FY 2021-22 Manager Bonnie Hammersley, (919) 245-2300 Recommended Outside Agency Travis Myren, (919) 245-2308 Appropriations Gary Donaldson, (919) 245-2453 Paul Laughton, (919) 245-2152 Melissa Allison, (919) 245-2301 PURPOSE: To review and discuss Outside Agencies funding for FY 2021-22. BACKGROUND: Each fiscal year, non-profit organizations that deliver community services have the ability to apply for program funding from Orange County. In December 2016, the Orange County Board of Commissioners adopted a funding target of 1.2 percent of the county's general fund expenditures, less the appropriation for education expenses, for the purpose of funding outside agency operations. Historically, the county had a funding target of 1.0 percent. Applications are reviewed by staff members for completeness and eligibility. The applications are then presented to a specific advisory board and evaluated. Each advisory board then makes recommendations to the County Manager for consideration. The County Manager presents recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, which approves the final allocations. Recipients are required to submit written program reports that include: goals, description of activities/challenges, revisions of timelines/budgets, and other relevant information. Funded projects are monitored for progress and performance, financial and administrative management, and compliance with the terms of Performance/Development Agreement(s). Monitoring may involve site and/or office visit(s). For fiscal year 2021-22, Orange County received applications from 55 agencies. The requests totaled $2,048,551, an increase of $486,577 above fiscal year 2020-21. The FY 2021-22 Manager Recommended budget includes funding awards for 53 agencies with a total of $1,821,953; an increase of$259,979 from the FY 2020-21 Commissioner Approved Budget. This includes one-time American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds of $259,774. One of the allowable 2 uses of ARPA funds is to support Non-Profit agencies. As a result, the entire Outside Agency allocation in FY 2021-22 is funded using ARPA funds. Based on the theme of this year's budget, most outside agencies are recommended to receive the same funding as they did last year, with the exception of eighteen (18) agencies who are recommended to receive additional one-time ARPA funding. Please refer to the Outside Agency section (Pages 351-362) of the FY 2021-22 Manager Recommended budget for discussion of Outside Agency funding. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with the discussion of Outside Agencies. Decisions that the Board makes on Outside Agency funding, as part of its discussion of the Manager Recommended FY 2021-22 Annual Operating Budget, will have financial impacts. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are associated with this item: • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND INEQUITY The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic status. • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang activity, substance abuse and domestic violence. • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their dependents.
