The Autauga County Commission on May 7 approved Resolution 2024-21 to allocate up to $100,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) "Revenue Replacement" funds to provide in‑kind engineering services on a sanitary sewer collection-line project in the Pine Level area.
Commissioner John L. Thrailkill moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Larry Stoudemire seconded; the motion carried by unanimous vote. The resolution authorizes the chairman to execute an amendment to the county's funding agreement with the Autauga County Sewer Authority to account for additional scope discovered during construction and directs procurement and reimbursement procedures for purchases related to the work.
The resolution cites the U.S. Treasury Final Rule (Jan. 6, 2022) on ARPA revenue-replacement funds and Alabama Code (1975) §1-88-13 in supporting the county's authority to provide services for the benefit of a local sewer authority. It also sets timing constraints tied to ARPA guidance: funds must be obligated by Dec. 31, 2024, and expended by Dec. 31, 2026, and limits use to purposes consistent with CDC guidance and the Treasury Final Rule.
The minutes do not specify an exact vendor, contract amendment amount beyond the $100,000 cap, or a detailed timeline for construction; they record only the commission's authorization to purchase materials from an appropriately procured vendor and reimburse the engineering department as necessary. The commission voted unanimously to approve the resolution.
The commission did not record a public discussion or questions from other parties in the minutes. The chairman was authorized to sign the amended funding agreement and the ARPA program director is charged with ensuring compliance with federal and state rules as described in the resolution.
