Avondale aquatic center approved

City Council voted unanimously to accept funds that would allow it to build a new aquatic center in Avondale.

Passage of the ordinance authorizes the City to execute a restrictive covenant with the trustee of the Otto Armleder Memorial Trust, National City Bank, to develop the Otto Armleder Memorial Family Aquatics Center.

The City will also enter into a disbursement agreement with the bank to receive up to $1.9 million for the complex, which would be built at 3630 Reading Road, adjacent to the Hirsch Recreation Center.

A new City construction project account will receive $200,000 for design work as soon as it is established by the City's Finance Committee. Funds to fulfill construction contracts will be disbursed when the City provides the trustee with architectural drawings, its "Invitation to Bid" package, and the final award documents of the winning bidder.

The project has not yet been put out to bid.

The CRC currently operates one Otto Armleder Aquatics Center at 226 Stark Street in Over-the-Rhine. A second will open in 2008 at the Dunham Recreation Center in Price Hill.
