Title
Authorizing the Mayor to enter into a real estate purchase agreement and execute and deliver all other needed instruments, including but not limited to an easement and reciprocal parking lot agreement with the Lucas County Board of Commissioners for the acquisition of the real property commonly known as the Lucas County EMS Annex Building located at 129 21st Street Toledo Ohio; authorizing the acceptance of any related personal property including, but not limited to emergency vehicles, office equipment, and any medical supplies and necessities related thereto; making certain findings with respect thereto; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Ordinance No. 052-24 authorized the mayor to execute a jurisdictional agreement regarding the provision of countywide advanced life support emergency medical services. Over the last year, Lucas County has been working to transition this responsibility to the participating political subdivisions, including the City of Toledo. The building, located at 129 21st Street, operated as an annex service building abutting the Lucas County Emergency Medical Service properties. Lucas County has offered the “Annex” building to the City for $1.00 as it is no longer needed to house county emergency vehicles and personnel. The building location, garage bays and office space will be a valuable and operational asset to the fire and rescue department.
The City will grant an easement to the County for access and maintenance of the County’s generator located on the subject property.
The City and the County will enter into a reciprocal parking agreement for the subject property and the abutting Lucas County emergency services properties.
