Discussion and possible action to approve a resolution for reallocating of Webb County’s ARPA Obligated Project Funds from One Project to Another. Webb County has appropriated all its ARPA allocated funds to 40 adopted projects meeting all requirements set forth by the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program guidelines. US Treasury under SLFRF Guidelines FAQ 17.16 allows for the transfer of Obligated ARPA Funds from project to project. Webb County authorizes Brighton Group to follow all SLFRF procedures in reporting with the US Treasury. Issue: As per the project Engineers (ARDURRA Group) improvements are necessary to provide adequate pressure and flow, enhance system reliability, and meet both existing and future water demands for the La Presa Booster Pump Station Project. In addition, it supports the extension of the waterline from the Booster Pump Station to the La Presa community by ensuring adequate conveyance capacity, maintaining system pressures, and providing reliable and sustainable water service. Solution: Webb County authorizes the movement of all ARPA Obligated funds from ARPA Project 0031 La Presa Ground Storage Tank Booster Station and assign to ARPA Project 0004 Waterline Extension Project which meets the requirements set forth and listed above. Result: ARPA 0004 Waterline Extension Project will receive the additional Webb County ARPA funds to obligate them to address the need for adequate pressure by the installation of a Booster Pump Station within the scope of project. This will support the extension of the waterline from the Booster Pump Station to the La Presa community by ensuring adequate conveyance capacity, maintaining system pressures, and providing reliable and sustainable water service.
