BACKGROUND:
Department of Social Services
The Department of Social Services has a contractual agreement with UNC Hospitals to
provide the hospital three full-time Income Maintenance Caseworkers and one part-time
supervisor in connection with the department's Medicaid program. The hospital reimburses
the County for the County share of the salary, benefits, and the indirect costs associated
with these positions. The total cost of this contract for FY 2003-04 is $84,267, The
department budgeted $79,578 for this contract in FY 2003-04. This budget amendment
provides for the receipt of these additional funds totaling $4,689. (See Attachment 1,
column #1)
The Department of Social Services has received notification from the State of additional funds
for the current fiscal year far the following programs:
2, Emergency Assistance Services - An additional State allocation totaling $1,009 for the
Emergency Food and Shelter Program, These funds will be used for emergency assistance
services for indigent Orange County citizens in crisis, These additional funds bring the
current budget for this program to $9,009 for FY 2003-04, This budget amendment provides
for the receipt of these funds, (See Attachment 1, column #2)
3.. Medicaid De-Linking - An additional State allocation of federal funds totaling $3,501 to
assist with temporary support in reviewing cases terminated from Work First to determine
Medicaid eligibility, The Department did not budget for this program in FY 2003-04, thus
z
these funds bring the current budget to $3,501 far FY 2003-04. This budget amendment
provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2)
4. Crisis Intervention Prevention - An additional State allocation of federal funds totaling
$35,035 to pay for crisis related heating/living needs for Orange County citizens that are
medically at-risk. Staff estimates that 115 citizens will be served with these additional funds.
This is a mandated program with no County funds required. These additional funds bring
the current budget for this program to $135,035 for FY 2003-04. This budget amendment
provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2)
5. Energy Administration Program - An additional State allocation of federal funds totaling
$1,777 related to the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIEAP) Black Grant..
These funds will be used for temporary staff to interview and determine eligibility for low
income clients for the Public Assistance programs. These additional funds bring the current
budget for this program to $21,777 far FY 2003-04. This budget amendment provides for
the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2)
Miscellaneous
6. 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 far
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 from last year includes unexpended monies from the Human Services
Safety Net totaling $219,116 that will be added to the funds available in the current fiscal
year of $115,000. In order to carry these funds forward and authorize their expenditure in
fiscal year 2003-04, it is necessary for the Board to approve the attached amendment. (See
Attachment 1, column #3)
Department on Aging
7. The Department an Aging has received donated funds totaling $2,500 from the Carol Woods
Retirement Community to support 50% of the costs of the public television production In
Praise ofAge, which is aired weekly on The Peoples Channel. These funds will be used to
pay apart-time production manager and purchase supplies necessary for the project.
These additional funds bring the current budget for this production to $5,000 far FY 2003-04.
This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column
#4)
