Funding is budgeted in the American Rescue Plan Act project within the Grants Operating Federal Fund for the purpose of funding various projects
for the management and support of the ARPA initiatives approved by City Council.
These projects are located in All Council Districts.
NOTE ON APPROPRIATIONS-All of the ARPA dollars were previously appropriated in the Grants Projects Federal(Operating)Fund(M&Cs 21-
0445 and 22-0490). Because some of the projects being recommended for approval by this M&C would constitute capital expenditures by the
City,a transfer and appropriation is needed for those funds(Recommendations 2 and 3). For the recommendations that involve expenditure
directly out to the Grants operating fund, no further action regarding appropriations is needed.
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 funds are available in the Grants Operating Federal Fund American Rescue Plan Act project,and that, upon
approval of the above recommendations,funds will be available in the Grants Caps Projects Federal Fund in various projects for the management
and support of the ARPA initiatives approved by City Council. Prior to any expenditures being incurred,the participating departments and
Financial Management Services have the responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
