Explanation
BACKGROUND: This Council is being asked to approve the Base Services Plan and Transit Services Plan (both attached) to be provided by the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District; and to approve the properties of the municipal corporation in said plans for services.
A companion ordinance is being presented simultaneously that approves the Petition and Articles of Incorporation that are on file with the Clerk of the Columbus City Council.
At the request of property owners in the core of Downtown, City Council authorized the creation of the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District of Columbus, Inc. (Capital Crossroads SID) in 2001 to begin collecting assessments for services in the SID area. The Capital Crossroads SID has operated successfully since its inception and the property owners reauthorized the Capital Crossroads SID in 2006, 2011 and 2016 with Council’s consent. City Council approved the addition of the Transit Services Plan for the Capital Crossroads SID at the request of property owners in 2017. The property owners now request reauthorization of the Base Services Plan for an additional four-year period (2022-2025) and the Transit Services Plan for an additional five-year period (2021-2025), both with slightly different boundaries.
A one-petition process has been initiated in which at least 60% of the property owners within the District signed that they are interested in reauthorizing the SID and they approve of both plans for services to be provided by the SID.
This resolution is the second of a series of four actions required by Chapter 1710 of the Ohio Revised code to reauthorize.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
