Jim Wells County closes ARPA account, transfers $35,030.69 in interest to general fund
Summary
County Auditor Cindy Garcia told commissioners that all ARPA project obligations are complete; the court approved closing the ARPA account and transferring $35,030.69 in remaining interest earnings to the county general fund.
County Auditor Cindy Garcia told the Jim Wells County Commissioners Court on Feb. 27 that the county has completed reconciliation of its American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fund and that all eligible projects and obligations have been recorded. "At this time, the ARPA fund reflects a remaining balance of $35,030.69," Garcia said, recommending the fund be closed and the balance transferred to the county general fund.
The court voted to approve the auditor’s recommendation. Garcia said the office worked with the county's grant administrator to confirm records and that there are no outstanding expenditures to address before closing the account. The judge and commissioners recorded the motion and approved the transfer by voice vote.
The transfer applies only to interest earnings remaining in the ARPA account; Garcia confirmed that program expenditures previously authorized from the ARPA allocation have been completed and documented. The county did not specify any further reallocation of those transferred interest funds during the meeting.
