Attachment 2. Year-To-Date Budget
Summary
PURPOSE: To approve budget ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2006-07.
BACKGROUND:
Department of Social Services
1. Various agencies and citizens donate monies during the year to provide funds for the
Department of Social Services (DSS) to assist clients with special needs including foster
care children. Since July 1, 2006, DSS has received the following donations:
• Foster Care Donations -donated funds totaling $22,990 from citizens, through
Triangle Community Foundation, to help send foster care children to summer camp.
This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these donated funds.
• General Assistance Donations -donated funds totaling $300 from citizens to help
with special needs of clients. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of
these donated funds.
This amendment sets these donations aside in the Department's special Adoption
Enhancement Fund (outside the General Fund) (see Attachment 1, column #1).
2. The Department of Social Services has received notification from the JobLink Regional
Partnership Local Area of JobLink Enhancement funds totaling $4,867. These funds will be
used for JobLink programs at the County's Skills Development Center. There is no required
County match for the receipt of these funds. This budget amendment provides for the
receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column # 2)
Arts Commission
3. The North Carolina Arts Council .has awarded the Orange County Arts Commission a one-
- time increase in Grassroots Arts Program funding of $13,310 bringing the County's state
arts grant total to $36,461 for fiscal year 2006-07. The Arts Commission plans to use these
funds for Orange County Arts Commission programs and as grants to local artists. This
budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds from the North Carolina Arts
Council to be used for the above stated purposes. (See Attachment 1, column #3)
Health Department
4. The Health Department has received notification from the N.C. Department of Health and
Human Services of the receipt of $14,240 Pandemic Influenza Supplemental funds for fiscal
year 2006-07. The Department plans to combine these funds with the unexpended
supplemental funds totaling $12,175 from fiscal year 2005-06 to complete a local pandemic
influenza self assessment.
The Department plans to use these funds, totaling $26,415, to purchase personal protective
equipment, such as gloves, gowns, masks, and vests, for staff and volunteers to use in the
event of an outbreak/mass dispensing or other event. In addition, the Department plans to
purchase headsets for radiophones and medical bags to carry supplies.. This budget
amendment provides for the receipt of these funds and re-budgets unexpended funds from
fiscal year 2005-06 for the above stated purposes. (See Attachment 1, column #4)
5. The action requested in this item is an amendment to the County Fee Schedule to add
Environmental Health fees, approved by the Board of Health this past spring, outlined in the
chart below to the County's 2006-07 Fee Schedule.
During the budget planning process this past spring, the Board of Health approved new fees
for the Environmental Health division. The revenue generated by these fees was included in
revenue projections for fiscal. year 2006-07; however, the 2006-07 County Fee Schedule
approved by the Board inadvertently did not include those new fees. The chart below
outlines the new fees approved by the Board of Health:
Descri tion Current Fee Pro osed Fee Last Revision
$350 + $75 per 600 Fee increases by 50%

As indicated earlier, the current year budget anticipated revenues generated by these fees;
therefore, there is no budgetary impact for fiscal year 2006-07.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners
approve the attached budget ordinance amendments.

cc. Budget Amendment #1
The Board considered approving budget ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2006-07.
Commissioner Carey asked, about the proposed changes in fees for non-domestic
wastewater improvement permits. He asked what the 50°k meant because there is no figure:.
Health Director Rosemary Summers said that she does not have the figures with her and
it was inadvertently left off of the budget package. The fee is for commercial establishments.
She will provide the figures at a later time. The-fee for domestic water ystems is $360; and this:
would be a little bit more than $400.
Commissioner Carey asked for an example in writing at a later date because. he does.
not understand the figures. Commissioner Halkiotis also asked foran example of what a non-
domestic wastewater operation would be.
Commissioner Gordon asked Rosemary Summers about plans to use funds from the
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Servicesfor personal. protective equipment
and who will get his protective gear. Rosemary Summers-said that in part they have this
planned out, but the situation willdictate usage. She said-that the first line health care workers
would be issued'the egaipmentfirst, and then. maybe to volunteers-:and others°staffing particular
clinics that are dealing with infectious individuals. They are also ordering and. beefing up the N-
95 respirators; which is a higher level of protective gear for infectious diseases..
Commissioner Gordon asked about a plan for a pandemic and. Rosemary Summers said:
that they have started this process and are working with various departments to get them to
think about their-own planning.
Commissioner Gordon asked forsomething in writing in the next couple of weeks
outlining how theywill proceed with a pandemic plan.

pandemics, they need #o.be talking about teleconferencing and keeping County government
going; if necessary via computer.
