14E2 16-1022 No Net Loss Policy for Ballfields
Recommended Action: Commissioner Matter for Discussion
Attachments: No Net Loss Policy for Ballfields
Commissioner Zorc suggested that an amendment be added to the County's
Comprehensive Plan to create a "no net loss" policy for ball fields that are
surplussed. He elaborated that the provision would require the County to establish
a comparable ball field for any County ball field which is sold or closed down.
Individual Board Members affirmed the Board's support for providing
recreational/sports opportunities for the community. They did not, however, favor
putting such a policy in the Comprehensive Plan.
Commissioner Zorc proposed dividing up the $1 million the County received from
the Windsor Land Swap, with $800,000 allocated for expansion of recreational
facilities, and $200,000 towards completing boardwalks and trails.
A motion was made by Commissioner Zorc, seconded by Commissioner Davis, to
allocate from the $1 million received from the County's land swap with Windsor
Properties, 80% or $800,000 for expansion of recreational facilities, and 20% or
$200,000 towards boardwalks and trails on existing projects.
Commissioner Davis stated that the "Windsor Million," was intended for active
recreational venues, not for conservation lands.
Discussion ensued, with input from County Administrator Jason Brown, regarding
what would be the definition for "active recreation" and the uses that the Windsor
revenues could be used for versus what bond dollars would be used for.
After further discussion, the Motion was withdrawn and Commissioner Zorc
announced that he would bring this matter back under Commissioner Matters.
