Hall County approves rural transit contract; board to use ARPA for first‑year county match
Summary
The Hall County Board approved a contract with Holiday Express for rural transit services, agreeing to cover the first year county match (~$67,000) from ARPA and noting the program is largely reimbursable (estimated total service value ~$408,000 with a 90/10 reimbursement structure).
The Hall County Board approved a multi‑year contract with Holiday Express to provide rural transit services and agreed to fund the county’s first‑year local match from ARPA funds.
Staff estimated the overall program would cost about $408,000 annually with the county’s local share roughly $67,000 in year one; the majority of operating expense is expected to be reimbursed at a 90/10 (federal/local) rate. Commissioner (S12) moved to approve the contract as presented and to use ARPA funding to cover the first year’s county portion; the motion passed on a recorded vote.
County attorneys and staff noted the contract is multi‑year and that ongoing funding and invoice timing will be monitored. Commissioners discussed fixed costs associated with running transit and the need to ensure adequate invoicing early in the contract year to draw ARPA funds as allowed.
