WHEREAS, a petition was submitted to the City residents on 27th Street requesting that the City establish a Residential Parking District on the south side of East 27 th Street and both sides of “C” Avenue, south of 27th Street due to apartments that are located on the north side of East 27th Street that has caused significant parking impacts; and WHEREAS, the establishment of a Residential Permit Parking District is a potential solution for this issue since it would allow residents living in this area to park their vehicles in front of their houses; and

EXPLANATION
REPEALING AND REPLACING CHAPTER 2.75, TITLED, " ELECTION CAMPAIGN REGULATIONS," TO THE NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE
In preparation for the Municipal Election November 2022, staff has reviewed the current National City Municipal Code (NCMC) Section regarding Election Campaign Regulations. This report provides staff’s suggested changes to the current code to reflect current procedures, best practices and corrections to update the Ordinance to reflect the statutory authority of the California State Elections Code, Political Reform Act, and Government Code.

Standard practice prior to an Election Year is for staff to review the City Municipal Code Section

2.75 Election Campaign Regulations. This section of the Code was recently updated and changes were effective January 1, 2021. However, during the current review, staff noted some inconsistencies in comparison to the State of California Elections Code, Political Reform Act and the Government Code.

Change in Definitions: Changes in staffing in the City Clerk’s Office occurred in December of 2021, with a newly elected City Clerk and designated City Clerk staff overseeing the daily operations of the City Clerk ’s Office. The prior Elected City Clerk was also a member of staff making them responsible for daily operations in the City Clerk’s Office. The position of City Clerk changed to a part-time ceremonial position with the November Election of 2021, and the Deputy City Clerk serves as the City Clerk in the absence of the Elected City Clerk. The Municipal Code needs to reflect the change in responsibility as the Deputy City Clerk is the Elections Official and FPPC Filing Officer for the City.

Addition of Chapter 2.75.025 Campaign Statements and Filing Fees: The addition of Chapter

2.75.025 Campaign Statements and Filing Fees provides codified responsibilities and timelines for posting Campaign Statements and Filings to the City website within three (3) City business days of receipt. Furthermore, the section provides for established penalties and remedies within the chapter and direction of any late filing fees received to be deposited into the General Fund to defray the cost of City Elections. Lastly, the Code has been updated to establish the filing fee of twenty-five ($25) dollars for a Candidate’s Nomination Papers. This is a fee charged by the County of San Diego Registrar of Voters for each set of Candidates Nomination Papers received for verification of signatures qualifying a potential Candidate. In the past, the City has subsidized this fee, and would now collect directly from the candidates. The City Clerk shall deposit all fees received into the General Fund.

Adding Section 2.75.030 Campaign Contributions – Limitations and Exclusions: This change provides additional language to include Anonymous Contributions, Extensions of Credit, Candidate Loan to Campaign, Cash Contributions, Contributions of one- hundred ($100) dollars or more, and Identification of Contributors. This change aligns our Code with the Political Reform Act and Fair Political Practices Commission Regulations (FPPC) and increases transparency of candidates and the use of campaign funds.

Section 2.75.050 Retention of Records: Updated to reflect current retention requirements in compliance with FPPC Regulation. Changes in the law in 2018, effective January 2019 required Candidates and their Committees to retain all records, including original source documentation such as bank statements and other records reflecting account activity, and copies of completed campaign statements.

Section 2.75.060 Electioneering: Updated to reflect the current Elections Code Section 319.5 by adding that Electioneering includes Vote -by-Mail Ballot Drop boxes, loitering near or disseminating visible or audible electioneering information. 372 of 629

The City Council has authorized $2.5 million for the Las Palmas Pool re-plastering and re-decking emergency project (Las Palmas Pool Emergency Project). In addition, the City Council has expressed the desire to increase the pool’s capacity for both programming opportunities and swimming time for City residents. As plans and specifications were developed for the Las Palmas Pool Emergency Project, staff and the City’s consultant suggested that the expansion of the width of the pool by 10 feet (Las Palmas Pool Widening Project), in addition to the approved scope of work, would have positive benefits for the community including:
• Expanded pool size will increase lap and recreational swimming by 100% for both programmed and free swimming
• The pool size would be brought up to the standard for competition at the high school and collegiate level

Widening the pool an additional 10 feet along its length will allow for greater flexibility for programming and free swim. As programmed and free swim could then take place at the same time, it would increase pool use significantly. The key is that the added width creates the ability to build different configurations for pool use, which allows for greater usability – more people can use the pool at any given time.

Currently, the pool is less than 22 yards wide. However, 25 yards for the “short course” is the standard length for high school and collegiate competition. In order to create the 25-yard short course necessary for competition, bulkheads are put in place to create the 25-yard length on the long course, which shrinks the available open pool space dramatically. By widening the pool by 10 feet along its length, the pool would be configured into more usable lane space, while still maintaining a revenue stream to off- set operational costs to the city. The pool widening increases the usability of the pool significantly and 399 of 629
creates a more sustainable resource that can be enjoyed by future generations of National City residents.

Water Polo: The short course field option allows water polo while also maximizing the pool space on the outside and shallower ends of the pool. Increasing the pool width allows for 10 lanes to be utilized for lap swim or recreational swim. The diagrams below show the current configuration for water polo. This configuration does not allow for any Community/Lap swim simply because of the danger of an errant ball being tossed into the community area. The pool expansion would allow for a re-configuration of the water polo field with the goals now placed on the long edges of the pool. This would allow for Community/Lap swim to take place as any risk would be minimized.

400 of 629
GEX Aqua Classes: These classes require space in the shallow ends of the pool. When these lanes fill, patrons will often leave due to lack of water where they can stand. Increasing the pool width creates 12 short-course lanes for lap swim or recreational swim, while maximizing the space for GEX Aqua classes and water walking. It creates more versatility and usability within the available pool space. Many participants who prefer water-walking as a low impact way of maintaining or increasing flexibility and strength will now have a greater area to exercise.

High School Swim Teams: Currently, only 32 persons can occupy the pool space for Community/Lap swim during the time that a swim team is renting a portion of the pool. With the expansion of the pool, high school teams can utilize the lanes on the short course, which allows for greater usability of the 401 of 629
remaining portion of the pool for Community/Lap swim. With this configuration, the possibilities for use expand significantly, as seen by the diagram below.

City Council Staff Report
February 1, 2022

AGENDA ITEM:

Update on the American Rescue Plan Act Final Rule and Resolution to allocate $4M of the American Rescue Plan Act funding for General Fund Budget Offsets.

EXPLANATION:

In March 2021, a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill titled the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) was enacted by the federal government. Of the $1.9 trillion, $350 billion was allocated for state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments to respond to the COVID-19 emergency and promote economic growth. The Federal Government refers to this portion of the stimulus bill as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. Of the $350 billion, the City of National City is receiving $18,010,907. The City has received half of the funding, $9,005,453.50, and will receive the other half around June 2022. The City is required to submit quarterly expenditure reports to Treasury and annual revenue loss reports. All expenditures need to be incurred by December 31, 2024 and paid by December 31, 2026.

The U.S. Treasury issued an Interim Final Rule with guidance on eligible uses for the funds in May of 2021. In January 2022, the U.S. Treasury released a Final Rule, which incorporated some of the feedback the Department received from public agencies like us. While the overarching funding objectives remain the same, the adjustments made in the Final Rule expand National City’s ability to spend the funds and reduces the amount of work staff will spend tracking and reporting on the funds.

The four funding objectives of the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds remain:

1. Support urgent COVID-19 response efforts to continue to decrease spread of the virus and bring the pandemic under control.

2. Replace lost public sector revenue to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue experienced due to the pandemic.

3. Respond to the negative economic impacts of the pandemic, including assistance to households, small businesses, and non-profits, and aid to impacted industries.

4. Address systemic public health and economic challenges that have contributed to the unequal impact of the pandemic on certain populations.

The biggest and most impactful change made in the Final Rule, is the City’s ability to take a standard allowance of $10M in the revenue loss category without needing to prove specific 1 406 of 629
revenue loss based on the calculation methodology previously defined by Treasury. This $10M portion of the total $18M ARPA allocation to National City can be spent on any general governmental services.

The Final Rule also made the following changes:
 Clarified that capital expenditures are allowed if they support a COVID-19 public health or economic response
 Expanded the definition of households and communities that have been “impacted” or disproportionately impacted” by the pandemic
 Streamlines options to provide premium pay to essential workers, while maintaining focus on lower-income workers
o Maintained telecommuting exemption
o Allows premium pay for employees over wage threshold who are not exempt from FLSA overtime
 Broadened eligible water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure projects An in-depth overview of the Final Rule provided by U.S. Treasury is included as Attachment 2 to this agenda item.

In October and December 2021, City Council adopted a spending plan for approximately $6M of the total $18M ARPA allocation. The table below lists the adopted spending plan to date.

During previous City Council meetings related to ARPA, City staff recommended allocating $6M of the funding to General Fund offsets at approximately $2M per year between Fiscal Year (FY) 2021-2022 and 2023-2024. These offsets are projects, programs, and staffing that were already planned and budgeted, but are eligible to be paid with ARPA funds. By shifting those expenditures from the General Fund to ARPA funding, the General Fund savings can reduce the anticipated budget deficit and free up the revenue needed to afford the upcoming increases in personnel expenditures. City Council has already formalized the allocation of $2M for FY 2021-2022 General Fund expenditures. Staff is returning this evening to request allocation of the remaining $4M for the following two fiscal years. In total, the $6M of General Fund offsets American Rescue Plan Act Adopted Spending Plan
Description Amount
FY22 General Fund Expenditure Offsets $ 2,060,000 Premium Pay to City Employees $ 1,340,000
Replaster Las Palmas Pool $ 1,000,000
Las Palmas Pool Deck Rehab $ 1,250,000
Las Palmas & Kimball Park CIP Design & Community Outreach $ 200,000 Total $ 5,850,000
Remaining Balance for Future Spending Plan $ 12,160,907 2 407 of 629
can be counted as part of City’s $10M revenue loss allowance and can be reported to the U.S.

