The Commission developed its prioritized ranking order based upon reported urgency, anticipated use, significance and benefit to the public and special opportunities available for acquisition and management. See Appendix 2 for detailed descriptions and maps of these prioritized properties. Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists and Acquisitions Past prioritized lists were compiled in the Status of Properties on Past Prioritized Lists from 2006 -2010 (see Appendix 4). The Commission recommends that properties from previous prioritized lists should continue to be pursued as far as possible unless: the County has already acquired the property; there are insufficient funds available for acquisition; or the County Council has not passed a resolution that would allow the property to be acquired. For the first time the Commission is including an Acquisition Status Report that provides funding sources used for acquisition (see Appendix 5). Comprehensive List of Properties Submitted by the Public The Comprehensive List (see Appendix 6) is a sequential listing by tax map key of all properties submitted by the public since 2006.
