OLD BUSINESS a) Parks, Recreation and Open Space Comprehensive Plan (PROS plan) Matt noted the parks tour with, Clayton and Greg to 15 parks on September 17th, taking photos and surveying needs for the PROS plan. Arvilla discussed her four chapters of handouts, noting that this plan is a part of the County Comp. Plan. Some corrections were noted by Board members, and it was suggested by the Chair that corrections should be directed to Matt, and he will pass on to Arvilla. Arvilla welcomes all input. Mike sees many citizens going to Lake Leland, then turning around, and is concerned that keeping the campground closed is costing the County money. He suggested opening it for tent camping, Matt noted that he walked through it just yesterday, and it is in poor shape. Clayton mentioned that if there was electricity and water there, then a Camp Host could reside there. The next step is Matt will email Chapters one through seven to the Board for feedback in November. In December, the JCPRAB will have the option of approving the final. 4.