Treasury as offsetting any expenditure for general governmental services.

By allocating an additional $4M of ARPA funds tonight, the new spending plan will total $9,850,000 with a remaining balance to allocate of $8,160,907. Plans for the remaining balance are being addressed in another agenda item this evening, along with a community outreach process that will be incorporated into the FY 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Plan budget development and future City Council budget discussions.

Staff Recommendation.
1) Adopt a resolution allocating $4M of ARPA funds to General Fund offsets in Fiscal Years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024.

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

Introduction

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF), a part of the American Rescue Plan, delivers $350 billion to state, local, and Tribal governments across the country to support their response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency. The program ensures that governments have the resources needed to:
• Fight the pandemic and support families and businesses struggling with its public health and economic impacts,
• Maintain vital public services, even amid declines in revenue, and • Build a strong, resilient, and equitable recovery by making investments that support long-term growth and opportunity.

EARLY PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
In May 2021, Treasury published the Interim final rule (IFR) describing eligible and ineligible uses of funds (as well as other program provisions), sought feedback from the public on these program rules, and began to distribute funds. The IFR went immediately into effect in May, and since then, governments have used SLFRF funds to meet their immediate pandemic response needs and begin building a strong and equitable recovery, such as through providing vaccine incentives, development of affordable housing, and construction of infrastructure to deliver safe and reliable water.

As governments began to deploy this funding in their communities, Treasury carefully considered the feedback provided through its public comment process and other forums. Treasury received over 1,500 comments, participated in hundreds of meetings, and received correspondence from a wide range of governments and other stakeholders.

KEY CHANGES AND CLARIFICATIONS IN THE FINAL RULE
The final rule delivers broader flexibility and greater simplicity in the program, responsive to feedback in the comment process. Among other clarifications and changes, the final rule provides the features below.

Replacing Lost Public Sector Revenue
The final rule offers a standard allowance for revenue loss of up to $10 million, allowing recipients to select between a standard amount of revenue loss or complete a full revenue loss calculation.

Recipients that select the standard allowance may use that amount – in many cases their full award – for government services, with streamlined reporting requirements.

Public Health and Economic Impacts
In addition to programs and services, the final rule clarifies that recipients can use funds for capital expenditures that support an eligible COVID-19 public health or economic response. For example, recipients may build certain affordable housing, childcare facilities, schools, hospitals, and other projects consistent with final rule requirements.

5 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

In addition, the final rule provides an expanded set of households and communities that are presumed to be “impacted” and “disproportionately impacted” by the pandemic, thereby allowing recipients to provide responses to a broad set of households and entities without requiring additional analysis.

Further, the final rule provides a broader set of uses available for these communities as part of COVID- 19 public health and economic response, including making affordable housing, childcare, early learning, and services to address learning loss during the pandemic eligible in all impacted communities and making certain community development and neighborhood revitalization activities eligible for disproportionately impacted communities.

Further, the final rule allows for a broader set of uses to restore and support government employment, including hiring above a recipient’s pre-pandemic baseline, providing funds to employees that experienced pay cuts or furloughs, avoiding layoffs, and providing retention incentives.

Premium Pay
The final rule delivers more streamlined options to provide premium pay, by broadening the share of eligible workers who can receive premium pay without a written justification while maintaining a focus on lower-income and frontline workers performing essential work.

Water, Sewer & Broadband Infrastructure
The final rule significantly broadens eligible broadband infrastructure investments to address challenges with broadband access, affordability, and reliability, and adds additional eligible water and sewer infrastructure investments, including a broader range of lead remediation and stormwater management projects.

FINAL RULE EFFECTIVE DATE
The final rule takes effect on April 1, 2022. Until that time, the interim final rule remains in effect; funds used consistently with the IFR while it is in effect are in compliance with the SLFRF program.

However, recipients can choose to take advantage of the final rule’s flexibilities and simplifications now, even ahead of the effective date. Treasury will not take action to enforce the interim final rule to the extent that a use of funds is consistent with the terms of the final rule, regardless of when the SLFRF funds were used. Recipients may consult the Statement Regarding Compliance with the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Interim Final Rule and Final Rule, which can be found on Treasury’s website, for more information on compliance with the interim final rule and the final rule.

Overview of the Program

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) program provides substantial flexibility for each jurisdiction to meet local needs within the four separate eligible use categories. This Overview of the Final Rule addresses the four eligible use categories ordered from the broadest and most flexible to the most specific.

Recipients may use SLFRF funds to:
• Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services up to the amount of revenue loss due to the pandemic.
• Recipients may determine their revenue loss by choosing between two options:
• A standard allowance of up to $10 million in aggregate, not to exceed their award amount, during the program;
• Calculating their jurisdiction’s specific revenue loss each year using Treasury’s formula, which compares actual revenue to a counterfactual trend. • Recipients may use funds up to the amount of revenue loss for government services; generally, services traditionally provided by recipient governments are government services, unless Treasury has stated otherwise.
• Support the COVID-19 public health and economic response by addressing COVID-19 and its impact on public health as well as addressing economic harms to households, small businesses, nonprofits, impacted industries, and the public sector. • Recipients can use funds for programs, services, or capital expenditures that respond to the public health and negative economic impacts of the pandemic. • To provide simple and clear eligible uses of funds, Treasury provides a list of enumerated uses that recipients can provide to households, populations, or classes (i.e., groups) that experienced pandemic impacts.
• Public health eligible uses include COVID-19 mitigation and prevention, medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and preventing and responding to violence. • Eligible uses to respond to negative economic impacts are organized by the type of beneficiary: assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits. • Each category includes assistance for “impacted” and “disproportionately impacted” classes: impacted classes experienced the general, broad-based impacts of the pandemic, while disproportionately impacted classes faced meaningfully more severe impacts, often due to preexisting disparities. • To simplify administration, the final rule presumes that some populations and groups were impacted or disproportionately impacted and are eligible for responsive services.
414 of 629
7 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

• Eligible uses for assistance to impacted households include aid for re- employment, job training, food, rent, mortgages, utilities, affordable housing development, childcare, early education, addressing learning loss, and many more uses.
• Eligible uses for assistance to impacted small businesses or nonprofits include loans or grants to mitigate financial hardship, technical assistance for small businesses, and many more uses.
• Recipients can also provide assistance to impacted industries like travel, tourism, and hospitality that faced substantial pandemic impacts, or address impacts to the public sector, for example by re-hiring public sector workers cut during the crisis. • Recipients providing funds for enumerated uses to populations and groups that Treasury has presumed eligible are clearly operating consistently with the final rule.

Recipients can also identify (1) other populations or groups, beyond those presumed eligible, that experienced pandemic impacts or disproportionate impacts and (2) other programs, services, or capital expenditures, beyond those enumerated, to respond to those impacts.
• Provide premium pay for eligible workers performing essential work, offering additional support to those who have and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical sectors.
• Recipients may provide premium pay to eligible workers – generally those working in- person in key economic sectors – who are below a wage threshold or non-exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime provisions, or if the recipient submits justification that the premium pay is responsive to workers performing essential work. • Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to improve access to clean drinking water, to support vital wastewater and stormwater infrastructure, and to expand affordable access to broadband internet. • Recipients may fund a broad range of water and sewer projects, including those eligible under the EPA’s Clean Water State Revolving Fund, EPA’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, and certain additional projects, including a wide set of lead remediation, stormwater infrastructure, and aid for private wells and septic units. • Recipients may fund high-speed broadband infrastructure in areas of need that the recipient identifies, such as areas without access to adequate speeds, affordable options, or where connections are inconsistent or unreliable; completed projects must participate in a low-income subsidy program.

While recipients have considerable flexibility to use funds to address the diverse needs of their communities, some restrictions on use apply across all eligible use categories. These include:
• For states and territories: No offsets of a reduction in net tax revenue resulting from a change in state or territory law.
415 of 629
8 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

• For all recipients except for Tribal governments: No extraordinary contributions to a pension fund for the purpose of reducing an accrued, unfunded liability.

• For all recipients: No payments for debt service and replenishments of rainy day funds; no satisfaction of settlements and judgments; no uses that contravene or violate the American Rescue Plan Act, Uniform Guidance conflicts of interest requirements, and other federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

Under the SLFRF program, funds must be used for costs incurred on or after March 3, 2021. Further, funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and expended by December 31, 2026. This time period, during which recipients can expend SLFRF funds, is the “period of performance.” In addition to SLFRF, the American Rescue Plan includes other sources of funding for state and local governments, including the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund to fund critical capital investments including broadband infrastructure; the Homeowner Assistance Fund to provide relief for our country’s most vulnerable homeowners; the Emergency Rental Assistance Program to assist households that are unable to pay rent or utilities; and the State Small Business Credit Initiative to fund small business credit expansion initiatives. Eligible recipients are encouraged to visit the Treasury website for more information.

