6 <br /> Commissioner McKee asked for clarification of the requested increase. He said that <br /> slide #13 showed what appeared to be one dollar as the requested increase for some fire <br /> districts. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley clarified that it is not a one dollar requested increase but is a one <br /> penny increase. <br /> Commissioner McKee said he wanted to clarify because Damascus fire district shows a <br /> current rate of$0.1080 and a recommended rate of$0.1180, which is one penny. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said that in the future, staff would show the increase differently to <br /> make it clearer. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley continued the presentation: <br /> Slide #14 <br /> F 022-23 RECOMMENDED BUDGET <br /> A ERIGAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) <br /> Fifc District P25 Phase II Compliant lfidio Replacement 51,-,3,200 <br /> FI07-15WS Lrx-itni S,ifi,39i <br /> Housing 1`IeIpLie S205,090 <br /> L:1rltllu[C3IrlCcrlCi'sc 1}iirLrn�tlt�,�JL��J <br /> Sioadband la Cmtrumuc Design and ImplerneutRuon 55,000,000 <br /> Housuig(EHA"WkiRAD) 1 $4,797,643 <br /> Total $12,372,828 <br /> • If Reror�unended&�ulger is�ppio�-ed,� ior�ritfite3s ,8���ou rentauts a;-a�]ab3e <br /> + P-mxnnuii&d Budget also includes SS?O,UCU in General Fiuui resotuces to begin the <br /> tssnsition troin RPA to sustainer e,ongoing 1'[T[nfle. <br /> ORANGE COUNT' <br /> ."IFM r CARk A INA <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked for clarification on the statement on slide #14 that the <br /> "Recommended Budget includes $570,000 in General Fund resources to begin transition from <br /> ARPA." She asked if that meant things the county used ARPA for last year are now in the <br /> general budget. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said staff identified essential programs and positions that will <br /> continue after ARPA funds are expended. She said the county is phasing out reliance on <br /> ARPA for those programs and positions. <br /> Chair Price asked for clarification of the amount of ARPA funds remaining. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said $4.8 million in ARPA funding remains. <br />
