The Health Department recently received a $43,000 State grant for a new "Syphilis Elimination <br /> Project". Recently, several North Carolina counties, including Orange County, have experienced <br /> outbreaks of syphilis. Funds will be used to provide assess populations who are at risk for syphilis, <br /> offer sexually transmitted disease counseling and testing, provide weekly risk reduction sessions at <br /> local jails. The Health Department will hire a temporary outreach worker and provide outreach <br /> supplies with the grant funds. The associated agenda abstract from the January 28, 1999 Orange <br /> County Board of Health meeting is attached. No County match is required for the receipt of these <br /> funds. (see attached Syphilis Elimination Grant Project Ordinance) <br /> Sheriff <br /> 2. On February 16, the Board of County Commissioners re-established a permanent full-time Deputy <br /> Sheriff I position for the Sheriff s Department. This COPSFAST position was deleted from the 1998- <br /> 99 budget when the grant funds lapsed. Since that time, the Sheriff has received $15,000 in <br /> continuation funds from the U.S. Department of Justice for this position. The total cost of the position <br /> is about $36,000 annually. The County will assume the cost difference in the actual position cost and <br /> the grant(about$21,000) for fiscal year 1.998799, and 100%of the position cost in fiscal year 1999-00 <br /> (see column #2, of the attached budget amendment). <br />
