State Homeland Security Grant Project Ordinance Attachment 5 EMS Grants Inventory PURPOSE: To approve budget ordinance and grant project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2005 -06. BACKGROUND: Department of Social Services 1. The Department of Social Services has received notification from the State of additional funds for the current fiscal year for the following programs: a. Child Day Care Subsidies — these additional funds of $100,675 will be used to continue to provide childcare subsidies to low- income families. Currently, there are 690 children and their families who benefit from this program. An additional 100 are on the waiting list. These additional funds bring the current budget for this program to $3,777,641 for fiscal year 2005 -06. b. LINKS Program — these additional funds of $1,600 will be used for the department's independent living program. This program allows the department to offer training to foster care youth regarding job preparation, daily living skills, and money management. These additional funds bring the current budget for this program to $32,075 for fiscal year 2005 -06. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these State funds for the above stated purposes. (See Attachment 1, column #1) 0 . �1 2 Department on Aging 2. The Department on Aging has received additional Home and Community Care Block grant funds totaling $2,970 from the North Carolina Division on Aging. The Department plans to use the funds to purchase glucose and cholesterol- screening services at the three senior centers in the County, as well as to purchase locked file cabinets to hold confidential wellness program records and equipment for the wellness area to be located in the new Southern Orange Senior Center. The local match of $628 is currently budgeted in the Community Based Services division of the Department on Aging. These additional funds bring the current budget for this program to $5,653 for FY 2005 -06. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these additional funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2) Miscellaneous 3. On June 30 of each year, certain designated appropriations are not fully expended. Many of these relate to outstanding purchase orders where goods and services have been ordered but not yet received and /or paid. In accordance with the annual budget ordinance, funds for these outstanding purchase orders are automatically re- appropriated in the new fiscal year's budget. On the other hand, there are instances where approved funding for certain initiatives is not fully expended at the end of the fiscal year. Funds for these planned, but unencumbered expenditures, must be re- appropriated from the County's fund balance. An example of this includes unexpended monies from the Social Safety Net totaling $150,952. In order to carry these funds forward and authorize their expenditure in fiscal year 2005 -06, it is necessary for the Board to approve the attached amendment. (See Attachment 1, column #3) Library Services 4. The Orange County Library has received notification from the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources of additional reallocated State Aid funds totaling $1,206 for this fiscal year. These additional funds bring the current budget for State Aid revenue to $122,597. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these additional funds. (See Attachment 1, column #4) Emergency Management 5. On March 15, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners approved the endorsement of the County's hosting of a statewide conference for Citizen Corps Councils (CCC) and related volunteer programs. The Governor's Office has awarded grant funds to the County totaling $62,000 to. offset all costs of hosting the event. Preliminary estimates project that 250 individuals from across the state will attend the conference this spring. Sufficient slots are available to permit conference attendance by a number of representatives of local agencies. County staff have worked with Chamber of Commerce staff to compile materials that will be provided to conference participants in support of the Shop Orange initiative. This budget amendment provides for receipt of the grant funds for the above stated purpose. (See Attachment 3, Citizen Corps Council Grant Project Ordinance and Attachment 5, EMS Grants Inventory) 6. On April 12, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners approved the receipt of $54,000 in Federal Homeland Security funds. These grant funds will cover Orange County's costs of preliminary analysis and consulting services related to the planned upgrades to the County's communications system. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of $54,000 in grant funds. (See Attachment 4, State Homeland Security Grant Project Ordinance and Attachment 5, EMS Grants Inventory) FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above.
