ITEM 7.A.		Council Action: 10/25/2021
Description

Resolution setting the Mayor's spending authority in relation to the use of American Rescue Plan Act funds
Background/Discussion

  • The City has been awarded approximately $24.8 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds.
  • It has been determined that best practice is to have ARPA expenditures approved by Council.
  • In daily business practice, expenditures will arise that are inconsequential to the overall program.
  • The City's bid threshold for goods and general services is $25,000.00. This request is to allow the mayor to approve ARPA funding requests up to that $25,000.00 threshold without the need for Council approval.
