Kane County panel approves a series of small ARPA reprogramming and grant-amendment measures
Summary
At a special Kane County American Rescue Plan meeting, the committee approved multiple resolutions reallocating modest ARPA funds and approving grant amendments; members described the changes as largely accounting reallocations and approved each item by roll call.
The Kane County American Rescue Plan committee met in a special session to approve several resolutions that reprogrammed American Rescue Plan (ARPA) funds and amended existing grant agreements.
Chair called the meeting to order and led a roll call. Committee staff presented the ARPA quarterly report and offered to answer questions; no members requested public comment.
All items were presented as routine reallocations or first/second amendments to existing agreements. The committee approved each item by roll call. Chair characterized one of the items as “merely an accounting change.” Feinstock, the staff member who addressed the committee about the quarterly report, said, “If you have any questions on the report, I’d be glad to answer.”
