Summary

Commissioners discussed spending the remaining roughly $26,000 in ARPA funds to close the account and possibly apply them to courthouse chiller repairs; the Community Foundation is transferring money to the county for maintenance of the local 'buzz bomb' with county attorney and auditor coordination.

Commissioner Rick Woodall said he is finalizing ARPA reporting and proposed spending the remaining approximately $26,000 to close the ARPA fund, while reserving funds to pay final consulting fees to Baker Tilly. Commissioner Beck suggested using some or all of the remaining ARPA balance toward courthouse chiller repairs.

Woodall also said the Community Foundation has begun the process of transferring funds that may only be used for maintenance of the local 'buzz bomb' public artifact. County Attorney Jim Ensley will meet with the foundation and the auditor to arrange the transfer. Woodall additionally urged department heads to review fuel budgets and identify potential shortfalls caused by recent higher fuel prices.
