Board obligates remaining ARPA funds to fire training center and complex improvements
Summary
Supervisors approved obligating $10,000 of unobligated ARPA funds to the county fire training center and approximately $49,008.87 to environmental improvements at the complex, leaving the county to finalize obligations by Dec. 30 per staff request.
County staff reported $59,887.66 in unobligated American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and proposed obligations to ensure the funds are drawn down by the program deadline. The county administrator (speaker 4) recommended obligating $10,000 to the fire training center and $49,008.87 for environmental improvements to the existing complex.
A motion to obligate the funds was made and seconded; the board approved the proposal by voice vote. The chair clarified the allocations and staff said they will proceed with necessary steps to obligate the funds by the county’s Dec. 30 internal deadline for ARPA obligations.
One supervisor said the action would "make a lot of people happy," reflecting the board’s intention to target remaining ARPA dollars toward operational and environmental improvements at county facilities.
