dd-�1 4L <br /> j6/20; 2 <br /> Potential Uses for Social Safety Net <br /> The list on the following pages outlines State cuts that the County has experienced in <br /> the past year or anticipates to experience in the upcoming fiscal year. The General <br /> Assembly continues to deliberate the State's 2002-03 budget, and it is likely that the <br /> County will face additional cuts once the State budget is adopted. In anticipation of <br /> these cuts, the Manager has included a reserve of$110,000 in the recommended 2002- <br /> 03 budget (Miscellaneous Function, beginning on page 12-23 of the Manager's <br /> Recommended Budget document) to cover some of the cuts that may come our way. <br /> The "reserve" was created by re-allocating funds from the Department of Social <br /> Services ($70,000) and the Child Care Challenge Grant ($40,000). <br /> Since the General Assembly has not adopted the State's budget, this is not intended to <br /> be an all-inclusive list of cuts for next year. It is also important to note that the State <br /> budget proposes significant cuts for Orange-Person-Chatham Mental Health. It is not <br /> clear at this point, how much the cuts will total and what the impact will be for OPC. As <br /> the State deliberates further and adopts the budget, staff will provide additional <br /> information to the Board. <br /> Page 1 <br />
