Background Visitors Bureau Fund 1. At their November, 1994 meeting,the Chapel Hill/Orange County Visitors Bureau Board approved a revision to their 1994-95 budget. The amended budget reflects a one time award of$30,000 from the Town of Chapel Hill in support of the Visitors Bureau operation.

The total requested budget amendment of$44,804 (see box#I on page 2)will be used for additional collateral materials and marketing activities. County Capital Projects Fund 2. At the February 6, 1995, meeting,the Board of County Commissioners approved a request from the Orange County Rescue Squad and the South Orange Rescue Squad to provide matching funds for rescue equipment grants approved by the Department of Insurance. The Board approved an appropriation of $30,000 from the County Capital Project Fund Balance, with $10,000 being appropriated to each Squad to match the Department of Insurance grant,and the remaining$10,000 to be used for high priority rescue equipment/training to support the centralized resource concept.
