The draft Action Plan is consistent with the Lands Legacy Long-Term Priorities document <br />(2002-2010) that was adopted by the Board in April, 2001. <br />Based on Board discussion at the November 11 work session, the Adams Tract has been <br />removed for separate consideration and is not a part of the Action Plan as presented here <br />(staff proposes to add it later if the Board decides to pursue the joint acquisition). Anew <br />secfion addressing working with UNC and Duke on land issues of mutual interesf has <br />been added, and language has also been added noting that acquisition of new parklands <br />will be considered in conjunction with updates planned to the Parks Element of the <br />Comprehensive Plan: <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds to accomplish the priority projects for FY 2002-2003 are <br />present in the current CIP and other existing and future sources, including appropriations <br />from the 2001 Parks and Open Space bond, alternative financing for conservation <br />easements, and the Lands Legacy Fund (pay-as-you go funding). Where known, the <br />proposed funding source is listed in the attached Action Plan (Table 1). Final decisions on <br />funding for land acquisitions are considered as purchases are presented for approval in <br />open session. As in previous acquisitions, in each case separate project budgets with <br />specific funding streams and amounts will be addressed at that time. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the revised <br />Annual Action Plan for 2002-2003. <br />
