SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Friends of Ottawa-Jermain Park submitted a District Improvement Program application for the Ottawa-Jermain Mountain Bike Trail Improvements Project in District 1.

The proposal includes utilizing District Improvement funds for the purchase of materials, with the labor to be supplied by volunteers from the Friends of Ottawa-Jermain Park. The District Improvement Review Committee convened on August 30, 2021, and recommended approval of this application in an amount not to exceed $ 12,676.07.
