FY 2001-2002FY 2000 20011999 2000 2 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS DRAFT APPROVED GOAL Revised 05/03/99 Approved: 06/21/99 Revised. 01 11 1/00 Revised: 0ca-06/01/00 Revised 11/21/00 STATUS REPORT This goal is a continuation of the goal to update the Master Recreation & Parks Plan that was adopted in 1988. The original goal was adopted in August of 1997 as a result of recommendations at were presented in previous reports. The Assembly of Governments Report entitled"Recreation and Parks Issues in Orange County,N.C."was presented in February of 1996 and the "Coordination of Parks and Recreation Services for Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Orange County" report was presented in May of 1997. The first priority identified in these reports was to Develop a Joint Capital Facilities Plan for all jurisdictions, which was endorsed by each elected Board. As a result, a steering committee was established to organize a Joint Master Recreation and Parks Work Group. The Work Group was established in January of 1998 and began meeting regularly to prepare a final report for a Joint County-Wide Capital Facilities Plan Master Recreation and Parks (JMRP) report for Recreation and Parks. The Work Group completed its report in May 1999. On May 3, the Board took actions adopting revised recommendations of the JMRP Report and related proposals regarding an InterGovernmental Parks Council. The Board also instructed staff to begin identifying and acquiring future parklands, through the Lands Legacy Interim Action Plan. Some timelines have been adjusted to reflect the actions on the JMRP report and activities related to these actions (Intergovernmental Parks Work Group). Objective 7 has been added to reflect the final step of this goal—the update of the County Master Recreation and Parks Element.
