Per Cramerton BOC 2022 Goals and Objectives along with ongoing discussions, the information below are initial guidelines for the committees discussion at the July 14, ( Committee discussion point #1 - Downtown events and programming: With the expanded parking and event space project in Cramerton's Downtown, the Board has expressed interest in a pseudo-Main Street Program committee set-up. Of note, the current Main Street Program run by NC has temporarily closed new  applications.  As significant element of the Main Street committees discussion is Cramerton's existing partnership with the Catawba Riverkeeper Foundation. As a general recap, Cramerton has entered into this partnership with the Riverkeeper by approving an annual $50,000 operating grant for the next four budget years, starting this FY 2022-2023. An excerpt Once [the Arts, Events and Recreation Center is] fully operational, it is our [the Riverkpeer] goal to provide programming in arts, music, and recreation on at least a monthly basis with programs that span from young children to older adults, fory young professionals to families of all ages, and catering to residents and visitors alike. As with all parks and rec programming, residents of Cramerton will receive discounted access to all CRAMR Center programming and we will partner with Cramerton Parks and Rec to ensure programs are being marketed to residents in as many ways as possible. When discussing the future of committees for the Cramerton Downtown, staff recommends considering the significant programming elements the Town is already funding and will be receiving regarding the Catawba Riverkeeper operations grant. Committee discussion point #2 - Neighbors helping neighbors program: The neighbors helping neighbors program is currently administered by the Cramerton Community Committee. A current draft of the approved Community Committee by-laws  from the grant outlining how Cramerton will benefit is as follows:  isa attached for reference.  1551 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032  Phone: 704-824-4337  Fax: 704-824-8943    CHAPTER 33: DEPARTMENTS, BOARDS ORDINANCE FOR COMMUNITY  AND COMMISSIONS  COMMITTEE  PURPOSE  The Community Committee is a body of nine members, seven as voting members, two as alternate members as appointed by the Board of Commissioners (hereafter, BOC) to staggered three year terms as defined in the Membership" section below.
