Title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A COST REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT WITH THE SUMMIT COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES (DODD) FOR PURCHASING PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR AN INCLUSIVE PLAYGROUND AT MIDDLETON PARK.
Brief Description: The Hudson Inclusive Playground Group (HIP) approached the Park Board and City Council in regard to constructing an all-inclusive playground in 2023. The HIP and the Park Board were to seek outside funding to aid in the expense of the project regarding the playground and the infrastructure for the playground. The HIP submitted an application to the Summit DODD and HIP has been awarded $430,000.00 by the DODD in early 2024. The DODD has asked that the city purchase the playground equipment, since HIP is not a governmental agency, and the DODD will reimburse the City of Hudson per the agreement up to $430,000 for the purchase. The equipment will be owned and maintained by the City of Hudson and can be used at any existing parks playgrounds, in case the inclusive playground is not constructed.
