Macoupin County Board Finance Committee met Nov. 5.

Here are the minutes provided by the committee:

I. CALL TO ORDER

PRESENT: Payne, Armour, Duncan

ABSENT: Adden, Dragovich, Heuer, Kiel, Stayton

II. AGENDA ITEMS

1. Resolution Approving the State's Attorneys Office Participation in the State's Attorney Appellate Prosecutor Program

Duncan said Garrison was unable to attend the meeting but the Appellate

Prosecutor program had raised its dues this year by $3,000. He believed he would be able to cover that increase within his existing budget.

2. Highway Department ARPA Project Changes

Duncan passed out the spreadsheet Reinhart had prepared for the ARPA spending from his department. It included alternate bids for some equipment instead of the bridge improvements as the state funding for bridge improvements have increased considerably. Duncan said he did have different amounts for the total spent so far and would try and get with Reinhart to confirm those amounts before Tuesday.

3. Update on ARPA Spending

Duncan passed out a quick sheet showing how much ARPA money was left to be spent, what was obligated at this point, and how much would potentially be left unspent. The committee felt that unspent money should be moved to the Courthouse HVAC project.
