BACKGROUND: 1. The Department of Social Services has received notification from the State of additional allocation of funds for the following programs: • Day Care Funding — The department will use additional State funding (in the amount of $21,629) for child-care subsidies to low-income families. Approximately 1,215 children and their families have benefited from this program this fiscal year. The receipt of additional funds brings the current budget for this program to $3,006,413. No County match is required in order for the County to receive these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1). • LINKS Program —Additional State funds, in the amount of$1,275, have been awarded to the County's LINKS program. This program allows the Department of Social Services to offer training to foster care youth regarding job preparation, daily living skills, and money management. The receipt of the additional funds brings the current budget for this program to $33,055. No County match is required for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #2). 2. The Department on Aging has entered into an agreement with UNC to lease space located at the Chapel Hill Senior Center. In return, the University has agreed to pay $1,000 for the use of the space. This budget amendment allows for the receipt of these unbudgeted revenues. (See Attachment 1, column #3) 2 3. During this fiscal year, the Department on Aging received donations from clients for care management services that the department has provided. This amendment provides for the receipt of $2,200 in unbudgeted revenues. (See Attachment 1, column #4) 4. Orange Public Transportation (OPT) has received ,notification from the North Carolina Department of Transportation for additional funds to support rural transportation programs. The funds, totaling $54,347, are aimed at expanding public service in rural areas. No County match is required in order for the County to receive these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #5) 5. On February 19, 2002, the Board of County Commissioners accepted a $10,000 grant from the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management to fund a multi-county study for evacuation needs that result from terrorism activity. The grant focuses on a feasibility study for evacuation of a six county area along J140 from Johnston County to Guilford County. No additional County funds are required for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #6) 6. On June 30 of each year, certain designated appropriations are not fully expended. Many of these are related 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 for these outstanding purchase orders g p are automatically re- appropriated in the new fiscal year's budget. Other appropriations are not fully expended p at the end of the fiscal year because there are no outstanding purchase or 9 p dens. Funds for these planned, but unencumbered expenditures, are set-aside at year-end as a reserved portion of fund balance. In order to carry these funds forward and authorize their expenditure in fiscal year 2001-02, it is necessary for the Board to approve the attached amendment (see Attachment 1, column #7). 7. The approved 2001-02 budget included, in the Miscellaneous Function, an allocation totaling $ 484,275 for elements of the employee pay plan including in-range salary increase, meritorious service awards, and equity retention funds. This amendment allocates these funds to functions within the General Funds for awards given throughout the fiscal year. (See Attachment 1, column #8). Through this amendment, the Board also confirms actions taken during the year to hire employees at salaries above Step 5D of the salary range. Hiring someone at a salary above Step 5D requires Board of Commissioners' approval. Positions confirmed by this action include the following: Dept Position Grade Step Salary Budget Budget Analyst II 69 613 $42,204 Health Family Nurse Practitioner 1 74 8A $58,662 Health Family Nurse Practitioner 1 74 10D $67,069 Health Environmental Health Specialist 68 6D $41,178 Manager's Office Assistant County Manager 81 8C $84,579 Planning Planner III 72 7B $51,301 Social Services Social Services Director 80 10D $89,877 3 8. In Spring 2000, the Board approved the issuance of $2.845 million in two-thirds net debt reduction bonds. These funds were to cover a portion of the costs to renovate Whitted and Northern Human Services Centers. At its June 18, 2002 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved funds in the amount of $2,328,874 for a portion of the Whitted Human Services Center renovations to include replacement of the HVAC system, replacement of ceiling and lighting, upgrades to the data wiring system throughout the building, and renovations to clinic space located in the Health Department. The awarded bid include the following costs: • HVAC/Ceiling/Lighting replacement - $2,064,344 funded from two-thirds net debt reduction bonds • Data Wiring upgrades - $49,301 funded from prior years appropriations to the Information Technology Capital Project • Renovations to Health Department clinic space - $215,229 funded from monies appropriated in prior years to the Medicaid Maximization Capital Project Staff anticipates that the work will begin in August 2002 and will take approximately fifteen months to complete. (The attached Whiffed Human Services Center Capita! Project Ordinance appropriates the two-thirds new debt funds.) 9. In June 2000, the Sheriffs Department entered into an agreement with Justice Benefits (JBI). JBI specializes in securing appropriate Federal financial assistance in recovering federal funds that are due to counties who house federal inmates. Based on the work that JBI performed, Orange County has received an unanticipated $100,000. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, column # 10). FINANCIAL IMPACT: No additional County funds are required for the receipt of these funds. RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached budget ordinance amendment and capital project ordinance.
