Also present were <br />representatives from the County school system and representatives <br />from the Chapel Hill-Carrbora school system. <br />The Chairman referred to Item 1 on the agenda: The <br />Manager recommends the Board approve the attached year end budget <br />amendments. These amendments require no additional County <br />funds. The agenda attachment stated the proposed budget amendments <br />are generally to provide sufficient funds in the areas that have <br />been exceeded in the course of on-going operations. The increases <br />are in line with the items estimated to be overspent in the budget <br />amendment to provide funds in the EM5 capital fund far microwave <br />equipment. The equipment is to be purchased at the original bid <br />price and under the terms of the original proposal by Motorola, Inc. <br />Upon motion of Commissioner Pinney, seconded by Commissioner <br />Willhoit, it was moved to approve the budget amendments as presented <br />by the County Manager. <br />Discussion ensued. In addition to the presented budget <br />amendments, four departments have requested the transfer of funds <br />to provide greater opportunities for expanding accrued.~:,year end <br />balances. These transfers are not included~in the proposed <br />amendment. <br />Jezry Robinson, Health Director informed the Board that he <br />proposed to use $10,000 of the fund balance for the purchase of <br />supplies and equipment which have been ordered since the first of <br />May. Also, $10,000 is being proposed for the purchase of two <br />vehicles for use in the Health Department. He stated that the <br />Health Board had projected several months ago a fund balance of <br />$10,000 and it has been proposed for some time to use this <br />balance for the purchase of two vehicles. <br />The Finance Director stated to the Board that the supplies <br />and equipment, if approved, will be paid from this year's budget; <br />however, other arrangements will have to be made regarding the <br />twe autos. He stated that items ordered prior to June 30th are <br />encumbered against this year's budget. Regarding the purchase of <br />autos, this is a new item and is a request for an additional amount <br />from the coming year's budget, since autos cannot be purchased <br />before the end of the fiscal year. <br />The Chairman called a vote on the motion to approve the <br />presented budget amendments. All members of the Board voted aye <br />an the motion and it was declared passed. <br />For budget amendments, see page 656 of this book. <br />Discussion continued regarding the request of the Health <br />Director to purchase two vehicles for that Department. <br />
