CABARRUS COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />NOVEMBER 16, 2009 <br />6:30 P.M. <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />New Business <br />SUBJECT: <br />Parks Department -Name Proposal for the New Park in Southeast <br />Cabarrus County <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />Rob and Donna Wallace, previous property owners of the 190 acre parcel <br />purchased by the County to build a new park in the southeastern part of <br />the County, have been instrumental in ensuring the County was able to <br />purchase this parcel to build a new County Park. Not only did they assist <br />with tours for the BOC and the Park Commission, they also worked <br />cooperatively with the Finance Department to ensure the County was able <br />to purchase the complete 190 acres and develop it by agreeing to a 30- <br />year payment plan. Without this option, the County would not have been <br />able to purchase and develop a park of this size. This new park will make <br />a measurable impact on the quality of life of the citizens not only in <br />southeast Cabarrus, but in all of Cabarrus County. <br />REQUESTED ACTION: <br />Consider a motion to name the new park in southeast Cabarrus County <br />the Rob Wallace Park. <br />EXPECTED LENGTH OF PRESENTATION: <br />5 Minutes <br />SUBMITTED BY: <br />Mike Downs, Deputy County Manager <br />BUDGET AMENDMENT REQUIRED: <br />G-6 Page 246 <br />
