Outside Agency Funding: BOCC Feedback and Direction PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Talbert, County Manager, 245 -2308 Clarence Grier, Assistant County Manager /Chief Financial Officer, 245 -2453 PURPOSE: To present the County Manager's recommendations for the FY 2014 -15 Outside Agency Funding Process. BACKGROUND: The County Manager's Office annually solicits funding applications from the Outside Agency community. In January 2014, the County received 52 applications with requests totaling $1,497,252, an increase of $438,152 above the current year's appropriation. Finance and Administrative Services Staff distributed applications to staff and advisory board groups for review (Attachment A). County Department Directors and their advisory boards received applications related to their functional areas. Representatives from Cardinal Innovations Healthcare Solutions -OPC reviewed mental health agencies; the Employee Committee evaluated community -based service agencies that did not align with a particular County department (e.g. Communities in Schools). Recommendations made by the advisory groups were for consultative purposes only. The County Manager reviewed agency applications and advisory board feedback, then consulted with County Management Staff and proposed appropriations. All parties used the Board of County Commissioner's (BOCC) guiding principles, adopted in December 2010, to evaluate programs and propose funding recommendations (Attachment B). For FY 2014 -15, the County Manager recommends funding for 41 agencies totaling $1,074,100, a net increase of $15,000 above the current year's appropriation. The FY 2014 -15 Manager's Recommended Operating Budget contains a complete list of funding requests, recommendations and agency narratives within the Outside Agency section (page 369).
