Explanation
AN19-008
BACKGROUND: This ordinance is being submitted to authorize the Director of the Department of Public Service to file a Type I annexation petition for a 0.103 acre site in Plain Township, Franklin County. This property will be used by the City to facilitate construction of a road widening project near the intersection of Harlem and Warner Roads. Annexation will allow all city-owned right of way to be within the corporate boundary. Upon approval by City Council, a certified copy of this ordinance will be provided to the Franklin County Commissioners in conjunction with an annexation petition.
The use of a Type 1 annexation application is stipulated in the annexation agreement between the City and Plain Township. The annexation agreement also requires that territory annexed to the City from Plain Township be transferred to Montgomery Township. A separate ordinance will be submitted upon approval by the Board of Franklin County Commissioners, authorizing acceptance of the annexation and subsequent boundary conformance.
FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance has no direct fiscal impact. Provision of municipal services does represent cost to the City; however, the annexation of land also has the potential to create revenue to the City.
