BACKGROUND: Social Services The Department of Social Services has received notification from the State of additional funds for the current fiscal year for the following programs: At-Risk Case Management Services - these additional funds of $8,588 are the result of a recent Federal time reporting cost settlement due to the department. The department will use these funds to offset the costs of currently budgeted personnel services. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1) b. Child Day Care Subsidies - these additional funds of $59,493 will be used to continue to provide child-care subsidies to low-income families. These are funds available due to reversions and from Child Care and Development Fund reallocations, as well as State fiscal year 2003-04 carry forwards. Currently, there are 1,076 children and their families who benefit from this program in Orange County. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1) 2. The Department of Social Services has received the following donations from citizens that are set-aside in a special Adoption Enhancement Fund: a.

General Assistance Donations - donated funds totaling $1,470 from citizens to assist low-income families, who do not qualify for traditional programs, with holiday expenses for children, relocation expenses, and expenses related to obtaining driver's licenses and special Identification cards. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these donated funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2) On December 14, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved an appropriation of $50,000 from the Social Safety Net Reserve to the Department of Social Services. These funds would be used to provide subsidies to families on the Department's day care waiting list. This budget amendment provides for the appropriation of $50,000 from the Social Services Safety Net for day care subsidies. (See Attachment 1, column #3, and item #6 within this abstract) It is important to note that the approved budget for fiscal year 2004-05 included $100,000 in the Social Safety Net Reserve earmarked for day care subsidies. Following further analysis later this fiscal year, the Social Services Board plans to update the Board of County Commissioners and request the release of the remaining $50,000. Department on Aging 4. The Department on Aging has received additional funds for the current fiscal year for the following services: Frail Elderly Program - donated funds totaling $2,000 to be used to off set costs associated with assisting the at-risk older adults program.

Blue Cross/Blue Shield Mini-Grant for "Fit Feet" - receipt of grant funds totaling $5,700 between Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and the Friends of the Chapel Hill Senior Center on behalf of the County's Fit Feet wellness program. This program is a basic foot health care assessment program, where registered nurses assess clients who are 55 years and over, and are at risk of health problems due to untreated wounds, ulcers, or sores associated with the feet. No County match is required for the receipt of this grant. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See Attachment 3, Senior Health Coordination Grant Project Ordinance) c. Partners Medicaid Choice Walking Program - receipt of grant funds totaling $2,500 from Partners Choice for sponsorship in a Wellness Mall Walking Program. This is a joint venture between University Mall in Chapel Hill, the Cop Shop - a division of the community policing for the Chapel Hill Police Department located within the mall, and the Wellness Program of Orange County. Funds will be used to develop a daily walking program with incentives for walkers and a monthly healthy breakfast with a health and wellness related speaker for ten different months a year. No County match is required for the receipt of this grant. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See Attachment 3, Senior Health Coordination Grant Project Ordinance) d. United Way funds - receipt of additional United Way funds totaling $8,730 awarded through the Friends of the Chapel Hill Senior Center for the wellness program. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these additional funds. (See Attachment 3, Senior Health Coordination Grant Project Ordinance) Miscellaneous On June 30 of each year, certain designated appropriations are not fully expended. Many of these relate to outstanding purchase orders where goods and services have been ordered but not yet received and/or paid. In accordance with the annual budget ordinance, funds for these outstanding purchase orders are automatically re-appropriated in the new fiscal year's budget. On the other hand, there are instances where approved funding for certain initiatives is not fully expended at the end of the fiscal year, Funds for these planned, but unencumbered expenditures, must be re-appropriated from the County's fund balance. An example of this includes unexpended monies from the Social Safety Net totaling $150,952. In order to carry these funds forward and authorize their expenditure in fiscal year 2004-05, it is necessary for the Board to approve the attached amendment. (See Attachment 1, column #6) Environment and Resource Conservation On December 14, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the acceptance of an agricultural and watershed protection easement from John and Carolyn Lloyd, which will be held jointly by Orange County and the Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA). The cost of the easement purchase - to be split equally by Orange County and OWASA - is $3,500 per acre, or an estimated $413,000. Including closing and other transaction costs, the total Orange County share of the project cost is expected to be $219,000. The County's share would come from the alternative financing for conservation easements approved by the Board in FY 2002-03 ($192,000), with the remainder coming from the Lands Legacy Opportunities Fund ($27,000). This budget amendment provides for the appropriations for the purchase of this easement. (See Attachment 4, Conservation Easements Capital Project Ordinance, and Attachment 5, Lands Legacy Opportunities Capital Project Ordinance) Planning and Inspections Department 8. On December 14, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the selection of a consultant to assess the feasibility of a Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) program for Orange County. The Board approved an appropriation not to exceed $39,100 from the County's fund balance to cover the cost of Phase 1 (Background Research and Data Gathering), and Phase 2 (Feasibility Study). This budget amendment provides for the appropriation of $39,100 from the County's fund balance. (See Attachment 1, column #8) Emergency Management Department 9. On December 6, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the acceptance of a federally funded, State pass-through grant totaling $9,500 to continue the Citizen Corps Council and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) programs within the County. There is no County match for the receipt of these funds. These funds will be used to provide emergency preparedness information in three languages (English, Spanish, and a third language yet to be determined), as well as pay for training materials and supplies in support of the CERT program. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See Attachment 1, column #9) 10. On December 6, 2004, the Board of County Commissioners approved the acceptance of a State pass-through grant of Federal Homeland Security funds totaling $3,000 to reimburse Orange County for the cost of an emergency services training exercise. The County had received and utilized an earlier allotment of Homeland Security funds, while other counties in North Carolina were unable to utilize all of their allotted exercise funding. Due to Orange County's successful execution of these exercises, the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management approached Emergency Management with the offer of additional exercise funding of $3,000. There is no County match required for the receipt of these funds. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See Attachment 1, column #10) FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above..
