The Board also instructed staff to meet to discuss the issues and asked the Clerk to look to schedule a meeting of the four partner elected boards to discuss next steps. Staffs met in December 2009 to review the project details, and the potential meeting of elected boards has not been scheduled pending the alternative consideration of convening a small group of elected board representatives. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with consideration of the Hollow Rock Access Area Master Plan. However, implementation of the plan, which would come as a result of future elected board discussions, would have costs associated with both construction and operation and maintenance. The estimated cost of Phase 1 of the site development is $425,000 (Phase 1A, described as 'essential' elements, is estimated at $250,000- 350,000). There is no current funding for this facility, a fact that was shared with the Master Plan Committee prior to planning. The FY 2009 -19 CIP reflects potential future funding in the amount of $625,000 in FY 2016 -17. It is expected that funding for the site would be shared among the partners. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: 1) Approve the proposed master plan, and 2) Direct staff to schedule an opportunity for representatives from the Board to discuss master plan implementation (including key issues, future construction and operation) with representatives from the Durham County Board of Commissioners, Chapel Hill Town Council, and Durham City Council. The Board would select Commissioner representatives for this meeting at a future point after completion of the current budget cycle (Note: Commissioners Gordon and Jacobs currently serve on one existing group, the Durham - Chapel Hill- Orange County Work Group).
