Brooke County agenda lists $238,894.16 ARPA transfer and $18,525.43 EMS budget transfer
Summary
The Jan. 7, 2025 Brooke County Commission agenda includes an in-house ARPA transfer of $238,894.16 and an EMS/Ambulance transfer of $18,525.43; the agenda lists the items for consideration but does not state any final action.
The Brooke County Commission’s Jan. 7, 2025 agenda includes two in-house budget transfers: an ARPA funding transfer totaling $238,894.16 and an EMS/Ambulance transfer of $18,525.43, both listed for commission consideration.
Those items appear on the printed agenda as transfer requests; the document gives the amounts but does not specify how the ARPA funds would be allocated or the precise uses for the EMS transfer. The agenda does not record any vote results or specify whether the transfers were approved during the meeting.
Local officials have increasingly used ARPA balances for one-time projects and priority service needs; the agenda entry provides no department-level detail or proposed contract text to clarify intended spending. The absence of further information in the agenda means the commission’s next step (discussion, amendment, or vote) is not specified in the meeting materials.
The agenda also lists other budget- and procurement-related items, including a separate listed purchase for an ERB Electric cell dialer for a fire panel for EMS at $736.00 and an EMA vehicle procurement (see separate agenda lines). Those are shown as discrete agenda entries and contain either a dollar amount or a sealed-bid notice but no procurement award language.
The agenda items were listed for the Jan. 7 meeting; the agenda does not indicate any final outcome or timeline for implementation.
