(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission on Monday began reviewing requests for American Rescue Plan Act funding from the county.

The commission selected six requests to move to the next step in the process.

Among them was funding for the purchase of new mobile radio's for the county fire departments, funding for the development of a comprehensive plan for the county and incentive bonuses for employees.

The ARPA funding must be allocated by the end of 2024.

The commission tabled action again on a resolution that would permit the retail sale of packaged cereal malt beverages in unincorporated areas of the county.

Representatives of the Sac and Fox Tribe last month requested the commission consider approval of the resolution to allow them to sell packaged beer on Sundays at their truck stop on U.S. 75 Highway.

Following discussion, the commission decided to table the resolution until their October 24 meeting so additional information could be gathered.

The commission approved the purchase of a snow plow from American Equipment in the amount of $21,522 for for the District 1 road department. It was among two bids received.
