Board approves lapsed‑appropriations requests and notes correction to prior ARPA lapse
Summary
The board approved several lapsed‑appropriations requests in both FY2025/2026 and FY2023/2024 and recorded a correction to a previously reported American Rescue Plan Act lapse amount in the minutes.
On Oct. 14 the Cleveland County Budget Board approved cash‑fund requests to reinstate lapsed appropriations for FY2025/2026 and a separate lapsed‑appropriations item for FY2023/2024. Rod Cleveland moved the FY2025/2026 lapsed‑appropriations package and Chris Amason seconded; the board recorded the motion as carried by unanimous vote.
The FY2025/2026 lapsed items listed in the minutes include two American Rescue Plan Act 2021 line items ($13,587.75 and $170,795.00) as well as various Sheriff and highway fund entries and a County Clerk Preservation item for $29,605.28. The FY2023/2024 item included one American Rescue Plan Act 2021 line labeled with a dollar amount that appears to contain a typographical error in the minutes and a clerk's note that a prior lapse had been corrected: the minutes show "$1,018,3389.49" and state the correct lapse amount (as used elsewhere) is $1,018,338.49. The board approved that lapsed‑appropriations request by voice and the motion carried unanimously.
The item restores previously unexpended or lapsed funds into active appropriation so they may be used under the listed fund authorities. The minutes include the clerk's corrective note on the lapse amount; departments using those funds will rely on the corrected figure when posting to the county financial system.
