5 • In terms of project funding, the following arrangement is proposed: 0 $20,000 is available through the APES Program of the N.C. Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources. 0 The difference may be made up in part through Survey and Planning Grant funds available though the State Historic Planning Office. A total of$7,500 is to be requested through a 'Joint" grant application to be submitted by the N.C. Association of County Commissioners on behalf of the three participating counties.Orange County is a CLG or Certified Local Government for historic preservation purposes, and it would be requesting $2,500 from CLG grant funds. Currituck and Craven counties would be requesting$2,500 each from funds earmarked for non- CLG jurisdictions. 0 Additional funding may be available through the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Contact has been made with that organization and two funding possibilities exist. Depending upon the amount and form of student assistance,and the availability of funds through the Cooperative Extension Service, funding from the National Trust may not be required. However, if summer internships are necessary,a grant application could be submitted for this purpose. • In terms of project administration,particularly the disbursement of funds from multiple sources,the N.C.Association of County Commissioners has indicated it would be responsible for project oversight. • The Association of County Commissioners has expressed interest in having a session at its annual convention at which the consultant and representatives from the three pilot counties and the State agencies would present the study. Similar arrangements could be made in association with historic preservation and planning conferences. (The cost of travel associated with such events is not part of the project budget and would be dealt with separately by individual organizations or agencies.) The deadline for receipt of 1995 Survey&Planning Grant Applications is January 31, 1995. Each of the three counties is being requested to submit letters of support which will be included as part of the application. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the approach as outlined above. The Administration further recommends that the Chair be authorized to sign the attached letter of support for inclusion in the grant application to be submitted by the N.C. Association of County Commissioners.
