BACKGROUND: The County has developed new facilities and parks over the past several years as part of its initiative for providing adequate and effective facilities for County services and operations. The following facilities have been developed and put into operation since 2007: Robert and Pearl Seymour Center — Chapel Hill Cedar Grove Park — Hillsborough Twin Creeks Greenway — Chapel Hill Fairview Park — Hillsborough Solid Waste Operations Center — Chapel Hill Central Orange Senior Center — Hillsborough Orange County SportsPlex Renovations — Hillsborough Gateway Center — Hillsborough Emergency Services Operations Center — Hillsborough Orange County Justice Facility Expansion — Hillsborough Animal Services Facility — Chapel Hill Department of Social Services — Hillsborough West Campus Office Building — Hillsborough Orange County Library — Hillsborough Walnut Grove Church Road Convenience Center — Cedar Grove Currently, these facilities are not marked with a commemorative plaque dedicating its use. There are several facilities developed in the past that carry these commemorative markers, such as the Richard E. Whitted facility and the Link Government Services Center. In addition, there is no County policy governing the installation of commemorative plaques within developed County facilities. 2 It is proposed that a single commemorative plaque similar to the one at the Link Center (see attached photograph) be installed at the facilities listed above. It should be noted that all plaques would denote "Chair" and "Vice Chair" as appropriate. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The estimated cost for a single interior commemorative plaque installed similar to the one installed within the Link Center ranges from $1,300 to $1,500. The estimated cost for fifteen plaques installed at the facilities listed above is between $19,500 to $22,500. Plaques for future facilities would be funded within the individual capital project budget. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Board Chair recommends the Board of Commissioners approve the installation of commemorative plaques in recently constructed facilities, with funding of up to $22,500 from currently available funds within the Asset Management Services General Fund FY 2013 -14 budget to cover the costs.
