Curry County officials scramble after Treasury flags $2.7 million in unreported ARP funds
Summary
County finance staff told commissioners they discovered the Treasury had not received reporting accounting for roughly $2.7 million of American Rescue Plan (ARP) fiscal recovery funds; staff are tracing records back to 2021 and expect an update by early February.
At a Jan. 9 Curry County Board of Commissioners meeting, county staff told commissioners an email from the U.S. Department of the Treasury showed the county had reported only $1,734,964.84 of American Rescue Plan (ARP) fiscal recovery funds while $2,717,947.16 remained unaccounted for.
The discrepancy was presented by Kina, who reported she received the Treasury notice and began a line‑by‑line review of county records. "we were given 4,400,000.0 little over $4,400,000 of, American Rescue Plan dollars," Kina said. She told the board that Treasury's records show the county had received two roughly equal deposits in early 2021 but that county financial records contained only one journal entry for those deposits.
