Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The city will receive $180.9 million through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to be used to address the public health and negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Toledo Recovery Plan framework (authorized by Ordinance 530-21), which outlines the city's projects that will be funded through ARPA, includes $12,000,000 for major investments in Toledo’s parks and recreational facilities and playground equipment. This Ordinance authorizes the appropriation and expenditure of $4,815,000 of this amount for projects that will begin in 2022. Many of these 2022 projects will be funded through a combination of ARPA and other sources. The attached supporting documentation outlines the proposed projects and funding sources identified for each. This Ordinance only approves the appropriation and expenditure for the ARPA-related funding.
