Resolution Amending 2021 Budget (3) ARPA Projects Motion to approve by Supr. Long, 2nd by Supr. Koch. County Administrator Witt explained after the last Administration Committee meeting additional information became available to complete the federal reporting for lost revenues. Witt reported St. Croix County is able to calculate lost revenues in the amount of $2.4 million, which provides more flexibility on how the funds are used. This does not spend the money, but de-federalizes the grant dollars. The budget amendment will place the revenue into the Capital Improvement Project (CIP) fund for use to support planned capital projects. Motion by Supr. Hansen, 2nd by Supr. Hall to amend the resolution to capture revenue replacement. Between the Administration Committee meeting and County Board meeting, additional information became available to complete the federal reporting for lost revenues. While initially not anticipated, we were able to calculate lost revenues, which provides more flexibility on how the funds are used. This does not spend the money, but defederalizes the grant dollars. The budget amendment will place the revenue into the CIP fund for use to support planned capital projects. Change project 700210 Broadband from $4,000,000 to $1,553,648 and add Revenue Replacement of $2,446,352. Unanimous. Motion by Supr. Ard, 2nd by Supr. Tomtschik to increase 700160 Detox Withdrawal Management Services to $150,000. Discussion regarding where to find the increase of $100,000. Witt explained the Health Care Center Stormwater Infiltration system (project 700250) has come in at $25,000, a savings of $50,000 which could be applied to Detox project 700160. Witt added the additional $50,000 could be deducted from the Broadband (project 700210). Motion by Supr. Hansen 2nd by Supr. Tellijohn to amend the amendment to offset the $100,000 by using $50,000 from project 700250 and $50,000 from project 700210. Unanimous. Motion as amended passed unanimous. Motion by Supr.
