1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: November 10, 2016 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 1 <br /> SUBJECT: Discussion of Outside Agency Funding Target and Funding for Non-Profit <br /> Capital Needs <br /> DEPARTMENT: Finance and Administrative <br /> Services <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Bonnie Hammersley, (919) 245-2300 <br /> Attachment A: Bond Counsel Gary Donaldson, (919) 245-2453 <br /> Communication <br /> PURPOSE: To discuss potential Outside Agency Funding Targets and funding of Non-Profit <br /> Capital Needs. <br /> BACKGROUND: The FY 2016-17 Approved Budget includes funding awards for 55 outside <br /> agencies totaling $1,176,763. This amount includes $83,530 for 12 new or previously unfunded <br /> agencies. <br /> Each year, Outside Agencies submit funding applications to the County detailing program <br /> requests. These programs are reviewed by Advisory Boards and scored on a scale of 0-100 <br /> based on the following criteria: <br /> • What is the program's Mission? <br /> • Who are the program's Customers and what does the customer value? <br /> • What are the program's Results? <br /> • What is the program's Plan for implementation and improvement? <br /> As a part of the budget development process, Outside Agencies applications and scorecards <br /> are provided to the County Manager to assist in recommending decisions as part of the <br /> Manager's Recommended Budget each year. The Board of County Commissioners then <br /> approves final funding amounts as part of the Budget Adoption process in June. Performance <br /> Agreements are executed for each funded Outside Agency, and funding allocations to the <br /> agencies are provided on a quarterly basis throughout the fiscal year. <br /> The Finance staff has surveyed other local governments in North Carolina to review other <br /> funding target options for Outside Agencies. <br />
