# Policy & Governance Special Meeting 09/22/2026

The Oklahoma County Policy & Governance Special Meeting held on September 22, 2026, focused primarily on the status and management of ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds. The meeting included a detailed presentation on fund obligations, expenditures, and project completions, highlighting that approximately $3.7 million remains to be liquidated, mostly tied to capital projects. Discussions covered project modifications involving reallocations across 12 projects, including reductions totaling over $282,000 to be reallocated to the Behavioral Care Center for contact tracing equipment and change orders. The board approved motions to receive the ARPA status report, approve fund reallocations, reduce the revenue replacement HVAC award by about $100,000, and establish a final deadline to cease modifications on external projects to ensure all funds are expended by the December 31, 2026 deadline. The meeting emphasized compliance, project closeouts, and prudent fund management to meet federal requirements.
