~+~D,7 MINUTES ORANGE COUNTX BOARD OF COMM255IpNERS JUNE 22, 1977 The Orange County Board of Commissioners met on Wednesday, June 22, 1977 to continue the budget discussions for the 1977-1978 Orange County budget. Those present were Chairman Richard Whitted, Commissioners Norman Gustaveson, Jan Pinney, Norman Walker and Donald Willhoit. Staff members present were S. M. Gattis, County Manager, Neal Evans, Finance Director, and Agatha Johnson, Clerk to the $oard. Chairman Whitted called the meeting to order and referred to a sheet presented by the Finance director of the proposed changes made in the budget, which is a continuation of the sheet dated June 13, 1977. This sheet shows a balance of $9,664 required to balance the 1977-78 budget. The County Manager stated that $4,638 could be deducted from personnel which would leave a total of $5,026 to balance the budget. The Chairman asked that the Board hear from Rick Poole, Administrative Assistant in the Social Services Department, regarding a matter concerning the Frank Porter Graham School. Mr. Poole presented to the Board a letter of agreement for the Frank Porter Graham Day Care Contract under Title XX with the County. He stated that the Social Services Department had received verbally from the State notification that the State had approved up to $50,000 in 100 percent day care monies for this contract for the period of May 1, 1977 through September 30, 1977. These funds require no local match. This action will allow the Social Services Department to cut down on the budgeting of Title XX monies for next year. This agreement is an extension of the present contract until September 30, 1977, and is a modification of the existing contract to allow for the change in funding from Title XX to 100 percent monies. Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner Gustaveson, it was moved and adopted to approve the letter of agreement for the Frank Porter Graham Day Care Contract under Title XX with the County. Chairman Whitted referred again to the budget and stated that there was $5,026 monies still unaccounted for. Commissioner Willhoit stated that he still would like to add $10,000 to the Municipal Support Recreation budget and $10,000 to the Planning Department. The Chairman reminded the Board that the Finance Officer had stated that there would be between $S,OOD and $10,000 left in the Municipal Support fund balance from last year. The Board had talked about reappro- priating the fund balance to the Municipal Support. Commissioner Walker stated that he would not agree to this, that he did not agree to putting monies into andther municipal over which the Bounty has no control. Commissioner Willhoit stated that this was not an ideal situation and that the County should work to bring about equity in funding recreation programs in the County as well as planning in the recreation area. The Chairman stated that a meeting would be scheduled with the Recrea- tion Advisory Council very soon. Commissioner Willhoit asked that the representatives from the two school systems comment regarding the proposed $350 per pupil and the current expense and capital outlay allocations. Dr. Norman Weatherly, Chairman of the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School Board, stated that the capital outlay cut would affect the long range planning for the school system. He spoke of the affect the cut would have on the schools' current expense budget, such as longevity pay for