Replacing Lost Public Sector Revenue

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide needed fiscal relief for recipients that have experienced revenue loss due to the onset of the COVID-19 public health emergency. Specifically, SLFRF funding may be used to pay for “government services” in an amount equal to the revenue loss experienced by the recipient due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Government services generally include any service traditionally provided by a government, including construction of roads and other infrastructure, provision of public safety and other services, and health and educational services. Funds spent under government services are subject to streamlined reporting and compliance requirements.

In order to use funds under government services, recipients should first determine revenue loss. They may, then, spend up to that amount on general government services.

DETERMINING REVENUE LOSS
Recipients have two options for how to determine their amount of revenue loss. Recipients must choose one of the two options and cannot switch between these approaches after an election is made.

1. Recipients may elect a “standard allowance” of $10 million to spend on government services through the period of performance.

Under this option, which is newly offered in the final rule Treasury presumes that up to $10 million in revenue has been lost due to the public health emergency and recipients are permitted to use that amount (not to exceed the award amount) to fund “government services.” The standard allowance provides an estimate of revenue loss that is based on an extensive analysis of average revenue loss across states and localities, and offers a simple, convenient way to determine revenue loss, particularly for SLFRF’s smallest recipients.

All recipients may elect to use this standard allowance instead of calculating lost revenue using the formula below, including those with total allocations of $10 million or less. Electing the standard allowance does not increase or decrease a recipient’s total allocation.

2. Recipients may calculate their actual revenue loss according to the formula articulated in the final rule.

Under this option, recipients calculate revenue loss at four distinct points in time, either at the end of each calendar year (e.g., December 31 for years 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023) or the end of each fiscal year of the recipient. Under the flexibility provided in the final rule, recipients can choose whether to use calendar or fiscal year dates but must be consistent throughout the period of performance. Treasury has also provided several adjustments to the definition of general revenue in the final rule.

To calculate revenue loss at each of these dates, recipients must follow a four-step process:

417 of 629
10 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

a. Calculate revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the public health emergency (i.e., last full fiscal year before January 27, 2020), called the base year revenue.

b. Estimate counterfactual revenue, which is equal to the following formula, where n is the number of months elapsed since the end of the base year to the calculation date:

𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 × (1 + 𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑤𝑡ℎ 𝑎𝑑𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡)
𝑛
12 The growth adjustment is the greater of either a standard growth rate—5.2 percent—or the recipient’s average annual revenue growth in the last full three fiscal years prior to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

c. Identify actual revenue, which equals revenues collected over the twelve months immediately preceding the calculation date.

Under the final rule, recipients must adjust actual revenue totals for the effect of tax cuts and tax increases that are adopted after the date of adoption of the final rule (January 6, 2022). Specifically, the estimated fiscal impact of tax cuts and tax increases adopted after January 6, 2022, must be added or subtracted to the calculation of actual revenue for purposes of calculation dates that occur on or after April 1, 2022.

Recipients may subtract from their calculation of actual revenue the effect of tax increases enacted prior to the adoption of the final rule. Note that recipients that elect to remove the effect of tax increases enacted before the adoption of the final rule must also remove the effect of tax decreases enacted before the adoption of the final rule, such that they are accurately removing the effect of tax policy changes on revenue.

d. Revenue loss for the calculation date is equal to counterfactual revenue minus actual revenue (adjusted for tax changes) for the twelve-month period. If actual revenue exceeds counterfactual revenue, the loss is set to zero for that twelve-month period.

Revenue loss for the period of performance is the sum of the revenue loss on for each calculation date.

The supplementary information in the final rule provides an example of this calculation, which recipients may find helpful, in the Revenue Loss section.

SPENDING ON GOVERNMENT SERVICES
Recipients can use SLFRF funds on government services up to the revenue loss amount, whether that be the standard allowance amount or the amount calculated using the above approach. Government services generally include any service traditionally provided by a government, unless Treasury has stated otherwise. Here are some common examples, although this list is not exhaustive:
✓ Construction of schools and hospitals
✓ Road building and maintenance, and
other infrastructure
✓ Health services
✓ General government administration,
staff, and administrative facilities
✓ Environmental remediation
✓ Provision of police, fire, and other public
safety services (including purchase of
fire trucks and police vehicles)

Government services is the most flexible eligible use category under the SLFRF program, and funds are subject to streamlined reporting and compliance requirements. Recipients should be mindful that certain restrictions, which are detailed further in the Restrictions on Use section and apply to all uses of funds, apply to government services as well.

Responding to Public Health and Economic Impacts of COVID-19

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide resources for governments to meet the public health and economic needs of those impacted by the pandemic in their communities, as well as address longstanding health and economic disparities, which amplified the impact of the pandemic in disproportionately impacted communities, resulting in more severe pandemic impacts.

The eligible use category to respond to public health and negative economic impacts is organized around the types of assistance a recipient may provide and includes several sub-categories:
• public health,
• assistance to households,
• assistance to small businesses,
• assistance to nonprofits,
• aid to impacted industries, and
• public sector capacity.

In general, to identify eligible uses of funds in this category, recipients should (1) identify a COVID-19 public health or economic impact on an individual or class (i.e., a group) and (2) design a program that responds to that impact. Responses should be related and reasonably proportional to the harm identified and reasonably designed to benefit those impacted.

To provide simple, clear eligible uses of funds that meet this standard, Treasury provides a non- exhaustive list of enumerated uses that respond to pandemic impacts. Treasury also presumes that some populations experienced pandemic impacts and are eligible for responsive services. In other words, recipients providing enumerated uses of funds to populations presumed eligible are clearly operating consistently with the final rule.1
Recipients also have broad flexibility to (1) identify and respond to other pandemic impacts and (2) serve other populations that experienced pandemic impacts, beyond the enumerated uses and presumed eligible populations. Recipients can also identify groups or “classes” of beneficiaries that experienced pandemic impacts and provide services to those classes.

1 However, please note that use of funds for enumerated uses may not be grossly disproportionate to the harm. Further, recipients should consult the Capital Expenditures section for more information about pursuing a capital expenditure; please note that enumerated capital expenditures are not presumed to be reasonably proportional responses to an identified harm except as provided in the Capital Expenditures section. 420 of 629

economic impact

2. Design a response that addresses or
responds to the impact
Analysis • Can identify impact to a specific
household, business or nonprofit or
to a class of households, businesses,
or nonprofits (i.e., group)
• Can also identify disproportionate
impacts, or more severe impacts, to
a specific beneficiary or to a class
• Types of responses can include a
program, service, or capital
expenditure
• Response should be related and
reasonably proportional to the harm
• Response should also be reasonably
designed to benefit impacted
individual or class
Simplifying
Presumptions • Final Rule presumes certain
populations and classes are impacted
and disproportionately impacted
• Final Rule provides non-exhaustive
list of enumerated eligible uses that
respond to pandemic impacts and
disproportionate impacts

To assess eligibility of uses of funds, recipients should first determine the sub-category where their use of funds may fit (e.g., public health, assistance to households, assistance to small businesses), based on the entity that experienced the health or economic impact.2 Then, recipients should refer to the relevant section for more details on each sub-category.

While the same overall eligibility standard applies to all uses of funds to respond to the public health and negative economic impacts of the pandemic, each sub-category has specific nuances on its application. In addition:
• Recipients interested in using funds for capital expenditures (i.e., investments in property, facilities, or equipment) should review the Capital Expenditures section in addition to the eligible use sub-category.
• Recipients interested in other uses of funds, beyond the enumerated uses, should refer to the section on “Framework for Eligible Uses Beyond Those Enumerated.”

2 For example, a recipient interested in providing aid to unemployed individuals is addressing a negative economic impact experienced by a household and should refer to the section on assistance to households. Recipients should also be aware of the difference between “beneficiaries” and “sub-recipients.” Beneficiaries are households, small businesses, or nonprofits that can receive assistance based on impacts of the pandemic that they experienced. On the other hand, sub-recipients are organizations that carry out eligible uses on behalf of a government, often through grants or contracts. Sub-recipients do not need to have experienced a negative economic impact of the pandemic; rather, they are providing services to beneficiaries that experienced an impact.

RESPONDING TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY
While the country has made tremendous progress in the fight against COVID-19, including a historic vaccination campaign, the disease still poses a grave threat to Americans’ health and the economy.

Providing state, local, and Tribal governments the resources needed to fight the COVID-19 pandemic is a core goal of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, as well as addressing the other ways that the pandemic has impacted public health. Treasury has identified several public health impacts of the pandemic and enumerated uses of funds to respond to impacted populations. • COVID-19 mitigation and prevention. The pandemic has broadly impacted Americans and recipients can provide services to prevent and mitigate COVID-19 to the general public or to small businesses, nonprofits, and impacted industries in general. Enumerated eligible uses include:
✓ Vaccination programs, including vaccine
incentives and vaccine sites
✓ Testing programs, equipment and sites
✓ Monitoring, contact tracing & public
health surveillance (e.g., monitoring for
variants)
✓ Public communication efforts
✓ Public health data systems
✓ COVID-19 prevention and treatment
equipment, such as ventilators and
ambulances
✓ Medical and PPE/protective supplies
✓ Support for isolation or quarantine
✓ Ventilation system installation and
improvement
✓ Technical assistance on mitigation of
COVID-19 threats to public health and
safety
✓ Transportation to reach vaccination or
testing sites, or other prevention and
mitigation services for vulnerable
populations

✓ Support for prevention, mitigation, or
other services in congregate living
facilities, public facilities, and schools
✓ Support for prevention and mitigation
strategies in small businesses, nonprofits,
and impacted industries
✓ Medical facilities generally dedicated to
COVID-19 treatment and mitigation (e.g.,
ICUs, emergency rooms)
✓ Temporary medical facilities and other
measures to increase COVID-19 treatment
capacity
✓ Emergency operations centers &
emergency response equipment (e.g.,
emergency response radio systems)
✓ Public telemedicine capabilities for COVID-
19 related treatment

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

• Medical expenses. Funds may be used for expenses to households, medical providers, or others that incurred medical costs due to the pandemic, including:
✓ Unreimbursed expenses for medical care
for COVID-19 testing or treatment, such
as uncompensated care costs for
medical providers or out-of-pocket costs
for individuals
✓ Paid family and medical leave for public
employees to enable compliance with
COVID-19 public health precautions

✓ Emergency medical response expenses
✓ Treatment of long-term symptoms or effects
of COVID-19

• Behavioral health care, such as mental health treatment, substance use treatment, and other behavioral health services. Treasury recognizes that the pandemic has broadly impacted Americans’ behavioral health and recipients can provide these services to the general public to respond.

