10 <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said his amendment is in reference to the operational budget. <br /> He said he believes the Sheriff's Office has realized a savings over the past year with SROs not <br /> being assigned to schools. He said this reduction is consistent with conversations held last <br /> summer, and looking at how policing is done in Orange County. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked what criteria was used to identify which departments, like <br /> the Sheriff's Office, would not have to comply with the reduction. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said social safety net departments were not required to cut. She <br /> also said the Sheriff is an elected official, and she usually leaves it up to other elected officials <br /> to make decisions on that budget. <br /> Commissioner Bedford explained her amendment. She said her concern for funding for <br /> the Piedmont Wildlife after school program is that students are already served by after school <br /> programs at their schools, and instead of extra options for some students, she would like to <br /> focus efforts for those who do not have any options at all, when prioritizing the ARPA funds. <br /> She said the Board has talked about moving the focus to the earlier preschool years, and this is <br /> going in the other direction and opens floodgates for other schools to request extra funding. <br /> She said department requests do illustrate the need for ARPA dollars for the basics, and even <br /> though it is only$9,000, every dollar should be used for emergency funding. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin said the schools mentioned by the program serve the highest <br /> number of non-white students, particularly Stanback and New Hope, which primarily serve <br /> Latinx students. He said there may be a need for more resources in these schools. He said <br /> some schools have a high percentage of low wealth students and need additional resources. <br /> Chair Price added that not all children have access to, or want to be part of, the existing <br /> after school programs at schools. She said if there is an audience in those schools for further <br /> enrichment that they would not normally get, she is in favor of more options. She recalled the <br /> Commissioners previously reached a general consensus that since the outside agencies went <br /> through a vetting process, Commissioners would take the recommendation as is from the <br /> County Manager. <br /> Slide #17 <br /> 0RAN G E COUNTY FY2 21-22 BU DG ET <br /> Jni.dnrd I G� a P-1 .rt I M I A.—k I Gmrral fu"r I—,I",d I <br /> rw� rw� vod <br /> 5pl'6t <br /> 21•220PjH4 lomma6'r_rrti NoA.
