BACKGROUND:
Soil and Water Conservation District
1) At its April 7, 1998 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved a joint
agreement with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service. Under the joint agreement, these agencies
will fully fund a position to provide technical assistance to farmers and landowners and
using best nutrient management practices, reduce the nitrogen delivered to the Neuse River.
The reduction goal is 30 percent within a five-year period from 1998 until 2003. The
attached Water Quality Improvements Grant Project Ordinance on page 4 of this abstract
provides funding for the first year of this program and authorizes the associated full time
equivalent position through September 30, 1998.
Health Department
2) The Board of County Commissioners accepted a grant from the N.C. Division of Women
and Children's Health for an Intensive Home Visiting grant. The grant provides funds to
decrease child abuse and neglect; improve parent-child interaction; ensure adequate use of
preventive family support services; improve children's health and development; and
improve the service delivery system in Orange County by decreasing fragmentation and
2
duplication. The attached Intensive Home Visiting Grant Project Ordinance on page 6 of
this abstract provides for the receipt of these grant funds and authorizes the 3.5 full time
equivalent time-limited positions associated with the program.
Department on Aging
3) At the February 17, 1998 Board meeting, the County Commissioners approved an agreement
with SeniorNet to establish and maintain a computer learning center for senior citizens. This
two-year grant covers all start-up and operational expenses for the project. Jointly funded by
SeniorNet, a volunteer organization, and BellSouth, this 2-year grant provides funds for
start-up and operational expenses. IBM will provide six computers and two printers. The
attached SeniorNet Grant Project ordinance on page 8 of this agenda abstract provides for
the receipt of these funds.
Miscellaneous
4) In November 1996, the Board of County Commissioners approved the County's
participation in the Emergency watershed Protection Program. Through this program, the
State reimburses the County for 25 percent of the costs associated with cleaning storm
debris, mainly associated with Hurricane Fran, from the County's rivers, streams, and
waterways. The County contracted with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
for the clean up, and in turn, MRCS billed us for one-fourth of the total clean-up cost
($23,844). No County funds are required for the receipt of these funds. The attached budget
amendment appropriates these funds and allows for reimbursement to Natural Resources
Conservation Service. (See block#4, page 3).
Efland Cheeks Community School Park
5) On April 7, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners approved two contracts associated
with the Efland-Cheeks Community School Park. The attached Efland Cheeks Community
School Park Capital Project Ordinance allocates 1997 bond funds totaling $62,520 for
professional services ($57,520) and a boundary and topographic survey ($5,000). A revised
capital project ordinance including total park construction costs will be presented to the
Board of Commissioners when park plans are finalized within the next few months.
School Capital Projects
5) On April 7, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners approved an impact fee
reimbursement request from UCC Living Centers. The amount requested and approved was
$120,000 with funding to come from undesignated fund balance in the School Capital Fund.
Block#6 on page 3 of this abstract appropriates these funds and allows for reimbursement.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of Commissioners approve
the attached budget amendments, and grant and project ordinances as presented.
