2. Outside Agencies: Recommended Allocations FY2015-16, Pg. 354 Allison Chambers, Budget and Management Coordinator, reviewed the following information: In January 2015, the County received 57 applications with requests totaling $1,591,515, an increase of$488,915 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 2015-16, the County Manager recommended funding for 43 agencies totaling $1,054,400, a net decrease of$48,200 above the current year's appropriation. The FY 2015- 16 Manager's Recommended Operating Budget contains a complete list of funding requests, recommendations and agency narratives within the Outside Agency section (page 354). Recommendations: 1) One (1) agency has been recommended for FY 2015-16 funding increase, totaling $82,000: Community Home Trust is requesting an increase in operating funding to enable the organization to successfully manage 230 permanently affordable homes in their inventory. Increase amount calculated using formula adopted as part of an interlocal agreement with the municipalities approved April 21, 2015. 2) One (1) new agency received funding recommendations, totaling $2,000 for FY 2015-16: Fairview Community Watch will use funds to hire monitors that would support park activities for the Fairview Community Park during the period from June — September 2015. 3) One (1) agency is recommended for a $35,200 funding reduction for FY2015-16: Communities in Schools will receive this reduction funds to reflect the 122 Orange County Schools afterschool students that this agency will not be serving in FY2015-16. In addition, the Boys and Girls Club of Eastern Piedmont did not submit a FY 2015-16 funding request. The agency received a $2,000 appropriation in the current fiscal year. The award received by Pretrial Services in FY 2014-15 was reallocated to the Sheriff Department Budget for FY 2015-16. Commissioner Dorosin asked if there was a particular impetus for the reduction in the overall outside agency funding. Bonnie Hammersley said yes and it was in order to maintain the funding the same as it was in 2014-15. Commissioner Jacobs asked if the details regarding applications came to the Board on CD.
