Agenda Report #



TO: Mayor and Council



SUBJECT: Addressing



INITIATED BY: Richard Bishop, Deputy City Manager







Recommendation: Approve Columbus Code Section 18-53 entiled "Address

Assignments"



Background: The Engineering Department and Public Safety (911) have

been working to insure that correct addresses are in the 911 communication

system. Two areas, apartment complexes and large rural areas that have been

subdivided have been identified as areas of concern where correct addresses

are not in the system. These areas are given addresses that are not on streets

that have been accepted by the City. When this occurs, a call to 911, will

not provide the correct address for 911 response vehicles. The ordinance change

will provide the opportunity for apartments and rural areas to have streets

recognized for addressing purposes only.



Analysis: City Staff and representative from apartments complex have been

working together on this change.



Financial Considerations: There will be no cost to the City. Apartment owners

will be provided a transition



Legal Considerations: The City Attorney has reviewed this ordinance change and

approves.



Recommendations/ Actions: Approve Columbus Code Section 18-53 entiled "Address

Assignments"
