BACKGROUND:
Department on Aging
1. The Department on Aging has received additional local support funds totaling $577 for its
Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). This brings the current budget to $13,477
for fiscal year 2003-04. These local support funds are contributions from the Towns of
Chapel Hill and Carrboro for the RSVP program. This budget amendment provides for the
receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1).
Emergency Management
2. The Department of Emergency Management has received notification of State-administered
Federal funds totaling $4,972 from the N. C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety,
Division of Emergency Management. These funds will be used to perform training exercises
for local public safety first responders related to chemical and biological attacks, and
industrial chemical accidents. The protective breathing apparatus equipment used by the
participants during these training exercises were purchased also from State-administered
federal grant funds the County received in Spring, 2003. There is no required County match
for these grant funds. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See
Attachment 1, column #2)

3. At its September 2, 2003 meeting, the Board of Commissioners approved a federal grant
totaling $10,000 through the N. C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety, Division
of Emergency Management for the establishment of a Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT) program in Orange County. The purpose of this program is to train citizens to
the minimum level of emergency preparedness and response necessary to ensure the
safety of themselves, their family, their co-workers, and their neighbors for the first three
days following a disaster. There is no required County match for these State-administered
Federal funds. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See
Attachment 1, column #3)
4. At its September 2, 2003 meeting, the Board of Commissioners also approved a federal
grant totaling $2,500 through the State of North Carolina, Office of the Governor for the
establishment of a Citizen Corps Council for Orange County. The purpose of the Citizen
Corps Council is to provide an umbrella organization to assist in coordination of the
volunteer programs involving emergency preparedness. These grant funds will be used in
developing emergency preparedness materials in English and other languages, and assist in
translation services to create these materials. A countywide All-Hazards Guide will be a key
publication created through this program. There is no required County match for these
State-administered Federal funds. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these
funds. (See Attachment 1, column #4)
5. The Department has recently received notification from the N. C. Department of Crime
Control and Public Safety, Division of Emergency Management, of the receipt of Continuity
of Government Planning funds totaling $49,503, from the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). These funds will be used to update the County's Emergency Operations
Plan (EOP) for all hazards with special emphasis on Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
Terrorism Preparedness. There is no required County match for these State-administered
Federal reimbursement funds. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these
funds. (See Attachment 1, column #5)
Soil and Water
6. The Orange County Soil and Water Conservation District has received a reimbursement
grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the provision of technical
assistance in implementing the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act or "Farm Bill of
2002." Both the USDA and the Orange County Soil and Water District have a shared and
complimentary mission to assist land users and owners in conserving their soil, water, and
related natural resources as well as improving water quality. As such, the federal cost
sharing program available through the Farm Bill represents a significant opportunity for both
parties to achieve their shared mission. The agreement allows for reimbursement up to
$3,000 for technical and administrative assistance provided by Soil and Water to land
users/owners in meeting the Farm Bill's soil loss and water quality requirements. This
budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #6)
Non-Departmental
7. On September 16, 2003, the Board of County Commissioners approved an appropriation of
$5,000 from the Human Services Safety Net to EI Centro Latino for sponsorship of the
"Many Cultures, One Race" road race. The 10K road race, one mile walk/run and children's
track is a fund raising event for youth leadership development programs in Orange County
and was held at McDougle School in Carrboro on Saturday, September 20, 2003. This
budget amendment provides for the appropriation of $5,000 from the Human Services
Safety Net to EI Centro Latino for this event. (See Attachment 1, column #7)
