25 <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Amendment 26 (Increase funding to Orange County Rural Alliance (OCRA) by $5,000 to <br /> assist in funding meal deliveries in rural areas of the County) <br /> Commissioner McKee said this organization was formed due to gaps in Meals on <br /> Wheels, and it is expanded the number of people it is serving. He said he knew he would <br /> oppose many amendments tonight, and was reluctant to put one of his own forward, but he <br /> considers providing food to those who need it as a worthy item to consider. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if OCIM or Chapel Hill Meals on Wheels have requested <br /> more money. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he has only been approached by OCRA. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if OCRA is receiving money via the outside agency process. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said no one was fully funded by the outside agency process. <br /> Commissioner Price said she thought these contracts had been pulled out and were <br /> working with the Department of Social Services (DSS). <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said the money given to OCIM and IFC was not for meals. <br /> Nancy Coston, DSS Director, said at the end of last year, the BOCC put some money in <br /> for food delivery with the OCIM and OCRA contracts with DSS. She said this was a one time <br /> thing, and the agencies both went through the outside agency process this year, were graded, <br /> and received allotted funds. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner McKee to approve this amendment. <br /> NO SECOND <br /> MOTION FAILS <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said the Board needs to let the outside agency process work. <br /> 2.

The impact <br /> of these numbers changed the CHCCS % from 60.73% to 60.14%, and changed the <br /> OCS % from 39.27% to 39.86%. <br /> • The Solid Waste Capital Projects had a change in funding sources as included in the FY <br /> 2019-20 Manager's Recommended Operating Budget.
