These funds, totalling$4,132, will be used for the purchase of Norplant systems and Depro Provera to meet client demand for these forms of contraception. (See block#1, page 2). 2. The Orange County Health Department has received additional funding in the amount of$9,326 to support the Maternal and Infant Outreach Project. These funds will be used to support operating expenses of this program. (See attached Maternal and Infant Outreach Program Grant Project, page 3.) 3. At the December 7, 1992 Board of County Commissioners meeting, the Board adopted a resolution authorizing the Chair to sign the Annual Contributions Contract(ACC) for the Section 8 Existing Certificate Program. This attached grant project ordinance represents renewal of one of the eight projects included in the Section 8 Existing program. This project includes funding for 161 housing units. The attached grant project ordinance increases this project by $507,467. The additional funding is for continued operation of the County's present Section 8 program and does not represent funding of new units. In addition, this grant project ordinance increases the Voucher Program budget by $1,183 to agree with the amounts received from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in the latest renewal. (See attached Section 8 Block Grant Program Grant Project Ordinance) 4. On April 20, 1993, the Board of County Commissioners approved a request from the White Cross Volunteer Fire Department to appropriate $11,170 of the department's unappropriated fund balance. The department plans to purchase turnout gear, battery chargers for fire trucks and an air compressor. The balance remaining in this department's fund balance after this appropriation is $10,722. (See block#4, page 2). RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board of Commissioners adopt the proposed budget ordinance amendments, the Maternal and Infant Outreach Program Grant Project Ordinance and the Section 8 Block Grant Program Grant Project Ordinance.
