Council reallocates ARP funds for local projects and repeals overage on completed sewer work
Summary
Council approved shifting American Rescue Plan funds to several local storm‑sewer and culvert projects and voted to repeal $1,189,004.19 in ARP allocation tied to a completed Booneville/New Harmony sanitary sewer project.
Vandenberg County Council on Oct. 2 approved reallocations of American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to multiple local infrastructure projects and repealed an earlier allocation tied to a completed sewer project.
County staff explained that most ARP money previously was obligated, but one large project (Booneville/New Harmony sanitary sewer) returned under estimate and is now complete. Staff proposed moving the freed funds into active projects, including Booneville/New Harmony storm sewer, Woods Avenue drain, the coroner's office line item, and culvert work on Nesbitt Road and Radio Avenue. The staff summary listed ARP line items and a subtotal of roughly $1,000,001.89 for the reallocations.
The council subsequently approved a repeal of $1,189,004.19 tied to the Booneville/New Harmony sanitary sewer project. Staff said the reallocation will allow remaining ARP dollars to be budgeted and projects to be placed under contract before year'end.
What happens next: the county will process the repeal and shift ARP funds into the listed projects so they can move under contract; council approved the reallocations and repeal by voice votes.
