BACKGROUND: Sher ff s Department 1. The Orange County Sheriff's Department has received a Response Advocates for Victim Emergencies (RAVE) Training for Law Enforcement grant from the Governor's Crime Commission. Funding from this two-year grant provides specialized training to patrol and jail officers to respond to female victims of domestic violence. There are no new positions associated with this grant. The chart below provides two year grant and required County match amounts: FY 1999-00 FY 2000-01 Total State Grant $19,456 $17,761 $37,217 Required County Match $6,485 $5,920 $12,405 Program Total $25,941 $23,681 $49,622 This amendment increases the Sheriff's Department budget for the receipt of the grant in fiscal year _ _1999-00_with_the_required_1999—QQCountymatch_being_covered with currently_budgeted funds__The 2 Sheriff will include the second year of the grant and required match in the 2000-01 fiscal year budget request. (see column#1,page 4 of this agenda abstract). Outside Agencies 2. On August 17, the Board of County Commissioners approved a Crime Commission pass-thru grant for the Dispute Settlement Center to implement a Restorative Justice Program. This $31,542 grant is designed to help juvenile courts and court counselors hold juvenile offenders accountable for their actions. No County match is required for the receipt of this grant(see column #2, page 4 of this agenda abstract). School Capital Project Ordinances • Orange County Schools 3. Recently,the Orange County Schools began clearing a site for the new elementary school. While the contractor will burn a portion of the waste, he will haul away debris generated by road and power line clearing. The project budget did not allow for additional costs associated with hauling the debris, and the school system is requesting an additional $19,530 to cover the unanticipated costs. This amendment appropriates fund balance from the School Capital Project Fund and increases the capital project ordinance to allow for discarding debris at the school site. (see attached letter from Randy Bridges and New Elementary School Capital Project Ordinance [Phase 1]). • Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools 4. On June 21, the Board approved the County's ten-year Capital Investment Plan. At that time, the Board decided to approve individual project ordinances for the County and both school systems during the fiscal year as project scopes develop. Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools recently requested fiscal year 1999-00 funding for five projects. As shown in the chart below, requested funding falls within the amounts included in the CIP: Capital Project 1999-00 CIP 1999-00 Request Funding Appropriation from CHCCS Source (as included in the approved 1999-09 CIP) Fire/Safety/Security -update and $152,600 $152,600 %2 Cent Sales expand the district's fire, safety, and Tax security systems in all buildings Technology—upgrade instructional $750,000 $750,000 %Cent Sales technology throughout the district, to Tax make technology a natural part of students'learning in the classroom Culbreth Middle School $100,000 $100,000 %2 Cent Sales Renovations(Labs,Gym, Tax and Auditorium)—Upgrade science lab Savings from furniture and equipment for Scroggs classrooms and improve gym lighting Elementary and campus sidewalks School Phillips Middle School Renovations $140,000 $140,000 %Cent Sales (Labs,Doors,Lockers)— Upgrade Tax and science lab furniture and equipment Savings from for classrooms, replace doors to Scroggs gymnasium and cafeteria, Elementary replace/upgrade locker rooms School equipment, lighting and ceramic tile Ephesus Elementary School $ 67,305 $67,305 %2 Cent Sales Renovations(Multi-Purpose Room) Tax —Replace entrance doors and install new flooring for play area 3 As presented in during CIP discussions with the CHCCS staff over the past year, a portion of the funding for Culbreth and Phillips renovations projects comes from savings from the Scroggs Elementary School construction project. The scope of the renovation work is relatively small and will be completed in-house. School officials wish to purchase technology, lab and other equipment as early in the school year as possible so that students have maximum benefit of new equipment. The attached capital project ordinances provide for the funding outlined in the chart above. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the budget ordinance amendments and capital project ordinances.

O. Box 8181 Hillsborough,NC 27278 Dear John: I appreciate your letter, and the opportunity to speak with the County Commissioners concerning the burning of debris at the site of our new elementary school. This project is behind schedule, and we are working as quickly as possible to move this school construction forward so that we may open next August. I appreciate you and the Commissioners working with us on this project and can assure you that burning will not be an issue on future building projects for the Orange County School System. I have asked our construction consultant to use any and all precautions to minimize the effects of burning. We will try to avoid burning on code orangefred days, and when the temperature is exceedingly high. At this time,burning must occur to keep us close to our schedule. Our contractor has been able to plan for hauling the additional debris off site that will be generated by completing the road and clearing for the power lines. As I shared with you and the Commissioners, that was not included with the contract we entered into with him. He will need to bring additional equipment and trucks to haul the debris away. The additional acreage for the road and power lines will be about 5.27 acres. To haul this debris away will cost$19,530.00. As I understood the Commissioners,they are willing to cover this cost pending your approval. I am asking that you approve this request so that we may continue to move forward. If you need additional information about this request,please let me know as soon as possible. At this time we have almost completed the burning we need to do. We will only bum additional debris if this request is not approved. Please know that the Orange County Board of Education and I are very concerned with all environmental issues, and want to cooperate with you and the Commissioners. Had I known the views of all the Commissioners on our decision to bum the debris, their concerns would have been shared with the Board for their consideration b John Link -2- August 23, 1999 As always, I appreciate your assistance to our school system as we continue to promote and provide a quality education for the children in northern Orange County.
