The Orange County Arts Commission has received an "Arts in Education" grant from the <br /> North Carolina Arts Council. This grant will allow the Arts Commission to partner with the <br /> Orange County School system and implement a "pilot" curriculum development program to <br /> support teachers and provide artist stipends. New Hope Elementary School is the host <br /> school for the "pilot" program. No County match is required in order to receive this grant. <br /> This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds (column 1, Attachment 1). <br /> Solid Waste/Landfill Operations Fund <br /> 2. On June 30, 2000 of each year, certain designated appropriations are not fully expended. <br /> Many of these relate to outstanding purchase orders, where goods and services have been <br /> ordered but not yet received and/or paid. In most instances, 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. As the Board may recall, the Solid <br /> Waste/Landfill Operations transition happened very late in the 1999-00 fiscal year. In this <br /> instance, there were two outstanding purchase orders that should have been re-budgeted in <br /> the Solid Waste/Landfill Operations Fund but were not. Funds to cover the outstanding <br /> amount of $23,505 reverted to fund balance in this particular fund. In order to re-budget <br /> these funds and authorize their expenditure in fiscal year 2000-01, it is necessary for the <br /> Board to approve the attached amendment (see column #2 of Attachment 1 of this abstract). <br />
