The Health and Dental Fund, which funds employee and retiree health insurance, has <br /> experienced higher activity than budgeted due to a lower vacancy and turnover rate. This <br /> budget amendment recognizes an additional $1,500,000 in health insurance costs, funded <br /> through payroll deductions. This increases the authorization for the Health and Dental <br /> Insurance Fund, outside the General Fund. <br /> 10.The Housing Choice Voucher Fund has received more revenue from the federal <br /> government due to placing more clients into vouchers than anticipated. This recognizes <br /> $250,000 in additional revenue and authorizes expenses in the Housing Choice Voucher <br /> Fund, outside of the General Fund. <br /> 11.The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools District Tax Fund provides all tax revenue by the <br /> special district tax levy generated directly to the school district. That levy is estimated to <br /> generate an additional $500,000 above the original budget. This increases the revenue in <br /> the District Tax Fund, outside of the General Fund. <br /> 12.The County pays monthly fees for document retention and storage in the Orange-Person- <br /> Chatham (OPC) Retiree Health Fund, outside of the General Fund. This amendment <br /> increases the authorization in the fund by $11,000, due to increases in storage costs. <br /> 13.The Sportsplex Fund continues to experience improved revenue performance recovering <br /> from the pandemic. This recognizes $1,000,000 in additional revenue, which will support <br /> inflationary expenses experienced by the Sportsplex, and improves the position of the <br /> enterprise fund. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact <br /> associated with these items. <br />
