Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance approves the acceptance of certain territory (AN22-009) by the city of Columbus.

If City Council does not accept the ordinance within 120 days of its first consideration, the annexation will be considered rejected. This petition was filed with Franklin County on August 31, 2022.
