Agenda was reviewed by PARC members. The agenda is to include: Report of the
Directors from Orange County, Carrboro and Chapel Hill. Roundtable Topics that
include: Topic of Community Use of Schools which will be lead by Keith Bagby.
Marabeth Carr will send Keith information from the IPWG about the discussions they
have had concerning Community Use of Schools. Topic of Friends Groups will be
lead by Denise Dickenson. There was concern over discussing Friends Groups and
whether it is allowed by PARC. Chuck will check with Dave Stancil and Lori Taft to
confirm that it is an acceptable topic for the roundtables. Topic of Athletics Advocacy
will be lead by Chuck Hobgood. Topic of Health Link was discussed among
members. They could not recall who had requested it be a topic. The group would
like to eliminate one topic if possible. Chuck will talk with Lori about eliminating it
from the agenda. Topics of Community Outreach Programming and how to continue
services when budget cuts hit home were topics suggested by Carrboro. It was
suggested they lead the discussions for those topics. PARC members would like for
members to consider questions or specific information you would like to come from
the discussions. Please submit questions or concerns to Lori Taft by January 13,
2011. The group talked about having results from the recent Needs Assessment
Survey. The information could be helpful when preparing for the roundtable topics.
PARC was informed by staff that results were being put into Survey Monkey which
then will allow staff to generate report results. Staff will try to get out to PARC
members prior to joint meeting.
