DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Marion County Parks & Recreation, through an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Belleview (the City), manages and maintains the Belleview Sportsplex. Unforeseen electrical issues at the baseball fields require a substantial repair and upgrade project to improve the safety and functionality of the lighting system in and around said baseball fields.
Marion County obtained three quotes with different repair and upgrade options: repairs using overhead wiring; repairs using underground wiring and the existing lights; repairs using underground wiring and an upgrade to LED lighting. Marion County originally committed to funding the first option and presented all three options to the City for consideration of funding assistance. The City elected the third option to use underground wiring and LED lighting and to meet the difference in cost between the first and third option.
Through this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), the City has committed to investing $316,599 towards the lighting repair and upgrade project. Staff with the Parks & Recreation department are presenting this MOU for the Board consideration and approval, prior to moving forward with the project.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Neutral; contribution from the City of Belleview in the amount of $316,599.
