Livingston County reallocates $4.24 million in ARPA funds to reimburse payroll costs
Summary
The Board approved reallocating $4.24 million in previously obligated ARPA funds to reimburse a portion of 2024 payroll, citing eligibility under Treasury rules; the Treasurer will update federal reporting.
At its May 13 meeting the Livingston County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution No. 2026-172 to reallocate $4.24 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) fiscal recovery funds to reimburse the county for a portion of its 2024 payroll expenses.
Supervisor Dwight Knapp presented the resolution, saying the reallocation reflects changes in previously planned project needs. The resolution cites 31 C.F.R. Part 35 and related Treasury guidance (Final Rule and Obligation Interim Final Rule) as governing the eligible use and modification of ARPA funds.
The board recorded the roll call as Ayes-4,405; Noes-0; Absent-Cates, Walker and Davis; the measure was adopted. The resolution directs the Livingston County Treasurers Office to ensure reporting in the Treasury Project and Expenditure portal accurately reflects the modification.
The resolution notes the county had been awarded $12.2 million in ARPA funds and previously obligated $4.24 million to internal department projects; the reallocation moves that $4.24 million to an eligible payroll reimbursement category ahead of the Treasury obligation deadline.
Implementation tasks assigned in the minutes include Treasurer's office reporting obligations; the resolution does not specify which payroll lines or departments will be reimbursed beyond referencing 2024 payroll generally.
No public testimony on the ARPA reallocation was recorded in the minutes. The decision takes effect as adopted on May 13, 2026.
