The County would continue to fund the operation, but the five <br /> County staff would become employees of the Cabarrus County Schools. The <br /> Schools would then become responsible for maintaining County grounds. <br /> <br />Insufficient Office Space for Planninq Services and Development Services <br />· Move the Planning Services Department to the area currently occupied by the <br /> Parks and Recreation Department (some renovation will be required). <br />· Expand Development Services into the area currently occupied by Planning <br /> Services (no renovation required). <br />· Move the Parks and Recreation Department to the vacant space in the County- <br /> owned Economic Development Corporation (EDC) building on a temporary basis. <br /> <br />Re-evaluate the Mission of the Parks and Recreation Department <br /> <br />· Explore opportunities for service consolidation with <br /> <br /> the County's <br />municipalities and non-profit organizations. <br />Develop, with the Board of Commissioners, a clear mission for the Parks and <br />Recreation Department. <br />Explore alternative long-term locations for Parks and Recreation <br />administration that are consistent with its mission. Possibilities include <br />Frank Liske Park and the property to be purchased on Highway 49 for <br />agricultural exhibitions and other County-directed events. <br /> <br />Specifically, Mr. Day asked that the Board take the following action: <br /> <br />1. Authorize the relocation of Parks and Recreation to the vacant space at <br /> the EDC building and allocate a maximum of $10,000.00 for remodeling <br /> (inclusive of telephone and computer cabling). <br />2. Authorize the Planning staff to prepare a modest remodeling plan for the <br /> Planning Services space (the former Parks and Recreation space). <br />3. At the upcoming Commissioners' retreat, discuss in detail, and formulate <br /> direction for the County's Park and Recreation Department. <br />4. Authorize the County Manager and staff to develop an agreement/contract <br /> with Cabarrus County Schools for the transfer of the County's Property <br /> Maintenance Division to Cabarrus County Schools. Cabarrus Schools would <br /> provide grounds maintenance for the County at the same level of service <br /> currently provided by County's Property Maintenance Division and at the <br /> same cost. <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Privette, seconded by Commissioner Casper and <br />unanimously carried, the Board approved the proposed action as requested by Mr. <br />Day (see above) to address grounds maintenance, office space needs and Parks <br />and Recreation Department mission. <br /> <br />Resolution Declarinq Old UHF Radios as Surplus Property and Authorizing <br />Donation to the Cabarrus County Schools <br /> <br /> UPON MOTION of Commissioner Casper, seconded by Commissioner Privette <br />and unanimously carried, the Board adopted the following Resolution. <br /> <br /> <br />
