County approves multiple grant carryovers and budget amendments, including ARPA and tourism funds
Summary
Washington County approved several budget amendments and grant carryovers: ARPA technical assistance funds, a countywide infrastructure resiliency grant, CDBG housing carryover items, and remaining arboretourism/tourism grant funds.
Washington County approved a set of budget amendments and grant carryover motions to move remaining funds into the 2025 spending plan.
County staff reported multiple small carryovers and recommended moving those funds into the current year’s budget. The board approved moving $25,000 of ARPA technical assistance funding allocated to the Lake Champlain–Lake George Regional Planning Board into the 2025 budget to allow the regional planning board to spend the amount within grant timeframes.
The committee also approved moving $197,750 into the countywide infrastructure resiliency grant budget; staff said that grant had begun late in the prior year and required the carryover. The transcript references a CDBG housing tranche of roughly $400,000, of which about $100,000 had already been spent and the remainder would be drawn down as NRDC submitted invoices. Finally, the board approved moving $335,352 that remains in an ARC/arboretourism tourism fund into the current budget; staff expects roughly $200,000 of that to be spent in 2025 and the balance to carry into 2026.
Each motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote in the committee; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting excerpt. Staff will proceed to adjust the county budget and coordinate with administering entities to draw down the funds per grant rules.
