BACKGROUND: 1. The Orange County Department on Aging has received donations, totalling $1,100, from Duke Power and the Chapel Hill Sertoma Club. These funds will be used to purchase fans for older adults in Orange County. This amendment will budget for the receipt of these funds. (See block#1, page 3). 2. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has awarded Orange County's Coordinated Agency Transportation (CAT) program a grant of$4,688 which will allow the purchase of five mobile radios for vehicles. This amendment will budget these funds in the Equipment Replacement Capital Project. (See attached Equipment Replacement Captial Project Ordinance, page 5). 3. During 1992-93, the demand for programs offered through the Department on Aging's Senior Centers was higher than originally anticipated. This demand has generated additional revenues, totalling$3,650, for this department during this fiscal year. This amendment will budget for the receipt of these additional funds. (See block#3, page 3). 4. The Board of County Commissioners recently appropriated funds from the Contingency account. On May 18, funds were awarded to Orange Community Housing Corporation($696) for reimbursement of required sedimentation and erosion control permit application fees. On June 7, funding in the amount of$10,000 was awarded to Orange Enterprises to help alleviate this agency's anticipated 1992-93 year end deficit. This amendment will allocate these funds to the appropriate agencies. (See block#4, page 3). 5. Each year Orange County receives money from the State for scrap tire disposal fee collections. These funds are passed on from Orange County to the Town of Chapel Hill and are used in association with the Landfill Owner's Group. This amendment will budget for the receipt of$53,176 in scrap tire disposal fees. (See block#5, page 3). 6. During 1992-93, the Sheriff's Department continued operation of two revenue generating programs which benefitted inmates - a pay telephone system and a canteen service. Due to an increase in the number of inmates housed in the Jail, additional revenues, totalling $21,000, are anticipated for these two programs. The receipt of these additional revenues and associated expenditures will be budgeted with this amendment. (See block#6, page 3). 7. In October, 1992, the Orange County HOME Consortium received an award of$803,600 in HOME Investment Partnership Program funds. These funds will be used for acquisition, housing rehabilitation, and new construction activities in Orange County. The attached grant project ordinance will establish this program and budget for the receipt of these funds. (See attached HOME Investment Partnership Program Grant Project Ordinance, page 6).
