“How do, uh, How do you decide whether it's a mouth easement or not? Does the landowner request a certain one? Do you decide it? Does your board decide it? How does that decision made?”

“Thank you. Before we start the next subject, I'll get with you, but I actually got a voicemail early this morning from Hampstead Lions about Leicester Park and the pickleball there and them talking about wanting to coordinate. So I'll look at it, talk to him, but I'll throw it in your lap. OK. Thank you.”

“Yeah, and holler if you're going to cover it. So the Rec and Parks Advisory Board, they evaluate capital projects. They evaluate self-help projects. Self-help projects are funded all by us. And self-help is more money than us.”
Board of County Commissioners · Sep 3, 2026

“Oh, yeah. But it's no open space money. The open space money is all capital projects and acquiring property. And they do a five-year plan evaluating that or?”

“And then historically, and you mentioned it a little bit, they had a lot more duties. Some of the individual rec councils were supplementing the pay for some of them. The county was paying them, and some of the individual rec councils actually paid them something, too. And I don't think that's happening anymore. I don't believe that's happening anymore. Because you've beefed it up.”

“On the facilities, in the book, you list Panther Plaques under North Carolina Council. I don't think you have it on the slide.”

“And it's confusing. And unfortunately, they had it sold and that fell through. Actually, the group forfeited their deposit. They're ready to try to sell it again. But in theory, the agreement will be up before. Because I was worried, does that agreement pass to a new owner? and uh but that's yeah it's only half a year left it's probably not an issue and then uh you list uh leicester park which doesn't really have much facilities it's it's a park but it's more of a passive and pickle bell”

“Their original intention was to upgrade those fields. I'm hoping a new owner maybe wants to do that, but the current owner isn't interested in field use. People walk the track. And when Ron Schroers was there, they had some football games and all in a stadium, and he focused on a little more. Of course, he's been gone for a few years. So, yeah, it's private, but like you say, it was a past commissioner's put a...”

“The original joint use agreement, which was the facility use agreement in the old days, was based on the fact that the rec councils did a lot of improvements at the high schools and the middle schools and therefore that's why they got priority usage and hopefully it's still the same way north carroll high school well every school but man val north carroll rec council has probably rebuilt the fields our joke used to be when they did spring garden they do they do fields for phys ed And then we make them and we even talked to the school system about some. They put up backstops for our softball…”

“I think, can you comment a little bit? It used to be spreadsheets. It used to be, was the AD any good or not? But now it's electronic. So does that still have its problems or is it pretty clean, this electronic system?”

“that they did not want to have to do multiple calendars and and the high schools I'll hear from probably John O'Neill the high schools are poor schedulers period on any events and it's funny copper mine the old tennis place on on 42. that's their biggest headache is that the high schools don't schedule proper use they they've had games have to Stop in the third quarter because they didn't schedule enough, you know, and when I when I asked them copper mine, what's your biggest issue? And they said how the high school schedules, the the wreck, the others, they schedule pretty well. And again,…”

“Who does that scheduling? Does it all go through the community coordinator, or do individual programs get on that electronic system?”

“Baltimore County has... an office at most of the schools they have paid people Frederick County had paid people um that that would cost millions of dollars I think did uh did Linton Spring get a rec room it was supposed to yes they have a community they have a community down I think but that's probably the only one that has one”

“One last thing on the electronic system. I apologize. And then I've got questions at the end on communications. So I'm back. I'm the soccer coordinator. So I got a schedule through the community person, the Rec and Parks person. But I can look at the system. I just can't manipulate it. Correct. But I can look at it. If I want to see what's open or when I have it, I can look.”

“And I've got some questions about communications and on Liberty. Rec and Parks, I don't think, is involved with the building committee. CCPS will have a building committee that goes through curriculum needs, space needs, whatever. And I thought I've always said the county commissioners can find the worst school site possible in Carroll County and give it to the schools, and that was Man Val. That has one gym, and it's horrible. It has a wrestling room that's actually called a gymnastics room or something, and it's shared. It's horrible. How can we make sure you guys are represented on the…”
