American Rescue Plan Act of 2021

3 | P a g e

ARP Overview The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, also called the COVID-19

Stimulus Package or American Rescue Plan (”ARP”), is a $1.9

trillion economic stimulus bill passed by the 117th United States

Congress and signed into law by President Biden on March 11,

2021. Costs must be incurred from March 2021 to December 31,

2024. Below are a couple of main points from the American

Rescue Plan:

1. Payment of Funds

Cities with populations over 50,000 ("metropolitan cities") and all

counties that are units of general local government (which

includes political subdivisions) shall receive direct payments from

Treasury. Smaller cities ("non-entitlement units of local

government") with populations under 50,000 shall receive the

State's allocations. There will be two payments made as follows:

• First payment within sixty (60) days of enactment of the

Act for fifty (50) percent of an entity's allocation, and

• Second payment no earlier than twelve (12) months after

the date on which the first amount is paid, for up to1 the

remaining fifty (50) percent of an entity's allocation.

2. Use of Funds

The American Rescue Plan funding can be used for following the

statutory categories:

a) To respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency

or its negative economic impacts

b) To respond to workers performing essential work

during the COVID-19 public health emergency by

providing premium pay to such eligible workers of the

recipient, or by providing grants to eligible employers

that have eligible workers who performed essential

work;

c) For the provision of government services, to the

extend of the reduction in revenue of such recipient

due to the COVID-19 public health emergency, relative to

revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year of the recipient prior to the emergency; and

to make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure.

All funds must be used in compliance with these requirements.

4 | P a g e

Restrictions on the Uses of ARP Funds While the U.S. Treasury will provide additional guidance, the ARP funds allocated to states have identified the

initial restrictions. These restrictions are:

1. Net Reduction in Tax Revenue: If a state or territory has a reduction in net tax revenue, they must

demonstrate how they paid for the tax cuts from sources other than the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery

Funds by enacting policies to raise other sources of revenue, by cutting spending or through higher revenue

due to economic growth.

2. Deposits into Pension Funds: Funding may not be used to deposit into pension funds. Treasury defines

“deposit” as an extraordinary contribution to a pension fund to reduce an accrued, unfunded liability.

Recipients may use funds for routine payroll contributions to pensions of employees whose wages and salaries

are an eligible use.

3. Other Restrictions on Use: Funding debt service, legal settlements, or judgments. Deposit to any rainy-day

funds or financial reserves. Additional restrictions may apply.

4. Funding: Funds must be spent by the end of the calendar year 2024.

Critical Success Factors to

Implementing the Deerfield

Beach ARP The U.S. Treasury released the Interim Final Rule

on May 10, 2021. The guidance, once finalized,

will provide additional guidance and criteria to the

eligible uses of the funds.

The City believes the following factors are critical

to the success of the Deerfield Beach ARP. These

factors include:

1. Maximize the Funding Allocation by leveraging

the Funds with complimentary programs, as

allowed, to multiply the investment to maximize

economic expansion into the local community.

2. Minimize Claw-back Risks

3. Preserve Payment Accuracy

4. Continuous Monitoring and Communication

Figure 2 illustrates these points and provides

additional information related to each success

factor.

Figure 2: Critical Success Factors [Source: GSG]

Keys to Local Government Success

Critical Factors to Successful Implementation of the

American Rescue Plan

Maximize Funding Allocation

By conducting an initial needs assessment, the local

government can develop an implementation plan,

identify strategies, priorities, and a program timeline.

Minimize Clawback Risk

Minimize challenges by proactively identifying risks,

eliminating duplication of benefits, and ongoing

monitoring of program requirements.

Preserve Payment Accuracy

Ongoing and accurate supporting documentation for

payments. Maintain f iduciary responsibility and due

diligence. Disburse payments to those in need as

soon as possible, without sacrificing transparency

and accountability.

Continuous Monitoring & Communication

Constant review of ARP related transactions and

supporting documentation. Active communication

with internal departments, subrecipients, and

stakeholders.

Lessons Learned

from the CARES

Act

On March 27, 2020, Congress

passed the “Coronavirus Aid,

Relief, and Economic Security

Act” (the “CARES Act”) to

provide direct economic

assistance in response to the

financial fallout related to the

COVID-19 pandemic.

This legislation provided $2.2

trillion of economic relief and

stimulus for businesses,

individuals, federal agencies,

and state and local

governments, including a $150

billion Coronavirus Relief Fund for state and local governments to help

offset necessary expenditures incurred due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. The CARES Act provided

critical financial assistance to nonprofits, small businesses, and individuals for utility, foreclosure, and rental

assistance. Figure 3 illustrates the differences between the CARES Act and the ARPA Plan. While CARES was

“surviving the pandemic,” ARPA is about

“strategic investments into the future.”

By leveraging the lesson learned from

CARES, the City is prepared to navigate

complicated program requirements.

