12 <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if all the ARPA funds are going to administration, as <br /> opposed to the cost of emergency housing assistance. <br /> Travis Myren said the budget spends $3.2 million of the $28 million total that is allocated <br /> to the County, and Housing has a large request in for direct payments from the ARPA funds as <br /> well. He said there will be a discussion about the direct ARPA payments at the Work Session <br /> on June 3, 2021, and a potential decision on June 15, 2021 about how the balance of those <br /> funds are allocated. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the balance of the funds would be included in this <br /> budget, or if it would have to be a budget amendment. <br /> Travis Myren said the balance would be part of a budget amendment. He said staff is <br /> working through all of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, which are not <br /> exhausted at this point, and have money in the fund to cover the next several months. He said <br /> if the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) wants to recharge the fund, it would have to be <br /> used from the other ARPA funds going through the department request process. <br /> Commissioner Dorosin asked if the 12 temporary positions are currently being utilized to <br /> allocate the funds that are there, as opposed to frontloading the positions in expectation for <br /> future funds. <br /> Travis Myren said there are 8 people working currently and 4 vacancies, but the <br /> positions are currently needed.
