Explanation

Background:
By Resolutions 0268X-2019 and 0284X-2019, City Council, as the “organizational board of commissioners,” previously established the Marble Cliff Quarry Community Authority (the “Authority”) pursuant to Ohio Revised Code (“ORC”) Chapter 349 to support the redevelopment of approximately 300 acres of real property located at the northeast corner of Dublin Road and Trabue Road adjacent to a new metro park. Pursuant to Ordinance 3095-2019, the City and the Authority subsequently entered into the Marble Cliff Quarry Utility Cooperative Agreement to authorize the Authority to provide water and sewer service within its new community district. The Columbus and Franklin County Metropolitan Park District (“Metroparks”) is currently constructing the Quarry Trails Metro Park on land adjacent to the Authority’s new community district. Metroparks now seeks to join the Authority in order to obtain water and sewer service. On September 28, 2022, Metroparks submitted to the Clerk of City Council a Consent to Add Property to a New Community District (the “Consent”) to add the Quarry Trails Metro Park parcels to the Authority’s new community district. City Council is now required by ORC Chapter 349 to determine the sufficiency of the Consent to add the property to the Authority District, authorize public notices, and set a public hearing date on the Consent. In this Resolution, City Council authorizes the City’s Director of the Department of Development, or his or her authorized designee, to hold the required hearing and to forthwith certify to Council that the hearing was held as advertised.

Emergency Justification: Emergency action is requested in order to provide notice in a newspaper for three weeks prior to a public hearing and set the public hearing date within 30-45 days of the date after the Consent was filed in accordance with Ohio Revise Code Chapter 349.

Fiscal Impact: No funding is required for this legislation.
