Update ARPA spending and reallocate funds between federal relief and city capital budgets
In Plain English
The city received $27.7 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds in 2021 for pandemic relief projects. Federal rules require the city to commit all money by December 31, 2024, but $14.7 million remains unspent. If approved, projects that cannot meet the deadline get switched to regular city capital funding to avoid losing federal money.
