SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are
applicable to 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
3
origin or ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential
or economic status.
• 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.
• GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY
The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries,

Department of Social Services
2. The department has received an additional allocation from the State for the Low Income
Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) of$35,000 to provide funds to assist low-
income households with water and wastewater bills.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is
applicable to this item:
• 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.
Fleet Services
3. The Fleet Services Division has identified significant increases in the costs of fuel and
repairs that will require additional funds of$473,000 to continue service through the end of
the fiscal year. These are due to a 58% increase in the cost of diesel and a 18% increase
in the cost of gasoline against the same period in the prior year. There have also been
significant repair costs incurred this year, including repairs required to two Ambulances.
Due to higher attrition across the County during this time, the County can increase the
anticipated salary savings account to offset the increase, requiring no additional fund
balance appropriation in the current fiscal year.
SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impacts
associated with this item.
Sheriff's Office
4. The FY 2022-23 Capital Investment Plan provided $450,000 for the replacement of 15
Sheriff's Office vehicles. This investment is part of the four-year plan to reduce the age of
the Sheriff's Office vehicle fleet. However, due to rising costs in the vehicle market, another
$130,000 is required to replace 15 vehicles this fiscal year. This amendment increases the
financing authorization in Vehicle Replacement Capital Project, outside of the General
Fund, to maintain the current replacement schedule.

$250,000 in an initial deposit. The Skills Development Center was renovated in 2018, and
was part of the financing package that year. Due to federal tax rules, any revenues received
from leasing a property that is currently financed cannot fund operating expenses. Instead,
the $250,000 deposit and all future Well Dot lease payments will be deposited to the County
Capital Reserve for subsequent capital expenditures subject to additional budget
amendments. All capital expenditures associated with these proceeds will be separately
tracked for bond compliance purposes. This amendment increases the County Capital
Reserve fund by $250,000, outside of the General Fund.

Baptist Church sent Orange County Finance & Administrative Services a check in the