Enumerated eligible uses include:
✓ Prevention, outpatient treatment,
inpatient treatment, crisis care,
diversion programs, outreach to
individuals not yet engaged in
treatment, harm reduction & long-term
recovery support
✓ Enhanced behavioral health services in
schools
✓ Services for pregnant women or infants
born with neonatal abstinence
syndrome

✓ Support for equitable access to reduce
disparities in access to high-quality
treatment
✓ Peer support groups, costs for residence in
supportive housing or recovery housing, and
the 988 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
or other hotline services
✓ Expansion of access to evidence-based
services for opioid use disorder prevention,
treatment, harm reduction, and recovery
✓ Behavioral health facilities & equipment

• Preventing and responding to violence. Recognizing that violence – and especially gun violence – has increased in some communities due to the pandemic, recipients may use funds to respond in these communities through:
✓ Referrals to trauma recovery services for
victims of crime
✓ Community violence intervention
programs, including:
• Evidence-based practices like
focused deterrence, with
wraparound services such as
behavioral therapy, trauma
recovery, job training, education,
housing and relocation services, and
financial assistance
✓ In communities experiencing increased
gun violence due to the pandemic:
• Law enforcement officers focused
on advancing community policing
• Enforcement efforts to reduce gun
violence, including prosecution
• Technology & equipment to support
law enforcement response

RESPONDING TO NEGATIVE ECONOMIC IMPACTS
The pandemic caused severe economic damage and, while the economy is on track to a strong recovery, much work remains to continue building a robust, resilient, and equitable economy in the wake of the crisis and to ensure that the benefits of this recovery reach all Americans. While the pandemic impacted millions of American households and businesses, some of its most severe impacts fell on low-income and underserved communities, where pre-existing disparities amplified the impact of the pandemic and where the most work remains to reach a full recovery.

The final rule recognizes that the pandemic caused broad-based impacts that affected many communities, households, and small businesses across the country; for example, many workers faced unemployment and many small businesses saw declines in revenue. The final rule describes these as “impacted" households, communities, small businesses, and nonprofits.

At the same time, the pandemic caused disproportionate impacts, or more severe impacts, in certain communities. For example, low-income and underserved communities have faced more severe health and economic outcomes like higher rates of COVID-19 mortality and unemployment, often because pre- existing disparities exacerbated the impact of the pandemic. The final rule describes these as “disproportionately impacted” households, communities, small businesses, and nonprofits.

To simplify administration of the program, the final rule presumes that certain populations were “impacted” and “disproportionately impacted” by the pandemic; these populations are presumed to be eligible for services that respond to the impact they experienced. The final rule also enumerates a non- exhaustive list of eligible uses that are recognized as responsive to the impacts or disproportionate impacts of COVID-19. Recipients providing enumerated uses to populations presumed eligible are clearly operating consistently with the final rule.

As discussed further in the section Framework for Eligible Uses Beyond Those Enumerated, recipients can also identify other pandemic impacts, impacted or disproportionately impacted populations or classes, and responses.

However, note that the final rule maintains that general infrastructure projects, including roads, streets, and surface transportation infrastructure, would generally not be eligible under this eligible use category, unless the project responded to a specific pandemic public health need or a specific negative economic impact. Similarly, general economic development or workforce development – activities that do not respond to negative economic impacts of the pandemic but rather seek to more generally enhance the jurisdiction’s business climate – would generally not be eligible under this eligible use category.

Assistance to Households
Impacted Households and Communities
Treasury presumes the following households and communities are impacted by the pandemic:
✓ Low- or-moderate income households or
communities
✓ Households that experienced
unemployment
✓ Households that experienced increased
food or housing insecurity
✓ Households that qualify for the Children’s
Health Insurance Program, Childcare
Subsidies through the Child Care
Development Fund (CCDF) Program, or
Medicaid
✓ When providing affordable housing programs:
households that qualify for the National Housing
Trust Fund and Home Investment Partnerships
Program
✓ When providing services to address lost
instructional time in K-12 schools: any student
that lost access to in-person instruction for a
significant period of time
Low- or moderate-income households and communities are those with (i) income at or below 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for the size of the household based on the most recently published poverty guidelines or (ii) income at or below 65 percent of the area median income for the county and size of household based on the most recently published data. For the vast majority of communities, the Federal Poverty Guidelines are higher than the area’s median income and using the Federal Poverty Guidelines would result in more households and communities being presumed eligible.

Treasury has provided an easy-to-use spreadsheet with Federal Poverty Guidelines and area median income levels on its website.

Recipients can measure income for a specific household or the median income for the community, depending on whether the response they plan to provide serves specific households or the general community. The income thresholds vary by household size; recipients should generally use income thresholds for the appropriate household size but can use a default household size of three when easier for administration or when measuring income for a general community.

The income limit for 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of three is $65,880 per year.3 In other words, recipients can always presume that a household earning below this level, or a community with median income below this level, is impacted by the pandemic and eligible for services to respond. Additionally, by following the steps detailed in the section Framework for Eligible Uses Beyond Those Enumerated, recipients may designate additional households as impacted or disproportionately impacted beyond these presumptions, and may also pursue projects not listed below in response to these impacts consistent with Treasury’s standards.

3 For recipients in Alaska, the income limit for 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of three is $82,350 per year. For recipients in Hawaii, the income limit for 300 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of three is $75,780 per year.

✓ Programs or services to support long-term
housing security: including development of
affordable housing and permanent
supportive housing
✓ Certain contributions to an Unemployment
Insurance Trust Fund4

4 Recipients may only use SLFRF funds for contributions to unemployment insurance trust funds and repayment of the principal amount due on advances received under Title XII of the Social Security Act up to an amount equal to (i) the difference between the balance in the recipient’s unemployment insurance trust fund as of January 27, 2020 and the balance of such account as of May 17, 2021, plus (ii) the principal amount outstanding as of May 17, 2021 on any advances received under Title XII of the Social Security Act between January 27, 2020 and May 17, 2021. Further, recipients may use SLFRF funds for the payment of any interest due on such Title XII advances. Additionally, a recipient that deposits SLFRF funds into its unemployment insurance trust fund to fully restore the pre-pandemic balance may not draw down that balance and deposit more SLFRF funds, back up to the pre-pandemic balance. Recipients that deposit SLFRF funds into an unemployment insurance trust fund, or use SLFRF funds to repay principal on Title XII advances, may not take action to reduce benefits available to unemployed workers by changing the computation method governing regular unemployment compensation in a way that results in a reduction of average weekly benefit amounts or the number of weeks of benefits payable (i.e., maximum benefit entitlement). 426 of 629

Disproportionately Impacted Households and Communities
Treasury presumes the following households and communities are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic:
✓ Low -income households and communities
✓ Households residing in Qualified Census
Tracts
✓ Households that qualify for certain federal
5benefits
✓ Households receiving services provided by
Tribal governments
✓ Households residing in the U.S. territories or
receiving services from these governments

Low-income households and communities are those with (i) income at or below 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for the size of its household based on the most recently published poverty guidelines or (ii) income at or below 40 percent of area median income for its county and size of household based on the most recently published data. For the vast majority of communities, the Federal Poverty Guidelines level is higher than the area median income level and using this level would result in more households and communities being presumed eligible. Treasury has provided an easy-to-use spreadsheet with Federal Poverty Guidelines and area median income levels on its website.

Recipients can measure income for a specific household or the median income for the community, depending on whether the service they plan to provide serves specific households or the general community. The income thresholds vary by household size; recipients should generally use income thresholds for the appropriate household size but can use a default household size of three when easier for administration or when measuring income for a general community.

The income limit for 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of three is $40,626 per year.6 In other words, recipients can always presume that a household earning below this level, or a community with median income below this level, is disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and eligible for services to respond.

5 These programs are Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Free- and Reduced-Price Lunch (NSLP) and/or School Breakfast (SBP) programs, Medicare Part D Low-Income Subsidies, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Head Start and/or Early Head Start, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Section 8 Vouchers, Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and Pell Grants. For services to address educational disparities, Treasury will recognize Title I eligible schools as disproportionately impacted and responsive services that support the school generally or support the whole school as eligible. 6 For recipients in Alaska, the income limit for 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of three is $50,783 per year. For recipients in Hawaii, the income limit for 185 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines for a household of three is $46,731 per year

Assistance to Small Businesses

Small businesses have faced widespread challenges due to the pandemic, including periods of shutdown, declines in revenue, or increased costs. The final rule provides many tools for recipients to respond to the impacts of the pandemic on small businesses, or disproportionate impacts on businesses where pre-existing disparities like lack of access to capital compounded the pandemic’s effects.

