County staff reports $6.9M ARPA balance; $1.2M purchase needs Treasury documentation
Summary
An ARPA update at the May 11 work session reported a $6.9 million net balance, about $5.1 million recorded in the general ledger, $1.5 million unrecorded, an obligation under $320,000, and that a $1.2 million purchase of the Sharon Avenue property must be documented with the Treasury before year-end spending deadlines.
Easton Laitila, speaking to the Houghton County Board of Commissioners on May 11, said the county’s ARPA obligations are under $320,000 and the net ARPA balance is approximately $6.9 million. He told commissioners the general ledger shows about $5.1 million in ARPA spending while roughly $1.5 million of ARPA-related commitments are not yet recorded in the ledger. Laitila said ARPA funds must be committed and documented by Dec. 31, 2026.
Laitila also said that $1.2 million already spent to purchase the Sharon Avenue property needs to be properly documented with the U.S. Treasury. He reported about $1 million in ARPA funds remaining available for allocation but did not provide a detailed line-item breakdown in the session.
The presentation did not include Board action; commissioners will consider ARPA allocations through future agenda items and budget processes.
