Background and request: County Health Coordinator Amy Rowe and Pearson representative Glenn Hall said the sidewalk project — previously selected for Community Development Block‑Grant funds — experienced increased costs after a second bidding process. Rowe said county ARPA committee members recommended applying unappropriated ARPA funds to cover the overage. Hall said the Pearson town council provisionally agreed to pay one-third of the overage from CDIT (town) funds.
Council action: The council voted to appropriate the $67,201.55 in unappropriated ARPA funds as recommended.
Why it matters: The appropriation allows Pearson to complete the public‑works sidewalk project previously funded in part by county programs and federal CDBG funds.
Next steps: Project work will continue; the county will record the appropriation and coordinate final funding with the town.
