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. 4 Vehicle Replacement Fund($130,000) - Project#30010 Revenues for this project: Current FY 2022-23 FY 2022-23 FY 2022-23 Amendment Revised Alternative Financing $6,536,438 $130,000 $6,666,438 Transit Tax Proceeds $223,400 $223,400 Insurance Reimbursement $166,098 $166,098 Municipal Contribution $9,000 $9,000 Grant Funding $2,666,549 $2,666,549 Total Project Funding $9,601,485 $130,000 $9,731,485 Appropriated for this project: Current FY 2022-23 FY 2022-23 FY 2022-23 Amendment Revised Vehicle Replacement Project Expenditures $9,601,485 $130,000 $9,731,485 Total Costs $9,601,485 $130,000 $9,731,485 5.

County Capital Reserve 6. The County leased the prior Skills Development Center to Well Dot, Inc. and has received $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.

Following the event, University Baptist Church sent Orange County Finance & Administrative Services a check in the amount of$5,000 as a donation to SOHRAD to assist with medication and harm reduction needs for SOHRAD clients and individuals experiencing homelessness.
