Title
Authorizing the expenditure of $100,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund District Improvement Program for restoration of Tennis Courts at Ottawa Park; authorizing the Mayor to execute the necessary contract; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The Friends of Ottawa Park submitted a District Improvement Program application to provide funding to restore the six tennis courts at Ottawa Park. The District Improvement Review Committee convened on July 31, 2023, and recommended approval of this application in an amount of $100,000.
The current courts have developed large cracks which deteriorate the level of play and also could result potential injury to players. The restoration project will replace the surfacing, net poles, nets, and associated signage. The total cost of the project is estimated at $250,000 with the remainder of the funding coming from ARPA ORD# 71-23 and CIP ORD# 241-23.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That a sum of $100,000 is authorized for expenditure from Account Code 5040-16400-8CP2132DNGPRO from the Capital Improvement Fund District Improvement Program for restoration of the tennis courts at Ottawa Park.

That the Mayor is authorized to execute the necessary contract from the District Improvement Program for restoration of the tennis courts at Ottawa Park, upon such terms and conditions as shall be approved by the Director of the Department of Economic Development, the Director of Parks & Youth Services, and the Director of Law.
