He <br />said he hoped Durham County will become more involved. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked if the completion of the historic properties book is still on <br />track. <br />David Stancil said yes, and this is part of the non - departmental budget. He said the <br />Historic Preservation Commission is working on this. He said it is a heavy undertaking, but will <br />be a remarkable document when finished in about a year or so. <br />Commissioner Price referred to Fairview Park, and asked if there is a timeline for <br />improvements there and if there has been any discussion regarding community center. <br />David Stancil said he has not heard much about the need for a community center, other <br />than second hand anecdotal accounts. He said the Fairview park monitors will be in place <br />again this summer. He said the mitigation assessment of the former landfill is also being <br />completed, and met with the community recently to discuss some of the findings from that <br />study. He said future use of this land is scheduled about 4 -5 years out in the Capital <br />Investment Plan (CIP). <br />Chair Dorosin referred to the contributions to the community centers, and asked if there <br />is a process by which this number is determined. He said the Rogers Road Community Center <br />has an intense amount of programming, but receives the least amount of funds. <br />David Stancil said the Rogers Road Community Center is more established, and has <br />been successful at finding other funding sources for programming. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said the community centers create and submit budgets to the <br />County, and the Rogers Road Community Center has access to so many volunteers and <br />resources due to its location. <br />Bonnie Hammersley said last year there was a request for a mower for Blackwood <br />Farm, and David Stancil will address this. <br />David Stancil said staff looked at a number of options and at the end of the day, <br />introducing livestock was cost prohibitive, so many fields were put back into hay and grass <br />production. He said staff recently solicited bids from farmers to work this land, and a contract is <br />in the works. <br />Economic Development <br />• Economic Development — page 144- Steve Brantley, Economic Development Director, <br />and Laurie Paolicelli, Visitors' Bureau (VB) Director. <br />• Total expenditure budget - $513,461 <br />• Transfers Administrative Assistant III Position to Planning and <br />Inspections - $69,135 <br />• Serve as Development Services Concierge to Improve Central <br />Permitting Customer Service <br />• Schedule and Coordinate Development Services Team for New <br />and Existing Businesses <br />❖ Economic Development <br />❖ Planning, Building, Erosion Control Inspections <br />❖ Environmental Health <br />❖ Fire Marshal <br />❖ Others as Needed <br />Chapel Hill Orange County Visitors Bureau <br />• Chapel Hill Orange County Visitors Bureau — page <br />
