appraisals. Counting the approved grant funds and commitments from TLC/ERA, the County's <br />actual final cost will be considerably less - $89,028 (or $656/acre). All necessary appraisals and <br />surveys of the property havE been completed. <br />Once the properly is purchased, it would be administered jointly by Orange and Durham <br />Counties. An inter-local agreement will be developed to have Orange County take the lead in <br />managing the park (Durham County does not have a Recreation and Parks Department). A joint <br />committee has been proposed to develop initial plans on use for the park/natural area. <br />Concurrently, TLC and ERA are continuing to work with the owners of an adjacent 179-acre <br />property toward conservation easements that could maintain a portion of that property in open <br />space, as well. <br />A budget amendment will be prepared in advance of the property closing which accounts for the <br />grants received and the County's share of funding. <br />.FINANCIAL IMPACT: The County's portion of the parkland purchase will be $367,978. This <br />includes the option payment and the County's portion of surveys, appraisal, environmental <br />assessment, and closing costs: With grant moneys from the two state trust funds, and the fund- <br />raising commitments of TLC and ERA, the County's final cost would be $89,028. At the time of <br />closing; to occur no later than October 31, 2000, the County would pay $256,086 ($343,586 <br />including $87,500 from the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. The Clean Water grant and <br />TLC/ERA fund-raising contributions would not be available until after October 31 and would be <br />a reimbursement to the County). The recommended funding sources for the purchase are <br />$156,086 up front ($44,514 after all funds received) from the 1997 parkland acquisition bonds <br />($2.89 million remaining), and $100,000 up front ($44,514 after all funds received) from the <br />recreatioh and open space payment-in-lieu funds ($102,000+ currently available). <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board exercise the option to <br />purchase this property, with a closing to ,occur on or before October 31, 2000. A budget <br />amendment will be prepared for the September 19 Board meeting, for the purposes of <br />accepting the grants and completing the payment arrangements at the time of closing. <br />The Manager also recommends that the Board authorize ERCD and Recreation and Parks staff <br />to work with Durham County to develop a draft inter-local agreement for park management and <br />use, for the Board's review and decision on September 19 (prior to the October 31 closing). <br />
