<br />The total cost for these improvements to Frank Liske Park is estimated at <br />$535,000. The Miracle League of Concord has proposed to seek donations and <br />sponsorship funds from a variety of private and public sources. The Miracle League <br />supporters feel very strongly that financial support can be obtained from the community. <br /> <br />The Miracle League of Concord requested three items from Cabarrus County: <br /> <br />1. Donation of Land <br />2. To provide general maintenance and clean up of the areas <br />3. Cover electrical cost for the athletic lights <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Commission recommended: <br /> <br />1. Due to the lease agreement with the State of North Carolina to Cabarrus County, <br />a sub-lease agreement or donation of land cannot be provided to the Miracle <br />League. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Commission recommended that Cabarrus County prepare <br />a priority use agreement for the Miracle League for first priority use. This type of <br />agreement allows the Cabarrus Soccer Association and the City of Concord to <br />utilize the Soccer Complex. <br /> <br />2. Upon request by Miracle League, Parks and Recreation Commission agreed to <br />recommend that Cabarrus County provide basic general maintenance and clean <br />up of this facility; however, the Miracle League should complete any major <br />repairs and renovations/replacement. Examples asphalt repairs, color coating, <br />fencing, lights, etc. <br /> <br />3. Based on prior agreements with other non-profit organizations, the Parks and <br />Recreation Commission recommended that the Miracle League provide payment <br />for light utility expenses. <br /> <br />The Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously endorsed this <br />proposal and encouragep the Miracle League leaders to implement their <br />recommended goals for constructing this project at Frank Liske Park. With only <br />fifteen (15) Miracle League fields constructed in the United States, this proposed <br />facility will bring new visitors to Cabarrus County as well as serve the citizens of the <br />County. If the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners approves the Miracle <br />League of Concord proposal concept, an official agreement for priority use of Miracle <br />League will be prepared and presented to all parties. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your <br />consideration and revievlof this project. <br /> <br />P~J 7 <br /> <br />
