PURPOSE: To receive a presentation from Town of Chapel Hill officials on the Homestead
Park Aquatic Center Project, a joint venture of Orange County and the Town of Chapel Hill and
consider adoption of the conceptual plan.
BACKGROUND: In 1996, Town of Chapel Hill voters approved a $5,000,000 bond referendum
which, among other things, was to fund an aquatics center at Homestead Park. Approximately
$1,175,000 remains from that bond authorization. In November 1997, Orange County voters
authorized general obligation bonds for Parks. The Board of County Commissioners pledged
$1,000,000 from the Parks bond for Homestead Park. Of that amount, $855,000 remain that
could be used for the aquatic facility.
The Chapel Hill Town Council subsequently established a Homestead Park Aquatic/Community
Center Conceptual Plan Committee. The Council considered the Committee's report and held
a public forum on January 29, 2001. On March 5, 2001, the Town Council adopted a
conceptual plan for the facility. That concept plan is attached.
In November 2001, Orange County voters authorized general obligation bonds for Parks. The
Board of Orange County Commissioners pledged $3,500,000 from the Parks bond for the
Aquatic facility.
In the spring of 2003, the Town Council and the Board of County Commissioners agreed to a
process for developing projects using Orange County bond funds. The process is currently
being used on the Southern Community Park project.

On August 27, 2003, the Aquatic Center project planning committee met to begin the final
development process. At this meeting, it was decided to recommend Josh Gurlitz as the project
architect. The committee also agreed to invite the Carrboro Board of Aldermen to appoint a
representative to the committee.
Town of Chapel officials will provide a short presentation to the Board on recent events and
current status of planning for the Aquatic Center.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. The bond funds have already been committed for this project.
Orange County has no further financial commitment beyond the funding previously authorized.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive the information
and provide comments as desired. The Manager also recommends that the Board consider
approval of the conceptual plan with any stipulations the Board may wish to make.
