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.
