Intensive Home Visiting TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Grant Project Ordinance Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To approve budget ordinance amendments and grant and capital project ordinances for fiscal year 2001-02. BACKGROUND: Human Rights and Relations Department 1. The Human Rights and Relations Department has received notification from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) of Partnership Initiative grant funds totaling $25,000 to be used to support the fair housing education outreach and enforcement initiative. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. There is no County match required for the receipt of these funds. (see Attachment 1, column #1) 2. The Department has also received notification of additional funds in the amount of$4,600 to be used to enforce the County's Civil Rights Ordinance. Each year, the department projects expected revenues to be received from HUD based on a federal formula. After the federal budget is set, HUD then makes adjustments to the dollar amounts based on the approved budget. This amount of$4,600 represents the adjustment. (see Attachment 1, column #2) Department of Social Services 3. The Department of Social Services has received notification from the State of additional Crisis Intervention funds totaling $9,734 to be used for crisis related heating/living needs of those citizens who are "medically at risk". To date this fiscal year, this program has served 426 Orange County citizens. These additional funds bring the current budget for this program to $139,734. (see Attachment 1, column #3) 2 Health Department 4. The Health Department has received notification of additional State grant funds totaling $10,520 for its Intensive Home Visiting Program. This funding is made available by the North Carolina Children's Trust Fund and expenditures must be reported to the North Carolina Division of Public Health by June 19, 2002 in order for the County to receive reimbursement. The goal of this program is to decrease child abuse and neglect, improve parent-child interaction, ensure adequate use of preventive family support services, and improve children's health and development. The additional funds will be used to purchase incentives, such as baby birth supplies, and educational supplies to families who participate in the program. This brings the total budget for the grant project to $179,139 for the current fiscal year. (see Intensive Home Visiting Grant Project Ordinance, Attachment 2) Library 5. As part of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Universal Service Fund "schools and libraries" program was established. One provision of the Act was to provide discounts of 20 to 90 percent for telecommunication services, Internet access, and internal connections to schools and libraries. The discount that individual schools and libraries receive depends on economic need (as determined by the National School Lunch Program) and location, such as rural or urban. Funding for these discounts comes through the telecommunications industry to the Universal Service Fund. Orange County Public Library's discount is based on basic telephone service only. This year, the Orange County Library has received a-rate discount funds totaling $4,564 from Sprint. These discount funds will be used to purchase a Gates computer for patron access, conference room tables (to replace damaged ones) and book carts for patron access to library services. Funds will also be used to continue the maintenance agreement on the library security system. There is no County match for the receipt of these funds. (see Attachment 1, column #5) FINANCIAL IMPACT: Financial impacts are included in the background information above. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached grant project and budget ordinance amendments.
