County staff outline ARPA spending rules and deadlines as part of funding update
Summary
Acting County Manager Claudia Hager briefed the Board on Durham County's $62,445,275 ARPA allocation, reminding commissioners that funds must be encumbered by 2024 and invoices paid by 2026 and that post-2024 contract amendments could affect ARPA eligibility.
Acting County Manager Claudia Hager updated the Board on the county'9s American Rescue Plan Act allocation of $62,445,275 and summarized permitted uses under the U.S. Treasury final rule. She reminded commissioners that ARPA funds must be encumbered by 2024 and that all invoices must be paid by 2026; she cautioned that contract or grant amendments after Dec. 31, 2024, could affect whether expenditures remain ARPA-eligible.
Hager said staff had started a framework for nonprofit funding and that if the Board chose to continue projects with local (non-ARPA) dollars, that approach would not in itself present a compliance problem. The Board asked staff to continue refining guidelines and timelines for ARPA-funded projects.
