PURPOSE: To approve budget, grant project and capital project ordinance amendments for
fiscal year 2004 -05.
BACKGROUND:
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. At -Risk Case Management Services — these additional funds of $8,588 are the result
of a recent Federal time reporting cost settlement due to the department. The
department will use these funds to offset the costs of currently budgeted personnel
services. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See
Attachment 1, column #1)
b. Child Day Care Subsidies — these additional funds of $59,493 will be used to continue
to provide child -care subsidies to low- income families. These are funds available due
to reversions and from Child Care and Development Fund reallocations, as well as
State fiscal year 2003 -04 carry forwards. Currently, there are 1,076 children and their
2
families who benefit from this program in Orange County. This budget amendment
provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1)
2. The Department of Social Services has received the following donations from citizens that
are set -aside in a special Adoption Enhancement Fund:
a. Foster Care Donations — donated funds totaling $6,940 from citizens who helped
sponsor a foster care child during the holiday season. This budget amendment
provides for the receipt of these donated funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2)
b. General Assistance Donations — donated funds totaling $1,470 from citizens to assist
low- income families, who do not qualify for traditional programs, with holiday
expenses for children, relocation expenses, and expenses related to obtaining
driver's licenses and special Identification cards. This budget amendment provides for
the receipt of these donated funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2)
3. On December 14, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved an appropriation of
$50,000 from the Social Safety Net Reserve to the Department of Social Services. These
funds would be used to provide subsidies to families on the Department's day care waiting
list. This'budget amendment provides for the appropriation of $50,000 from the Social
Services Safety Net for day care subsidies. (See Attachment 1, column #3, and item #6
within this abstract)
It, is important to note that the approved budget for fiscal year 2004 -05 included $100,000 in
the Social Safety Net Reserve earmarked for day care subsidies. Following further analysis
later this fiscal year, the Social Services Board plans to update the Board of County
Commissioners and request the release of the remaining $50,000.
Department on Aging
4. The Department on Aging has received additional funds for the current fiscal year for the
following services:
a. Frail Elderly Program — donated funds totaling $2,000 to be used to off set costs
associated with assisting the at -risk older adults program. This budget amendment
provides for the receipt of these donated funds. (See Attachment 1, column #4)
b. Community Alternatives Program — unanticipated Medicaid reimbursements totaling
$2,500 for to purchase adaptive devices, such as reusable wheelchair ramps. This
budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1,
column #4)
c. Manley Estates —funds totaling $7,200 to reimburse the department for costs
associated with programs offered at Manley Estates. This budget amendment
provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #4)
5. The Department on Aging has either received and /or been notified of additional funds for the
current fiscal year related to the Senior Health Coordination (Wellness Program) Grant
Project for the following programs:
a. "Fit Feet" Clinic — funds received totaling $2,500 from participants in the "Fit Feet"
clinic program. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See
Attachment 3, Senior Health Coordination Grant Project Ordinance)
b. Blue Cross /Blue Shield Mini -Grant for "Fit Feet" — receipt of grant funds totaling
$5,700 between Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and the Friends of the
Chapel Hill Senior Center on behalf of the County's Fit Feet wellness program. This
program is a basic foot health care assessment program, where registered nurses
assess clients who are 55 years and over, and are at risk of health problems due to
untreated wounds, ulcers, or sores associated with the feet. No County match is
required for the receipt of this grant. This budget amendment provides for the receipt
of these grant funds. (See Attachment 3, Senior Health Coordination Grant Project
Ordinance)
c. Partners Medicaid Choice Walking Program — receipt of grant funds totaling $2,500
from Partners Choice for sponsorship in a Wellness Mall Walking Program. This is a
joint venture between University Mall in Chapel Hill, the Cop Shop — a division of the
community policing for the Chapel Hill Police Department located within the mall, and
the Wellness Program of Orange County. Funds will be used to develop a daily
walking program with incentives for walkers and a monthly healthy breakfast with a
health and wellness related speaker for ten different months a year. No County
match is required for the receipt of this grant. This budget amendment provides for
the receipt of these grant funds. (See Attachment 3, Senior Health Coordination
Grant Project Ordinance)
d. United Way funds — receipt of additional United Way funds totaling $8,730 awarded
through the Friends of the Chapel Hill Senior Center for the wellness program. This
budget amendment provides for the receipt of these additional funds. (See
Attachment 3, Senior Health Coordination Grant Project Ordinance)
Miscellaneous
6. 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, theree 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 2004 -05,
it is necessary for the Board to approve the attached amendment. (See Attachment 1,
column #6)
Environment and Resource Conservation
7. On December 14, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the acceptance of
an agricultural and watershed protection easement from John and Carolyn Lloyd, which will
4
be held jointly by Orange County and the Orange Water and Sewer Authority ( OWASA).
The cost of the easement purchase — to be split equally by Orange County and OWASA — is
$3,500 per acre, or an estimated $413,000. Including closing and other transaction costs,
the total Orange County share of the project cost is expected to be $219,000. The County's
share would come from the alternative financing for conservation easements approved by
the Board in FY 2002 -03 ($192,000), with the remainder coming from the Lands Legacy
Opportunities Fund ($27,000). This budget amendment provides for the appropriations for
the purchase of this easement. (See Attachment 4, Conservation Easements Capital
Project Ordinance, and Attachment 5, Lands Legacy Opportunities Capital Project
Ordinance)
Planning and Inspections Department
8. On December 14, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the selection of a
consultant to assess the feasibility of a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program for
Orange County. The Board approved an appropriation not to exceed $39,100 from the
County's fund balance to cover the cost of Phase 1 (Background Research and Data
Gathering), and Phase 2 (Feasibility Study). This budget amendment provides for the
appropriation of $39,100 from the County's fund balance. (See Attachment 1, column #8)
Emergency Management Department
9. On December 6, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the acceptance of a
federally funded, State pass - through grant totaling $9,500 to continue the Citizen Corps
Council and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs within the County.
There is no County match for the receipt of these funds. These funds will be used to
provide emergency preparedness information in three languages (English, Spanish, and a
third language yet to be determined), as well as pay for training materials and supplies in
support of the CERT program. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these
grant funds. (See Attachment 1, column #9)
10. On December 6, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the acceptance of a
State pass- through grant of Federal Homeland Security funds totaling $3,000 to reimburse
Orange County for the cost of an emergency services training exercise. The County had
received and utilized an earlier allotment of Homeland Security funds, while other counties in
North Carolina were unable to utilize all of their allotted exercise funding. Due to Orange
County's successful execution of these exercises, the North Carolina Division of Emergency
Management approached Emergency Management with the offer of additional exercise
funding of $3,000. There is no County match required for the receipt of these funds. This
budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See Attachment 1,
column #10)
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above.
