This amendment provides for <br /> the receipt of$2,200 in unbudgeted revenues. (See Attachment 1, column #4) <br /> 4. Orange Public Transportation (OPT) has received notification from the North Carolina <br /> Department of Transportation for additional funds to support rural transportation <br /> programs. The funds, totaling $54,347, are aimed at expanding public service in rural <br /> areas. No County match is required in order for the County to receive these funds. (See <br /> Attachment 1, column #5) <br /> 5. On February 19, 2002, the Board of County Commissioners accepted a $10,000 grant <br /> from the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management to fund a multi-county study <br /> for evacuation needs that result from terrorism activity. The grant focuses on a feasibility <br /> study for evacuation of a six county area along 1-40 from Johnston County to Guilford <br /> County. No additional County funds are required for the receipt of these funds. (See <br /> Attachment 1, column #6) <br /> 6. On June 30 of each year, certain designated appropriations are not fully expended. <br /> Many of these are related to outstanding purchase orders, where goods and services <br /> have been ordered but not yet received and/or paid. In accordance with the annual <br /> budget ordinance, funds for these outstanding purchase orders are automatically re- <br /> appropriated in the new fiscal year's budget. Other appropriations are not fully expended <br /> at the end of the fiscal year because there are no outstanding purchase orders. Funds <br /> for these planned, but unencumbered expenditures, are set-aside at year-end as a <br /> reserved portion of fund balance. In order to carry these funds forward and authorize <br /> their expenditure in fiscal year 2001-02, it is necessary for the Board to approve the <br /> attached amendment (see Attachment 1, column #7). <br /> 7. The approved 2001-02 budget included, in the Miscellaneous Function, an allocation <br /> totaling $ 484,275 for elements of the employee pay plan including in-range salary <br /> increase, meritorious service awards, and equity retention funds. This amendment <br /> allocates these funds to functions within the General Funds for awards given throughout <br /> the fiscal year. (See Attachment 1, column #8). Through this amendment, the Board <br /> also confirms actions taken during the year to hire employees at salaries above Step 5D <br /> of the salary range. Hiring someone at a salary above Step 5D requires Board of <br /> Commissioners' approval.
