Title
Resolution authorizing the reallocation of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding in Fund 746 ARPA Fund from closed out projects that no longer need their full allocation of appropriated funding to the external ARPA projects in the amount of $274,900.
Staff Summary
• Several of the projects that offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic through funding from the ARPA Fund have been completed and did not utilize their full appropriate funding. This funding will be reallocated to the ARPA funds set aside to fund the external applicant projects.
• Due to a miscommunication in the application submission process, only one year of funding was including in the original approval by the County Board on August 8, 2023, of the Roberti House Mental Health and Wellness project in the amount of $77,320 instead of the full requested amount for the multi-year project of $352,220.
• The attached line-item transfer will reallocate the budgeted funds from closed out projects to the external projects, with a net impact of $0.
