Background Economic Development 1. At the November 1 Board meeting, the Commissioners approved an appropriation from contingency to pay one half of one year's membership in the Research Triangle Regional Partnership. The County's dues for January through June 1995 are based on 15 cents per capita which is equivalent to $7,050. In future years, the contribution from the central counties (Orange, Wake and Durham) is expected to increase to 30 cents per capita. The attached budget amendment (box #1, page #3) transfers $7,050 from the Board of Commissioners' contingency appropriation to the Economic Development Commission's budget for this purpose. Health Department 2. At the November 1, 1994 meeting, the Commissioners accepted an additional $3,374 in State funds for the Breast and Cervical Cancer Program. The attached grant project ordinance accepts these additional funds. Coordinated Area Transportation 3. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has awarded Orange County $7,556 in special state funds to support rural general public transportation. The attached budget amendment (box # 2, page 3 of this abstract) appropriates these additional funds. 4. The Board of Commissioners at their September 20 meeting, approved an increase in the HeadStart 2 transportation contract to five days per week. The attached budget amendment (box # 3, page 3) receives the additional revenue and appropriates $4,350 in additional funds to provide these additional hours of service. No additional County funds are required. _ Piney Mountain 5. At the September 20, 1994, meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved an agreement for securing State Construction Grant funds for the extension of the municipal utility service to the Piney Mountain subdivision. Under the terms of the agreement, the County will contract with the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) for the provision of administrative and technical services and the design, permitting, construction, administration, operation and maintenance of the Piney Mountain Subdivision Wastewater System. The funding for this utility work is to be paid by the homeowners ($348,850) and by a grant from the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission ($88,500).No direct County funds are required to complete the construction of the utility service. The attached capital project ordinance establishes this project and appropriates a total of $437,350 for the completion of this project. New Courthouse Capital Projects 6. The Board of Commissioners has approved a plan for the addition to the New Courthouse which varies the original scope of the project. The additional funds required for the completion of this project, $120,000 will not be needed until fiscal year 1995-96. However, in order to proceed with the project as planned, it is necessary to amend the capital project ordinance to reflect the Board's decision. The attached revised capital project ordinance reflects the additional appropriation to be made in 1995-96. The additional funds will be available from sales tax revenue based on updated revenue projections. Recommendation The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the proposed budget ordinance amendments and proposed capital project ordinances. 3 Orange County Proposed 1994-95 Budget Amendments The 1994-95 Orange County Budget Ordinance,is amended as follows: Before After Amendment Amendment Amendment 1.
