24 Commissioner Willhoit requested that the Commissioners be informed of the time of the subcommittee's meeting to consider hiring an.~admini- strator for the District Health Department. Commissioner Gustaveson moved for the enthusiastic support of the request to appropriate $6,000 from the District Health Department's budget for an additional school nurse, and that provisions be made in the forthcoming budget for this position. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Willhoit. The Chairman called for the vote on the motion and all members of the Board voted aye. The motion was declared passed. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 4: Ms. Marilyn Tyroler will request the Board of Commissioners provide $1,500 to fund the CRIB Pro- gram for the October-December quarter. Ms. Frances Muth, of the CRIB staff, stated that CRIB is a corpor- ated home for mother and their babies who have no other place to live. She stated that CRIB had been funded since May of 1974 with 314-D funds and United Fund. The 314-D funds are no longer available. Ms. Muth requested $1,500 from the County to continue the CRIB program through the months of December and January of 1977. She added that CRIB would seek other sources of funding for the month of February and the remainder of the year. Discussion ensued concerning the budget of the CRIB Program. Ms. Tyroler of the Social Services Department, spoke of the value of the CRIB Program. She stated that the program was a very inexpensive program which used the coordinated services of the community. She added that at the end of January, $3,500 would be available through United Fund. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Willhoit, it was moved and adopted to appropriate $1,500 from the Contingency Fund to the CRIB Program. The Finance Director was requested to provide the Board with a proper budget amendment. (For copy of Budget Amendment see page 31 of this book.) Mr. Gustaveson asked that the CRIB accountant clarify the budget and to state clearly just where the money appropriated by the County was going. It was pointed out that the CRIB Program was a public service and that no one was turned away. The recipients are encouraged to seek employment and to repay monies .used for their care. Chairman Whitted referred to Item 5: Appointments A. A first alternate should be named to the Orange County Board of Adjustment. Commissioner Willhoit asked why alternates were needed, why not expand the Board to ten members. The County Manager stated that if the Board was expanded, it would increase the quorum and the difficult was attendance of members. Commissioner Gustaveson suggested that this appointment be deferred until the next meeting at which tuns the Board wotild look at the list of persons applying for the Advisory Planning Council. He added that perhaps one of these persons would be interested in serving on this Board as an alternate. B.
