Clerk flags $160,000 estimate for mandated election equipment; court discusses ARPA funding
Summary
Fleming County Clerk presented mandated purchase of new election equipment estimated at $160,000; the Fiscal Court discussed using ARPA funds to cover the cost and approved the clerk's reports.
Fleming County Clerk Fritz informed the Fiscal Court on March 14 that federally and state-mandated new election equipment is estimated to cost about $160,000. The court approved the clerk's February monthly report and an amended fourth-quarter 2022 report.
The minutes record discussion of the estimated equipment cost and note that ARPA funds were discussed as a potential source; the court did not record a formal vote to allocate ARPA funds for the purchase at this meeting. The court did approve other transfers and budget amendments that affect available fund balances.
No vendor, specific equipment model, timetable for purchase, or final funding decision is recorded in the minutes; the clerk's presentation served as a notification to the court and the matter remains pending further action.
