2 <br /> r <br /> AGENDA#7d <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Town Council Members <br /> FROM: Rosemary I. Waldorf,Mayor <br /> SUBJECT: Request for County Funding of Gymnasium at the Southern Village Elementary <br /> School <br /> DATE: February 24, 1997 (RESUBAHMED for March 3, 1997) <br /> In January, we referred to the Orange County Board of Commissioners a petition from the <br /> Chapel Hill-Canrboro City Schools for funding of a gymnasium at the new elementary school in <br /> the Southern Village. The idea for a gym was first proposed by our Parks and Recreation <br /> Commission. <br /> I recommend as a follow-up action that the Council request that the Orange County Board of <br /> Commissioners allocate $750,000 to fund a full-size gymnasium at the Southern Village <br /> elementary school. <br /> The Council might also wish to consider sugg that we work with the County to develop a <br /> concept plan for a park here. The Commissr ' request that a second access be allowed <br /> through the park land makes such planning seem reasonable. <br /> i believe that making this request now would bb timely..If the gymnasium is planned and built <br /> now,it would likely be less costly than adding to a structure once it is built. <br /> The attacbed resolution would make the request to the County. <br /> A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THAT' THE ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF <br /> COMIVIISNW4ZRS ALLOCATE $750,000 TO FUND A FULL-SIZE GYI WASIUM IN <br /> THE ELFNWMARY SCHOOL PLANNED iN THE SOUTHERN VILLAGE <br /> (97-3-3/R-10) <br /> BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Town,Iof Chapel Hill that the Council requests that the <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners allocatt 5750,000 to fiord a full-size gymnasium as part <br /> of the conswuedon of a new elementary school iii the Southern Village area. <br /> This the 3'd day of March, 1997. <br />
