The County's Soil and Erosion program has been awarded a$10,000 grant from the North Carolina <br /> Sedimentation Control Commission. These monies will be used by Orange County staff to conduct <br /> formal experiments concerning sediment basins at Penn State University in the near future. The <br /> experiments will compare performance of experimental sediment basins with conventional basins. The <br /> goal of this project is to develop and eventually adopt new standards for sediment basin design that will <br /> improve effectiveness and reduce costs. The attached "Sediment Basin Experiment Grant Project <br /> Ordinance"reflects the receipt of these funds. <br /> Department of Social Services <br /> 2. The Orange County Department of Social Services has received Child Day Care reallocation from the <br /> State. These funds,totalling$53,226,will enable this program to assist additional eligible families in <br /> Orange County. This reallocation,reflected on page 3,block 2 of this budget amendment,brings the <br /> total fiscal year 1994-95 Day Care budget to$762,066. <br /> 3. The Income Maintenance program has automated its intake division. In the past,client information was <br /> manually gathered by caseworkers and forwarded to clerical personnel for data entry. Computer <br /> hardware and software,which enables client intake and update information data to be directly entered by <br /> caseworkers, has been purchased. The Department recently received an unanticipated reimbursement <br /> from the State for this purchase. Block 3 on page 3 reflects the receipt of this reimbursement. <br />
