Officials report ARPA, ARC and well‑project updates; reimbursements and paperwork pending
Summary
Speakers reported that ARPA reimbursements are ready to start but forms and a packet from a contact named Alton remain outstanding; the ARC $1 million grant is moving forward and well projects are bid with Morrow Water Technologies expected to proceed after ADM clears administrative steps.
At a recent local meeting, participants received updates on multiple grant and water‑system projects, with officials urging follow‑up on paperwork needed to release reimbursements.
Speaker 5, identified in the record only by number, reported that "Everything's still fine with our ARPA grant" but that the reimbursement form had not yet been provided: "He told me he was gonna send me the reimbursement form so I could start putting in for reimbursements for some of the engineer fees, and he didn't do it." Speaker 5 said they would follow up with Bill this week and, if necessary, call the office number to reach someone else at the firm.
On the ARC grant, Speaker 5 said, "The ARC grant, that's the the million dollars. It's still rolling along," and that Heath is in weekly contact to add required contact information and forms. The speaker also described an "emerging contaminants" fund to support drilling wells on the east side, saying that project activity could begin after the first of the year.
Speaker 5 added that the well project had been bid in early 2024 and that Morrow Water Technologies won the bid. The engineer named in the record, Dave Bechtel, indicated the contractor would honor 2024 pricing once ADM and related administrative steps move the reimbursement requests forward.
Why it matters: ARPA and ARC funds and the emerging‑contaminants work are intended to expand and protect local water supplies. Delays in paperwork and missing packets could delay reimbursements and project startup.
What was not specified: The transcript does not identify ADM’s full name or role, nor does it include the full names or titles of 'Bill' or 'Alton.' Specific reimbursement amounts and exact start dates were not provided.
Next step: Speaker 5 said they will re‑contact Bill and Alton to obtain the missing forms and packet so reimbursement requests can be filed.
