Explanation

This ordinance will authorize the Director of Public Utilities to submit a grant application to the NatureWorks grant program administered by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources for consideration for grant funding. This grant program requires a 25% local match. The total amount of the project is $105,650.00. The grant amount is $79,237.00. The grant, should it be awarded, will provide funding for the Hoover Lower East Development Project (in Franklin County). This project will provide safer access to the existing pavilion, protect the stream and install green infrastructure in and around the parking area to lessen the impact of stormwater runoff into one of the City's raw water sources.

The Hoover Lower East Development Project's proposed improvements include the development of a parking area with a stormwater wetland and infiltration trench, the removal and native restoration of an existing gravel parking area in close proximity to an existing stream, and related activities.

A subsequent ordinance to accept this grant, should it be awarded, is required before the City will obligate its funds.

It is requested that this Ordinance be handled in an emergency manner as the grant requires this authorization to submit the grant application be passed prior to the application deadline date of February 1, 2011.
