Background Board of Elections 1. The Orange County Board of Elections has received a $9,000 State grant to help implement the National Voter Registration Act. These monies will enable the department to purchase hardware and software to further automation efforts. This budget amendment, shown on page 3, box 1, requires no additional County money for fiscal year 1994-95. Department of Social Services 2. New Family Support initiatives have prompted the State to enhance and expand its AFDC Day Care program. Guidelines regarding payment of daycare providers have also been revamped. The County can now pay the subsidies directly to the providers if the parents so choose. This amendment, which requires no County match, budgets the estimated funds ($200,000) necessary to implement this payment initiative. (See box 2, page 3) Health Department 3. The Orange County Health Department has received Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) grant funds for the October 1994 to September 1995 period. These funds, totalling $70,146, will enable the department to continue its "Health Check" Coordination pilot project. The attached grant project ordinance budgets for the receipt of these funds. 4. The Orange County Health Department has received notification from the State Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources that an additional $1,243 over the budgeted amount of $18,086 for the Immunization Action Plan has been allocated to the County.
