Explanation
Background:
There currently exists an Interim Operating Agreement among the City, COSI Columbus, and Capitol South Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation for the joint operation of all parking facilities, grounds and other exterior areas on the Scioto Peninsula. This agreement has provided adequate management of the site. The Capitol South partners have given proper notice that effective December 31, 2009, that they have elected to sever their relationship with the Department of Recreation and Parks and COSI Columbus regarding management of the Scioto Peninsula. The agreement area consists of all City-owned property on the Scioto Peninsula bounded by the Scioto River, Broad Street, and Railroad Right-of-Way and also includes the bike trail along the Scioto Peninsula behind Veterans' Memorial to Souder Avenue.
This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into an agreement with the Franklin County Historical Society, dba COSI Columbus, for the joint operation of all parking facilities, grounds and exterior areas of the Scioto Peninsula owned or controlled by the Recreation and Parks Department and COSI Columbus consistent with the terms set forth in the Terms Outline. This ordinance will also authorize the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to consent to the assignment of Capitol South's duties and responsibilities under the Interim Operating Agreement to COSI Columbus and will also permit the City's net parking revenues to be used for Riverfront activities as authorized, from time to time, by the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department.
