002 <br /> • National Family Caregiver Support Program - funds totaling $25,672 to <br /> provide support to individuals who are the primary caregivers of frail older adults <br /> through the Caregiver Day Out program, in-home respite, and support group staff <br /> for counseling support groups. <br /> • Donations — receipt of funds totaling $15,000 for FY 2012-13 from the Friends of <br /> the Seymour Center, the Friends of Central Orange Senior Center and the <br /> Triangle Sportsplex to continue after hours service two evenings (5-9 p.m.) per <br /> week at Central Orange and two evenings (5-9 p.m.) and some Saturday hours <br /> (9 a.m.-1 p.m.) at the Seymour Center through the use of non-permanent <br /> personnel. <br /> This budget amendment provides for the receipt of the above mentioned funds. (See <br /> Attachment 1, column 1) <br /> Department of Social Services <br /> 2. This year the Department of Social Services will assume responsibility for <br /> guardianships. In the past this service was provided through Orange-Person-Chatham <br /> (OPC) Area Program. OPC has decided to no longer provide this service given the <br /> merger with Piedmont Behavioral Health. The cost of the guardianship support is <br /> $15,000 for approximately seven cases and will be transferred from the OPC budget to <br /> the Social Services budget. This budget amendment provides for the transfer of <br /> $15,000 from the OPC Area Program budget to the Department of Social Services for <br /> FY 2012-13. (See Attachment 1, column 2) <br /> Miscellaneous <br /> 3.

The County's final review occurred in FY 2011-12 and the cost <br /> for covering the adjustments (up to $60,000) was included in the Approved FY 2012-13 <br /> Budget within the Governing and Management Non-Departmental section. Most of the <br /> positions in the third review were determined to be appropriately classified, but a total of <br /> 26 positions were reclassified at a total General Fund cost of $84,597, which reflects <br /> both the salary and benefits impact. This budget amendment provides for the allocation <br /> of $60,000 from the Pay and Classification Study Non-Departmental account, and <br /> appropriates fund balance of $24,597 from the General Fund to the affected employees' <br /> departments to cover the total costs.

The department spent a total of <br /> $27,012 for the project. North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) <br /> received a request form the Orange Grove Fire Department for reimbursement cost for <br /> the driveway construction at Station #2.
