the proposal satisfies the majority of the guidelines set forth in the SSF document as well as the recommendations of the Soccer Symposium Task Force. A representative from Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation will be present at the meeting and will describe the proposal relative to the project plan- (attachment B). On April 20, 2010, the Board authorized staff to move forward with the proposed project. County and town staffs have worked together to develop a proposed Interlocal Agreement. Sections of the draft agreement include details on the following: • Term of the Agreement -five years • Phasing -field in first phase with County partnership, lights and additional improvements in second (unscheduled) phase without County partnership • Project management -Chapel Hill • Maintenance and operations -Chapel Hill • Availability -Leased and unscheduled use • Additional funding - no additional funding from Orange County Town staff and the Town Attorney have reviewed the draft Agreement. If approved, the schedule for the project proposal and grant application moving forward would be: • Town Council consideration -January 10, 2011 • BOCC approval of any changes (if needed) -January 20, 2011 • PARTF Grant application due -January 31, 2011 • PARTF Grant awards -May-June 2011 FINANCIAL IMPACT: Of the $650,000 in SSF funds appropriated to Twin Creeks in 2005, approximately $623,000 remains and is available for reallocation. If the Interlocal Agreement is approved, these funds would be reassigned to the new project. The Town of Chapel Hill would then use this partnership and other town funds to leverage a Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant for the proposed Cedar Falls Park soccer field project. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Interlocal Agreement and authorize him to sign the Interlocal Agreement for the installation of artificial turf at Cedar Falls Park.
