Finance committee approves $118,587 ARPA rollover for county health department
Summary
The committee approved a resolution accepting a $118,587 ARPA rollover for the health department, with members adding language to treat it as a 2025 budget amendment; funds are intended for staffing, lab supplies and pandemic-response work.
The Vernon County Finance Committee voted to approve a resolution to accept an ARPA rollover of $118,587 for the county health department and to present the item to the county board with revised language designating it a budget amendment. The health-department presenter said the funds were originally reimbursable and that the county petitioned the state to roll them over; the state approved the request late in April.
"The amount is $118,587," the presenter said, and explained the funds would be used for staffing, laboratory supplies and other public-health needs tied to the county’s pandemic response. Committee members asked that the resolution explicitly note the budget-amendment status; the chair and mover agreed to that change before forwarding the resolution to the county board.
