PURPOSE:
The purpose of this ordinance is to appropriate funding that will allow the City to move $140,300 in American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) funds from the Digital Divide Job Training project (“Digital Divide Project”) to the Salvation Army Road project (“Salvation Army Project”).
BACKGROUND:
The City received $25,929,952 in ARPA funding from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. In 2021, staff presented an initial recommended funding plan to City Council and have continued to provide updates as adjustments to the plan have been made. These adjustments have addressed evolving community needs while supporting economic recovery efforts and the City’s continued fiscal stability.
This ordinance appropriates $140,300 in unused funds from the Digital Divide Project to the Salvation Army Project. The initial ARPA funding plan allocated $1,300,000 for the Salvation Army Project; however, as construction progressed and reached completion, the total project cost increased to $1,464,757.60. The additional funds are being reallocated within existing ARPA projects, and in accordance with federal guidelines.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The total budget impact for this acquisition would be $140,300 from the ARPA Digital Divide Job Project to the ARPA Salvation Army Project.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
Passage of the ordinance is recommended
