Explanation
BACKGROUND:
This ordinance will authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to enter into contract with Franklin County Metro Parks in the amount of $300,000.00.

These funds will be used (along with Clean Ohio Revitalization Funds and Metro Parks funds) to remediate environmental conditions at the former City of Columbus Whittier Peninsula Impound Lot in 2011. There are several locations at the site where chemicals of concern that were generated when the impound lot was active or predated the impound lot exceed acceptable standards. These funds will be used to remove and properly dispose of impacted soils, or, they will be used to place a soil cap on the impacted soils allowing the site to be safely used for parks and recreation purposes. These funds were identified in a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Columbus and Metro Parks that was entered into in 2010.
