Throughout the planning process, the work group has inventoried current facilities, discussed joint standard development, and investigated issues related to pazkland acquisition and facilities funding. The following list highlights some of these issues. • Staff prepared an inventory of public, quasi public, and private facilities within the County that possess recreational opportunities for citizens. The database is structured to allow for constant updates and serve as the basis for a publicity brochure highlighting recreation resources in Orange County. • The role of recreation provision by U1VC was discussed, and further investigation into possible partnerships between municipalities and the University has been discussed. • The development of joint standards for all jurisdictions in recreation and pazk provision was discussed, and may be a recommendation for a future Recreation and Pazks Council (see below). • The coordination of school and park siting is a top priority, and work from the School/Land Use Council can be incorporated in order to further this effort. • A multi jurisdictional payment-in-lieu program is being investigated. A review of local programs, case studies of efforts throughout North Carolina and the U.S., and consultation with the Institute of Government, aze serving as the basis for this review. • Interjurisdictional capital funding efforts for parkland acquisition and recreation and project funding are being developed. A proposal to coordinate CIP budgets and acquisition mechanism for parks and recreation between all jurisdictions is being developed, with a goal of efficient service provision to the entire County. ..:.:..:..::.,.:.. ::>A: .>::v. .4.+..... ~. n........v :...{ .:..:..~::x::vr:.i::i:'l•?ii::v~i'ii~:.::.: Sy. .: ~:;.:5:~'...:::: J>iriii .:.r...fr....:...}.....a..n....nn..n....x~.~.~...v..4...::.::: w•r.v.: n..3.rii:i•:{vi.::rv;: •. .::: •: •:: •: :. ::.:.:::i w'•:},v.:.x.:::.: iiii% ..............v........ n.....y... .....~.... ..
