IV. Reports and Discussion with Possible Action A. Approved Budget 2008-2009 In June the Board of County Commissioners approved a county-wide budget for FY 08- 09. The approved budget for the Health Department includes changes to the department’s original request that was presented to the Board of Health in February. The summary of the approved budget was distributed to Board members at the August Board meeting but not discussed. Rosemary Summers said that the personnel increase in the FY 08-09 budget was due to the resumption of wage increase program and cost of living increase that took effect July 1, 2008. B. Capital Improvement Plan 2009 - 2019 The County is beginning the budget process very early this year. The first phase of this is the long-range capital investment plan, usually prepared for a 10-year horizon. It has been several years since the Commissioners have approved a full 10-year plan. Most recently they have only approved the upcoming fiscal year plan. The majority of the capital that the health department requests is operating capital and does not meet the definitions established for inclusion in the capital investment plan. This year, however, with the approval of the Commissioners to move forward with relocating health department services in northern Orange and expansion of space at SHSC, the preliminary worksheets for these projects have been completed. There will be discussions regarding these projects again in October with the Commissioners for projected action before the end of the calendar year. Board members were provided with ledger sheets for these projects, however, the sheets still have many blanks as the estimates are beyond the scope of health department staff expertise. The Board discussed the CIP submissions that have been submitted to the County Manager. • 2009-10: Renovation of office space on the 3rd floor of Whitted when Social Services vacate that space to move to the old Wal-Mart Building.
