ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA:
f. Acceptance of Hazard Mitigation Grant Project Funds - Emergency Generators
The Board considered accepting grant funding and approving a memorandum of
agreement, subject to final review by staff and the County Attorney for a State pass-through
competitive grant of federal Hazard Mitigation funds to reimburse the County for new
generators to be placed at the County's Emergency Operations Center and at the emergency
radio communications tower on Eno Mountain and authorizing the Chair and Manager to sign
the appropriate documents.
Chair Jacobs said that he wanted to encourage the Energy Conservation Board to look at
trying to find alternatives to continue to buy generators for emergency situations. He said that
they had once brought up the possibility of Orange County purchasing green power and he
would like to look at this again. This would be a way to support alternative energy efforts.
A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to accept grant
funding and approve a memorandum of agreement, subject to final review by staff and the
County Attorney, for a State pass-through competitive grant of federal Hazard Mitigation funds
to reimburse the County for new generators to be placed at the County's Emergency
Operations Center and at the emergency radio communications tower on Eno Mountain and
authorize the Chair and Manager to sign the appropriate documents
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
i. Budget Amendment #10
The Board considered approving budget ordinance and grant project ordinance
amendments for fiscal year 2005-06.
Commissioner Carey pointed out that the acceptance of $43,000 of Community Health
Center continuation grant funds states in the last sentence that this is a one-time grant and
when it runs out, the services have to be cut. He said that this is not the way to provide
healthcare or expand health services. He said that they should accept the money, but he does
not think that they should increase the number of days that care is provided and then cut back
after the money runs out. He said that this is not good policy. He said that he would bring this
to the attention of the Board of Health.
A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to
approve the attached budget ordinance and grant project ordinance amendments, with
concerns as stafed above, for Health Department, Department of Social Services, Arts
Commission, Housing and Community Development, and Recreation and Parks Department.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
