(E) OLD BUSINESS (F) CONSENT (F -1) Active Living and Parks - Addendum to Fees and Charges Policy for the School Park Reservation Policy Active Living and Parks (ALP) has been working with Cabarrus County Schools on outdoor facility use by the community, reservation policies and systems over the last two years. School Administration and County Management met May 17, 2016 to discuss the ALP Department taking this process over and agreed to have the ALP Department in charge of outdoor facility reservations and fees for Bethel Elementary, Cox Mill Elementary, Harrisburg Elementary, Pitts School Road Elementary, Rocky River Elementary, and Winecoff Elementary Schools. Cox Mill Elementary School was used as a "Pilot" school for reservations last year with relatively few issues. ALP has a Maintenance Agreement with Cabarrus County Schools for the maintenance and upkeep of the school park sites. The agreement will remain in effect with the Schools maintaining the fields. Each respective School Park site will have signs with information on who needs to reserve the fields before using them, contact information and notice of penalty for violating the policy. The signs will go to the County Attorney for review prior to installation. Fees collected will go to general department revenues. The ALP Commission discussed this at their May 19, 2016 meeting and unanimously approved the recommendation. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Mynatt, seconded by Vice Chairman Honeycutt and unanimously carried, the Board approved the Addendum to the current Fees and Charges Policy as it relates to School Park Reservations. The requested addendum is as follows: Addendum to 2016 Active Living and Parks FEES and CHARGES Policy School Park reservations will be maintained by the Department through the on- line reservation system used by the Department.
