Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Ohio EPA has ordered multiple projects to be undertaken to mitigate and improve the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant and its related water system. The city recently completed construction of a new electrical substation and is currently in the process of constructing a new maintenance facility on existing city property as part of the required improvements. The property located at 642 Collins Park is immediately adjacent to and in between these two facilities. The current owner has expressed a desire to sell the property to the City of Toledo. The acquisition of the property at 642 Collins Park will provide additional space for operations at the new maintenance facility, and will further provide increased safety and security adjacent to the new electrical substation facilities. Funding for this purpose has previously been authorized in the Water Bond Improvement Fund as Water Plant Improvement.
