RECREATION DEPARTMENT - MATCHING FUNDS CRITERIA: Mr. Rudy Davis, recreation director,
explained the matching grant program guidelines. These are non-profit organizations, PTA's, booster
clubs, etc., in Iredell County that wish to raise money to improve and build new recreation
facilities on public property. With the county matching the amounts raised by the communities, over
$300,000 worth of recreation improvements have been made since the implementation of this program.
The recreation advisory committee voted to change the guidelines to allow the communities to
spend some of the funds on maintenance. The recreation advisory committee is recommending an
inclusion of $1250 to be used by these non-profit agencies, booster clubs, and PTA's, to help
maintain the recreation facilities. This would be on the same 50% matching basis as the
capital projects have been in the past, which represents $625 in matching
funds.
Commissioner Mills and Rudy Davis, recreation director, explained this saying that an agency
could apply for an amount up to $2,500 total for a matching grant project, but only $1250 of that
total can be used for maintenance.
MOTION from Commissioner Murdock to approve the changes in the guidelines.
VOTING: Ayes - 5; Nays - 0.
