Using comments from these meetings, ERCD and Recreation and Parks staff have met to <br />review the timing and available resources for each of the projects, both individually and as <br />a comprehensive set. Staff has evaluated the projects based on the status and <br />"readiness" of the project, and the available resources (financial and staff) using the CIP <br />and the adopted Bond and Alternative Financing Schedule. As such, the Park Summary <br />(or Action) Sheets have been updated, and the project timetables revised in accordance <br />with these factors. One new item has been added, staff suggestions for the sequence of <br />activity for the park projects (with available resources in mind). A map of each planned <br />facility is also provided. <br />The following table illustrates the status of the different park projects, which fall into three <br />categories. <br />Park Project <br />New County Projects Recommended Action <br />Efland-Cheeks Park (II) Staff proposes committee review of 1996 concept plan <br />and recommendations on phase II facilities, beginning <br />in March 2003" <br />Cedar Grove Park Staff proposes concept plan process begin May 2003` <br />Fairview Park Staff proposes that joint County/Town Master Plan <br />process begin, after completion of Memorandum of <br />Understanding with Town of Hillsborough and receipt <br />of site evaluation (potentially.
