Heard County Finance Director Felicia Adams presented a pre‑audit financial report at the July 27, 2021 meeting and informed the Board that American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds come with federal and ACCG guidance on allowable uses.
Commissioner David Walls requested a work session to review ARP funding rules and to provide more education for the Board before allocating funds.

Chairman Boone acknowledged the guidance that accompanies ARP funds and the Board recorded Walls’s request; no formal ARP allocations were voted on at the meeting.
