Purpose
To consider proposed budget ordinance amendments.
Background
1. Sheriff's Department- At the April 16 meeting,the Board of County Commissioners approved the six
deputy I positions to staff the new jail addition. The 1996-97 budget includes a contingency
appropriation for these positions. This budget amendment moves the funds ($43,558) for the salary and
related costs for these positions from the Non-Departmental Sheriff's Contingency account to the
Sheriff's Department operations account. (see page 2 of this abstract).
2. Corp of Engineers Drainage Basin Study-On April 1, 1997,the Board of County Commissioners
approved an appropriation from their contingency account for$6,250 as the County's first of two
installments for the drainage basin study project. The $200,000 cost of the study of the Bolin, Booker,
and Morgan Creek watersheds will be shared between the Corp,the State, UNC, and local governments.
The Corp. will pay one half of the total cost;the State will pay one quarter of the total cost; and, UNC,
Chapel Hill, Carrboro and Orange County will each pay$12,500. This appropriation from the
Commissioner's contingency account pays one half of the County's share. The remainder of the
County's costs will be budgeted in the 1997-98 operating budget.
The balance of the Board of Commissioner's contingency account, after this appropriation is $94,046.
The activity of this account since the beginning of the year is as follows:
1996-97 Original Budget $100,000
Prior year balance carried over from 1995-96 for Daycare if needed $25,000
Habitat for Humanity Reimbursement for Impact Fees $9,704
Community in Schools for People Under 6 capital improvements $15,000
