Local Govt Entity Reimbursement for COVID-19 Grant Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Kristin Donald, Finance Director SUBJECT: Approve the Local Government Entity Reimbursement for COVID-19 submission and ratify the City Manager and Mayor’s signatures of the Local Government Entity Certification Form MEETING DATE: June 22, 2020 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Local Government Entity Reimbursement for COVID-19 submission and ratify the City Manager and Mayor’s signatures of the Local Government Entity Certification Form BACKGROUND: COVID-19 local government reimbursement is through the Governor's Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) contained in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and assistance through the Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) Public Assistance (PA) grant program authorized under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The CARES Act provides that payments from the CRF may only be used to cover costs that: 1. are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID–19); 2. were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 (the date of enactment of the CARES Act) for the local government; and 3. were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020 and ends on December 30, 2020. In order to receive reimbursement for costs incurred due to COVID-19 related expenditures, the Department of Administration Local Government Services Bureau and the Governor’s Office of Budget and Program Planning have developed a process to be used to compile and submit reimbursement request. Requests for reimbursement must be submitted by June 12, July 17, September 4, and/or December 1, 2020, and will be reimbursed within 30 days of these deadlines. An entity will receive a maximum of four payments. The City has followed this guidance for the submission. Please note that the total on the reimbursement submission is not what we will be reimbursed. Specifically, all the FEMA eligible portions have a 25% match so only 75% of those expenditures will be reimbursed. In addition, this 130 is just a request and based on our interpretation of constantly changing information regarding eligible expenditures. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: The guidance keeps evolving and some expenditures may not eligible and some other expenditures not included could become eligible through the CARES Act or through other grants. ALTERNATIVES: As suggested by the Commission FISCAL EFFECTS: Nothing at this time, we will not know what will be funded and at what percentages after submission.
