BACKGROUND:
Social Services
The Department of Social Services has received the following donations that are set-aside in
a special Adoption Enhancement Fund:
a. Foster Care Donations - donated funds totaling $20,394 from Triangle Community
Foundation, Inc, ($20,214) and from a refund of an overpayment of a day camp
participant ($180). These funds will be used to help send Department of Social
Services foster care children to summer camp. This budget amendment provides for
the receipt of these donated funds, (See Attachment 1, column #1)
b, General Assistance Donations - donated funds totaling $356 from citizens of Orange
County ($100) and from the N. C. Department of Health and Human Services,
Division of Vocational Rehabilitation ($256) to help with special needs of clients
including seniors. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these donated
funds, (See Attachment 1, column #1)
Miscellaneous (Technical Amendment)
2. A technical amendment is needed to correctly budget two entries in their appropriate
functions. At the time of establishing the Changes to the Manager's Recommended Budget
for Board of Commissioner approval, the decrease of $10,000 in the transfer to Affordable
Housing Trust Fund should have been reduced from the Transfers function instead of from
the Human Services function, and the increase of $4,000 to the Burwell School should have
been added to the Cultural and Recreation Non-Departmental function instead of the Human
Services Non-Departmental function. This technical amendment provides for the
appropriate budgeting in these functions for FY 2005-06. (See Attachment 1, column #2)
Department on Aging
3. The Department on Aging has received notification from the N. C. Department of Insurance
of receipt of $1,000 to be used to promote/expand the Senior Health Insurance Information
Program (SHIIP) within the eldercare division. This budget amendment provides for the
receipt of these funds for the above purpose. (See Attachment 1, column #3)
4. The Department on Aging has also received funds totaling $1,093 from the Triangle J
Council of Government for Orange County's share of the Duke Energy program to purchase
fans for low-income elderly Orange County residents. Duke Energy donates funds annually
to this program.. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See
Attachment 1, column #4)
Health Department
5. At its August 16, 2005 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the transfer
of $21,500 from the Social Safety Net/Critical Needs Reserve to the Health Department's
Environmental Health division to address water sampling costs of an estimated 100
households in the Mill Creek Road Area located in the Cedar Grove Township. This budget
amendment provides for the transfer of these funds to the Environment Health division of
the Health Department for this purpose. With this appropriation of $21,500, $418,500
remains budgeted in the Social Safety Net/Critical Needs Reserve for FY 2005-06. (See

HOME Program funding formula. The total funding received equals $50,000 with committed
