2 This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these additional state funds ($18,904) to be used in the current fiscal year for the above stated purposes. (See Attachment 1, column #1) Non - Departmental 2. The NC Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention recently awarded an additional allocation of $3,467 in pass- through funds for the County's Juvenile Crime Prevention Council (JCPC) program. The additional funding brings the total Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention funds received by the County for the current fiscal year to $291,463. The JCPC recommends allocating these funds to Hillcrest Youth Shelter ($2,967) and Orange Dispute Settlement Center ($500). In order to receive the additional funds, Orange County is required to make a 30 percent match towards program expenses. Since the County's approved budget for fiscal year 2003 -04 provides funding for the Orange Dispute Settlement Center through the County's outside agency process, the required match for that agency has been met. However, the additional allocation to the Hillcrest Youth Shelter will require a County match of 30 percent ($890). This amendment provides for the receipt of the additional Department of Juvenile Justice pass- through funds in the amount of $3,467 and provides for the County's required match to Hillcrest Youth Shelter through a transfer of $890 from the County's currently budgeted Social Safety Net. (See Attachment 1, column #2) 3. For a number of years, Orange and Chatham County have jointly offered juvenile justice and delinquency programs through the Orange Chatham Juvenile Justice Partnership. Chatham County has received $2,500 from the North Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention funds to provide intensive psychological services to court- involved youth. Chatham has agreed to pass their funds to Orange County for contract administration. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of a portion of Chatham County's juvenile justice pass- through funds of $2,500 for these purposes. (See Attachment 1, column #3) 4. This budget amendment transfers funds from the Non - Departmental function to the Governing and Management function to implement the Board's action as to the Manager's performance review for 2003 -04. The Board of Commissioners' has completed the Manager's performance review for 2003 -04 and decided to adjust his salary from $136,110 to $142,916 effective February 16, 2004. This salary adjustment provides the equivalent of the salary increases granted to eligible employees during 2003 -04 with implementation of Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the Classification and Pay Study. This budget amendment enacts the adjustment to the Manager's salary effective February 16, 2004 and authorizes funding for the cost of the adjustment for fiscal year 2003 -04. (See Attachment 1, column #4) Cooperative Extension 5. For a number of years, Cooperative Extension has offered a Breastfeeding Support/Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). Until this year, the program was funded with federal monies. In December 2003, Cooperative Extension received notification that the federal funding would be eliminated this spring. At that time, the BOCC approved a request from Cooperative Extension to allow the program to continue until the end of the current fiscal year. Funding for the continuation, estimated to be $35,000, would come from the County's Social Safety Net at an estimated cost of $35,000.
