Explanation

Background:
This ordinance will enable the Director of Recreation and Parks to accept a grant from the Ohio Valley Tennis Association in the amount of $5,000.00 and to appropriate these monies to the Recreation and Parks Private Grant Fund. These funds will provide for the improvement and operation of the Champions Tennis Center.

The Champions Tennis Center will provide for the purchase of items necessary to launch and sustain a complete tennis program for the City of Columbus including youth tennis clinics, group lessons and daily maintenance of clay tennis courts.

Emergency action is requested so the grant can be accepted in a timely manner and to have funding available for the beginning of the 2004 summer tennis season.

$5,000.00 in grant funding will be used exclusively for the operation of the Champions Tennis Center.