Small businesses eligible for assistance are those that experienced negative economic impacts or disproportionate impacts of the pandemic and meet the definition of “small business,” specifically:

1. Have no more than 500 employees, or if applicable, the size standard in number of employees established by the Administrator of the Small Business Administration for the industry in which the business concern or organization operates, and

2. Are a small business concern as defined in section 3 of the Small Business Act8 (which includes, among other requirements, that the business is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field of operation).

Impacted Small Businesses

Recipients can identify small businesses impacted by the pandemic, and measures to respond, in many ways; for example, recipients could consider:
✓ Decreased revenue or gross receipts
✓ Financial insecurity
✓ Increased costs
✓ Capacity to weather financial hardship
✓ Challenges covering payroll, rent or
mortgage, and other operating costs
Assistance to small businesses that experienced negative economic impacts includes the following enumerated uses:
✓ Loans or grants to mitigate financial
hardship, such as by supporting payroll
and benefits, costs to retain employees,
and mortgage, rent, utility, and other
operating costs
✓ Technical assistance, counseling, or other
services to support business planning

Disproportionately Impacted Small Businesses

Treasury presumes that the following small businesses are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic:

Assistance to Nonprofits
Nonprofits have faced significant challenges due to the pandemic’s increased demand for services and changing operational needs, as well as declines in revenue sources such as donations and fees.

Nonprofits eligible for assistance are those that experienced negative economic impacts or disproportionate impacts of the pandemic and meet the definition of “nonprofit”—specifically those that are 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) tax-exempt organizations.

Impacted Nonprofits
Recipients can identify nonprofits impacted by the pandemic, and measures to respond, in many ways; for example, recipients could consider:
✓ Decreased revenue (e.g., from donations
and fees)
✓ Financial insecurity
✓ Increased costs (e.g., uncompensated
increases in service need)
✓ Capacity to weather financial hardship
✓ Challenges covering payroll, rent or
mortgage, and other operating costs

Assistance to nonprofits that experienced negative economic impacts includes the following enumerated uses:
✓ Loans or grants to mitigate financial
hardship

✓ Technical or in-kind assistance or other
services that mitigate negative economic
impacts of the pandemic
Disproportionately Impacted Nonprofits
Treasury presumes that the following nonprofits are disproportionately impacted by the pandemic:

✓ Nonprofits operating in Qualified Census
Tracts
✓ Nonprofits operated by Tribal
governments or on Tribal lands

✓ Nonprofits operating in the U.S. territories
Recipients may identify appropriate responses that are related and reasonably proportional to addressing these disproportionate impacts.

Aid to Impacted Industries
Recipients may use SLFRF funding to provide aid to industries impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Recipients should first designate an impacted industry and then provide aid to address the impacted industry’s negative economic impact.

This sub-category of eligible uses does not separately identify disproportionate impacts and corresponding responsive services.

1. Designating an impacted industry. There are two main ways an industry can be designated as “impacted.”

1. If the industry is in the travel, tourism, or hospitality sectors (including Tribal development districts), the industry is impacted.

2. If the industry is outside the travel, tourism, or hospitality sectors, the industry is impacted if:

a. The industry experienced at least 8 percent employment loss from pre-pandemic levels,9 or

b. The industry is experiencing comparable or worse economic impacts as the national tourism, travel, and hospitality industries as of the date of the final rule, based on the totality of economic indicators or qualitative data (if quantitative data is unavailable), and if the impacts were generally due to the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Recipients have flexibility to define industries broadly or narrowly, but Treasury encourages recipients to define narrow and discrete industries eligible for aid. State and territory recipients also have flexibility to define the industries with greater geographic precision; for example, a state may identify a particular industry in a certain region of a state as impacted.

2. Providing eligible aid to the impacted industry. Aid may only be provided to support businesses, attractions, and Tribal development districts operating prior to the pandemic and affected by required closures and other efforts to contain the pandemic. Further, aid should be generally broadly available to all businesses within the impacted industry to avoid potential conflicts of interest, and Treasury encourages aid to be first used for operational expenses, such as payroll, before being used on other types of costs.

9 Specifically, a recipient should compare the percent change in the number of employees of the recipient’s identified industry and the national Leisure & Hospitality sector in the three months before the pandemic’s most severe impacts began (a straight three-month average of seasonally-adjusted employment data from December 2019, January 2020, and February 2020) with the latest data as of the final rule (a straight three-month average of seasonally-adjusted employment data from September 2021, October 2021, and November 2021). For parity and simplicity, smaller recipients without employment data that measure industries in their specific jurisdiction may use data available for a broader unit of government for this calculation (e.g., a county may use data from the state in which it is located; a city may use data for the county, if available, or state in which it is located) solely for purposes of determining whether a particular industry is an impacted industry. 432 of 629

PUBLIC SECTOR CAPACITY
Recipients may use SLFRF funding to restore and bolster public sector capacity, which supports government’s ability to deliver critical COVID-19 services. There are three main categories of eligible uses to bolster public sector capacity and workforce: Public Safety, Public Health, and Human Services Staff; Government Employment and Rehiring Public Sector Staff; and Effective Service Delivery.

Public Safety, Public Health, and Human Services Staff
SLFRF funding may be used for payroll and covered benefits for public safety, public health, health care, human services and similar employees of a recipient government, for the portion of the employee’s time spent responding to COVID-19. Recipients should follow the steps below.

1. Identify eligible public safety, public health, and human services staff. Public safety staff include:
✓ Police officers (including state police
officers)
✓ Sheriffs and deputy sheriffs
✓ Firefighters
✓ Emergency medical responders

✓ Correctional and detention officers
✓ Dispatchers and supervisor personnel
that directly support public safety staff

Public health staff include:
✓ Employees involved in providing medical
and other physical or mental health
services to patients and supervisory
personnel, including medical staff
assigned to schools, prisons, and other
such institutions
✓ Laboratory technicians, medical
examiners, morgue staff, and other
support services essential for patient
care
✓ Employees of public health
departments directly engaged in
public health matters and related
supervisory personnel

Human services staff include:
✓ Employees providing or administering
social services and public benefits
✓ Child welfare services employees
✓ Child, elder, or family care employees

2. Assess portion of time spent on COVID-19 response for eligible staff.

Recipients can use a variety of methods to assess the share of an employees’ time spent responding to COVID-19, including using reasonable estimates—such as estimating the share of time based on discussions with staff and applying that share to all employees in that position.

For administrative convenience, recipients can consider public health and safety employees entirely devoted to responding to COVID-19 (and their payroll and benefits fully covered by SLFRF) if the 434 of 629
27 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

employee, or his or her operating unit or division, is “primarily dedicated” to responding to COVID-

19. Primarily dedicated means that more than half of the employee, unit, or division’s time is dedicated to responding to COVID-19.

Recipients must periodically reassess their determination and maintain records to support their assessment, although recipients do not need to track staff hours.

3. Use SLFRF funding for payroll and covered benefits for the portion of eligible staff time spent on COVID-19 response. SLFRF funding may be used for payroll and covered benefits for the portion of the employees’ time spent on COVID-19 response, as calculated above, through the period of performance.

Government Employment and Rehiring Public Sector Staff
Under the increased flexibility of the final rule, SLFRF funding may be used to support a broader set of uses to restore and support public sector employment. Eligible uses include hiring up to a pre-pandemic baseline that is adjusted for historic underinvestment in the public sector, providing additional funds for employees who experienced pay cuts or were furloughed, avoiding layoffs, providing worker retention incentives, and paying for ancillary administrative costs related to hiring, support, and retention. • Restoring pre-pandemic employment. Recipients have two options to restore pre-pandemic employment, depending on the recipient’s needs.

• If the recipient simply wants to hire back employees for pre-pandemic positions: Recipients may use SLFRF funds to hire employees for the same positions that existed on January 27, 2020 but that were unfilled or eliminated as of March 3, 2021. Recipients may use SLFRF funds to cover payroll and covered benefits for such positions through the period of performance.

• If the recipient wants to hire above the pre-pandemic baseline and/or would like to have flexibility in positions: Recipients may use SLFRF funds to pay for payroll and covered benefits associated with the recipient increasing its number of budgeted FTEs up to 7.5 percent above its pre-pandemic baseline. Specifically, recipients should undergo the following steps:

a. Identify the recipient’s budgeted FTE level on January 27, 2020. This includes all budgeted positions, filled and unfilled. This is called the pre-pandemic baseline. b. Multiply the pre-pandemic baseline by 1.075. This is called the adjusted pre- pandemic baseline.
c. Identify the recipient’s budgeted FTE level on March 3, 2021, which is the beginning of the period of performance for SLFRF funds. Recipients may, but are not required to, exclude the number of FTEs dedicated to responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. This is called the actual number of FTEs. d. Subtract the actual number of FTEs from the adjusted pre-pandemic baseline to calculate the number of FTEs that can be covered by SLFRF funds. Recipients do not have to hire for the same roles that existed pre-pandemic. 435 of 629
28 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

Recipients may use SLFRF funds to cover payroll and covered benefits through the period of performance; these employees must have begun their employment on or after March 3, 2021. Recipients may only use SLFRF funds for additional FTEs hired over the March 3, 2021 level (i.e., the actual number of FTEs).

