SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $80,000
FROM PROJECT ACCOUNT CI2113 - AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
FOR CITY-WIDE TRASH REMOVAL PROJECTS AS AUTHORIZED BY
SECTION 603(C)(1)(C) OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT AND
U.S. TREASURY FINAL RULE 31 CFR §35.6
SUMMARY:
This Resolution authorizes payment in the amount of $80,000.00 from Project Account
CI2113 American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") for purchases related to various cleanup
activities and events within the City of Pueblo. This payment is authorized by section
603 (c)(1)(C) of the American Rescue Plan Act and U.S. Treasury Final Rule 31 CFR
§35.6.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
By Ordinance No. 9931, approved on May 17, 2021, the City Council established
Project Account CI2113 and budgeted and appropriated up to $36.7 million in funds
which were expected to be distributed to the City from ARPA for covered costs and
eligible expenses to be incurred during the period which began on March 3, 2021, until
December 31, 2024 (to be expended by December 31, 2026).
BACKGROUND:
ARPA authorized a revenue replacement calculation that would allow state and local
governments to use a portion of ARPA allocation for government services. The City of
Pueblo has calculated lost revenue of $9,409,304.
The City has previously allocated $300,000 toward cleanup activities and events
around the City. Those funds have since been expended and an additional $80,000 is
needed to cover expenses related to ongoing cleanup work within the City.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $80,000.00 will be paid out of Project Account CI2113 -
American Rescue Plan.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could decide not to authorize payment of the funds and forego additional
cleanup work.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
