Blythe, Deputy Finance <br />Director Ken Chavious, Planning Director Marvin Collins, Tax Assessor Kermit <br />Lloyd, Aging Director Jerry Passmore, Health Director Dan Reimer and <br />Recreation and Parks District Supervisor Wilma Tinney. <br />A. <br />Commissioner Carey indicated the Board has bean getting a lot of <br />feedback on the gresnway aspect of the Recreation and Parks Plan. xa is <br />aware that the matter is now before the Planning Board and normally would <br />like to wait until that Board wakes a recosmendation to the Board of <br />Commissioners on an issue of this importance but the feedback indicates that <br />the public is sufficiently enough confused and concerned about the public <br />access greenways that are proposed that that aspect of the Plan is obscuring <br />the entire Recreation and Parks Plan. He feels it important that the Board <br />of Commissioners give the Planning Board some direction on the <br />considerations they are likely to make at their next meeting. He proposed <br />that the Board add a discussion on the gresnways to the agenda and consider <br />deleting that portion from the Plan until all the questions can be answered <br />adequately. That aspect of the plan is going to overshadow the entire Plan <br />and cause some of the worthwhile elements to be scuttled because of their <br />association with the greenways. The Board agreed to add to the agenda as G- <br />7 a discussion on the proposed public access graenways. <br />Manager Link made a correction on itea F1 - Budget Amendments which is <br />reflected in the approval of that item. <br />The recommendation for item F2 was omitted from the abstract and should <br />indicate that the manager does recommend approval for the final RSVP <br />application. <br />Link announced that a public hearing will be held on Wednesday, March 30 <br />at 7:30 p.m. in Superior Courtroom in the Orange County Courthouse on the. <br />Durham/Chapel Hill/Carrboro Thoroughfare Plan. <br />B.
