Explanation

Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Greenlawn Farm, LLC, dba Greenlawn Landscape Contracting, for the construction of a canoe and kayak launch site at the end of 2nd Avenue at Harrison Park in the Harrison West neighborhood. This launch site is supported by the Harrison West Society and the improvements will serve existing users of the Olentangy Water Trail.

An emergency exists in that it is immediately necessary to enter into said contract so that work may be completed during a low water period of the Olentangy River.