$350 billion State &

Local Fiscal Recovery

Fund (SLFRF) SLFRF provides $350 to remedy rising

costs and falling revenues. SLFRF will

enable local government to address

strategic economic and infrastructure

investments and address governmental

budget shortfalls. A significant difference

between CARES and ARPA is that the U.S. Treasury

included all government entities in the distribution of ARPA funds.

Deerfield Beach’s Collaborative Approach Over several months, officials from respective departments within the City Administration met to discuss

potential projects that would have a lasting and positive impact on the communities they serve. GSG assisted

the City in the selection process of the projects, culminating in a spending plan that addresses the needs of

the community while mitigating risk and maximizing impact. The following criteria were used to assess the risk

of the proposed projects:

Risk Rating Criteria per Interim Final Rule

1 – Minimal Risk Explicitly eligible

2 – Low Risk Eligible through general interpretation

3 – Moderate Risk Additional detail and substantiation required

4 – High/Unknown Risk No connection to COVID-19 impacts or unquantifiable risk factor

The City of Deerfield Beach’s plan will continue to evolve as the U.S. Treasury clarifies the American Rescue

Plan Act. Based on prior experience with the CARES Act, the U.S. Treasury will likely issue numerous guidance

updates over the next 36 months. Like many Florida cities, the City of Deerfield Beach recognizes the potential

economic uncertainty ahead. Should the City note future unexpected needs or adjust to potential

Congressional changes to the authorized uses of these funds, the City may adjust ARP funds accordingly.

Replacement of Lost Revenue and Administrative Costs Per the Interim Final Rule, the City may claim lost revenue dollars equal to the counterfactual revenue minus

the actual revenue during the most recent calendar year. Treasury allows for the presumption that this revenue

loss is due to the Covid-19 public health emergency. The Deerfield Beach Finance Department, in cooperation

with GSG, calculated this total to be approximately $5.97 million. The calculation is based on the standard

methodology created by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) and is widely used and accepted

to meet the ARPA requirements. This dollar amount can be expended on projects that qualify as a “provision

of government services” but may otherwise not be eligible under ARPA guidelines.

Under the American Rescue Plan, local governments may claim certain administrative costs, both direct and

indirect, for program administration and the obligated projects up to 10% of the total award amount. The City

has indicated they wish to claim $500,000 for administrative costs at this time. This amount is subject to

change based upon the projected administrative need for selected projects.

Administrative Costs

Project Description Risk Expenditure Category Funding Requested ARPA Program Administration,

Audit, and Monitoring 1 7.1 Administrative Expenses $500,000

Currently, the amount of requested funding exceeds the amount awarded by approximately $3.46 million. An

initial risk-weighting has been assessed on each project based on allowability under the current guidelines

outlined in the Interim Final Rule and the risk and impact of potential clawback of funds from the Treasury

Department.

For additional consideration when selecting projects for ARP award usage, the City should be aware of the

current supply chain constraints placed on raw materials, goods, and supplies. These constraints may result

in delays in project initiations and increases in unit costs to local governments.

Upon the Treasury issuing the Final Rule, the City will have a clearer guide to both the allowability and risk of

the proposed projects and will reassess the spending plan as needed.

Total Requested $19,744,690

Timeline

Figure 8 illustrates the key events timeline

for Deerfield Beach American Rescue Plan.

Strategic planning with involvement from all

stakeholders will be crucial to ensuring the

success of these events.

With the various program guidelines, the City

must leverage the lessons learned from the

CARES Act, FEMA PA, and other grants

programs to actively manage the following

activities, such as:

• Eligibility Determination,

• Duplication of Benefits,

• Financial Compliance,

• Programmatic Compliance, and

• Timely Reporting.

Conclusion This report will serve as the guiding framework for developing specific strategic initiatives, projects, and

programs aligned with ARPA. The framework provides several advantages to the City, including:

• The flexibility to revise the Plan based on changing City priorities, additional guidance from the U.S.

Treasury, and integrating the ARPA projects into the City’s budgetary process.

• Allowing the City the flexibility to design programs that maximize the City’s allocation of ARPA

dollars.

• Flexibility to leverage the City’s allocation of ARPA dollars, where allowable, against other ARPA

initiatives, such as the EDA’s Economic Adjustment Assistance or Travel, Tourism, and Outdoor

Recreation programs.

In compliance with the City’s procurement policy, acquisitions greater than $30,000 will require Commission

approval, and must be competitively procured. This will ensure the involvement of those representing the

community prior to project initiation. The projects will be selected to move forward on a low risk and high

priority basis. This is to ensure that the ARP funds will cover the expenses of the city’s potential projects.

It is the request of the City Administration that the Commission approve this list in its provisional form, so that

the City may begin the procurement process and initiate the first steps to Revive, Recover, and Renew the City

of Deerfield Beach.
