ARP program lead details two-year state budget snapshot; Bluebeam licenses reimbursed by state
Summary
The ARP presenter outlined a two-year budget split for state reporting, noted that some county-owned building costs are reimbursed by DEQ, and said four new Bluebeam licenses (~$1,200 annually) will be covered by state reimbursement.
At 11:00 the ARP program representative explained the office is preparing a two-year budget for the state and splits it into annual snapshots for county reporting. She said the spreadsheet breaks costs into categories—office supplies, sampling and inspection supplies, outreach, hotline, and rent—and that some items reflect county-owned building use reimbursed by the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) rather than direct county expense.
Software and reimbursements: The presenter said the office purchased four updated Bluebeam licenses to replace end‑of‑life software and estimated the annual cost for the four users at about $1,200; she confirmed that the state will reimburse the purchase. She also described carryover construction items from a prior MOU—staging yard work and a covered storage area—that remain budgeted but will be pursued after planned relocation to port property behind the museum.
Accounting and next steps: Commissioners and staff discussed how the ARP spreadsheet will transfer into the county accounting program and confirmed reimbursements are reflected in the general fund. The presenter said the listed two‑year costs are allocated into annual snapshots for DEQ reporting. The meeting concluded with adjournment after the ARP presentation.
