Waupaca County board authorizes $1.2 million in ARPA funds to replace county financial systems
Summary
The Waupaca County Board on Aug. 15 authorized $1,200,000 ($1,186,157 ARPA principal plus $13,843 interest) to replace its legacy financial system, citing Treasury guidance and a Finance Department assessment. Vote: 23-0.
Waupaca County’s Board of Supervisors on Aug. 15 voted unanimously to allocate $1,200,000 from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and related interest to replace the county’s legacy financial system.
The Finance Department recommended the expenditure after a Business Opportunity Assessment concluded that a replacement would create efficiencies and reduce manual processes. The allocation includes $1,186,157 of ARPA funds and $13,843 of interest earned on those funds. The resolution cites review of the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s final rule on eligible ARPA uses. The board adopted Resolution No. 12 by voice vote (Malvik‑Shower moved; Strey‑Hirt seconded). Motion carried 23-0.
The Finance Director was authorized to amend the 2023 budget to reflect the ARPA allocation. The board recorded the expenditure as part of a set of capital and system projects discussed during the meeting’s budget amendments. The minutes do not specify a vendor, contract terms, or an implementation timetable; those details are to be determined through Finance Department procurement and project planning.
The board’s action is limited to authorizing the funds and the budget amendment; no further project approvals or vendor selections were recorded in the meeting minutes. The resolution notes compliance review of Treasury guidance on eligible uses of ARPA funds but does not attach the compliance analysis to the minutes.
