Explanation
In 2004, the City, the Columbus Zoological Park Association (“Association”) and the Board of County Commissioners of Franklin County, Ohio (“the Board of County Commissioners”) made an agreement for the use by the Association of funds from the ten-year tax levy that the electors of Franklin County, Ohio, adopted at the general election held on November 2, 2004. The Association has requested the Board of County Commissioners submit a proposed ten-year renewal tax levy for the provision and maintenance of the Columbus Zoo facilities to the electors of Franklin County at the election to be held on November 3, 2015. This legislation would authorize the Director of Recreation and Parks to execute a new agreement with the Association and Board of County Commissioners regarding the use of the levy funds.
