Title
From the Director, Department of Transportation and Public Works, submitting an informational report regarding the O'Donnell Park parking structure improvements project. (Referred to the Committees on Transportation, Public Works, and Transit; Parks, Energy and Environment; and Finance and Audit.) (INFORMATIONAL ONLY UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY THE COMMITTEE)
Body
Background
The 2011 Adopted Capital includes O'Donnell Park Improvements with an appropriation of $6,557,830. Due to a delay in receiving the UWM land sale revenue, the budget amount has been reduced to $6,019,849. During the 2011 budget deliberations the County Board requested a detailed plan for these improvements. In November of 2010 the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) on behalf of the Department of Parks submitted an informational report highlighting the details of the recommended scope of work for the O'Donnell Park Parking Structure improvements. This report was received by the Committees on Transportation, Public Works and Transit and on Finance and Audit and placed on file. The Committee requested subsequent project status reports. The previous report #3 was dated March 16, 2011.
