Summary
Florence County Council member Willard Dorriety Jr. signed a proxy delegating his vote on Resolution No. 30-2024/25, which would authorize the expenditure of $4,700,884 in American Rescue Plan Act funds under U.S. Treasury guidance; the proxy covers the Dec. 12, 2024 council meeting.
Willard Dorriety Jr. left a signed proxy delegating his vote for Approval of Resolution No. 30-2024/25, which would authorize the expenditure of Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty-Four Dollars ($4,700,884.00) of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds in accordance with the U.S. Treasury final rule. The proxy form states the vote is to occur at the regular County Council meeting on December 12, 2024.
The proxy text reads in part, "I hereby leave my voting proxy for the question of Approval of Resolution No. 30-2024/25; A Resolution To Provide For The Expenditure Of Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand Eight Hundred And Eighty-Four Dollars ($4,700,884.00) Of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds ..." and thus establishes the council agenda item and dollar amount that will be considered. The transcript provides no record of the council vote or allocation breakdown; the proxy only delegates Mr. Dorriety's vote. The outcome of the council's consideration of Resolution No. 30-2024/25 is not recorded in this document.
Authorities referenced in the proxy include the U.S. Treasury's ARPA guidance as the controlling federal rule for allowable expenditures; the document itself does not list implementing line-item allocations or departments responsible for spending. Council members reviewing the resolution would need the staff report or agenda packet for the Dec. 12 meeting for program-level detail and funding distribution.
