Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On March 11, 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) into law. Funding within ARPA includes $350 billion for a Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF). Of this amount 57% has been allocated to local governments, with $65.1 billion going directly to counties. Sacramento County’s share is approximately $300 million.

All SLFRF allocations must be obligated by December 31, 2024, fully spent by December 31, 2026, and can be spent by counties for purpose that fall within these overall categories:
· Support public health expenditures
· Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency · Replace lost public sector revenue
· Provide premium pay for essential workers
· Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure
On November 2, 2021, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved three Strategic Investments for the Phase One Funding Allocation across the priority issue areas as follows:
· Housing and Homelessness: housing and support for people experiencing homelessness, affordable housing.
· Health: COVID-19 response, public health, mental health, and substance abuse treatment.
· Economic Response: addressing negative economic impacts to residents, communities, and businesses.
On January 11, 2022, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors approved the allocation of $19,795,000 within the Economic Response Strategic Investment under the Office of Economic Development.
The Office of Arts and Culture (OAC) was selected by OED to receive the Arts and Non-Profit Grant as a local arts agency for sub granting programs in the amount of $2,200,000 ($2 million for grants, $200,000 for program management).
On February 15, 2022, Sacramento City Council approved the ARPA Arts and Creative Economy Funding Allocation and Framework of $10 million. $2 million will match the Arts and Cultural Nonprofits Grant allocated by the County.
Policy Considerations: The recommendations contained in this report are consistent with City Council Resolution No. 2021-0198, which requires City Council approval to accept and implement grant awards of $250,000 or more.
Economic Impacts: Eligible grants will assist the City in providing economic relief to those that have been impacted by COVID-19. This will support and advance inclusive economic growth, support people, places, and actions that promote overall economic recovery and impacts immediately.
Environmental Considerations: No environmental review is necessary because the City of Sacramento Page 2 of 3

recommendations in this report involve a continuing administrative activity and are not considered to be a project in accordance with Section 15378(b)(2) of the CEQA guidelines.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: Nonprofit arts and cultural organizations are a key element of the creative economy in the City of Sacramento and key drivers of educational, economic and community benefit. The County of Sacramento OED grant of $2,200,000 in ARPA funds will support a joint recovery grant program for arts and cultural nonprofits in Sacramento County administered by the Office of Arts & Culture, provided that the City of Sacramento match the County’s contribution of $2 million for the grants pool.
On February 15, 2022, City Council approved the framework and funding priorities for the arts and creative economy and matched the County’s contribution. Funds would be targeted at 501(c)3 nonprofit establishments that are involved in producing, promoting, or participating in live performances, events, or exhibits intended for public viewing and establishments that preserve and exhibit objects and sites of historical, cultural, or educational interest.
Grants would be provided over a multi-year period and can be used for operating expenses such as salaries and benefits for employees, fees for artists and contractors, mortgage/rent, utilities, and marketing. Fees and expenses associated with executing required COVID-protocols would also be eligible.
Financial Considerations: $2,200,000 of the project will be funded by the grant award received from the County of Sacramento. There is a match requirement for this appropriation. Staff recommends transferring $2,000,000 (ARPA Reinvestment Fund, Fund 1003) from the expenditure budget of the Arts and Creative Economy Program (I17609000) to the expenditure budget of the OED ARPA Grant Project (G1760900) to fulfill the match requirement. Sufficient funding is available in the Arts and Creative Economy Program (I17609000) to support the recommended transfer.
There are no General Funds planned or allocated to this project.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): None.
