1 <br /> t, • <br /> 2 <br /> INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: John Link, County Manager <br /> FROM: Albert Kittrell, Assistant Manager <br /> DATE: April 10, 1989 <br /> SUBJECT: Efland-Cheeks Community Center and Park <br /> Directors from the Department on Aging (DOA) , Recreation <br /> and Parks and Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action Agency <br /> (JOCCA) have tentatively identified a site and outlined the <br /> design features to be included in the Efland-Cheeks Community <br /> Center and Park. A 10 acre tract of land owned by the School <br /> Board and adjacent to the Efland-Cheeks Elementary School is <br /> the recommended site for the project. The colocation of <br /> public facilities would centralize many common activities. <br /> The Community Center would accommodate senior citizen <br /> activities currently taking place at the leased Efland-Cheeks <br /> Multipurpose Center. Proper scheduling would permit the new <br /> structure to be used by the Community, all of the departments <br /> listed above, and the school system. Design of the Community <br /> Center would be a joint venture among JOCCA, Recreation and <br /> Parks, DOA, and School System Boards/Staffs and Community <br /> citizens. <br /> The Community Park would serve as a focal point for <br /> joint recreational activities. The design elements of the <br /> Park would be developed by Recreation and Parks, the School <br /> System, and community citizens with proper attention given to <br /> the following: security of park grounds, controlled access/ <br /> entrance gates, vehicular traffic, security of school <br /> grounds/buildings, security lights and selective cutting of <br /> trees. <br /> AK/ltc <br /> MJL4-10 <br />
