Attachment 1. Budget as Amended Donna Dean, (919) 245-2151 Spreadsheet Attachment 2. Year-To-Date Budget Summary PURPOSE: To approve budget ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2005-06. BACKGROUND: Environment Resource and Conservation Department 1. At its October 3, 2005 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with the International Council of Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) of Toronto to conduct a joint greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions inventory and emissions reduction action plan. With this, the Board also approved an interlocal Memorandum of Agreement between the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro and Orange County regarding administration of the project. The total cost of the project is $45,000, and will be funded with $14,100 from grant funds received from the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization, and from cost-share funds from Chapel Hill ($12,731), Carrboro ($4,388), and Orange County ($13,781). These cost-share amounts from the towns and the County are based on proportional population as of the 2000 census. The County's share was included in the fiscal year 2004-05 approved budget, and will be included as part of the carry forwards into fiscal year 2005-06 to be presented to the Board in the an upcoming budget amendment. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of the grant funds, as well as the funds from the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro. (See Attachment 1, column #1) County-wide Departmental Budget Reductions 2. During its September 13, 2005 work session, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed staffs recommendations for budget reductions/savings and revenue enhancements in order to achieve a $500,000 operating budget reduction, along with a $300,000 reduction in the areas of Medicaid, health insurance and energy/utilities as included in the approved fiscal year 2005-06 Budget. The Board approved departmental budget reductions totaling $729,145 in the General Fund and reductions of $35,000 in the Revaluation Fund, with no reductions anticipated currently in expenditures in the areas of Medicaid, health insurance, and energy/utilities. Although not included in the work session materials, staff also 2 recommends reductions in the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund to correspond with reductions/savings that all General Fund departments experienced. These savings in the Enterprise Fund will not have any effect on the General Fund. In the approved fiscal year 2005-06 Budget, these General Fund savings were budgeted in the Governing & Management Non-Departmental section. This budget amendment provides for the transfer of funds from individual departments to the Non-Departmental section of the General Fund where the operational savings were budgeted, and reduces the Revaluation Fund and Solid Waste Enterprise Fund to reflect their budget reductions. (See Attachment 1, column #2) Non-Departmental 3. At its October 3, 2005 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the release of a one-time County supplemental appropriation in the amount of $57,468 from the Critical Needs Reserve to facilitate the divestiture and transfer of the Early Intervention and Family Services Program (EIFS) and KidScope from the OPC/LME to Chapel Hill Training and Outreach Project effective October 1, 2005. This budget amendment provides for the release of $57,468 from the Critical Needs Reserve for the above stated purpose. With this appropriation, $311,032 remains available in the Critical Needs Reserve for fiscal year 2005- 06. (See Attachment 1, column #3) 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. Attachment 1.
