Board confirms Point Broadband payment recorded; DTR transfer treated as exception

County staff confirmed that payment(s) tied to the Point Broadband project — including cabinet purchases — have been recorded in the post‑audit and explained how the county used available ARPA funds and DTR balance to complete payments.

The administrator said the check for the cabinets has been issued and that prior board action authorized use of ARPA funds with the remaining balance to come from the county’s DTR fund; staff highlighted an attorney memo (Tim Peron) that has been circulated to commissioners and that the board previously recognized the transaction as a one‑time exception to DTR policy. "The check has been issued to pay for those two cabinets," the administrator noted when describing the transaction and where it appears in post‑audit records.

Commissioners asked for clarity on whether the board needed a separate motion to reaffirm the exception; staff pointed to a prior motion documenting that the board considered the DTR withdrawal a one‑time exception. The finance director also reminded the board that the DTR transfer and related entries appear on the post‑audit report if commissioners want to review the exact month of the transaction.