• Supporting and retaining public sector workers. Recipients can also use funds in other ways that support the public sector workforce.10 These include:

o Providing additional funding for employees who experienced pay reductions or were furloughed since the onset of the pandemic, up to the difference in the employee’s pay, taking into account unemployment benefits received.

o Maintaining current compensation levels to prevent layoffs. SLFRF funds may be used to maintain current compensation levels, with adjustments for inflation, in order to prevent layoffs that would otherwise be necessary.

o Providing worker retention incentives, including reasonable increases in compensation to persuade employees to remain with the employer as compared to other employment options. Retention incentives must be entirely additive to an employee’s regular compensation, narrowly tailored to need, and should not exceed incentives traditionally offered by the recipient or compensation that alternative employers may offer to compete for the employees. Treasury presumes that retention incentives that are less than 25 percent of the rate of base pay for an individual employee or 10 percent for a group or category of employees are reasonably proportional to the need to retain employees, as long as other requirements are met.

• Covering administrative costs associated with administering the hiring, support, and retention programs above.

Effective Service Delivery
SLFRF funding may be used to improve the efficacy of public health and economic programs through tools like program evaluation, data, and outreach, as well as to address administrative needs caused or exacerbated by the pandemic. Eligible uses include:
• Supporting program evaluation, data, and outreach through:

10 Recipients should be able to substantiate that these uses of funds are substantially due to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts (e.g., fiscal pressures on state and local budgets) and respond to its impacts. See the final rule for details on these uses.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
As described above, the final rule clarifies that recipients may use funds for programs, services, and capital expenditures that respond to the public health and negative economic impacts of the pandemic.

Any use of funds in this category for a capital expenditure must comply with the capital expenditure requirements, in addition to other standards for uses of funds.

Capital expenditures are subject to the same eligibility standard as other eligible uses to respond to the pandemic’s public health and economic impacts; specifically, they must be related and reasonably proportional to the pandemic impact identified and reasonably designed to benefit the impacted population or class.

For ease of administration, the final rule identifies enumerated types of capital expenditures that Treasury has identified as responding to the pandemic’s impacts; these are listed in the applicable sub- category of eligible uses (e.g., public health, assistance to households, etc.). Recipients may also identify other responsive capital expenditures. Similar to other eligible uses in the SLFRF program, no pre- approval is required for capital expenditures.

To guide recipients’ analysis of whether a capital expenditure meets the eligibility standard, recipients (with the exception of Tribal governments) must complete and meet the requirements of a written justification for capital expenditures equal to or greater than $1 million. For large-scale capital expenditures, which have high costs and may require an extended length of time to complete, as well as most capital expenditures for non-enumerated uses of funds, Treasury requires recipients to submit their written justification as part of regular reporting. Specifically:

If a project has
total capital
expenditures
of
and the use is enumerated by Treasury
as eligible, then
and the use is beyond those
enumerated by Treasury as eligible,
then
Less than $1
million
No Written Justification required No Written Justification required Greater than or
equal to $1
million, but
less than $10
million
Written Justification required but
recipients are not required to submit as
part of regular reporting to Treasury Written Justification required and recipients must submit as part of regular
reporting to Treasury
$10 million or
more
Written Justification required and
recipients must submit as part of regular
reporting to Treasury

A Written Justification includes:
• Description of the harm or need to be addressed. Recipients should provide a description of the specific harm or need to be addressed and why the harm was exacerbated or caused by the public health emergency. Recipients may provide quantitative information on the extent and the type of harm, such as the number of individuals or entities affected. 438 of 629
31 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

• Explanation of why a capital expenditure is appropriate. For example, recipients should include an explanation of why existing equipment and facilities, or policy changes or additional funding to pertinent programs or services, would be inadequate. • Comparison of proposed capital project against at least two alternative capital expenditures and demonstration of why the proposed capital expenditure is superior. Recipients should consider the effectiveness of the capital expenditure in addressing the harm identified and the expected total cost (including pre-development costs) against at least two alternative capital expenditures.

Where relevant, recipients should consider the alternatives of improving existing capital assets already owned or leasing other capital assets.

Treasury presumes that the following capital projects are generally ineligible:
 Construction of new correctional
facilities as a response to an increase in
rate of crime
 Construction of new congregate
facilities to decrease spread of COVID-19
in the facility
 Construction of convention centers,
stadiums, or other large capital projects
intended for general economic
development or to aid impacted
industries

In undertaking capital expenditures, Treasury encourages recipients to adhere to strong labor standards, including project labor agreements and community benefits agreements that offer wages at or above the prevailing rate and include local hire provisions. Treasury also encourages recipients to prioritize in their procurements employers with high labor standards and to prioritize employers without recent violations of federal and state labor and employment laws.

FRAMEWORK FOR ELIGIBLE USES BEYOND THOSE ENUMERATED
As described above, recipients have broad flexibility to identify and respond to other pandemic impacts and serve other populations that experienced pandemic impacts, beyond the enumerated uses and presumed eligible populations. Recipients should undergo the following steps to decide whether their project is eligible:

Step 1. Identify COVID-19 public health or
economic impact

1. Identify a COVID-19 public health or negative economic impact on an individual or a class.

Recipients should identify an individual or class that is “impacted” or “disproportionately impacted” by the COVID-19 public health emergency or its negative economic impacts as well as the specific impact itself.

• “Impacted” entities are those impacted by the disease itself or the harmful consequences of the economic disruptions resulting from or exacerbated by the COVID- 19 public health emergency. For example, an individual who lost their job or a small business that saw lower revenue during a period of closure would both have experienced impacts of the pandemic.

• “Disproportionately impacted” entities are those that experienced disproportionate public health or economic outcomes from the pandemic; Treasury recognizes that pre- existing disparities, in many cases, amplified the impacts of the pandemic, causing more severe impacts in underserved communities. For example, a household living in a neighborhood with limited access to medical care and healthy foods may have faced health disparities before the pandemic, like a higher rate of chronic health conditions, that contributed to more severe health outcomes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The recipient may choose to identify these impacts at either the individual level or at a class level. If the recipient is identifying impacts at the individual level, they should retain documentation supporting the impact the individual experienced (e.g., documentation of lost revenues from a small business). Such documentation can be streamlined in many cases (e.g., self-attestation that a household requires food assistance).

Recipients also have broad flexibility to identify a “class” – or a group of households, small businesses, or nonprofits – that experienced an impact. In these cases, the recipients should 440 of 629
33 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

first identify the class and the impact that it faced. Then, recipients only need to document that the individuals served fall within that class; recipients do not need to document a specific impact to each individual served. For example, a recipient could identify that restaurants in the downtown area faced substantial declines in revenue due to decreased foot traffic from workers; the recipient could develop a program to respond to the impact on that class and only needs to document that the businesses being served are restaurants in the downtown area.

Recipients should keep the following considerations in mind when designating a class:
• There should be a relationship between the definition of the class and the proposed response. Larger and less-specific classes are less likely to have experienced similar harms, which may make it more difficult to design a response that appropriately responds to those harms.
• Classes may be determined on a population basis or on a geographic basis, and the response should be appropriately matched. For example, a response might be designed to provide childcare to single parents, regardless of which neighborhood they live in, or a response might provide a park to improve the health of a disproportionately impacted neighborhood.
• Recipients may designate classes that experienced disproportionate impact, by assessing the impacts of the pandemic and finding that some populations experienced meaningfully more severe impacts than the general public. To determine these disproportionate impacts, recipients:
o May designate classes based on academic research or government research publications (such as the citations provided in the supplementary information in the final rule), through analysis of their own data, or through analysis of other existing data sources.
o May also consider qualitative research and sources to augment their analysis, or when quantitative data is not readily available. Such sources might include resident interviews or feedback from relevant state and local agencies, such as public health departments or social services departments. o Should consider the quality of the research, data, and applicability of analysis to their determination in all cases.
• Some of the enumerated uses may also be appropriate responses to the impacts experienced by other classes of beneficiaries. It is permissible for recipients to provide these services to other classes, so long as the recipient determines that the response is also appropriate for those groups.
• Recipients may designate a class based on income level, including at levels higher than the final rule definition of "low- and moderate-income." For example, a recipient may identify that households in their community with incomes above the final rule threshold for low-income nevertheless experienced disproportionate impacts from the pandemic and provide responsive services.

2. Design a response that addresses or responds to the impact. Programs, services, and other interventions must be reasonably designed to benefit the individual or class that experienced 441 of 629
34 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

the impact. They must also be related and reasonably proportional to the extent and type of impact experienced. For example, uses that bear no relation or are grossly disproportionate to the type or extent of the impact would not be eligible.

“Reasonably proportional” refers to the scale of the response compared to the scale of the harm, as well as the targeting of the response to beneficiaries compared to the amount of harm they experienced; for example, it may not be reasonably proportional for a cash assistance program to provide a very small amount of aid to a group that experienced severe harm and a much larger amount to a group that experienced relatively little harm. Recipients should consider relevant factors about the harm identified and the response to evaluate whether the response is reasonably proportional. For example, recipients may consider the size of the population impacted and the severity, type, and duration of the impact. Recipients may also consider the efficacy, cost, cost-effectiveness, and time to delivery of the response.

For disproportionately impacted communities, recipients may design interventions that address broader pre-existing disparities that contributed to more severe health and economic outcomes during the pandemic, such as disproportionate gaps in access to health care or pre-existing disparities in educational outcomes that have been exacerbated by the pandemic.

Premium Pay

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds may be used to provide premium pay to eligible workers performing essential work during the pandemic. Premium pay may be awarded to eligible workers up to $13 per hour. Premium pay must be in addition to wages or remuneration (i.e., compensation) the eligible worker otherwise receives. Premium pay may not exceed $25,000 for any single worker during the program.

