SUBJECT: A Resolution Of The Ridgecrest City Council To Appropriate A Portion Of The American Rescue Plan Act Funds – KMCC Partitions And Flooring PRESENTED BY: Nerissa Wegener, Parks and Recreation Director SUMMARY:
On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which provides one-time fiscal relief funds to State and Local Governments and other program areas aimed at mitigating the continuing effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. ARPA includes State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to support urgent COVID response efforts to decrease the spread of the virus and to replace lost public sector revenue to strengthen support for vital public services. The City of Ridgecrest’s allocation of direct local stimulus is $6,930,958, with the first 50% paid to the City in July of 2021 and the remaining balance in July of 2022.
The United States Treasury has adopted the interim final rule, along with a list of Frequently Asked Questions, as guidance regarding the use of ARPA funds. The allowed uses of ARPA funding focus on four key program areas: to respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; to respond to workers performing essential work during COVID-19; for the provision of government service to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to COVID-19; and to make necessary investments in water, sewer or broadband infrastructure. The use of ARPA funds is retroactive to March 3, 2021. All funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and must be spent by December 31, 2026.
The City staff brought to council during a workshop on November 17, 2021 a list of recommended projects for the use of appropriations. These projects were discussed with council, community members as well as City staff.
1. Replace the Banquet Hall Floor in the Kerr McGee Community Center The Parks and Recreation department rents the banquet hall for parties, weddings and large events throughout the year. The current flooring that is in the banquet hall is original to the building.
The KMCC building was built in 1989. The floor is in poor condition and needs replaced. The floor is rippling and lifting in several areas and could become a tripping hazard, there’s also gashes, stains, and it’s coming apart at the seams and is not able to be repaired. The new flooring will be laminate tiles. By using tiles it allows for regular upkeep and replacement of sections of the floor when damaged. Current flooring cannot be fixed in sections.
At the council workshop a quote to replace the flooring was $75,000. Due to recent nationwide inflation as of July 1, 2022 the current estimate is $76,250 Ridgecrest City Council

2. Replace the Partitions that are in the gymnasium and banquet hall. The Kerr McGee Community Center has partitions that are removable and are used to section off part of the building such as the gymnasium, banquet hall and also allows us to rent out half the hall or a full hall. Currently the partitions that separate the hall in half as well as the partitions that separate the gymnasium from the hall are deteriorating as they are original to the building.
They are falling apart and don’t stay put together. There are concerns of someone running into the partitions and knock them off the track and seriously injuring someone. At the moment we have to use 2x4 boards to hold the partition in place in the gym so that they do not move back and forth.
At the council workshop a quote to replace the flooring was $845,000. Due to recent nationwide inflation as of July 1, 2022 the current estimate is $869,411.
The total quoted cost for both projects is $945,661.
Both of these projects will be completed using the pre-negotiated purchasing contract. The price quotes given are good until August 28, 2022 as long as the City has a fully executed agreement before then.
This Project was brought back to the Quality of Life Committee on July 5, 2022 for discussion and they recommended moving this project forward for council approval.
Staff is requesting that City Council approve this ARPA project and authorized Finance Director to allocate the funds from the ARPA allocation and allow City Manager Ron Strand to sign the contract.
ARPA Justification: FAQ 4.2: “Under (603)(c)(1)(C), recipients may use funds for maintenance of infrastructure or pay-go spending for building of new infrastructure as part of the general provision of government services, to the extent of the estimated reduction in revenue due to the public health emergency.”

STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT: Resolution Of The City Council Of The City Of Ridgecrest Establishing Additional Fees For Encroachment Permits
PRESENTED BY: Travis Reed, Public Works Director
SUMMARY:
On June 15th the City Council approved Resolution 22-41, a resolution adopting the annual budget for fiscal year 2022-23. Which included the City of Ridgecrest Schedule of Fees for the Engineering Department, Encroachment Permits.
Staff has determined additional permit fees associated with recovering the costs incurred in the processing of Re-inspection and Utility Company planned work applications. The Reinspection fee is calculated by time and materials spent processing the application. Staff determined that the Reinspection permit fee should be $85.
The Utility Company permit fee is calculated on a time and materials basis and has been established by past projects. This fee would be charged for planned projects by Utility Companies. Staff determined that the Utility Company permit fee should be $300.
In addition to this, the newly established Surveying Services fee was set at $9.25/lineal foot (LF) and is only applicable to the first 55’. Staff failed to consider the cost if additional footage was requested.
With the majority of the work in the office being covered in the first 55’, a separate charge is needed to fairly compensate the City for the additional footage and not over charge contractors who elect to have City Staff Stake Curb and Gutter. Thus, a rate of $2.75/LF was added for any footage beyond 55’.
This resolution is being requested to re-establish all anticipated Encroachment permit fees as mentioned above for Re-inspection, planned Utility Company work (such as mainline replacements etc.) and Surveying Services.
