County updates ARPA spending and remaining priorities, flags childcare and comprehensive-plan payments
Summary
Officials reported Crawford County received $7.54 million in ARPA funds, has spent $6.63 million, and identified remaining allocations that include public-health response, a comprehensive-plan contract payment and $658,183 for childcare-related projects.
County staff gave the commission an update on American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) spending and remaining allocations. The presenter said the county received $7,539,941 in ARPA funds and, including recent submissions from Cherokee, has spent $6,633,070 with the remaining balance to be obligated before the federal spending deadline next year.
Staff flagged several remaining items: roughly $119,000 under public-health response; an outstanding payment to a contractor listed as "Green Bush" for the comprehensive plan; turnkey items still to be completed; and a childcare allocation shown as $658,183. Commissioners asked staff to verify Cherokee’s entries after recent submissions and to confirm the figures before final approvals.
The presenter characterized the report as an interim accounting of progress and asked commissioners to note timing constraints—remaining ARPA funds must be expended by the federal deadline. No formal vote was recorded on these line items during the meeting; the report was presented for information and follow-up.
