Intro

RESOLUTION NO. 22144, December 31, 2025

INTRODUCED BY DaRon McGee, Charlie Franklin and Manuel Abarca IV, County Legislators

Body

 WHEREAS, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021, enacted by the U.S. Congress, provided financial support to local governments responding to the public health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; and,

WHEREAS, Jackson County received a total allocation of $136,551,645.00 in ARPA funds and,

WHEREAS, ARPA funds were obligated by December 31, 2024, and will be fully expended by December 31, 2026, with strict adherence to federal requirements for eligibility; and,

WHEREAS, while traditionally this process has referred to these funds as “ARPA funds” the funds allocated with this resolution come directly from various County revenue and are not ARPA funds; and,

WHEREAS, it is a priority of the County Legislature and the County Executive that agencies receive well-deserved funding as expeditiously as possible; and,

WHEREAS, should any receiving agency fail to timely provide all requested documentation, they shall be subject to return of funds to be reallocated to other agencies; and,
