2. LEGISLATIVE READINGS:
A. ORDINANCE
2003-108, “AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF $490,000 OF NOTES BY THE
CITY OF PICKERINGTON, OHIO, IN ANTICIPATION OF THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS, FOR THE
PURPOSE OF PAYING PART OF THE COST OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS KNOWN AS THE HILL
ROAD CONNECTOR, SPECIFICALLY, ACQUIRING REAL ESTATE AND ENGINEERING DESIGN
THEREFOR,” Third Reading, Wright.
Mr. Wright moved to adopt; Mr. Parker seconded the motion. Mr. Shaver stated he would once again note
his objections to this project. He
stated the property the first portion of this road was built on has not been
deeded to the City, so we have built a road on property we do not own. He further stated we have received only a
pittance from this TIF area and there still are no signs of projects in this
area. He stated we will be purchasing
property for a road that we are not sure will ever be built, and even if we eventually
build this road, there is no reasonable expectation it will be done in the near
future. Mr. Shaver stated we would also
be spending $100,000 to engineer a project we see no hope of commencing in the
next four to five years, and he felt it was a waste of money. Roll call was taken with Mr. Shaver and Mrs.
Riggs voting “Nay,” and Mr. Fox, Mr. Parker, Mr. Sabatino, and Mr. Wright
voting “Yea.” Motion passed, 4-2.
3. ADJOURNMENT. There being nothing further, Mr. Fox moved
to adjourn; Mr. Parker seconded the motion.
Mrs. Riggs, Mr. Shaver, Mr. Wright, Mr. Fox, Mr. Parker, and Mr.
Sabatino voted “Aye.” Motion carried,
6-0. The special meeting adjourned
at 7:36 P.M., December 30, 2003.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
