Explanation
Background
This Lease Agreement Addendum has been prepared to include the improvements to the Leased area know as Northcrest Park, located at 5095 Reed Road, Columbus, Ohio 43220. The original Agreement is by and between the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department ("CRPD") and The Wellington School ("TWS") and has been effective since March, 2005. (Ordinance #0730-2005) The goal of the Agreement is to establish operational guidelines and delineate responsibilities for the rental and use of Northcrest Park (the "Park") by TWS. The goal of the Addendum is to include the improvements to the Leased area within the Park.
The following improvements shall be put forth by the TWS:
The installation of the two, 6' high chain link dugouts (9 gauge wire, 2 ½' SS40 Terminal posts, 2" SS40 Line Posts, 1 5/8" SS40 Top Rail, Bracing), poured concrete pads, roof overhangs (6"x6" treated posts, 2"x6" Treated Framing, 2"x4" Treated Trusses, with corrugated metal roof).
Any and all maintenance associated with the improvements and the orginal lease, shall be the responsibility of the TWS. No additional improvements or alterations shall take place without prior approval.
The public will benefit from the dugouts and improvements associated with baseball play at the Park.
Fiscal Impact:
Emergency action is requested as we have implemented a Right of Entry Level to Wellington School with the understanding that the work to be completed for the improvements is not authorized until legislation is passed by City Council.
