This line item would be similar to Mount Holly's grant amount of $5,000.00. Mr. Leazer stated that was correct and the CHS would continue fundraising.

January 25th Goals and Objectives meeting, staff has put together information regarding the Cramerton Central Park Capital Project including: Attached in one large document is the following: 1. The approved Capital Project Ordinance for Central Park. highlighted in green is specific to Central Park. 2. The proposed budget for the improvements originally proposed as a Tier 2 Capital Request during the FY: 2019-20 budget request. Located on page two and three, 3. Minutes from the May 2nd, 2019 meeting at which the Capital Project Ordinance was approved. Highlighted in green are areas in which the restrooms were discussed. After going back and re-reading the minutes, the area in between the two green highlighted sections is where the bike skills portion was discussed and ultimately removed from the Capital Project Ordinance. 4. Ageneral scope of work for the bathrooms. 5. Adetailed scope of work for the bathrooms from MJC Renovations. 6. Pictures detailing the current condition of the bathrooms. Clarification regarding the Central Park bathrooms Initially, the bathrooms were not included as part of the capital project budget. However, based on the Cramerton BOC's desire for the bathrooms to be upgraded to working condition, staff has been able to work the bathrooms into the project. Currently, MJC Renovations is the only contractor to quote the project, but staff is waiting on a quote from SouthSide, Inc. in the next two weeks. Once multiple quotes are realized, staff will bring to the BOC for approval consideration. As can be seen by the pictures and the quoting list attached to this memo, the price for the bathrooms is high due to the need for a complete renovation (compared toif only at few minor elements -i i.e. painting - were needed). Parks & Rec. staff reports that the last time anyone can remember the restrooms working was the early 2000's. Recommendationts) Regarding the LWCF Grant, Director Eric Smallwood recommends the following: To perform the Central Park Capital Project (which would be to include the bathrooms and the "flex space" will bej just an open green/grass area). Next year (byJuly 2021) apply for the LWCF Grant for upgrades tot the "green flex: space" that could include a skills area or art.

Director Eric Smallwood's recommendation: Use the current, approved Capital Project Ordinance to bring us up to compliance which includes- - constructing the enhanced natural surface walking trails, the single track mountain bike trails, renovating the existing restrooms, regrading the upper gulley, and improving the 11th Street Parking Lot by restriping, patching, and installing signage The enhanced natural surface walking trails and the single track mountain bike trails should be enough of a "swap" for the old tennis court to bring the park into compliance int that regard. The enhanced natural surface walking trails were part of the original grant application however, our scope would increase the amount and distance greatly. The single track mountain bike trails would be an entirely new amenity from Renovating the restroom and having them in working condition will need to be complete in order to bring us into compliance. After reading thru the original grant application and project narrative from 1986, the restrooms were mentioned as part of the park and although they were already existing at the time, by LWCF regulations- once any park is renovated in any capacity using LWCF funds the entire park and any contiguous property becomes inj perpetuity an LWCF park and must meet all federal Once the improvements above are complete with any additional remaining funds we install and/or construct the bike skills area and/or public art expression area. This will only further strengthen our case for compliance in the "amenity for amenity swap" area. Apply for a LWCF grant for the 2021 funding cycle. At that time we should know more directing people to Central Park. the original park and grant application. standards. and have a strong case due tot the following: Current renovations will be complete and the park will have been in compliance Ifwe are able to install a "sample or more" of either amenity, we will be able to gauge the desire for the amenity from the citizens and apply for a grant to install We will have a stronger case for the grant due to having an updated Parks and This will also leave time for the possibility of an 8th Avenue Property to come available for purchase to use as a parking lot for the park that we may be able to include in the grant application as part of the request for funding. for roughly a year. the "Cadillac version."

Downtown Parking Lot, placeholder cost: approximately $225,000. Attached to this memo is the Finance Officer's initial findings on loan quotes with several options of borrowing funds from 7 years to 20 years. Staff Observation(s) Cramerton currently receives approximately $126,000 in (restricted) Powell Bill Funds from the State of NC. If Cramerton were to enter into al loan of $2 million over 20 years, it would basically "lock-in" Cramerton's current Powell Bill Fund amount for that period of 20 years. It should be noted that with the expected population increase, Cramerton's Powell Bill Funds will also increase. However, the formula for Powell Bill disbursement is controlled by the State of NC, sO future amounts beyond what is currently received can be difficult to predict multiple IfCramerton did enter into this scenario of "$2 million for 20 years", road and sidewalk improvements in other Town areas would either need to be taken from the General Fund (not best practice for Town owned roads) OR examine additional sources of funding for future large years out. scale road projects. 155 North Main St., Cramerton, North Carolina 28032 Phone: 704-824-4337 Fax: 704-824-8943 43 44 Town of Cramerton Paving Improvements 2021 Paving Budget Complete street milling with overlay 11 1/2"; patching and repairs Timberlake Subdivision Prepared by: LaBella Associates Length =1 15,357 ft(2.91 miles) Item Spec.
