Due to an increase in expected construction costs, the Cincinnati Recreation Commission is seeking an extra $300,000 for the Otto Armleder Memorial Family Aquatics Center in Avondale.
In September, City Council voted unanimously to enter into a restrictive covenant with and to accept $1.9 million from the Otto Armleder Memorial Trust to build to complex adjacent to the Hirsch Recreation Center at 3630 Reading Road (BIRD'S EYE).
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.
An ordinance to amend the prior agreement is in City Council's Finance Committee.
