Council approves $11,134 in remaining ARPA funds to replace city computers
Summary
Cherokee Village council unanimously approved Resolution 20247 to spend $11,134 in remaining ARPA funds (including $138 interest) to replace outdated computers and software for administrative, mayor's office and street department operations.
Cherokee Village's City Council unanimously approved Resolution 20247 authorizing the appropriation of $11,134 in remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to buy replacement computers and software for city administration and the street department.
The resolution text cited ARPA as providing relief funds and noted the city's computers and software were outdated. A motion to approve was seconded by Councilmember Mr Tatum and Mr Martin; the clerk conducted a roll-call and each recorded member voted in favor. "...it's the remaining ARPA dollars it's 11,134 and that includes the interest which is $138," the mayor said when presenting the resolution.
Council members did not tie this purchase to ongoing budget shortfalls; several members later noted ARPA funded other one-time capital purchases this year, such as vehicles and fire apparatus. The resolution passed by roll-call and will allow staff to proceed with purchasing replacement equipment under municipal procurement rules.
