TO: Board of County Commissioners
Laura Blackmon, County Manager
FROM: Gwen Harvey, Assistant County Manager
RE: Outside Agency Grant Application Process - FY09-10
DATE: May 5, 2009
The following information is provided to the BOCC in response to questions raised
during the Budget Work Session on April 16, 2009 regarding the County Manager's
Recommendation on Outside Agency Allocations.
Human Services Advisory Commission (HSAC) Recommendations
• • HSAC members divided into teams of twos to review Outside Agency
Applications using the BOCC approved Scorecard Evaluation Form. A meeting
was held on March 17, 2009, facilitated by the School of Government, during
which HSAC:
• Designated 26 (out of 51 total) agencies they felt comprise a County "safety net"
to be given highest priority consideration in keeping with a statement from the
BOCC
• Reported the results of team evaluations of individual agency applications
• Reached a consensus on recommended allocations for FY09-10 (following
general discussion and debate) cognizant that the final decisions are reserved
solely for the BOCC as it enacts the new Budget
• Funding recommendations were derived as shown:
Safety Net Agencies -Full funding of requested amount (one exception)
Non-Safety Net Agencies scoring 90 and above -Full funding of requested
amount
Non-Safety Net Agencies scoring 64-89 - 10 % reduction in requested amount
Non-Safety Net Agencies scoring 65 and below - 25 % reduction in requested
• amount
• HSAC recommended not funding seven (7) outside agencies as they were deemed •
of lesser priority in a tight budget year and/or less critical to human services
delivery.
Piedmont Wildlife Center (PWC) and Hillsborough Youth Athletic Association
(HYAA) were not recommended for funding in FY08-09 or FY09-10 by HSAC.
Agency leadership presented oral progress reports to HSAC during their February
meeting. Ultimately HSAC held to the philosophical position the two agencies,
despite their good faith efforts in the current fiscal year, did not warrant County
financial support above agencies with more true human services missions.
A recommendation on the Community School for People Under 6 (CSPU6) application in
the amount of $100,000 was deferred pending confirmation of the timeline for their
relocation from Northside. Additionally the outside agency application process has
historically not been used to address capital requests.
Attachment A is the spreadsheet of HSAC recommendations totaling $1,145,971.
Attachment B is the Scorecard Evaluation Form and Narrative Criteria HSAC uses to
review agency applications.
Attachment C is information on PWC and HYAA from their February presentation to
HSAC.
Attachment D is e-mail correspondence re: CSPU6.
County Manager Recommendations •
The County Manager consulted with the Assistant County Manager and Budget Analyst
who work with HSAC in its review and rating process. The recommendations that
resulted came from a stricter interpretation of the "safety net" agencies and an
approximate 15 % reduction across the board in all agency requests.
Attachment A provides the Manager's Recommendations totaling $1,043,742.

SCORING CRITERIA NARRATIVE
Scoring Process
Members of the Human Services Advisory Commission (HSAC) will review and
assign a score for each Human Services Agency Funding Application. Member
scores for each evaluation category (Mission, Customers, Results, and Plan) will
be averaged to create a single score that when totaled will equal the raw score
for the Agency/Program application and form the basis for deliberations by the
full HSAC.
Deliberations
While the overall raw score is an important variable, it is not the ultimate
determinant of funding allocation recommendations. The overall score provides
a starting point for deliberations among the members of the Human Services
Advisory Commission. During deliberations, members can offer their unique
perspectives and practical insight based on areas of professional expertise and
community involvement. Deliberations will be grounded in candor, confidentiality,
and consensus building.
• Other deliberation factors may include:
• Considering how well an agency application aligns with Board of
Commissioner priorities for human services delivery
An objective of the Human Services Advisory Commission is to work more
closely with the BOCC and County Management in the coming year to
establish priority outcomes for the utilization of the annual human services
funding appropriation, similar within Orange County to that under
construction by the Triangle United Way. In December 2007, the Triangle
United Way unveiled The Community Profile as a tool for achieving
community change and impact within human services on a regional level.
• Considering how well an unmet need or target population has been
identified, along with innovative and credible means for addressing
• Funding a diverse range of organizations and services, and/or
organizations that target and serve a diverse constituency
• Balancing the need to build capacity for new organizations along side
more established organizations
• BOCC Approved 1 15 08

Gwen
Other than our telephone conversation, we have not received anything in writing or
had any conversation with the Chapel Hill/Carrboro Schools about delayed
construction plans. If it can be officially verified in writing to us, then we can plan
ahead. We will still be making the request for funding upon completion of my final
cost report within the next week. It will not be less than $100,000. We will still
have renovation, repairs, and transition cost at our new proposed site in Carrboro
that we have to complete in order to meet our needs. The delay allows us more time
to get the work done and to raise some more funds. Please advise.

-------------- Original message from "Gwen Harvey"
<gharvey@co.orange.nc.us>: --------------
Anna - We spoke over a week ago re: your outside agency grant request to
the County. As mentioned, my understanding is still that CSPU6 will not have
to relocate until the fall of 2010, not 2009. But I do want to make sure I
understand what this means to CSPU6 in the interim - Do you intend to revise
your application to request a reduced amount for certain expenses in the
upcoming "transitional" year, or will you be retracting your application
entirely? Pls let me know or give me a call since the County doesn't wish to
leave you hanging and we want to know what for sure to report to the BOCC
in the Manager's recommended budget. Thx plenty!

