Explanation
BA21-001
Background:
A boundary adjustment between the City of Columbus and the City of Hilliard has been proposed. The site is in Frazell Road, from just south of the Collier Hill Drive intersection to Franks Park, and consists entirely of right of way. The proposed adjustment moves the City of Columbus corporate boundary slightly westward, to exclude the right of way. The transfer will place the entirety of the right of way along this span of Frazell Road within the City of Hilliard. This legislation is being filed in response to the provisions of the Ohio Revised Code - section 709.37 regarding municipal boundary adjustments. Parallel legislation is being submitted to Hilliard City Council. Columbus approval will allow the adjustment proposal to be submitted to Franklin County for finalization.
Fiscal Impact:
None
