I. Budget Amendment #14
The Board considered approving the budget ordinance and capital project ordinance
amendments for fiscal year 2004-05.
Commissioner Gordon made reference to attachment one, which is a table of the
proposed 2004-05 Orange County Budget Ordinance amendments. She does not think the
County Commissioners have addressed #15 as a policy. Amendment # 15 is an action related
to the School/Park Capital Reserve Fund, and approval of this action would transfer accrued
interest earnings, which are not programmed for expenditure from the reserve fund to the
general fund.. She asked that this be removed from this action and be put on the capital work
session agenda.
John Link said that the intent is not to permanently remove funding, but to move the money into
the general fund balance prior to June 30th because it helps the fund balance picture at that
point. It will be returned in the fall
Rod Visser said that they are trying to solidify the fund balance as much as possible to
improve the financial position for the bond rating.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to
approve the budget ordinance and capital project ordinance amendments for the 15 items as
listed on the agenda abstract, with an added #16 (purple sheet).
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
o. Approve Updating the Master Aging Plan (M.A.P.) for Years 2006-2010
The Board considered approving the updated 5-year Master Aging Plan from 2006 to
2010 and the advertisement/recruitment of M.A.P. Task Force members.
Commissioner Jacobs thanked Advisory Board on Aging Chair Jack Chestnut for his
letter written to UNC. He asked Department on Aging Director Jerry Passmore to summarize
what UNC Hospitals is doing to services that were previously shared with the County.
Jerry Passmore said that this process has been going on for many years and UNC has
picked up the coordinating position and Orange County has not been contributing to this until
this year. UNC Hospitals is asking the County to put in for half of the position. They are still
committed to this program.
Commissioner Jacobs said that part of the thrust of the letter was that UNC has a
commitment for a wellness program for seniors.
Commissioner Jacobs said that this could be on the list of things that the County is
picking up funding where others are dropping it.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to
approve the updating of the Master Aging Plan for years 2006-2010 and beginning the
recruitment of M.A.P. Task Force Members.
VOTE: UNANIMOUS
g_ Petition for Addition of High Ridge Road and Rolling Meadow Drive to the NC
Secondary Road System
The Board considered a petition to add two subdivision roads, High Ridge Road and
Rolling Meadow Drive to the state-maintained Secondary Road System.
Commissioner Jacobs said that he wanted to pull this off so he could vote against it.
A motion was made by Chair Carey, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to approve
the request to add High Ridge Road and Rolling Meadow Drive to the State Secondary Road
System.
VOTE: Ayes, 4; No, 1 (Commissioner Jacobs)
