Recipients are required to submit written program reports that include: goals, description of activities/challenges, revisions of timelines/budgets, and other relevant information. Funded projects are monitored for progress and performance, financial and administrative management, and compliance with the terms of Performance/Development Agreement(s). Monitoring may involve site and/or office visit(s). For fiscal year 2018-19, Orange County received applications from 59 agencies. The requests totaled $1,828,491, an increase of $462,750 above fiscal year 2017-18. The FY 2018-19 County Manager’s Recommended budget includes funding awards for 50 agencies with a total of $1,401,173; an increase of $35,432 from FY 2017-18 Commissioner Approved Budget. The County Manager’s recommended funding levels are based on scoring completed by each advisory board. Agencies scoring between 90% and 100% received 30% of their requested increase. Agencies scoring between 80% and 89% received 15% of their requested increase, and agencies scoring between 70% and 79% received 10% of their requested increase. Agencies with scores of 69% and below are not recommended for an increase in funds. Consistent with the continuation budget approach, no new agency requests were recommended for funding. Based on the County Manager’s Recommended Budget, less the appropriation for education expenses, 1.2 percent equates to $1,400,896. Please refer to the Outside Agency section (Pages 399-411) of the FY 2018-19 Manager’s Recommended budget for discussion of Outside Agency funding. In addition, see Attachment 1 for an Outside Agency Funding Requests Book, which includes the Purpose/Mission, Program, Proposed Services, Performance Measures, and Agency Budget for each Outside Agency.
