The . County's 2005-06 original budget allocated $291,463 in formula funds from the NC Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention for the JCPC. The 2.5 percent reduction in the formula funds resulted in an actual allocation of $283,951 from the Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. This budget amendment provides for the reduction of budgeted funds in the JCPC account in the amount of $7,512. (See Attachment 1, column #8) 9. At its June 7, 2005 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved Chatham County's election to transfer an additional $12,177 in their North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention funds to Orange County for the administration of services. These funds were applied to various agencies funded through the Orange Chatham Justice Partnership agreement during fiscal year 2004-05. These additional funds were again budgeted in the County's 2005-06 Annual Operating Budget. For fiscal year 2005-06, the County's original budget in the Chatham County Reimbursement Juvenile account is $17,194. The County's agreement with Chatham County provides for an intergovernmental transfer of $4,194 for the administration of services through the Orange Chatham Justice Partnership. This budget amendment provides for the decrease of budgeted funds in the Chatham County Reimbursement Juvenile account in the amount of $13,000. (See Attachment 1, column #9) 10. At its February 21, 2006 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the allocation of $5,269 from the Critica! Needs Reserve to fund a 30 percent match requirement to draw down state Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) funds. The JCPC approved funding for the Mental Health Association of Orange County for the amount of $45,585 to provide parent/family counseling to at-risk and adjudicated youth. The County's current contract with the Mental Health Association as an outside agency totals $2,000 and does not meet the 30 percent match requirement. An additional $5,269 is required to fulfill the state matching requirements. This budget amendment provides for the release of $5,269 from the Critical Needs Reserve to fulfill this requirement. With this appropriation, in addition to the above appropriation in item #7, $183,159 remains available in the Critical Needs Reserve for fiscal year 2005-06.
