Health 5) The Family Planning and Maternal Health divisions of the Health Department have received additional allocations from the State Consolidated Contract. These funds total $12,178 for Family Planning and $1,845 for Maternal Health. The additional monies will purchase educational supplies and offset costs associated with professional contract services and permanent personnel. (see page 5, column #5) 6) Additional Title XIX (Medicaid) funds have been received by the Health Department during the current fiscal year. The additional $43,656 comes from increased reimbursement rates as well as increased numbers of patients. Funds totaling $5,935 will offset costs associated with professional contract services in the Dental program while $37,721 purchased furniture and equipment for the Southern Human Services Center. The attached budget amendment appropriates these grant monies to these divisions of the Health Department (see block #6, page 5) Cooperative Extension (Grant Project Ordinance) 7) The Orange County Cooperative Extension 4-H Program provides a middle school enrichment camp during the summer months. Initially funded in 1996 through a N.C. State University grant, this camp is now self-supported by fees charged to participants, monetary and in-kind funds provided by both of the school systems. All funds associated with the initial grant have been expended. This amendment closes out that portion of the Middle School Enrichment Camp Grant Project Ordinance ($60,000) and leaves a remaining budget of $27,900. (See attached Middle School Enrichment Camp Grant Project Ordinance). Aging 8) The Community Based Services Division of the Department on Aging provides classes at its four senior centers. Fees from the class participants cover the cost of these classes. This year, the revenues generated from these classes will exceed the budgeted amount by around $30,000. This revenue supports additional class expenses. The receipt of these funds and associated expenditures are shown on page 5, column #8 of this abstract. 9) The Senior Health Coordination program has received unbudgeted fees for wellness classes that it offers to seniors. These fees cover the costs of paying instructors associated with the program. This amendment increases the Senior Health Coordination Grant Project Ordinance by $14,835 to reflect the receipt of these fees. (See attached Senior Health Coordination Grant Project Ordinance). OPT 10) Orange Public Transportation has received a supplemental allocation for the Elderly and Disabled Transportation Assistance Program (EDTAP) during this fiscal year.

There is no impact on county funding for this program. 11) The North Carolina Department of Transportation has awarded Orange County $7,845 to assist with Work First/Bmployment Transportation. These funds, accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in February 1998, will purchase employment-related trips for Work First recipients.
