Dallas sets public hearing for PART-F grant to fund park; council approves parking changes and committee appointments
Summary
Dallas aldermen set a Dec. 13 public hearing to apply for a PART-F recreation grant for a park behind Carr Elementary (estimated cost $91,961.50; town share $45,480.75); the board also unanimously approved evening parking restrictions on S. Oakland St. and confirmed appointments to a courthouse renovation advisory committee.
The Dallas Board of Aldermen on Nov. 15 set a public hearing for Dec. 13, 2011 to consider applying for a PART-F Recreation grant to fund a park behind Carr Elementary School.
Staff told the board the previously proposed project would start with a walking track and soccer field on town-owned land behind Carr Elementary. The total estimated project cost is $91,961.50; because the PART-F grant is a 50/50 match, the town’s share would be $45,480.75 if the project is pursued. The application deadline for the PART-F grant is Dec. 23, 2011. The board voted unanimously to schedule a public hearing on Dec. 13 at 6:00 p.m.
On a separate agenda item during citizen comments, the board approved a motion to restrict parking on S. Oakland Street during evening football practices. Alderman Martin moved that no parking be allowed on the west side of S. Oakland Street from Church Street southward and that the east side be designated for handicapped spaces except for one space reserved for the Rescue Squad; the motion passed unanimously. Staff was directed to prepare an ordinance documenting the change for the next meeting.
In old business, the board announced a special meeting for Thursday, Nov. 17, to interview four engineering firms that submitted proposals for the Water Distribution System project; staff will forward standard questions to the firms and each will be allotted about 30 minutes to present and answer questions. The board also appointed members to a citizens’ advisory committee for the courthouse renovation (appointments approved unanimously: Mary Anne Carpenter, Anna Pasour, Stacy Duff, Rebecca Rhyne, Nick Vlaservich and Frank Milton).
Separately, the board recognized North Gaston High School as one of the most improved high schools in the State and heard a manager’s report from Interim Town Manager Ed Munn before adjourning at 7:27 p.m.
