Explanation
BACKGROUND: The City owns real property located at 4747 Refugee Road and 2845 Noe-Bixby Road, Columbus, Ohio, 43232 {Franklin County Tax Parcels 180-003876 and 010-118520} (“Property”) which is managed by the Recreation and Parks Department (“CRPD”) and part of Nafzger Park and the surrounding area (“Nafzger”).

This ordinance authorizes the Director of CRPD, on behalf of the City, to execute and acknowledge any necessary instrument(s), as approved by the City Attorney, in order to quit claim grant the Easement to Franklin County.

EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested to allow these Easements to be granted in a timely manner and meet Franklin County and the Ohio Department of Transportation’s construction schedule which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety and welfare.