• Commissioner Jacobs said that the Board needs to discuss SAPFO and extraordinary
circumstances and extraordinary adjustments.
Chair Foushee agreed and said that this should be discussed before making any
decisions.
3. Appropriation Mandated, Funding Discretionary- Local Schoo! Districts-Current
Expense Funding
4. Appropriafion Mandated, Funding Discretionary- Loca! School Districts-
Recurring Capital Funding
Laura Blackmon said that she meets with the Superintendents and the school
collaboration group frequently and they all recognize the crisis the County is in. The schools are
looking at their budgets as well and where cuts might be made.
Superintendent Neil Pedersen said that CHCCS received the State's projections and
they were lower than the school system's projections because of the change in the entrance
age for kindergarten. There was a difference in projections of 120 students.
Commissioner Jacobs asked for information from OCS and George McFarley said that
the expectation is from 30-50 additional students.
Commissioner Jacobs made reference to the issue of making a choice of increasing per
pupil funding or maintaining the recurring capital funding, which was a topic of discussion when
this was on the agenda previously. He would be interested in getting a sense from the school
boards on the higher priority. This needs to be proposed in some formal way for future
discussion.
Donna Coffey said that if the recurring capital money is used, it is a one-time ftx. On the
lottery proceeds, that is a finite piece of money and is being used now for school capital
projects.
• The Board decided to defer a decision on this until there is more information and the
school boards have a chance to discuss how the decision impacts the schools' budgets.
Commissioner Pellisier said that it would be good for the two school boards to discuss
this and talk about the priorities.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that the schools should also be asked to look at a five-year
window, just like the County department heads.
A letter will be sent to both school boards from staff indicating that a discussion should
take place on these issues.
5. Appropriation Nof Mandated, Funding Discretionary- Fair Funding for Schools
Laura Blackmon said that the Fair Funding for School Health and Safety Resources for
FY 2008-09 is the equivalent of .77 cents on the FY 2008-09 ad valorem tax rate.
Donna Coffey said that there is a separate line item in the Health Department budget
that holds the schools harm{ess with one nurse per school. This is separate from the $988,000.
Commissioner Hemminger said that social workers, nurses, and SRO's need #o be Dept
in place in schools and the Board agreed.
6. Appr..opriafion:Hot Mandated, Contribufions to.Non-Profit Funding Discretionary.-. ,~
Commissioner Nelson said that he does not think that this should be reduced.
Commissioner Pelissier agreed because most of the contributions that the County makes
towards this, she would categorize in the safety net category.
Commissioner Gordon said that it would depend on how bad the budget situation gets.
She said that if the County is getting to the point of reducing its employees and an agency is 'not
providing the service in acost-effective way, then she would like to consider bringing the service
in-house. ~ -

,~ ~ Commissioner Jacobs thanked staff for the detailed analysis of outside agencies and he
~ agreed with the other two County Commissioners but also agrees with Commissioner Gordon.
Donna Coffey said that staff has told outside agencies to be on the alert.
Assistant County Manager~Gwen Harvey explained the application process for outside
agency funds. She reiterated that the outside agencies have been warned about the cuts.
Laura Blackmon asked the Board what amount of money it was planning on giving to
non-profits -the same as last year or lower.
Commissioner Gordon said that she does not want to give the impression that any of the
cuts will be put back. She said that she does not remember the Commissioners continuing the
Human Services Advisory Commission process whereby the HSAC made allocation
recommendations to the County Commissioners. She thought that staff was going to be doing
this.
Gwen Harvey said that the Human Services Advisory Committee has historically been
used and in 2008-09 the Board of County Commissioners explicitly empowered the HSAC to
review the applications and make some dollar assignments. In September, the Board said that
it was alright for HSAC to continue to use its evaluation tool to examine pertormance but not to
set the dollar allocation.
Commissioner Jacobs agreed with Commissioner Nelson and Commissioner Pelissier
that the Board should send a message that the allocation will stay the same as before. He said
that he remembers deciding that the advisory boards would not make financial decisions. He
said that he would like the HSAC to do the analysis and flag things of concern, with no fiscal
distribution.
Chair Foushee said that the fact that there is an application process allows for the
possibility of anon-profit that has not applied before to apply. She does not want this process to
exclude those agencies that might not have applied before. •
The Board agreed that the total amount would stay the same and' not necessarily the
allocations.
Commissioner Yuhasz said that he would want recommendations for fiscal amounts
from someone.
Commissioner Nelson said that he wants to stick with the dollar amount for this group.
Regarding the issue of which non-profits get the funds, he thinks that this discussion will need to
come later. He said that he wants the new groups to be considered as well as long as it is a
safety net service.
Commissioner Pelissier said that she would like to send out a general message that the
priority is for the safety net organizations.
Chair Foushee clarified that there was consensus on the dollar amount and the
message.
7. Appropriation Not Mandated, Funding Discretionary -Contributions to Towns for
Library and Recreation Services
Donna Coffey asked if the Board wanted to continue this. The library contribution is only
to Chapel Hill ($250,000) and the contribution to recreation services is to all Towns ($125,000).
Commissioner Gordon said that it would be counterproductive to cut these funds.
Commissioner Jacobs said that the Board has talked about engaging in conversations
with. the towns about library services. He suggested continuing with what is being done, but
express an interest in having conversations.
The Board agreed.
8. Funding Discretionary- Employee Compensation
