Explanation
On June 23, 2008, Columbus City Council passed Ordinance No. 0851-2008 and on August 18, 2008, the City entered into a Guaranteed Maximum Reimbursement Agreement with Wagenbrenner Management, Inc., addressing, among other things, the demolition and remediation of Harrison Park.

This ordinance allows the Director of Recreation and Parks to authorize payment of TIF funds in Fund 788 to begin the survey work, design, engineering and bid document preparation for Harrison Park development.

This work is the second step in reclaiming a brownfield adjacent to the Olentangy River. The work proposed in this legislation will improve the water quality and establish much needed greenspace in the Harrison West Neighborhood.

The Harrison West Society (HWS) has a Parks subcommittee and is very involved in the issues surrounding the elimination of this brownfield and establishment of their Harrison Park. The HWS has been integrally involved in all aspects of the park design.

The Contract Compliance Number for Wagenbrenner Management Company is 31-1491162 and expires 06/04/2010.

Fund: 788 / OCA:788101 / Dept:51-01 / Project:788001 / Object Level 3: 6621 / Amount: $83,000.00
