Library Services has received donations of $20,000 from the Friends of the Orange <br />County Main Library and $3,000 from the Friends of the Carrboro Branch Library. The <br />department plans to use these funds to purchase shelving end panels, additional chairs <br />for seating and meeting room equipment, as well as purchase "Kindles" to provide <br />patrons access to this new technology at the Main Library, and to enhance the materials <br />budget at the Carrboro Library.

At its October 19, 2010 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved the <br />relocation of the Parks Operation Base from the current leased space at 503 <br />Cornerstone Court in Hillsborough to the future Millhouse Road Park property. Funds <br />for the stabilization and up-fit of the house and barn, for conversion to a Parks <br />Operations Base, will come from previously approved funding within the Blackwood <br />Farm Capital Project, as well as savings generated due to the termination of the current <br />lease at 503 Cornerstone Court, effective December 31, 2010. With these transferred <br />funds, as well as funds currently available within the Millhouse Road Park project, there <br />are sufficient funds to cover the cost of the Parks Operations Base. This budget <br />amendment provides for the transfer of previously budgeted funds of $14,500 from the <br />Blackwood Farm Capital Project, and $11,590 from Building Rental within the DEAPR's <br />General Fund account to the Millhouse Road Park Capital Project (See Attachment 1, <br />Column 6), and amends the capital projects as follows: <br />Blackwood Farm: (Project # 20000) <br />Revenues for this project: <br /> FY 2010-11 <br />Current Bud et FY 2010-11 <br />Amendment FY 2010-11 <br />Revised <br />Blackwood Farm $2,451,935 $14,500 $2,437,435 <br />Total Project Fundin $2,451,935 $14,500 $2,437,435 <br />Appropriated for this project: <br /> FY 2010-11 <br />Current Bud et FY 2010-11 <br />Amendment FY 2010-11 <br />Revised <br />Blackwood Farm $2,451,935 $14,500 $2,437,435 <br />Total Costs $2,451,935 $14,500 $2,437,435 <br />
