c. Little River Park and Natural Area Update David Stancil said that there was a meeting held at the end of August with representatives from Durham County and Orange County to talk about the timeline, which is on page 23. This is followed by a draft inter-local agreement between the two counties. The next step is to present the concept plan to the Little River Park Advisory Council. David Stancil went over the summary of the meeting on August 28`h, which was on page 34. David Stancil said that the concept plan is only for the few acres around the meadow and the entrance. Chair Jacobs said that our staff is working on the trail aspect. Commissioner Brown asked who would handle the programming and David Stancil said Orange County. d. Smith Middle School Playing Fields David Stancil said that he and Bob Jones met with the Acting Recreation and Parks Director of Carrboro and staff. There are four issues, which are listed on page 35. One was about use of the joint use field, which is available for Town and County use after 4:00 p.m. on days when school is in session. There were some concerns about damage to the field by the high school football team. He took a picture of the field, and he did not see any damage. Item #2 is that the Town and the County were supposed to work together on programming and scheduling of the field when the school is not in session. The County learned that the Town had already taken the step to advertise and schedule the facility. The field's availability has been tied up by soccer. Carrboro did advertise this as a public service announcement in the paper and sent letters to all soccer organizations and other recreational organizations making them aware of the field. John Link said that Carrboro is charging the fees for the field's use and the Chapel Hill- Carrboro City School system is maintaining the field. He said that these are items that need further discussion by all parties. Rod Visser said that the Board would see a similar item on the September 17`h about the reimbursement to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School system of the money we owe them for constructing the field and making some drainage way improvements. Commissioner Gordon asked about how much it takes to maintain the fields. Assistant Superintendent of CHCCS Steve Scroggs said that it costs in excess of$4,000. Commissioner Brown asked about the lighting and David Stancil said that Carrboro's approved conditional use permit for the fields included a proviso that called for a modification to that permit at which time lighting was to be considered. A lighting plan has been developed. John Link made reference to page 36, item #4 and said that the school will not be an applicant for the lights. He said that it should be the responsibility of Carrboro. Commissioner Brown asked how the MOU would be reviewed. John Link said that it should be reviewed at the beginning of each season as to who is going to be using the facility. Commissioner Brown said that we spend a lot for fields but for someone to monopolize a field is not a public purpose. John Link said that it was a timing issue for the soccer groups. Chair Jacobs said that we did not discuss these fees and that we probably need to discuss scholarships and outreach on fields that the County has funded. Commissioner Brown said that we should have an opening ceremony for the field. Commissioner Gordon asked about the name and if it is changeable. Chair Jacobs suggested having a contest to name this field.