Recipients should undergo the following steps to provide premium pay to eligible workers.

1. Identify an “eligible” worker. Eligible workers include workers “needed to maintain continuity of operations of essential critical infrastructure sectors.” These sectors and occupations are eligible:
✓ Health care
✓ Emergency response
✓ Sanitation, disinfection & cleaning
✓ Maintenance
✓ Grocery stores, restaurants, food
production, and food delivery
✓ Pharmacy
✓ Biomedical research
✓ Behavioral health
✓ Medical testing and diagnostics
✓ Home and community-based health care
or assistance with activities of daily living
✓ Family or child care
✓ Social services
✓ Public health
✓ Mortuary
✓ Critical clinical research, development,
and testing necessary for COVID-19
response

✓ State, local, or Tribal government
workforce
✓ Workers providing vital services to
Tribes
✓ Educational, school nutrition, and other
work required to operate a school
facility
✓ Laundry
✓ Elections
✓ Solid waste or hazardous materials
management, response, and cleanup
✓ Work requiring physical interaction with
patients
✓ Dental care
✓ Transportation and warehousing
✓ Hotel and commercial lodging facilities
that are used for COVID-19 mitigation
and containment

Beyond this list, the chief executive (or equivalent) of a recipient government may designate additional non-public sectors as critical so long as doing so is necessary to protecting the health and wellbeing of the residents of such jurisdictions.

2. Verify that the eligible worker performs “essential work,” meaning work that:

• Is not performed while teleworking from a residence; and • Involves either:
a. regular, in-person interactions with patients, the public, or coworkers of the individual that is performing the work; or
b. regular physical handling of items that were handled by, or are to be handled by, patients, the public, or coworkers of the individual that is performing the work.

443 of 629
36 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

3. Confirm that the premium pay “responds to” workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency. Under the final rule, which broadened the share of eligible workers who can receive premium pay without a written justification, recipients may meet this requirement in one of three ways:

• Eligible worker receiving premium pay is earning (with the premium included) at or below 150 percent of their residing state or county’s average annual wage for all occupations, as defined by the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, whichever is higher, on an annual basis; or

• Eligible worker receiving premium pay is not exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act overtime provisions; or

• If a worker does not meet either of the above requirements, the recipient must submit written justification to Treasury detailing how the premium pay is otherwise responsive to workers performing essential work during the public health emergency. This may include a description of the essential worker’s duties, health, or financial risks faced due to COVID-19, and why the recipient determined that the premium pay was responsive. Treasury anticipates that recipients will easily be able to satisfy the justification requirement for front-line workers, like nurses and hospital staff.

Premium pay may be awarded in installments or lump sums (e.g., monthly, quarterly, etc.) and may be awarded to hourly, part-time, or salaried or non-hourly workers. Premium pay must be paid in addition to wages already received and may be paid retrospectively. A recipient may not use SLFRF to merely reimburse itself for premium pay or hazard pay already received by the worker, and premium pay may not be paid to volunteers.

Water & Sewer Infrastructure

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds may be used to make necessary investments in water and sewer infrastructure. State, local, and Tribal governments have a tremendous need to address the consequences of deferred maintenance in drinking water systems and removal, management, and treatment of sewage and stormwater, along with additional resiliency measures needed to adapt to climate change.

Recipients may undertake the eligible projects below:

PROJECTS ELIGIBLE UNDER EPA’S CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND (CWSRF) Eligible projects under the CWSRF, and the final rule, include:
✓ Construction of publicly owned
treatment works
✓ Projects pursuant to implementation
of a nonpoint source pollution
management program established
under the Clean Water Act (CWA)
✓ Decentralized wastewater treatment
systems that treat municipal
wastewater or domestic sewage
✓ Management and treatment of
stormwater or subsurface drainage
water
✓ Water conservation, efficiency, or
reuse measures

✓ Development and implementation of a
conservation and management plan
under the CWA
✓ Watershed projects meeting the
criteria set forth in the CWA
✓ Energy consumption reduction for
publicly owned treatment works
✓ Reuse or recycling of wastewater,
stormwater, or subsurface drainage
water
✓ Security of publicly owned treatment
works

Treasury encourages recipients to review the EPA handbook for the CWSRF for a full list of eligibilities.

PROJECTS ELIGIBLE UNDER EPA’S DRINKING WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND (DWSRF) Eligible drinking water projects under the DWSRF, and the final rule, include:
✓ Facilities to improve drinking water
quality
✓ Transmission and distribution,
including improvements of water
pressure or prevention of
contamination in infrastructure and
lead service line replacements
✓ New sources to replace contaminated
drinking water or increase drought
resilience, including aquifer storage
and recovery system for water storage
✓ Green infrastructure, including green
roofs, rainwater harvesting collection,
permeable pavement
✓ Storage of drinking water, such as to
prevent contaminants or equalize
water demands
✓ Purchase of water systems and
interconnection of systems
✓ New community water systems

Treasury encourages recipients to review the EPA handbook for the DWSRF for a full list of eligibilities. 445 of 629
38 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

ADDITIONAL ELIGIBLE PROJECTS
With broadened eligibility under the final rule, SLFRF funds may be used to fund additional types of projects— such as additional stormwater infrastructure, residential wells, lead remediation, and certain rehabilitations of dams and reservoirs — beyond the CWSRF and DWSRF, if they are found to be “necessary” according to the definition provided in the final rule and outlined below. ✓ Culvert repair, resizing, and removal,
replacement of storm sewers, and
additional types of stormwater
infrastructure
✓ Infrastructure to improve access to
safe drinking water for individual
served by residential wells, including
testing initiatives, and
treatment/remediation strategies that
address contamination
✓ Dam and reservoir rehabilitation if
primary purpose of dam or reservoir is
for drinking water supply and project
is necessary for provision of drinking
water
✓ Broad set of lead remediation projects
eligible under EPA grant programs
authorized by the Water
Infrastructure Improvements for the
Nation (WIIN) Act, such as lead
testing, installation of corrosion
control treatment, lead service line
replacement, as well as water quality
testing, compliance monitoring, and
remediation activities, including
replacement of internal plumbing and
faucets and fixtures in schools and
childcare facilities

A “necessary” investment in infrastructure must be:
(1) responsive to an identified need to achieve or maintain an adequate minimum level of service, which may include a reasonable projection of increased need, whether due to population growth or otherwise,
(2) a cost-effective means for meeting that need, taking into account available alternatives, and (3) for investments in infrastructure that supply drinking water in order to meet projected population growth, projected to be sustainable over its estimated useful life.

Please note that DWSRF and CWSRF-eligible projects are generally presumed to be necessary investments. Additional eligible projects generally must be responsive to an identified need to achieve or maintain an adequate minimum level of service. Recipients are only required to assess cost- effectiveness of projects for the creation of new drinking water systems, dam and reservoir rehabilitation projects, or projects for the extension of drinking water service to meet population growth needs. Recipients should review the supplementary information to the final rule for more details on requirements applicable to each type of investment.

APPLICABLE STANDARDS & REQUIREMENTS
Treasury encourages recipients to adhere to strong labor standards, including project labor agreements and community benefits agreements that offer wages at or above the prevailing rate and include local hire provisions. Treasury also encourages recipients to prioritize in their procurements employers with high labor standards and to prioritize employers without recent violations of federal and state labor and employment laws.

Broadband Infrastructure

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds may be used to make necessary investments in broadband infrastructure, which has been shown to be critical for work, education, healthcare, and civic participation during the public health emergency. The final rule broadens the set of eligible broadband infrastructure investments that recipients may undertake.

Recipients may pursue investments in broadband infrastructure meeting technical standards detailed below, as well as an expanded set of cybersecurity investments.

BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS
Recipients should adhere to the following requirements when designing a broadband infrastructure project:

1. Identify an eligible area for investment. Recipients are encouraged to prioritize projects that are designed to serve locations without access to reliable wireline 100/20 Mbps broadband service (meaning service that reliably provides 100 Mbps download speed and 20 Mbps upload speed through a wireline connection), but are broadly able to invest in projects designed to provide service to locations with an identified need for additional broadband investment.

Recipients have broad flexibility to define need in their community. Examples of need could include:
✓ Lack of access to a reliable high-speed
broadband connection
✓ Lack of affordable broadband
✓ Lack of reliable service

If recipients are considering deploying broadband to locations where there are existing and enforceable federal or state funding commitments for reliable service of at least 100/20 Mbps, recipients must ensure that SLFRF funds are designed to address an identified need for additional broadband investment that is not met by existing federal or state funding commitments. Recipients must also ensure that SLFRF funds will not be used for costs that will be reimbursed by the other federal or state funding streams.

2. Design project to meet high-speed technical standards. Recipients are required to design projects to, upon completion, reliably meet or exceed symmetrical 100 Mbps download and upload speeds. In cases where it is not practicable, because of the excessive cost of the project or geography or topography of the area to be served by the project, eligible projects may be designed to reliably meet or exceed 100/20 Mbps and be scalable to a minimum of symmetrical 100 Mbps download and upload speeds.

Treasury encourages recipients to prioritize investments in fiber-optic infrastructure wherever feasible and to focus on projects that will achieve last-mile connections. Further, Treasury encourages recipients to prioritize support for broadband networks owned, operated by, or affiliated with local governments, nonprofits, and co-operatives.

