Background
General Fund
Department of Social Services
1. The State has reallocated additional day care funds totalling $125,000 to Orange County. No additional
County monies are required for the receipt of these funds. This allocation will bring the County's general
fund day care budget to $729,784 (see block#1, page 3).
2. The Child Protective Services division of DSS has received an allocation totalling $500 from the State.
These funds, which are related to the "Reducing Trauma in Child Sexual Abuse Investigations" grant, will
be used to purchase supplies for this program (see block#2, page 3).
Health Department
3. The Orange County Health Department has received Jordan-Adams allocations from the State. These
funds, which total $2,726, will be budgeted within various programs within the Health Department. In
addition, $200 has been received from the State to support travel costs associated with a departmental
nurse to attend State sponsored training (see block#3, page 3).
Recreation and Parks
4. During 1993-94, participation in the County's Recreation and Parks programs was higher than originally
anticipated. This demand has generated additional revenues, totalling approximately $15,000, for this
department during the fiscal year. This amendment will budget for the receipt of these additional funds
(see block#4, page 3).
Sheriffs Department
5. On June 6, 1994, the Board of County Commissioners appropriated $24,947 from the Contingency
account. These funds will be used to pay medical costs incurred by the County when a female inmate
was injured as she attempted to escape from Sheriffs Department custody (see block#5, page 3).
6. Members of this department have provided security at various special events at the University of North
Carolina (UNC) during this fiscal year. The County has paid these officers through its payroll system,
and, in turn, has been reimbursed by UNC. The total amount received by the County is estimated to be
$17,000. This amendment will budget for the receipt of these funds (see block#6, page 4).
Non-Departmental (Outside Agencies)
7. Rape Crisis of Orange County has received a Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant from the State. This
grant will be used to assist victims of sexual assault. No County match is required for this $17,616
grant. This amendment will budget for the receipt of these funds (see block#7, page 4).
Non-Departmental (Miscellaneous)
8. The 1993-94 approved budget included, in the Miscellaneous Function, an allocation totalling $185,689
for the employee merit pay system. This amendment will allocate these funds to functions within the
general fund for merits awarded throughout the fiscal year(see block#8, page 4).
Non-Departmental (Debt Service)
9. In May, 1993, the County refinanced bonds issued in 1989, 1990 and 1991. This refinancing resulted in
substantial savings to the County in reduced debt service payment requirements. A portion of the first
year's savings was in the form of a payment to the County for accrued interest on the bonds prior to the
actual closing of the bond sale. This amendment adjusts the budget to reflect this accrued interest as a
revenue and increases the bond interest payment amount by the same amount (see block#9. page 4).
Hyconeechee Regional Library Fund
10. The Hyconeechee Regional Library received unbudgeted State and Local revenues during 1993-94.
These additional funds include $37,500 in State Aid; $125,809 appropriated from monies that the Region
held prior to becoming a County department; $18,000 in reimbursements from the Regional County
members for expenses incurred by the Region; and $2,235 in interest income. This amendment adjusts
the budget to reflect this additional revenue (see block#10, page 5).
Orange County Schools Capital Projects
11. Each year, funds are transferred to the School Capital Project Fund for each school system and these
funds are allocated to various school capital projects. For 1993-94, the Orange County Schools
allocated all but$3,112 of their funds to various school projects. This technical amendment adopts a
capital project ordinance creating a project account for this capital reserve project (see attached capital
project ordinance).
County Capital Reserve Fund
12. The 1993-94 budget ordinance includes an appropriation of fund balance for this fund. Since capital
projects are authorized by the Board of County Commissioners in separate project ordinances, this
appropriation in the budget ordinance is not necessary. This technical budget amendment deletes this
reference in Section III of the approved budget ordinance.
Recommendation
The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed budget ordinance
amendments and proposed capital project ordinance.
