Orange Chatham Justice Partnership 3. Chatham County has elected 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 will be applied to various agencies currently funded through the Orange Chatham Justice Partnership agreement. This amendment provides for the receipt of a portion of Chatham County's juvenile justice pass through funds in the amount of $12,177 for these purposes. (See Attachment 1, column #3) Governing and Management — Non - Departmental 4. At its April 19, 2005, the Board of County Commissioners approved an appropriation from Commissioners' Contingency of up to $10,000 for a supplemental agreement with the firm of Robert S. Segal that will produce various comparisons of educational resources available to the two school systems that were not addressed in the March 2005 Educational Excellence Report. With this $10,000 appropriation, $32,000 remains in the Commissioners' Contingency for FY 2004 -05. (See Attachment 1, column #4) Emergency Telephone System Fund 5. At its May 17, 2005 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners awarded an RFP for the purchase of a GIS Map Display Software System from Sprint of Hickory, North Carolina in the amount of $43,485. Of this amount, $10,000 will be reimbursed by Public Safety Foundation of America grant funds. The BOCC originally approved a $33,100 grant from the Public Safety Foundation of America on February 17, 2004, and this software purchase is all that remains to be purchased for partial reimbursement related to the original grant award. The remaining portion of the costs ($33,485) will be made from an appropriation of fund balance from the Emergency Telephone System Fund. This budget amendment provides for the re- budgeting of $10,000 in Public Safety Foundation of America grant funds, and for an appropriation of $33,485 from the Emergency Telephone System's fund balance. (See Attachment 1, column #5). Soccer Superfund Capital Project Ordinance 6. At the regular meeting on May 3, 2005, the BOCC decided to allocate between two projects the $1,025,000 remaining from 2001 voter - approved Recreation & Park Bonds for the Soccer Superfund. $375,000 of that amount, for construction of two fields, will be added to $975,000 in Soccer Superfund money already approved for the West Ten Soccer Park, bringing the total of that capital project ordinance appropriation to $1,350,000. The BOCC also decided to allocate $650,000 towards the development of soccer fields at Twin Creeks Park. The accompanying capital project ordinances will appropriate these new funds to the two respective soccer field projects. The existing Soccer Superfund Capital Project Ordinance will be closed out as of June 30, 2005.
