Commission approves ARPA allocations including $250,265 childcare package; details and some amounts unclear in transcript
Crawford County commissioners approved three ARPA spending motions: a $2,400 county allocation; a request for electronic medical records funding described in the record as “5,004 100” for a health response; and a larger childcare package described in the transcript as $250,265.07 that the staff said includes several subrequests.

During the meeting, staff read the items from the work session. The first approved item was a county ARPA spend identified as $2,400. The second was described by staff as a health‑response request for electronic medical records, with the transcript capturing the amount as “5,004 100” (the record does not clearly render separators or exact cents). The third and largest ARPA item was presented as a childcare package totaling $250,265.07 and reported to include multiple subprojects.

County discussion separated the childcare package into components. The transcript lists a Family Resource Center request of $72,289.20 and a $177,480.47 allocation identified in the meeting as for Washington School. A Sugar Creek request was discussed and motions were made to approve that component, but the transcript’s numeric wording for Sugar Creek was unclear (the line was transcribed as "$495" in a fragment and elsewhere staff referred to separate Sugar Creek amounts). One commissioner said he did not personally support the underlying project although he was satisfied with the billing package; the commissioner nevertheless did not block payment.

Motions for each ARPA item were made and seconded; commissioners recorded affirmative action in the meeting. The transcript does not include a full roll‑call vote or a clear, single line‑item accounting for each subaward beyond the figures read aloud.

Because some dollar amounts in the transcript were recorded unclearly, the county’s official minutes and award letters should be consulted for precise award amounts and any conditions attached to the funds.
