The Budget, Finance and Audit Standing Committee (Detroit) met virtually on 2025-09-02. The committee heard an ARPA status report from Legislative Policy Division/OCFO showing roughly 70–74% of $826.7 million allocated has been spent or obligated, handled multiple ARPA-line items, and agreed to bring several items back for follow-up. The public comment period focused on retirees seeking restoration of benefits, calls for better transit, concerns about contracting and local hiring, and allegations of election irregularities.
