Orange County, North Carolina The County revised the budget on several occasions. Generally, budget amendments fall into one of four categories: 1) amendments made to adjust the estimates that are used to prepare the original budget ordinance once exact information is available, 2) carryover of funding for outstanding purchase orders at year-end related to significant commitments and projects, 3) amendments made to recognize new funding amounts from external sources, such as Federal and State grants, and 3) increases in appropriations that become necessary to maintain services. In 2012, an additional appropriation from fund balance during the year of $2.2 million was provided additional funding for school related capital projects. Total amendments to the General Fund increased appropriations by approximately $7.0 million. Proprietary Funds.
