Department of Parks and Recreation P.O. Box 707 Concord, N.C. 280-'25 Phone 704-786-7411 William K. Cowon ~ Direc[or October 15, 1982 Charles D. NcGinnis County flanager Post Office Box 707 Concord, North Carolina 28025 Dear Hr. McGinnis: The Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission met in regular session on September 30, 1982. During this meeting the Commission past several resolutions recommemding action to you and the Cabarrus Board of Commissioners. The following is a summary of those resolutions past by the Recreation Commission. Resolution 1-The Recreation Commissioners voted unanimously to table the pursuit of land acquisition of the Re6d Mine Historic Site, proposed several months as a regional park site and a horse trail facility. The board felt that the initial cost of development was prohibited at this time in terms of priorities already established in 1980 by the adoption of Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation MasterPlan. Therefore, the Commission recommends that the Board of County Commissioners not pursue the land acquisition of this site at the current time. Resolution 2-The Recreation Commission approved a resolution to rescindaction taken in their August 26 meeting concerning the Recreation Department's Matching Grants Policy. As you may recall, the board voted to remove the $7,500 limit from the grants program, by ammending section D-3 of the grant policy. Since you found this unacceptable, the board would like to recommend the limit be increased from $7,500 to $15,000 per Grant Application per funding cycle. This is felt necessary because of the inflationary cost of the past several years that have increased the cost of construction in most of the areas where the grants apply.
