<br /> <br />September 30,2005 <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />Mr. John Day, Cabarrus County Manager <br />Mr. Mike Downs, Cabarrus County Deputy Manager <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Little, Director <br />Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Recommended Cabarrus County Matching Incentive Parks and <br />Recreation Grant Requests for Fiscal Year 2005-2006 <br /> <br />The purpose of the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Matching Incentive Grants <br />program is to provide seed money for civic and community groups to construct, <br />improve, or acquire recreational and park facilities in Cabarrus County. Examples of <br />groups that are eligible to apply for funds are: PTO's, Civic Clubs, Athletic or <br />Recreation Associations and Booster Clubs. All improvements must be located on <br />public property owned by Cabarrus County, the Board(s) of Education, a municipality <br />within the county or property leased to the county or municipality for a minimum of <br />fifteen years. The grant provides up to 50% of the actual project cost based on the <br />amount approved by the Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners. The project must <br />be open to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis upon completion. <br /> <br />In August, the Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Commission received requests <br />from six (6) non-profit community groups totaling $78,186.00 in grant funds. With the <br />removal of sales tax ($1,683) from a playground project at Cox Mill School and <br />reduction of $1,503 to FC Carolina Alliance for installing soccer lights at Frank Liske <br />Park Soccer Complex; the Parks and Recreation Commission recommended awarding <br />$75,000 for six community projects for this fiscal year 2005-2006. Attached is a <br />summary of these recommended projects. There is $75,000 allocated by the Cabarrus <br />County Board of Commissioners for this program in FY 2005-2006. <br /> <br />If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for <br />your support. <br /> <br />F-{O <br />
