(KAIR)--The Atchison County Commission will meet Monday, with the announcement of the afternoon special session released Saturday night.
Previously, the Commission had not planned to meet until after the start of the new year.

According to Atchison County Counselor Patrick Henderson, the purpose of the meeting is to address and clarify the County's American Rescue Plan Act expenditures, commonly known as ARPA, before the end of the calendar year. Henderson explains to MSC News that the "ARPA regulations require local governments to return grant funding that remains unobligated after December 31, 2024," adding that the County is holding the "special meeting to make certain that all funds are properly allocated before the end of the year."

However, the agenda released along with the announcement shows a secondary matter set for discussion, that being the recent, late delivery of Atchison County property tax notices.

According to the agenda for Monday's special session, the Commission will also consider a "resolution authorizing the correction of clerical errors [in accordance with state statute] relating to the computation of final tax levies and the late mailing of property tax statements."

Monday's special meeting is set to start at 4:00 in the Commission Room located in the Basement of the Atchison County Courthouse.
