Background Information:
The US Treasury launched the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund totaling $350B approved through the American Rescue Plan. San Marcos has received an allocation of $18,101,483. The City received half of the funds in June 2021 and the remaining funds in June 2022. Funds must be incurred (for the most part) between 3/3/21 and 12/31/24 with funds expended by 12/31/26. The first tranche was allocated last year, and staff has attached the most recent status report to this item.
Staff began a discussion about the second tranche of ARPA funds with Council at their budget workshop in February and presented a list of recommended funding requests at the April 19 work session. Staff recommends that funds in the amount of $5,401,600 be allocated and the remaining funds would be allocated based on a process developed after the community survey results are received.
Based on discussion and direction given by Council at the April 19 work session and June 29 budget workshop, attached is the detail of the projects Council recommended be brought back for the first round of the second tranche.
