County official: final ARPA CD cashed; staff reconciling interest and balances
Summary
At a Haskell County meeting, a county official said the county cashed its final ARPA‑linked certificate of deposit and expects the unencumbered balance to be about $6.25 (units not specified) after outstanding items clear; staff said discrepancies stem from interest not posted under prior administrations and are being reconciled.
At a Haskell County meeting, an official reported the county cashed its final certificate of deposit tied to ARPA funds and that, after outstanding items clear, the unencumbered balance should be "right around the $6.25," the official said.
The official, speaking as Unidentified Speaker 2, said the county moved the matured CD into the general account on the 24th and that the treasurer’s ledger currently shows "$8.95" (units not specified in the transcript). She told commissioners the figures differ in part because prior administrations did not always record interest the same way, creating a discrepancy staff are working to reconcile.
Why it matters: ARPA funds are subject to tracking and reporting requirements, and reconciling balances affects the county’s ability to budget or allocate those dollars for local projects. The treasurer said staff are adjusting encumbrances and spending records to match the treasurer’s and clerk’s ledgers.
Staff said they expect outstanding items to clear by the end of the month; once cleared, the official said the unencumbered figure should be approximately the amount she cited. No formal vote or policy change was taken; the update was provided as an informational item and staff committed to continue balancing and to report back if any material differences remain.
