These improved provisions of accessibility will be in place by the November 2004 General Election. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1) Solid Waste Enterprise Fund 2, In January 2003, Orange County condemned four parcels of land, totaling 18.34 acres, along Eubanks Road in Chapel Hill Township. The land is being used primarily as the site for the County's new construction & demolition landfill and associated buffers and uses, As required by State law, Orange County at that time filed with the Clerk of Court a payment of $216,000, which, based on a May 2002 appraisal obtained by Orange County, represented fair market value for the property acquired. In late June 2004, County representatives reached agreement with the former property owner on the total price to be paid for the property, $272,500. The attached budget amendment will appropriate $57,947 in fund balance from the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund to cover the additional cast for land and the County's share of property taxes due.

Program participants will be selected from the existing Housing Rehabilitation Program waiting list according to date and time of waiting list placement. There were approximately 45 families on the waiting list as of May 2004.
