The Downtown Rotary Club shall spend up to One Hundred Sixty Thousand Dollars ($160,000.00) for the development and construction of the new playground in the Park, and reserves the right to voluntarily contribute additional sums as it deems necessary and appropriate. The Agreement is attached for City Council review. |
