The Health Department has received notification of the receipt of Temporary Assistance <br /> to Needy Families (TANF) funds from the State for $7,650.

The Board of County Commissioners approved a $5,000 allocation to the County <br /> Facilities Arts Reserve capital project as part of the FY 2008-09 CIP. These funds will <br /> offset costs of a planned outdoor public art display at the new Orange County Public <br /> Library in Hillsborough.

On June 30 of each year, there are instances where approved funding for certain Board <br /> approved initiatives is not fully expended at the end of the fiscal year, and the <br /> unexpended monies revert to the County's fund balance. In order for the County to fulfill <br /> financial obligations related to these appropriations, the Board must re-appropriate fund <br /> balance in the next fiscal year for these planned expenditures. One such example is <br /> Commissioners agreed during budget discussions in spring 2008 to carry forward <br /> unexpended monies in the County's Critical Needs Reserve from FY 2007-08 to FY <br /> 2008-09. Other examples include human services grant monies committed in FY 2007- <br /> 08 but not expended until the current fiscal year. Completion of prior year's carry <br /> forwards occurs annually following presentation of the County's annual audit. In order to <br /> carry funds forward and authorize their expenditure in fiscal year 2008-09, it is necessary <br /> for the Board to approve the attached amendment.

Funding for the project, at a cost of $617,420, comes from a number of completed <br /> OCS capital projects. This amendment allows for the transfer of funds from the <br /> completed school capital projects to the Orange High Track and Football Field Capital <br /> Project Ordinance for track repairs.
