Budget as Amended Spreadsheet Attachment 2. Letter of Request from Inter-Faith Council for Social Service INFORMATION CONTACT: Donna Dean„ 245-2151 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To approve budget ordinance amendments for fiscal year 2003-04. BACKGROUND: Library Services The Hyconeechee Regional Library has received funds totaling $10,500 through donations raised by the "Sprint Children's Classic Golf Tournament" and Sprint employees. These funds are dispersed equally to the Caswell, Person, and Orange Counties' public libraries and are used to assist in funding the Children's Summer Reading Programs in each county. The Orange County Library's allocation is $3,500. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See attachment 1, column #1). Human Services Non-Departmental 2. During the outside agency funding process for the current fiscal year, Orange County received a request from the Inter-Faith Council for Social Service (IFC) for an additional $25,000. These funds were requested to assist with the transitional housing program, "Project Homestart," whose HUD funding had been significantly reduced. In order to address the ongoing needs served by Project Homestart, Orange County issued a challenge grant to IFC. This challenge indicated that if IFC raised an additional $15,000, then Orange County would contribute $10,000. IFC has provided documentation of additional funding that has been allocated or committed to IFC's Project Homestart for FY 2003-04, including $30,000 from the Town of Chapel Hill. (See Attachment 2 for the request letter from Inter- Faith Council). This budget amendment would transfer $10,000 from the Human Services Safety Net and allocate it to IFC, thereby satisfying the challenge grant. (See attachment 1, column #2) 2 Sheriff Department 3. The Sheriffs Department recently received notification of a North Carolina Governor's Highway Safety Program grant award. This grant will enable the department to concentrate efforts on reducing vehicular accidents through increased traffic patrols on rural roads throughout the County. The Sheriff has created the Rural Area Traffic Team (RATT) consisting of four deputies. Grant funds from the State totaling $88,268 will enable the department to equip current vehicles with traffic enforcement equipment such as in-car cameras, radar, and breath testing devices for the detection of those driving while impaired. A speed-monitoring trailer will be purchased to monitor and record speeds of vehicles in strategic locations, such as school zones. Personnel costs of the deputies will serve as the County's match for this grant. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See attachment 1, column #3) Emergency Management 4. The Emergency Management Department has received notification from the North Carolina Department of Crime Control and Public Safety of an additional program performance grant award in the amount of $21,390. These grant funds will be used to assist in the cost of developing and maintaining the department's comprehensive Emergency Management Program, and more specifically, to assist with coordination and planning of Homeland Security activities. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these grant funds. (See attachment 1, column #4) Department of Social Services 5. The Department of Social Services recently received a reimbursement related to a Medicaid overpayment case in the amount of $8,212. Orange County's share is equivalent to the County's Medicaid match of 5.66 percent of the total or $465. The County will forward the remaining $7,747 to the State as reimbursement of its share of the settlement. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of the settlement funds and allows for reimbursement to the State for its respective share of the settlement. (See attachment 1, column #5) Orange Public Transportation (OPT) 6. At its August 19, 2003 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with Wilbur Smith Associates (WSA) to update the County's Community Transportation Improvement Plan (CTIP) at a total costs of $25,992. The majority of the study is funded through Federal Transportation Administration funds ($20,792) and from North Carolina Department of Transportation funds ($2,600). The 10% required local match ($2,600) is included in the Orange Public Transportation budget for FY 2003-04. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of $23,392 in federal and state funds. (See attachment 1, column #6) Purchasing/Central Services 7. The Purchasing/Central Services Department has received notification from the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (NCACC) of a Risk Management award in the amount of $5,000 to be used for County risk management initiatives. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See attachment 1, column #7) 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 budget ordinance amendments.
