<br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in special session on
<br />Thursday, March 23, 1978 at approximately 7:30 p.m., at Poppa Joe's Restau-
<br />rant in Hillsborough. This meeting was with the Orange County Social Ser-
<br />vices Board and Supervisors for the purpose of reviewing that department's
<br />1978-1979 budget.
<br />Commissioners present were Chairman Richard Whitted, Norman Gustaveson,
<br />Jan Pinney, Norman Walker,. and Donald Willhoit.
<br />Social Services Board members present were Chairman Clem Johnson,
<br />Jan Pinney, D. W. Lambert, Mae McLendon and Joanne Carl.
<br />Others present were S. M. Gattis, County Manager, Neal Evans; Finance
<br />Director, Tom Ward, Social Services Director, Francis Whitt, Social Ser-
<br />vices Supervisor, Deanna Bullard, Supervisor, Jahn Hughes, Supervisor,
<br />Martin Whitt, Supervisor, Marilyn Tyroler, Supervisor, Rick Poole, Admini-
<br />strative Officer in the Social Services bepartment, Joe Bradshaw, County
<br />Administrative Assistant, and Agatha Johnson, C1erk'to the Board.
<br />The Social Services Director opened the meeting by stating that the
<br />time schedule for this year's budget is the same as before. The County
<br />Commissioners should approve a tentative budget which must be presented to
<br />the State by April 15, 1978. Mr. Ward presented to the Commissioners copies
<br />of the proposed State budget forms and the proposed County budget for the
<br />Social Services Department.
<br />He reviewed with the two Boards the proposed Administrative budget on
<br />the State forms.
<br />The total number of positions shown for the Department is 60.5. It
<br />was pointed out that last year's budget showed the total number of posi-
<br />tions as 100.5. Mr. Ward explained the difference in this year's budget
<br />and last year's is the Chore Service employees. Last year, 38 employees
<br />were shown in the fatal number of positions and this year those 38 employees
<br />are not shown in the administrative budget, thereby using $100,000 less of
<br />Title XX monies. He explained that when the 38 Chore Service employees are
<br />included, this weights the entire budget heavily in Title XX funds. This
<br />is a new procedure now used in North Carolina and does conserve Title XX
<br />monies. Mr. Ward stated his department was attempting to deliver the same
<br />Chore Service during 1978-79 as was delivered in the past year. This year,
<br />the Social Services Board is budgeting $180,000 for Chore Service which is
<br />the level of expenditure.
<br />Mr. Ward pointed out that 33 employees axe supported by Title XX Funds.
<br />Commissioner Willhoit asked Mr. Ward for a breakdown of in-county
<br />travel of Social Service employees compared to out-of county travel.
<br />Mr. Ward stated that the majority of travel was within the County and
<br />amounted to approximately 95 percent.
<br />The bottom line figure in the Administrative budget for Title F.X funds
<br />this year is $553,597. Last year's figure was $584,000. For County
<br />pazticipation under Title XX, a figure of $167,924 is projected, compared
<br />to the County cost of $170,763 in the administrative budget during 1977-
<br />.. 1978.
<br />The County cost for the Family Planning Pzogram far 19.78-79 is pro-
<br />jected at $1,139 which is the same as last year.
<br />The County cost for the W1N program is projected at $6,056 compared
<br />to last year's total of $1,746.
<br />The C[4A (Non Title Xx) Service is budgeted at $4,413. The 1977-78
<br />cost was $2,948.
<br />The Other (Local Only) projection for 1978-79 is $1,888. Last Year's
<br />figures were $191.
