Wake <br /> County is currently in the process of revisiting and updating this, and the outcomes will remain <br /> unknown for several months. Regardless of any updates, Orange County may not be able to <br /> match Wake's rate of funding due to the significant differences in available funding resources <br /> between the two counties. <br /> Durham County was asked to share funding for this position — as shown on the tables — and the <br /> request was not approved by the Staff Working Group. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The amendment impact for FY26 is $37,908 on the approved FY26 <br /> Orange County Annual Work Program. <br /> 2.
