However, the Cedar Grove Day Care Center uses it to prepare meals. <br />♦ The current playground is designed for toddlers. If older children visit the <br />facility on the weekends, there are no facilities for them to use. <br />♦ If approved by the BOCC this fiscal year, the proposed Clinical Nutritionist will <br />be able to provide a health department presence at the NHSC for <br />approximately 20 hours per week. <br />♦ With the purchase of the Kennedy tract, the issue regarding easements has <br />been resolved. <br />♦ The NC Department of Transportation grant to pave the southern lot was not <br />approved. Once we determine the outside design (i.e. circular drive, specific <br />parking configurations, etc.) the County can resubmit in January 2002 for <br />funding to pave the Park and Ride area. (Please note that the relocation of <br />the waste treatment system will affect the ability to develop the circular drive.) <br />♦ If administration of the Head Start Program is awarded to Chapel Hill <br />Training- Outreach Project and the program subsequently relocates to the <br />elementary schools and daycare centers in northern Orange County, the <br />Orange County Schools Superintendent has requested to use this space as <br />an alternative school. However, the task force has not had an opportunity to <br />assess this most recent request. <br />
