The Orange County Library has received additional literacy grant funds of $500 from the <br />Wal-Mart Foundation. These grant funds will be used to support the department's bilingual <br />(Spanish/English) story time programs by paying a bilingual storyteller to promote reading <br />and to provide books in Spanish and English for children and families. These programs are <br />offered twice per month on Saturdays. There is no County match for the receipt of these <br />funds. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See Attachment 1, <br />column #1). <br />Department of Social Services <br />2. The Department of Social Services (DSS) has received a reimbursement of $6,723 from the <br />State for a child that was in Orange County DSS custody prior to adoption. A child was <br />discharged from the hospital in March 2002 and placed into foster care. The foster care <br />costs were paid by Title IVB-State and Local funds from March 2002-April 2003. The Social <br />Security Administration -Supplemental Security Income (SSI) division has just ruled on the <br />case filed by DSS for the child, and it was determined that the child was entitled to the full <br />SSI payments. This budget amendment provides for the receipt of these funds. (See <br />Attachment 1, column #2) <br />
