(KLZA)-- During Tuesday's meeting of the Richardson County Commissioners, Grant Brueggemann, Executive Director of the Southeast District Health Department met with the Board to request Richardson County consider allocating at least 10 percent of the American Rescue Plan Act funds to be received by the county to assist with the Southeast District Health Department.
The Health Department is requesting funds from the five counties included within the District. Richardson County's allocation would be $152,768.
The Health District could plan to use a portion of the funds to make improvements to the current facilities.
Commissioners said they would give the request further consideration when more definitive guidelines are received from the federal government.
Richardson County also reviewed with Austin Duerfeldt the possibility of him providing consulting services to the County for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds which are part of the ARPA funds.
Duerfeldt informed the Commissioners that he serves as the financial coordinator for the Southeast District Health Department.
The Board will continue to review the idea.
