2 <br />Department on Aging <br />2. The Department on Aging has received unanticipated and unbudgeted fees totaling <br />$14,400 for the Senior Health program. Increased participation in wellness classes has <br />generated $12,000, and "Fit Feet" clinic has generated $2,400. The department will use <br />these funds to offset costs of providing the classes. (See Attachment 1, Column 2 and <br />Attachment 3, Senior Citizen Health Promotion Program Grant Project Ordinance) <br />3. This amendment corrects the budgets for two multi-year county grant projects within the <br />Department on Aging: the Senior Health Coordination Program and the Senior Net <br />Program. These project accounts were not closed after the Munis conversion in 2003 <br />leaving a net deficit of $5,443. This budget amendment remedies the deficit situation by <br />appropriating $5,443 from fund balance in the multi-year grant project fund where these <br />projects were located. (See Attachment 1, Column 3) <br />Orange Public Transportation <br />4. The department has received $18,200 from the Triangle Transit Authority (TTA). These <br />monies would offset costs of public shuttle routes operated by OPT. (See Attachment 1, <br />Column 4) <br />Solid Waste Equipment Financing <br />5. On September 4, 2008, the County entered into a Board approved debt-financing <br />arrangement totaling $1,191,638 for Solid Waste equipment. Included in the financing <br />was Solid Waste Enterprise Fund equipment at $846,021 and General Fund Sanitation <br />equipment at $345,617. Approved equipment included a hook lift truck, two front loading <br />garbage trucks and a landfill compactor. This amendment provides for the receipt of the <br />loan proceeds as revenues and the offsetting expenditures for the equipment. Annual <br />debt service payments of $678,850 for the Solid Waste Enterprise Fund and $276,460 <br />for the General Fund related to the financing will begin in FY 2009-10. The FY 2009-10 <br />annual operating budget includes funding for debt payments. (See Attachment 1, Column <br />5) <br />Human Rights and Relations <br />6. In past years, Orange County has accounted for Human Rights and Relations federal <br />Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant funds in the General Fund. Current <br />federal accounting standards, however, require grant recipients to account for these <br />monies separate from the General Fund. An amendment approved by the Board on <br />August 16, 2008 moved HUD monies received prior to the current fiscal year from the <br />General Fund to the new grant project. Similarly, this amendment moves HUD monies <br />for the current year grant from the General Fund where they were originally budgeted to <br />the Grant Project Fund. The amount of the grant funds totals $26,586. Beginning with <br />FY 2009-10, all Human Rights and Relations HUD grant monies will be budgeted directly <br />in the new grant project.
