Administrator: no budget for generators; clerk urges purchase from ARPA/CWI funds
Summary
County Administrator David Schaeffer told the Finance Committee there were no budgeted funds for emergency generators and that supply is limited due to storm-related demand; County Clerk Deborah Hill urged using ARPA/CWI funds to prioritize generator purchases and security needs.
County Administrator David Schaeffer told the Finance Committee on April 8, 2025, that "no funds were budgeted for generators/supply is limited due to storm." He also asked that the Post Approved Check Policy be updated to add Enterprise billings as Item #28 and reported auditors will be onsite the week of April 14, 2025. Schaeffer noted the County Road Manager appointment and that bond counsel would participate by Zoom during the April 9 committee meetings.
County Clerk Deborah Hill urged the committee to "go forward with purchase of generators as original priorities from ARPA/CWI funds including security," citing the importance of addressing immediate needs while staff adapt to new procedures. The minutes record these items as priorities but do not list vendor selections, dollar amounts, or a procurement timeline.
