It is the recommendation of the Park ~pd Recreation Advisory Co~_~_ission'~-a~a~~cept-6d by the Bo~ of County Commi$$ioner~ alzd--pe~~B~oy ~661~-~,te sign the~ag~ to begin the execution process: - B. Master Site Plan: The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission ~eommends-that the Cabarrus Board of County Commissioners contract with the Firm of Gardner Gidley and Associ2tes to prepare a Master Site Plan for the leased Jackson Farm Parr property. It is also recommended that an additional aPnro~lzi~t.toz~]~_$3,200.O0 be a~ropriated by ~ssioner~er t~e cost ~T~he ~ite ce~nt of this cost ~ ~0% Federal Devel~opment Funds~_~e U. S. Department of ~nterior's Land ~nd Water Conservation The attached proposal and contract outlines the details of the Site Plan. Acceptance of this contract will' permit Mr. Gidley to begin the site planning immediately in order to meet the December 1st application deadline for application of federal park development funds. The additional appropriatio~ for the cost of the Site Plan is necessary for several reasons. First, the N. C. Council of State approved the proposed park development ~oncept on May 1, 1979, one month after the proposed 1979-80 FY budget had been presented to th6 County Manager. Second, after a thorough 'analysis of the approved 1979-80 Pa~k and Recreation Department's operating bud- get, it was dete!'mined that the study could not be financed through the Deparbnent's Budget unless the current level of pub- lic services are lowered substantially, and finally, the actual cost of the Study to Cabarrus County will b~only $1,600 since 50% of the cost will be recovered when federal grants are sub- mitted to the U. S Department of Interior. However, it would be in the next Fiscal Year before 50% of the Study's cost would be recovered by the County. 3.
