RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations in the Grants Operating
Federal Fund in the amount of$86,872,545.00 for allowable expenses related to the American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery
Funds.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)is to appropriate the second tranche of funds received from the United States
(U.S.)Treasury under the American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds(SLFRF).
In March 2021 the President of the United States signed ARPA, providing aid and relief to various sectors of the U.S.economy. The City of Fort
Worth's allocation of ARPA SLFRF totals$173,745,090.00,of which a first tranche(50%), in the amount of$86,872,545.00,was received on May
19,2021 and appropriated on June 22,2021 by M&C 21-0445.
The second tranche of the ARPA SLFRF was received on June 6,2022 from the U.S Treasury and is being appropriated to the Grants Operating
Federal Fund in order to provide allocations for projects approved by City Council(Council)under the framework initially defined in M&C 21-0445.
ARPA specifies certain allowable(and unallowable)uses for these funds,and City Management has determined priorities for ARPA funding to
assist in the on-going recovery effort to strengthen the physical and economic health of the community.
Specific projects under the ARPA framework are required to be approved by Council on separate M&Cs. To date,$120,366,580.00 has been
allocated in the areas of Public Health, Negative Economic Impacts, Revenue Recovery and Administration. All funds must be fully obligated by
December 31,2024,and fully expended by December 31,2026. The figures referenced in this M&C are limited to funds received under Section
9901 of ARPA. Other federal awards related to the Act will be addressed in other M&Cs.
ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS are affected and included.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendation and the attached appropriation ordinance,funds will be
available in the operating budget,as appropriated, of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. All participating City departments will be responsible
for ensuring that only expenditures allowable under the American Recovery Plan Act,with appropriate documentation,are charged to this funding
source. This is an advance grant.
