RS2026-2282: A resolution accepting an in-kind grant from the Centennial Park Conservancy to the Metropolitan Government, acting by and through the Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation, to fund an enhanced scope within the current Centennial Park Revitalization Project for upgraded sod for the lawn adjacent to the Croquet Café.

Description

A resolution accepting an in-kind grant from the Centennial Park Conservancy to the Metropolitan Government, acting by and through the Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation, to fund an enhanced scope within the current Centennial Park Revitalization Project for upgraded sod for the lawn adjacent to the Croquet Café.

Summary

The proposed Nashville resolution authorizes acceptance of a $50,000 in-kind grant from the Centennial Park Conservancy by Metro Parks and Recreation. The grant would expand the existing Centennial Park Revitalization Project by providing upgraded sod for the lawn next to the Croquet Café. The Conservancy will pay the turf vendor directly, so no funds will be transferred to Metro, no local match is required, and Metro assumes no additional financial obligation. The legislation affects Metro Parks, the Conservancy, project contractors, and Centennial Park users. Council approval formally permits the improvement and allows it to be incorporated into the project.
