-- AGENDA ATTAC;HMENT 11 November 30, 1978f-�irr'U��c Memo To: Orange County Board of Commissioners From: Neal Evans, Finance Director Subject: Proposed Budget Amendments The attached budget amendment includes: 1 . The formal appropriation of the Grant to the Commission on Women from the N. C. humanities Committee For women's health program and an accompanying donation. 2. Changes identified or omitted in the recently completed audit. a) Commission on Women equipment and Energy Personnel (Professional Services) were items purchased or contracted in the prior year but not picked up in -the year end financial statement as obligations of she County. b) The Municipal Support addition and the entire School Capital Project Budget were intended to be budgeted from funds remaining unspent on June 30, 1978. c) The Special Revenue of $21 ,576 budgeted in the 1978-79 Budget was accrued by the auditors as a 1977-78 revenue and was probably a one--time benefit not to be received again. The Fund Balance is the proposed source for these items sinco= had they been handled correctly prior to July 1 , 1978, the unappropriated Fund Balance would already have been reduced. 3. Increase in funds for Medicaid as required by State Legislation. This was discussed in the meeting of October 2, 1978, and a change was made in the State Budget, but no local amendment was made pending a better look at what the 'impact would be. It is now very clear that Orange's costs will be increased and the Contingency Fund is recommended as a source. 4. The Recreation Director's request that the Special Populations Program be identified separately in the budget. These were funds originally requested, not recommended in the Manager's Budget, restored by the Comm7issioners', and con- solidated with other funds by' the Finance office in preparing the budget. This is a clerical change and no new funds are required. 5. Remaining items previously approved but not clearly shown in the minutes as either appropriated or identified with a source of funding: a) $1 ,400 approved for Hillsborough Industrial Water Project on October 2, 1978. b) Buildings & Grounds: $11 ,000 for Energy activity on November 21 , 1 978. c) ,$1 ,744 for Libraries and $3,500 for JOCCA approved on November 6, 1978.
