Explanation
BACKGROUND: The City owns real property located at 0000 W Fifth Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43212 {Franklin County Tax Parcel 010-067298} (“Property”) which is managed by the Recreation and Parks Department (“CRPD”).

In order to accommodate the construction, operation and ongoing maintenance of the Improvement, OSU has requested a 0.077 acre non-exclusive easement (the “Easement”) through the Property. The Department of Public Utilities (“DPU”) and CRPD have reviewed the easement and have no objection to its location and to granting it at no cost in the interest of inter-governmental cooperation. The Easement is more fully described in the three (3) page attachment to this ordinance.
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management, on behalf of the City, to execute and acknowledge any necessary instrument(s), as approved by the City Attorney, in order to quitclaim grant the Easement to OSU.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE NO.: Not applicable.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not Applicable.
EMERGENCY JUSTIFICATION: Emergency action is requested to allow this Easement to be granted in a timely manner and meet OSU’s construction schedule which will preserve the public peace, health, property, safety and welfare.
