Board obligates $89,915 in ARPA funds for prosecutor software, payroll platform and GIS upgrades
Summary
The Van Buren County Board of Supervisors on Oct. 14 adopted Resolution 10-14-2024 to obligate $89,915 of ARPA funds for Prosecutor by Karpel software ($29,515), annual Pay Solutions licenses/support ($45,000) and GIS/Web Map license upgrades ($15,400).
The Van Buren County Board of Supervisors voted Oct. 14 to obligate $89,915 of American Rescue Plan Act funds for three county technology needs. The resolution, approved on a 3-0 roll call, lists $29,515 for Prosecutor by Karpel software, $45,000 for Pay Solutions, Inc. annual licenses and support, and $15,400 to upgrade GIS and web mapping licenses.
Supervisor Richards moved the resolution and Supervisor Meek seconded it; Chairman House, Meek and Richards each voted aye. The resolution notes the county received two ARPA tranches totaling $1,368,214 and that earlier projects completed under budget freed funds now re-obligated. The board record shows the previously unobligated balance before this action was $115,832.63 and that $89,915 was assigned to these three items.
The resolution frames the allocations as county obligations under the ARPA SLFRF final rule and lists earlier local resolutions that previously obligated other ARPA amounts. No public comment on the allocations is recorded in the transcript. The board did not attach implementation dates or departmental assignment details in the motion beyond the listed uses.
The board set a separate public hearing on Oct. 28 for a FY2025 budget amendment the same day it adopted this resolution; the ARPA obligation was recorded in the board minutes and will appear in subsequent budget documentation.
