Summary

Staff told the council roughly $2 million in ARPA money remains unallocated and previewed projects under consideration. The city’s ERP rollout and utility-billing integration were explained, including existing online payment options and future integration plans.

City staff briefed the council on ARPA grant activity and enterprise resource planning (ERP) work. Staff reported about $2,000,000 in ARPA funds not yet obligated and said potential uses include park projects, IT and building maintenance; staff will return with a more detailed list at the next meeting.

A city staff member explained that ERP (enterprise resource planning) will integrate modules for utility billing, building inspections and business licensing into the city’s financial core and make online services smoother. Staff said online payments are currently available through an external portal (ACI/official payments) and that full integration for utility billing is expected when the new system is implemented. Councilmembers asked about timing, online water-bill payment options and priorities for spending the remaining ARPA funds; staff agreed to return with a prioritized list.
