Committee unanimously approves amended ARPA reallocation correcting amount to $126,255

The Finance and Personnel Committee unanimously approved an amended resolution Dec. 12 to reallocate American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funds tied to the Marsh lead contamination project, and referred the measure to the full council.

Council Member Newman moved a technical amendment to correct the dollar amount in Resolution 241598. "Yes, just before the meeting we had a update that the amount of money being discussed is actually going to be a $126,255, and we'd like to, adjust the resolution to represent that amount rather than the 127,000, so it'll be an amendment for that correction. I'd like to move for that amendment," Newman said. Council Member Schwartz seconded the amendment, and the chair called the vote; the amendment passed unanimously.

After no further comments on the amended resolution, the committee proceeded to vote on the measure as amended. The chair called the final vote and announced, "Yes, unanimously, thank you." The committee recorded the resolution as approved and referred it to the full council for consideration. The meeting was then adjourned.

Details reported in the meeting record were limited to the amendment correcting the dollar amount and the committee's unanimous approval; the transcript did not specify additional details about program implementation, specific spending categories, or which committee members cast individual votes beyond those named during the meeting.
