<br /> One of the important results of this report will be the laying of groundwork
<br /> for future matching funds and grant programs - - many of which require a set
<br /> of goals, objectives and criteria . As Orange County , Chapel Hill , Carrboro and
<br /> Hillsborough develop , the nature of future park and recreation provision will
<br /> likely include cooperative ventures among the local . governments *and
<br /> partnerships with organizations such as - the school systems , OWASA , UNC
<br /> and Duke . Planning for this eventuality should begin now , to ensure - that -
<br /> valuable opportunities are not lost . These concepts were in fact , the reason
<br /> for this effort ; as described in the Assembly of Governments and Manager's
<br /> reports from 1996/ 1997 ,
<br /> In its deliberations , the Master- Recreation and Parks Work Group has
<br /> developed recommendations - in . nine key areas ,
<br /> An Create a " Parks and Resource Lands Council "
<br /> b
<br /> In developing plans for long - term recreation and parks planning ,
<br /> the Work Group has identified a need for a permanent joint
<br /> Parks and Resource Lands Council . For example , this council
<br /> might include one elected official * and one4 citizen from each
<br /> jurisdiction , along with representatives from the school systems ,
<br /> UNC , OWASA and -Duke . The Council could meet . quarterly to
<br /> address follow =up concerns An the areas discussed in - this report .
<br /> The opportunity i, n this Work Group to bring all of the different.
<br /> local governments to the table has been useful and informative ,
<br /> and the Work Group feels that this . momentum could: be -
<br /> continued through a long - term mechanism . While the actual
<br /> duties of the Council would need to be determined , some areas
<br /> of responsibility ' mi4 . ght include :
<br /> • Develop" and periodically review coordinated standards ; .
<br /> • Develop future bond . proposals for -parks and recreation ;
<br /> • Provide input and a ' co.ordinatin. g mechanism. for updates of
<br /> future recreation plans in the different jurisdictions ;
<br /> • Make recommendations on allocation of future bond moneys
<br /> for parks and recreation ;
<br /> Develop grant applications . and alternative funding sources ; .
<br /> Maintain and update the Inventory . of Parks and Recreation
<br /> . Facilities developed as part of this effort ;
<br /> • Create' and maintain an inventory of properties dedicated or
<br /> accepted as part of the development process ,
<br /> • Monitor success of efforts to protect significant natural areas
<br /> as identified in the Natural Areas Inventory , watershed
