Wabash County Commissioners have approved ordinances on spending almost $50,000 in American Rescue Plan funds for the health department and sheriff’s department new smart phone apps. The ordinances allocated almost $26,000 to the sheriff’s department and nearly $24,000 to the health department to cover the costs of the new apps for three years. Commissioners also approved $2,500 in hazard pay to each full time sheriff’s deputy and correctional officer. Other qualifying employees will get $1,500 each. The $2,500 payouts were negotiated in the recently ratified FOP contract. ARPA funds will be used for the hazard pay.
