Cherokee County approves one-time ARPA stipend for employees
Summary
The Board approved a one-time ARPA stipend of $400 for full-time employees and $200 for part-time employees (who worked at least 100 hours) to be paid from ARPA funds; the motion passed unanimously.
The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners voted Dec. 16 to grant a one-time stipend funded with ARPA dollars: $400 for full-time employees and $200 for part-time employees who worked at least 100 hours in 2024.
Commissioner Cory Moates moved the stipend measure and Commissioner Myra Frazier seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The stipend is a one-time payment and the Board did not specify a distribution date in the minutes.
The Board also discussed broader ARPA allocations and noted a proposed set-aside of roughly $150,000 to support the new planning commission and zoning work. No further conditions for stipend eligibility were recorded in the minutes.
