In Fiscal Year 1979-80, <br /> O, <br /> a total of $80,000 was appropriated to the two towns (Carrboro and Chapel Hill) <br /> for recreation and park servfcea. A ten-percent increase for the current fis- <br /> cal year (80-81) brought this total to $88,000' Carrhnro.s portion o f this <br /> appropriation totals $26"40O; The 1880-81 budget for the Ou4nty Recreation <br /> ' and Parks Department was $195,288, not including the $88,000 for municipal' <br /> support. <br /> The Carrboro Board of Aldermen feels that an equitable formula for al\c- <br /> cating County recreation funding could be founded upon a per capita allocst.ian <br /> based on population figures from the North Carolina Department of Admfnis:razicn <br /> that are presently used for the state shared revenues formula. The formula <br /> be altered according to the current census figures when they are confirmed. <br /> The 1980-81 population breakdown was: <br /> lO O77 <br /> Carrboro 36,175 <br /> Chapel Hill figure includes Hillsborough and parts 23,149 <br /> County (This guro 69,401 <br /> of Mebane) ` <br /> A breakdown of funding for the Northern section person equals $8.43 per capita ($195,286 divided by 23,149). There is, of course, some dual usage e <br /> or participant cross-over within the three jurisdictions. ,A equitable distri- <br /> bution <br /> wou1d mean that the Town of Carrboro should be ent it led to $84,949.11 <br /> (10`077 population x 38'43 per person). This figure represents a more equitable <br /> e <br /> funding for providing leisure services for Cuu�ty residents residing in Carrboro <br /> based upon population. .� <br /> • <br /> At present, 544 participants in the Department's program were residing in <br /> Orange County but outside the incorporated limits of Carrboro and Chapel Hill. <br /> This figure is an actual number of participants and not repeat users and is <br /> taken from program records for the period July-December 31, 1980' It is <br /> ro SOX,n WEST MAIN STREET.CAnnoOwO NORTH CAROLINA 27510 <br /> ^N EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> �.� . <br /> . - • <br /> _ ___ <br />
