Overview: The Town has received a second allotment of $806,852 from Orange County for the Coronavirus Relief Fund <https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/cares/state-and-local-governments> (CRF). This funding is part of the larger federal economic relief package known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES <https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/cares/state-and-local-governments>) Act. The CRF provides financial resources to state, local and tribal governments to help navigate COVID-19. The Staff Report includes additional details about funding categories, possible expenses and anticipated amounts. The draft presentation contains updates about projects that were funded using the first allotment of CARES funding.

 

Recommendation(s):

That the Council enact the attached budget ordinance amendment for the Grants Fund to recognize and appropriate the CARES Act funding.

 


Fiscal Impact/Resources: If the Council enacts the attached budget ordinance amendment, this will add $806,852 to the Town’s FY20-21 Grants Fund budget. Similar to the first allotment of funds, all eligible expenses must be incurred no later than December 30, 2020.
