Smart Start Program Grant Project Ordinance 040-- a00 - -6d -'7 Action Agenda Item No. PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Dean 245 -2151 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732 -8181 Chapel Hill 968 -4501 Durham 688 -7331 Mebane 336- 227 -2031 PURPOSE: To approve budget, grant project and capital project ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2004 -05. BACKGROUND: Library Services 1. The Orange County Library has received notification from the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources of additional State Aid funds totaling $1,556 for this fiscal year. These additional funds bring the current budget for State Aid revenue to $121,391. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1) 2. The Orange County Library has received a donation from the Sprint Corporation totaling $3,000 for this fiscal year. These funds will be used for children's programming and the purchase of children's books. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these donated funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2) Department on Aging 3. The Community Based Services division within the Department on Aging has received notification of additional State Senior Center General Purpose funds totaling $17,736 for this fiscal year. These funds will be used to support senior center operations and to purchase much - needed supplies and equipment for the Central Orange, Chapel Hill, and Northside Senior Centers. The required 25% local match is currently budgeted in the department's fiscal year 2004 -05 budget. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these additional funds. (See Attachment 1, column #3) CHCCS High School #3 4. In November 2000, the Board of Commissioners approved a "Policy on Planning and Funding School Capital Projects" that identifies two levels of school construction projects. Of those, Level 2 projects (such as High School #3) are major projects that require several phases to complete. For these projects, the Commissioners approve project funding in four phases: • Concept/Pre- Planning Phase — includes preliminary programming and design work that would result in conceptual drawings and preliminary cost estimates. • Planning Phase — includes siting the facility, construction of infrastructure, and preparation of construction documents in preparation for bidding process. • Design and Construction Phase — includes final design, facility construction and purchase of equipment, furnishings, technology, and one -time start up items. • Final Accounting Phase — provides a reconciliation of actual project expenditures with approved budget. To date, the Commissioners appropriated a total of $5,272,523 for CHCCS High School #3. Site acquisition accounts for $3,677,700, mobile classrooms for $491,823, and professional fees for $1,103,000. Recently CHCCS requested that the Commissioners appropriate an additional $1,100,000 in order for the district to have available funds to pay professional fees related to the new school. The additional $1,100,000 is within the current total project amount agreed to by the BOCC and Board of Education — it does not represent an increase in the approved overall project budget. This attached capital project ordinance appropriates funds for this purpose. (See Attachment 3, CHCCS High School #3 Capital Project Ordinance) Health Department 5. On February 1, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners approved the acceptance of Smart Start funds from the Orange County Partnership for Young Children for a Child Health Care Consultant Project, and authorized a new Permanent Full -Time Public Health Nurse 11 position effective February 1, 2005, subject to the continuation of non - County funds. The award for the remainder of fiscal year 2004 -05 is $23,570, with anticipated funds (subject to State budget allocations) of $55,000 for fiscal.year 2005 -06. These amounts are adequate to cover the salary and benefits of a Public Health Nurse 11 position as well as travel and operational costs. The project provides Child Health Care consultant services to the 120 licensed childcare centers and homes in Orange County. The public Health Nurse will make available to child care providers a range of services from policy assistance related to health and safety issues to linking staff, families, and children to community health resources. The nurse will also address health and safety issues, review emergency care plans, offer technical assistance as needed relating to learning about diagnoses, as well as teach specific skills needed when serving children with special medical needs. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of $23,570 for fiscal year 2004 -05 from the Orange County Partnership for Young Children. (See Attachment 4, Smart Start Program Grant Project Ordinance) 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, grant project ordinance, and capital project ordinance amendments.
