Background:
This ordinance will authorize the appropriation and transfer of $15,000.00 within the Recreation and Parks Permanent Improvement Fund No. 747, and authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into a contract with the Clintonville Community fund to provide partial funding, not to exceed $15,000.00, for a feasibility study for a fundraising campaign for renovations to Whatstone Recreation Center.

Fiscal Impact:
$15,000.00 is budgeted in the Recreation and Parks Permanent Improvement Fund to meet the financial obligation of this project
