Clerk read a resolution to spend up to $350,000 for splash pad equipment at the John A. Patton Community Center; staff said a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the city for maintenance will be included in next week’s packet and committee action was deferred.

Resolution 126-23 was read in committee to approve expenditure of funds in an amount not to exceed $350,000 for splash pad equipment at the John A. Patton Community Center for the Hamilton County Parks and Recreation Department, and to authorize the county mayor to sign contracts necessary to implement the project.

County staff said they are finalizing a memorandum of understanding with the City of Chattanooga that will address maintenance responsibilities because the splash pad will be located on city property. Commissioners requested the MOU be included in the packet before next week’s vote so they can review maintenance and operating details.

The committee did not take a vote; the chair set the matter to be considered at the next meeting.
