The City Council of Columbus passed an ordinance to accept various deeds for parcels of real property, dedicating them as public road rights-of-way and naming them as public roadways. These parcels were acquired through various means, including court entries, general warranty deeds, highway easements, and a governor's deed, from multiple entities and individuals. The purpose is to ensure all public street and alley improvements are located entirely within public right-of-way and to comply with Ohio Revised Code Chapter 723.03. This action also exempts the deeded properties from property taxes.
