,~ by the task force. Laura Blackmon said that this information was developed before the report came forward. Once the presentation is made, the figures will be realigned. Gary Kramling is a resident of Carrboro. He spoke in reference to item 74, the Library Task Force. He said that it is hard to open a paper, watch a news program, etc., without hearing about the latest and greatest new facility going up in our area such as schools, social services, or libraries. These facilities are state of the art. He said that this has been his vision for Carrboro for at least six years. Since then, he has had children and the need for a library in this area is just as immediate and compelling. He urged the Board to consider using the reserve funds to benefit this area. The Chair closed the public hearing. 6.

West Ten Soccer Center Master Plan The Board reviewed the current adopted master plan for West Ten Soccer Center, and considered possible future facilities for addition to the master plan. Environment and Resources Conservation Director Dave Stancil said that the purpose of this item is to review the master plan and to consider possible future facilities for addition to the plan. The master plan was adopted in 2004. The master plan did not go through the normal process, but went through the Gravely Hill Middle School process, so there were some economies of scale. The soccer center contains five full-sized, lighted soccer fields with a small practice field. There is also a restroom/concession/maintenance building and a walking track.
