RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA) FUNDS
COVER MEMO
TO: County Board of Supervisors
FROM: Ken Witt, County Administrator
Bob Rohret, Director, Health & Human Services
DATE: July 5, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution to Support the Reallocation of American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA) Funds
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 2021, the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors approved $100,000 of American Rescue Plan
Act (ARPA) funding to be used toward a Health & Human Services (HHS) initiative to support
community partner organizations. While HHS is currently pursuing efforts to utilize these ARPA
funds for their intended purpose, we have also recognized the need to further support Veterans
in our community.
HHS proposes re-allocating $30,000 of ARPA funding (program code 700150) to the St. Croix
County Veteran Services Department to support veteran outreach efforts, technology upgrades,
and other supportive services for Veterans that are allowable under the ARPA Final Rule.
Phil Landgraf, St. Croix County Veteran Services Director, believes this amount of funding would
greatly assist his Department in reaching and serving Veterans in St. Croix County.
Bob Rohret, Health and Human Services Director, fully supports this transfer of ARPA funding and
believes the remaining balance of $70,000 will be sufficient for the original stated purpose.
