DSS would like to use the$125,212.64 of ARPA Funding allocated to Harnett County FNS(Food and Nutrition Services)to pay overtime to employees during the months of July and August of 2022. The funding is to be used to support the counties efforts of administering the FNS program due to the workload increases brought on by the pandemic. These employees will not have a total of 80 hours or more during those two months but need the extra time to work to bring their caseloads current. Since the money has to be spent within July and August and can be spent to administer the program, DSS is requesting a waiver of the 80 hour requirement. J.
