Commission approves purchases and invoices; staff says ARPA funds were reallocated to police wages
Summary
The commission approved purchases and payment of invoices; staff noted a previously planned project originally to be partly ARPA-funded was moved and ARPA dollars were reallocated to police wages, so the current purchases come from this year’s budget.
Mount Clemens commissioners approved the purchases and payment of invoices presented by staff and took up related budget questions.
City staff reminded the commission that a project originally slated to be partly funded through ARPA had its ARPA allocation diverted to police wages; as a result, the invoices under consideration will be paid from the current fiscal year’s budget. The city manager confirmed the expenditures would be charged to this year’s budget and not deferred.
Commissioner remarks during the item noted that some of the approved payments include road repairs such as work on West Brighme Place. The motion to approve purchases and payments passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
The action was an administrative approval of invoices and did not create a new policy; staff acknowledged the ARPA reallocation to police wages.
