City considers $66,000 in ARPA funds to drill public water supply well
Summary
At a special meeting the City of Days discussed Ordinance 2024-3 to obligate $66,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funds for drilling a new public water supply well. Council members were briefed on federal obligation deadlines and documentation requirements; no formal vote is recorded in the transcript.
The chair of the City of Days council introduced Ordinance 2024-3 at a special meeting and said the measure would allocate American Rescue Plan Act funds to "pay for the drilling of a new public water supply well." The proposal, as described in the meeting, would use two ARPA disbursements the city received, totaling $66,000.
The chair told the council the money "got it in 2 payments, dollars 33,000 each," and said staff and the city attorney reviewed guidance on obligating the funds. The chair told members that the city must be able to demonstrate an obligation to the U.S. Treasury and that "you have to obligate the funds by December 31 year." According to the chair, once funds are obligated there is a two-year window to spend them.
Meeting remarks stressed that a contract and a council action would serve as proof if federal officials request documentation. The chair said the city already has a contract in place related to the water project, which would help show the obligation.
The transcript contains no record of a motion, mover/second, or vote outcome on Ordinance 2024-3. The chair indicated the intent to proceed with obligating the funds and emphasized the need to record the obligation so the city can show it to Treasury if requested. The council expressed general support in the discussion recorded, and the meeting closed without a recorded formal vote in the available transcript.
