IP Work Group Discussion Paper 1/31/02 Draft Policy Statement ATTACHMENT # 1 Use of County Funds for Joint Parks and Open Space Projects Identified Issues for Discussion — September -December , 2001 The issues identified appear to fall into four major areas . General agreement has been expressed on other areas of the policy statement : I . Degree of County Joint Approval ( Objective 3 ) The issue that has been raised here regards "bulleted" items at the end of Objective 3 . The County has expressed an interest in being more comprehensively involved in important decision - making about parks projects , consistent with the County' s financial responsibilities . The Town of Chapel Hill agrees in principle to many of the points (including joint approval of concept plans) , but has raised questions about the fairness /efficiency of County involvement in appointing all Concept Plan committee members ; possible project delays related to County involvement in consultant selection ; and potential delays because of joint approval of schedule changes and site plan approval . II . Consultation Procured by the County for Oversight of Design and Construction ( Objective 5 ) The County has proposed that the potential for oversight of the project by a County consultant be part of the agreement between Town and County . The Town of Chapel Hill has requested clarification of the type and nature of such consultation , as it relates to the Town' s current consultant process . III . Expectation of Responsibilities - Town Operation and Maintenance and County Capital Funding ( Objective 6 ) The Town of Chapel Hill has indicated that this is generally reasonable , but notes that over the long - term operation and maintenance costs will exceed capital costs . (Note : These potential roles were discussed in the October 30 , 2000 Joint Capital Funding for Parks report , presented at the Assembly of Governments meeting . )