447 of 629
40 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

3. Require enrollment in a low-income subsidy program. Recipients must require the service provider for a broadband project that provides service to households to either:
✓ Participate in the FCC’s Affordable
Connectivity Program (ACP)
✓ Provide access to a broad-based
affordability program to low-income
consumers that provides benefits
commensurate to ACP

Treasury encourages broadband services to also include at least one low-cost option offered without data usage caps at speeds sufficient for a household with multiple users to simultaneously telework and engage in remote learning. Recipients are also encouraged to consult with the community on affordability needs.

CYBERSECURITY INVESTMENTS
SLFRF may be used for modernization of cybersecurity for existing and new broadband infrastructure, regardless of their speed delivery standards. This includes modernization of hardware and software.

Restrictions on Use

While recipients have considerable flexibility to use Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to address the diverse needs of their communities, some restrictions on use of funds apply.

OFFSET A REDUCTION IN NET TAX REVENUE
• States and territories may not use this funding to directly or indirectly offset a reduction in net tax revenue resulting from a change in law, regulation, or administrative interpretation beginning on March 3, 2021, through the last day of the fiscal year in which the funds provided have been spent. If a state or territory cuts taxes during this period, it must demonstrate how it paid for the tax cuts from sources other than SLFRF, such as by enacting policies to raise other sources of revenue, by cutting spending, or through higher revenue due to economic growth. If the funds provided have been used to offset tax cuts, the amount used for this purpose must be repaid to the Treasury.

DEPOSITS INTO PENSION FUNDS
• No recipients except Tribal governments may use this funding to make a deposit to a pension fund. Treasury defines a “deposit” as an extraordinary contribution to a pension fund for the purpose of reducing an accrued, unfunded liability. While pension deposits are prohibited, recipients may use funds for routine payroll contributions connected to an eligible use of funds (e.g., for public health and safety staff). Examples of extraordinary payments include ones that:

 Reduce a liability incurred prior to the
start of the COVID-19 public health
emergency and occur outside the
recipient's regular timing for making the
payment
 Occur at the regular time for pension
contributions but is larger than a regular
payment would have been

ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
Additional restrictions and requirements that apply across all eligible use categories include:
• No debt service or replenishing financial reserves. Since SLFRF funds are intended to be used prospectively, recipients may not use SLFRF funds for debt service or replenishing financial reserves (e.g., rainy day funds).

• No satisfaction of settlements and judgments. Satisfaction of any obligation arising under or pursuant to a settlement agreement, judgment, consent decree, or judicially confirmed debt restructuring in a judicial, administrative, or regulatory proceeding is itself not an eligible use.

However, if a settlement requires the recipient to provide services or incur other costs that are an eligible use of SLFRF funds, SLFRF may be used for those costs.

• Additional general restrictions. SLFRF funds may not be used for a project that conflicts with or contravenes the purpose of the American Rescue Plan Act statute (e.g., uses of funds that 449 of 629
42 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds: Overview of the Final Rule U.S. Department of the Treasury

undermine COVID-19 mitigation practices in line with CDC guidance and recommendations) and may not be used in violation of the Award Terms and Conditions or conflict of interest requirements under the Uniform Guidance. Other applicable laws and regulations, outside of SLFRF program requirements, may also apply (e.g., laws around procurement, contracting, conflicts-of-interest, environmental standards, or civil rights).

Program Administration

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds final rule details a number of administrative processes and requirements, including on distribution of funds, timeline for use of funds, transfer of funds, treatment of loans, use of funds to meet non-federal match or cost-share requirements, administrative expenses, reporting on use of funds, and remediation and recoupment of funds used for ineligible purposes. This section provides a summary for the most frequently asked questions.

TIMELINE FOR USE OF FUNDS
Under the SLFRF, funds must be used for costs incurred on or after March 3, 2021. Further, costs must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and expended by December 31, 2026.

TRANSFERS
Recipients may undertake projects on their own or through subrecipients, which carry out eligible uses on behalf of a recipient, including pooling funds with other recipients or blending and braiding SLFRF funds with other sources of funds. Localities may also transfer their funds to the state through section 603(c)(4), which will decrease the locality’s award and increase the state award amounts.

LOANS
Recipients may generally use SLFRF funds to provide loans for uses that are otherwise eligible, although there are special rules about how recipients should track program income depending on the length of the loan. Recipients should consult the final rule if they seek to utilize these provisions.

NON-FEDERAL MATCH OR COST-SHARE REQUIREMENTS
Funds available under the “revenue loss” eligible use category (sections 602(c)(1)(C) and 603(c)(1)(C) of the Social Security Act) generally may be used to meet the non-federal cost-share or matching requirements of other federal programs. However, note that SLFRF funds may not be used as the non- federal share for purposes of a state’s Medicaid and CHIP programs because the Office of Management and Budget has approved a waiver as requested by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services pursuant to 2 CFR 200.102 of the Uniform Guidance and related regulations.

SLFRF funds beyond those that are available under the revenue loss eligible use category may not be used to meet the non-federal match or cost-share requirements of other federal programs, other than as specifically provided for by statute. As an example, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act provides that SLFRF funds may be used to meet the non-federal match requirements of authorized Bureau of Reclamation projects and certain broadband deployment projects. Recipients should consult the final rule for further details if they seek to utilize SLFRF funds as a match for these projects.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
SLFRF funds may be used for direct and indirect administrative expenses involved in administering the program. For details on permissible direct and indirect administrative costs, recipients should refer to Treasury’s Compliance and Reporting Guidance. Costs incurred for the same purpose in like circumstances must be treated consistently as either direct or indirect costs. 451 of 629

REPORTING, COMPLIANCE & RECOUPMENT
Recipients are required to comply with Treasury’s Compliance and Reporting Guidance, which includes submitting mandatory periodic reports to Treasury.

Funds used in violation of the final rule are subject to remediation and recoupment. As outlined in the final rule, Treasury may identify funds used in violation through reporting or other sources. Recipients will be provided with an initial written notice of recoupment with an opportunity to submit a request for reconsideration before Treasury provides a final notice of recoupment. If the recipient receives an initial notice of recoupment and does not submit a request for reconsideration, the initial notice will be deemed the final notice. Treasury may pursue other forms of remediation and monitoring in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, recoupment.

REVISIONS TO THE OVERVIEW OF THE FINAL RULE:
• January 18, 2022 (p. 4, p. 16): Clarification that the revenue loss standard allowance is “up to” $10 million under the Replacing Lost Public Sector Revenue eligible use category; addition of further information on the eligibility of general infrastructure, general economic development, and worker development projects under the Public Health and Negative Economic Impacts eligible use category.

o If no election is made, option (b) (use of accrued paid leave balances during the h oliday closure) shall apply.

Section 2 Equity Wage Increases

The City had a compensation study of MEA represented classifications performed by Ralph Andersen & Associates and provided a copy of the study to MEA. The parties agree the City will provide 70% of the percent needed to get classifications and classification series to median and provide 1/3rd of that percentage effective the first full pay period after Council approval of this MOU, 1/3rd of that percentage effective the first full pay period in January 2023 and 1/3rd that percentage the first full pay period in January 2024. These percentages will be added to the wage increases to be provided these same dates under Section 1.

495 of 629
39 NCMEA Agreement January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2024
For example, if Ralph Andersen concluded a classification is 15.0% behind median, 70% of 15% is 10.5%. As such, the classification would receive 10.5% in equity increases equally divided across the three years of the MOU. Specifically, the classification would receive a 3.5% equity increase in Year 1 and in Year 2 and in Year 3, for total wage increases of 19.5% over the 3-year term (without compounding), i.e. 6.5% wage increases each year when the equity increases are combined with the base wage increases in Section 1.

Appendix A to this MOU agreement contains a salary schedule for each year of the agreement term, which lists the five salary steps of each MEA classification. The wages reflected in Appendix A include the annual 3% increases and equity wage increases as defined in Section 1 and 2 above.

ITEM
Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City, California, approving salary and benefit changes for the Confidential, Management, and Executive employee groups, effective February 8, 2022, and authorizing a Fiscal Year 2021-2022 budget appropriation of $159,750 to fund said salary and benefit increases.

BACKGROUND

The City of National City has three formal union represented employee associations, Police Officers’ Association, Firefighters’ Association, and Municipal Employees’ Association (MEA), and three informal employee groups who are not represented or subject to the terms of collective labor bargaining, Confidential, Management, and Executives.

Over the past few years, the City has worked with the union represented employee associations to align all three labor agreements to the same term. The last set of labor agreements ended on December 31, 2021 and the City negotiating team has concluded negotiations with two of the three groups for a new three year term of January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2024. As part of the term alignment, the City is striving to consolidate decision making related to personnel costs in order to weigh the total impact on the City’s finances and in order to move towards equity both between the employee groups and between the City and neighboring public agencies.

Although they are not formally represented employees, the Confidential, Management, and Executive employees’ salary and benefits should be revisited when significant changes are made to the salary and benefits of the formally represented employees.

This achieves equitable treatment of staff and resolves issues of salary compaction in which represented employee wages might equal or exceed the wages of their supervisors.

Confidential Employees

Historically, Confidential employees have received similar wages and benefits as the MEA employees. This employee group includes the Executive Assistant series, the Management Information Systems Technician series and the Payroll Technician classifications. As such, the MEA compensation plan is typically the internal benchmark for the Confidential employee group, with some deviation primarily intended to provide a “premium” benefit to members of the Confidential employee group in recognition of their loss of formal representation and bargaining and the rights and privileges associated with such. Therefore, staff is recommending the following salary and benefit 558 of 629
