The DeKalb County FAB Committee meeting on June 10, 2025, focused on key procurement and financial updates, including the approval of a significant contract for new laptops and a review of American Rescue Plan (ARP) fund allocations.

During the meeting, the committee approved a statewide contract for the purchase of laptops and related accessories from Panasonic Connect North America. The total cost for this procurement is not to exceed $107,286.30. The laptops are intended to replace aging devices in patrol vehicles that are nearing the end of their operational life and need to be compatible with Windows 11. The old laptops, approximately seven years old, will be declared surplus.

The meeting also included a financial report presented by Chief Financial Officer Diane McNabb, detailing the remaining balances in ARP funds. For ARP Tranche 1, there is a total of $171,818 left, primarily allocated for food security and district accounts. McNabb confirmed that these funds must be expended by the end of 2021. In ARP Tranche 2, only $45,000 remains, designated for improvements in the State Court Division A.

The committee plans to address additional items in a special meeting scheduled for the following Monday, indicating ongoing discussions regarding budget and resource management in the county. The swift approval of the laptop contract and the detailed financial updates reflect the committee's commitment to maintaining operational efficiency and transparency in the use of public funds.
