The increase in expenditures is attributed to an increase in expenditures and/or encumbrances in Animal Services due to department having fewer vacancies in the current fiscal year, a modest increase in Operating expenditures, and an increase in Recurring Capital due to the construction of an outdoor dog exercise area in the current fiscal year; increases in Planning/Inspections Department and Orange Public Transportation(OPT) due to increases in additional OPT staff approved by the Board during the FY2015-16 Budget process) and an increase in the Contract Services account within the Operating expenditures; and increases in Economic Development primarily due to being fully staffed in FY2015-16.

The Department of Social Services comprises more than 50% of the human services budget, and is the primary driver of the second quarter expenditure increase, attributed to the renovations to the former Dollar Tree site, child day care, and less staff vacancies, although the percent of budget comparison is lower by 1.4%. The overall percent decrease in the function is also attributed to the OPC Area Program and Library Municipal non-departmental payment timing variance.
