The Department on Aging has received funds totaling $1,305 from Triangle J Council of <br />Government for an Elder Mistreatment Prevention Education project aimed at educating <br />service providers to recognize signs of abuse and neglect. These funds will be expended at <br />the direction of the Orange County Elder Mistreatment Coalition, which is co-sponsored with <br />the Triangle J Ombudsman program. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of <br />these funds. (See Attachment 1, column #1) <br />Library Services <br />2. In a June 2004 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners approved a County <br />appropriation of $2,000 to cover half the cost of consultant services to determine the space <br />requirements and estimated cost of a new library headquarters facility which will adequately <br />address community needs and priorities for library services and meet accepted public library <br />standards, using a 15-20 year planning time frame. Consulting services will also include an <br />analysis of issues raised by the possibility of combining the library headquarters with a <br />community college library, with recommendations regarding a joint use library facility, and <br />identification of potential needs for other library facilities in the county within the same <br />planning time frame. This appropriation was contingent on the library receiving matching <br />funds of $2,000 from other sources to pay for the remaining costs. The Library has received <br />donations in the amount of $2,000 from the Friends of the Library to cover the 50% match <br />for the consultant fees. This budget amendment. provides for the receipt of these donated <br />funds for this purpose. (See Attachment 1, column #2) <br />
