C. Department of Insurance for the successful completion of the SHIIP basic training program. Staff will use funds to implement the Master Aging Plan 2012- 2017 updates. 2 • Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) — individual and business donations, totaling $5,000, for the annual RSVP recognition event, at the Seymour Center. • Class Fees — based on current year collections, the department anticipates $30,000 in additional class fees, which will fund contract instructors and related costs, at both senior centers. • Sponsorship Funds — advertising revenue totaling $5,000 for the spring 2013 edition of the Aging Transitions Community Resource Guide. • Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program — receipt of $7,633 from the Internal Revenue Service for the VITA program, which provides free tax services for low-to-moderate-income residents who cannot prepare their own tax returns. Funds will procure program supplies, technology equipment, and volunteer mileage reimbursements. If necessary, staff can reallocate technology funds for additional nonpermanent staff at tax preparation sites. 2. Based on current year collections, the department anticipates an additional $36,000 in class fees related to the Wellness Grant Program. The department will use these funds to offset costs of wellness and fitness course instructors and program supplies. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these revenues and amends the current Senior Citizen Health Promotion Grant Project Ordinance as follows: Senior Citizen Health Promotion Wellness Grant($36,000) -Project#294303 Revenues for this project: Current FY 2012-13 FY 2012-13 FY 2012-13 Amendment Revised Senior Citizen Wellness Funds $104,604 $36,000 $140,604 Total Project Funding $104,604 $36,000 $140,604 A ppropriated for this project: Current FY FY 2012-13 FY 2012-13 2012-13 Amendment Revised Senior Citizen Wellness Grant $104,604 $36,000 $140,604 Total Costs $104,6041 $36,000 $140,604 This budget amendment provides for the receipt of the aforementioned funds.

At its June 5, 2012 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the recommendation from the Emergency Services Workgroup to have a Needs Assessment conducted for the VIPER (Voice Interoperability Plan for Emergency Responders) System to improve County-wide coverage, and appropriate the necessary funds, not to exceed $50,000, from the General Fund's Fund Balance. This budget amendment provides for a fund balance appropriation of $50,000 from the General Fund to cover the cost of the Needs Assessment. (See Attachment 1, column #3) New Hope Fire Department 5. The New Hope Volunteer Fire Department of Orange County, Inc. has requested a portion of their district's available fund balance ($7,400) to cover the costs of unanticipated costs due to the replacement of central air conditioning units at both Stations 1 and 2. Due to the age of the units, replacement was more cost effective than repairs. With this appropriation, approximately $30,000 remains in the district's unassigned fund balance. This budget amendment provides for the appropriation of $7,400 from the district's fund balance for the above stated purpose. (See Attachment 1, column #4 and Attachment 3) Sheriff Department 6.

Based on their work, Orange County will receive $40,702 from the U.S. Department of Justice for the current fiscal year. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #5) Carry Forwards 7. On June 30 of each year, there are instances where approved funding for certain Board approved initiatives is not fully expended at the end of the fiscal year, and the unexpended monies revert to the County's fund balance. In order for the County to fulfill financial obligations related to these appropriations, the Board must re- appropriate fund balance in the next fiscal year for these planned expenditures. For FY 2012-13, the General Fund Balance appropriation request is $19,350. These carry forwards consist of the following: (1) $5,100 in NC Matching Grant funds within the Soil and Water division; and (2) $14,250 in donations to the Little River Park for the purchase of new park equipment. In order to carry funds forward and authorize their expenditure in fiscal year 2012-13, it is necessary for the Board to appropriate $19,350 from the General Fund's fund balance.

September 24,2012 Mr. Paul Laughton Orange County Financial Services P.O. Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Paul, In July 2012,we had to replace the central air conditioning units at both station 1 and station 2 because of mechanical failures. Due to the age of the units,replacement was more cost effective than repairs. We solicited price quotes from three local vendors and the job was awarded to mechanical Comfort, LLC, Efland,NC. The cost to replace the unit at station 1 was$3800 and the cost to replace the unit at station 2 was$3600. We are requesting that the County allocate$7400 from our fund balance to cover the costs of these unanticipated replacement expenditures. Please contact us if you have questions or need additional information. Thank you for your time and assistance with this project Regards, f Howard Pratt, President Mike Tapp,Fire Chief
