Title

Authorizing the disappropriation of $60,000 from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund; authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of same from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund for improvements at Highland Park; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for said purpose; and declaring an emergency.

 

Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

Ordinance 71-23 authorized expenditures of $4,810,000 for projects related to City of Toledo Parks infrastructure revitalization projects.  Funds will be used for professional services, equipment, and construction projects focused on improving the infrastructure in our city parks and recreational facilities. With the community and senior centers fully funded, $60,000 originally allocated for the Highland Park Shelter building improvements can now be reallocated to pay for the installation of the restrooms at Highland Park.

 

Summary

NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

 

                     SECTION 1.  That the disappropriation of $60,000 is authorized from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Account Code 2021-40100-7PARKSF008NEI (Highland Shelter Improvements).

 

SECTION 2.  That appropriation of $60,000 is authorized from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund to Account Code 2021-40100-7PARKSF004NEI and the expenditure of same is authorized for Highland Park Renovations.

 

SECTION 3. That the Mayor is authorized to accept bids and award contracts for the purpose authorized in Section 2, upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Director of Parks and Youth Services and the Director of Law.

 

                     SECTION 4. That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the above Account Code in an amount not to exceed $60,000 in payment of the above authorized obligations and upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.

 

SECTION 5.  That this Ordinance, being an emergency measure, shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that the Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and property, and for the further reason that this Ordinance must be immediately effective in order to timely obligate federal ARPA funds and so that the Highland Park Improvements can be completed.
