TITLE
An Ordinance of the County of Allegheny, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, authorizing the ratification and execution of a lease of County owned real property with Dennis and Mary Beth Cillo, including the operation and management of the South Park Pony Ring on Corrigan Drive, South Park Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.
BODY
Whereas, the County of Allegheny Parks Department advertised for the continued management and operation of a pony ring in South Park, utilizing an existing pony ring; and
Whereas, the award of this contract was for a period from May 3015, 2003 through December 30, 2006, with the possibility of being extended until May 1, 2008 pending the construction of a small stable on the property by the concessionaire; and
Whereas, the County deems it to be in the public interest to grant continued use of this site to Dennis and Mary Beth Cillo because the park patrons have long enjoyed pony rides and the Cillos have expanded the use by offering carriage rides; and
