They have recovered over $121,000 in bad debt previously written off through the Debt Setoff Program. 7.

Parks and Recreation requested approval of a contract amendment between the County of Harnett and Western Harnett Youth Recreation for the youth recreation programs in western Harnett County.

The Board of Commissioners had approved $65,000 to be allotted to Western Harnett Youth Recreation during the FY 09 -10 Budget. 9. The Harnett County IT Department requested premission to use the sole source purchasing option to upgrade their current Enhanced 911 Telephone System. This system is used to answer 911 emergency calls. Embarq, now known as CenturyLink, has been their Enhanced 911 Emergency Telephone Service Provider since 1993. Certain components of their current system are no longer supported under their maitenance contract. The recommend that CentruryLink upgrade their current Enhanced 911 Telpehone System for a toal cost of $310,715.51. This upgrade has been budgeted for in the Enhanced 911 Budget Fund 240 as a capital lease for 3 years. This upgrade is funded 100% from 911 surcharge fees. There is a substantial technical risk in contracting with another vendr for this service due to the way the sytems aer interconnected. Having one vendor for all major components of the E -911 phone system is highly desirable. 10. The Finance Department requested approval to receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (AARA) of 2009 funding for Congregate and Home Nutrition services in the amount of $38,821. Due to this ARRA funding and because Harnett County does not have a waiting list for nutrition services, Mid - Carolina Area Agency on Aging recommends that Home & Community Care Block Grant funding allocations be adjusted as follows: Congregate Nutrition, $20,334 decrease; Home Delivered Nutrition, $10,487 decrease; DOA In -home Aide, $15,000 increase; DSS In -home Aide, $15,000 increase; Home Improvement, $821 increase. 11.
