Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $25,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for renovation of the athletic field at Robinson Park; authorizing the Mayor to accept bids and award contracts for said purpose; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes expending up to $25,000 for renovation of the athletic field at Robinson Park. This athletic field is located at the site of the former Robinson Elementary building. In the time since the school was demolished, ruble and remains of foundations have become exposed on the playing field. This project will remove the ruble and demolish the remaining foundations. It also includes proper grading and seeding to ensure a good quality athletic field as well as construction of an open-air shelter house. This site is one of the City’s shared use facilities with Toledo Public Schools. Funds for this project were allocated in the 2025 Capital Improvement fund. The CIP expenditure will be combined with a CDBG grant and a District #4 DIP award for a total investment of $318,000.
