RECOMMENDATION(S):

ACCEPT the fiscal year 2021/22 4th Quarter (April-June) Report on the American Rescue Plan Act revenues and expenditures for Contra Costa County through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

In August 2021, the County had identified known American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) revenues of $317,327,304, including $224,058,903 of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CSLFRF) allocation, $71,605,012 of Emergency Rental Assistance Program 2 (ERAP 2) allocation, $12,000,000 of HOME Investment Partnerships allocation, $3,355,250 of ARPA Funding for Health Centers allocation, $2,508,139 of Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) allocation, $2,300,000 of ARPA Head Start allocation and $1,500,000 of ARPA Public Health workforce grant funds. In addition, several grant programs were identified but allocations have not yet been made.  


FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
  
Through June 30, 2022, known ARPA revenues have increased by $17,986,266 to $335,313,570. Of that figure, County departments have received $314,566,435 and have expended $158,798,546.  

BACKGROUND:

On August 3, 2021, the Board of Supervisors hosted a public workshop on the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). ARPA was signed into law on March 11, 2021 by President Biden. The ARPA is a broad and far-reaching funding package totaling $1.9 trillion, which provides direct stimulus to taxpayers, advances on child tax credit payments, direct allocations to State and Local governments as well as a myriad of funding augmentations and competitive grant programs administered by federal agencies. A summary of the ARPA, including national funding figures, is included as Attachment A for reference. The Board directed the County Administrator to provide ARPA revenue and expenditure updates on a quarterly basis.  
  
In preparation for the August 3, 2021 public workshop, the County Administrator worked with County departments to identify $317,327,304 in known ARPA revenue coming to the County. Of that $317 million, $127,606,231 had been received by the County, which was composed of two of the largest ARPA funding streams; specifically, the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CSLFRF) in the amount of $112,029,451, and a second allocation of $15,576,780 of Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) funds. The second tranche of CSLFRF was distributed to the County in May 2022 in the amount of $112,029,451.  
  
In addition to CSLFRF, County departments identified $71,605,012 of Emergency Rental Assistance Program 2 (ERAP 2) allocation, $12,000,000 of HOME Investment Partnerships allocation, $3,355,250 of ARPA Funding for Health Centers allocation, $2,508,139 of Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG) allocation, $2,300,000 of ARPA Head Start allocation and $1,500,000 of ARPA Public Health workforce grant funds.  
  
At the conclusion of the August 2021 public workshop, the Board directed the full $112 million allocation of Year 1 CSLFRF funding to the Health Services Department to defray the cost impacts of COVID-19 response activities. Subsequently, on January 25, 2022, the Board acknowledged that the fiscal year 2022/23 Recommended Budget will include $53 million of Year 2 CSLFRF funding in the Health Services Department budget. On April 12, 2022, the Board approved the fiscal year 2022/23 Recommended Budget as presented, including the additional $53 million of Year 2 CSLFRF funding.  
  
Today's agenda item includes the fiscal year 2021/22 4th Quarter Report on ARPA, reflecting information through June 30, 2022, which is included as Attachment B. The next quarterly ARPA report will be provided on the November 8, 2022 discussion calendar.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The fiscal year 2021/22 4th Quarter Report for ARPA will not be formally accepted by the Board of Supervisors.
