ITEMS OF BUSINESS ILA ARPA Funding Assistant County Manager Lisa Minter presented an overview and proposal of the County's ARPA funds. The Board has appropriated the full $11,999,847 of ARPA funding; however, $8 million has been allocated to salaries for the Sheriff's Office, Jail, and SROs to free up general fund money to maximize the benefit and reduce the administrative burden. The $8 million has been appropriated as follows: $2 million to the new library for Board of Commissioners chamberlmulti-purpose room; $576,000 for the Bob Hales Renovation; $315,00 to the OMI Service Project; $159,000 for a jail full body scanner, $850,000 for affordable housing/Brick Capital project and bringing that to the Board in September. There is $4,100,000 left. Ms. Minter is asking the Board to take action on the actionable items/green section of the ARPA proposal, which totals $1,281,000. Department heads will address the board with greater detail outlining the anticipated implementation of programs in their respective departments at a future board meeting. The yellow "future proposal"section along with the remaining unknown costs section would be assessed at a later date to allow time to identify pricing and feasibility of implementation. Additionally, the staff encouraged the board to reserve the remaining $1,550,225 to address Mental Health in Lee County. Commissioner Reives would like to have an online resource for all entities to have access to look up individuals'status in the mental health process. The Chair and staff are currently looking into several methods in how to do this. A copy of the proposal is attached and included in these minutes.
