3~ Tom Ward stated that this allocation would leave Orange County $60,000.00 short of anticipated revenues and that the allocation had been made because Frank Porter Graham School had a special project for contracted day care. The Social Service Board approved this project but were not told until last Friday that the Federal match for the pro- ject would come from the County's Federal Allocation. Mr. Ward advised the Board that an objection to this allocation would be filed by the Social Services Board. Mr. Ward advised the Board that if the applications for money that had been filed by the various agencies were not accepted on a State level for funding then the local funds need not be expended. The Board agreed that if State funding was not available for the programs chosen by the Board then County funds would not be expended. Commissioner Walker stated that it was agreeable to him to spend the $10,000.00 allocation among the various agencies' programs as long as the expenditures does not exceed the $10,000.00 County appropriation. Commissioner Whitted stated that he would suggest that Chore Service for Council on Aging be allocated $825.00; CRIB $1,500.00; Joint Orange- Chatham Community Action - Legal Aid, Program $4,000.00; and Orange County Day Care Coalition - Health Support Services $3,350.00 making a total of $9,675.00, plus the other allocation, Joint Orange-Chatham Community Action, Mobile Meals - $6,262.00, making a total of County match $15,937.00. Commissioner Whitted suggested that the Board use $10,000.00 appropriated for Title XX, plus an appropriation of $5,937.00 from the Contingency Fund to make a total of $15,937.00. Commissioner Pinney stated that he would be in favor of considering the use of only the $10,000.00 that had been applied for local match and he suggested that the Board consider each program item separately. Chairman Garrett stated she had talked with the Sheriff and he would be coming before the Board on next Tuesday, August 19, 1975, to discuss personnel problems as they relate to salaries and that she was concerned about the salary question. She stated further that if there were any excess monies she would favor these monies being used for salaries support. Discussion ensued concerning the salaries paid by various law enforce- ment units in the County and the possibility of finding sufficient funds within the current Sheriff's budget. Commissioner Gustaveson pursued the question of what to do about programs that wexe chosen by the Board but not accepted by the State. ` Mr. Ward advised the Board that if programs were not selected for funding then the Board had the choice of requesting other programs to be considered. He stated that he had already advised the State of the fact that Orange Gounty wished to use all Federal funds that had been allocated. Commissioner Finney moved that the Board approve for Council on Aging, Chore Service the amount of $825.00. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Pinney amended his original motion to include CRIB in the amount of $1,500,00 and Health Support Services from Orange County Day Care Coalition in the amount of $3,350.00 totaling $5,675.00. Discussion ensued. Commissioner Walker stated that if $5,675.00 was the extent of the programs expenditures then he would second the motion. Discussion ensued concerning the monies that would be left from the original $1D,000.00 appropriation. Commissioner Walker stated that he felt this money could be used for salary consideration due to the fact that all the program for which funds were being allocated were, in his opinion, duplications of services already being provided by the County. Commissioner Pinney replied that he could not agree with Commissioner Walker because the programs he had considered were, in his opinion, not duplicates of existing programs and that the list reflected his priorities. Commissioner Pinney's motion died for lack of a second,
