Chairman White stated he is a member of the Cabarrus Rotary Club and this initiative has been presented to them, but not voted on. In response to questions concerning maintenance, Mr. Hermans reported the County would be asked to maintain the park and the WSACC (Water and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County) would be asked to maintain the fountain. He further reported on the Club's intent to build a very low - maintenance park. A general discussion ensued. Issues addressed included the following: Concord's concern about the homeless population, limitations to the property, possible opposition from the downtown community, liability issues, etc. Several members expressed support for the project moving forward, pending zoning approval from the City of Concord and support of the downtown community. Chairman White recommended: the project be fully funded before construction begins; the maintenance request to the County should be solidified; the Rotary should contact the Piedmont Farmers' Market concerning capacity; and, to keep in touch with the downtown community.
