Waupaca County Board authorizes acceptance of $9.89 million in American Rescue Plan funds
Summary
The Waupaca County Board on April 20 authorized acceptance of an estimated $9,889,197 from the American Rescue Plan Act and certified the county will use the funds in compliance with federal requirements.
On April 20, 2021 the Waupaca County Board of Supervisors voted to accept the county’s estimated allocation of $9,889,197 under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (H.R. 1319) and authorized certification to the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury that funds will be used in compliance with the law. Supervisor P. Craig moved the resolution and Supervisor Dave Wengelski seconded; the motion carried without a negative vote.
The resolution cites that the Treasury will distribute county aid in two equal tranches and summarizes that 50 percent was to be paid not later than 60 days after enactment with the second tranche not earlier than 12 months after the first payment. The Finance Committee recommended introduction.
The board’s action authorizes acceptance of the allocation and the administrative certification required by the Treasury; the resolution does not specify how the county will allocate the dollars across programs or capital projects. The motion record states only that the county’s estimated allocation is $9,889,197; specific internal allocations, timing of expenditures, and any follow-up budget actions were not specified in the meeting record.
The board voted on several other routine measures during the same session, including zoning amendments and a donation acceptance; none of those items altered the resolution accepting ARP funds. The board adjourned at 11:01 a.m.
