Page 2 <br /> 8. The Orange County Library became an Orange County department on March 1, 1993. A budget amendment was approved by the <br /> Board of County Commissioners on Februrary 17, 1993 which transferred four months of the Library's budgeted funds <br /> from the Contributions to Outside Agencies function to the Human Services function and established the Library's departmental <br /> budget. Funds from the Regional System as well as from the State grant have been received by Orange County, the Region's <br /> fiscal agent, on behalf of all members of the Region(Caswell, Person and Orange Counties). This amendment will budget <br /> for the receipt of these funds, totalling $101,280, for Orange County and the "pass-through" of funds for Caswell <br /> County totalling $51,052 and Person County totalling $36,241. (See block#8, page 4.) <br /> 9. This amendment will budget a transfer from the Efland Sewer Contruction Capital Project Fund to the Efland Sewer Enterprise <br /> Fund to offset operating costs for the enterprise fund. (See block#9, page 4 and attached Efland Sewer Construction <br /> Fund Capital Project Ordinance.) <br /> 10. The Orange County Department on Aging received a Home and Community Care Block Grant in fiscal year 1992-93. <br /> The receipt of this grant was inadvertently budgeted twice. This technical amendment will correct the double <br /> entry. <br /> 11. The 1992-93 approved budget included, in the Miscellaneous function, an allocation for the employee merit pay system <br /> ($157,357). This amendment will allocate these funds to each function within the General Fund for merits awarded <br /> throughout the fiscal year. (See block#10, page 4.) <br /> 12. The Board of Directors of the Little River and Efland Fire Districts have requested that the Board of County Commissioners <br /> appropriate a portion of their respective fund balances. Little River plans to use their appropriation, along with other <br /> accumulated funds, to purchase a pumper truck. The appropriation for Efland will assist this district in meeting expenditures. <br /> This amendment will appropriate $10,000 of Little River's $12,305 total June 30, 1992 fund balance and$14,771 of <br /> Efland's total fund balance. The attached budget amendment(block#12, page 4) appropriates the above amounts <br /> to each fire district. <br /> 13. The Section 8 Grant program is one of the many users for the Data Processing Department both within <br /> and outside the County organization. Charges for services are made to the Section 8 program through the Data Processing <br /> Enterprise Fund. This $6,000 appropriation from Section 8's fund balance will allow this program to be charged for <br /> its use of the Data Processing services. (See attached Section 8 Program Grant Project Ordinance, page 8.) <br /> 14. During 1992-93, the Orange County Health Department received a grant for the Injury Prevention program. This grant, <br /> totalling $6,720, was used for a program designed to reduce the number of children who were seriously injured or <br /> killed in automobile accidents and in accidental poisonings. Toddler car seats and poison prevention kits <br /> were distributed to parents through this program. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> The Manager recommends that the Board of Commissioners adopt the: <br /> (1) proposed budget ordinance amendments; <br /> (2) Equipment Replacement Capital Project Ordinance <br /> (3) HOME Investement Partnership Program Grant Project Ordinance <br /> (4) Efland Sewer Construction Capital Project Ordinance <br /> (5) Section 8 Program Grant Project Ordinance <br />
