Finance Director Zuba presented the staff report.
Burke was concerned with the overlap of the Measure D renewal and the projects listed for recovery money since they were similar. Zuba stated the Town had until December 31, 2024 to get things under contract and Measure D has a more expedited timeline. If the Town did not want it to overlap, there was more time for the ARPA discussion. Town Manager Donery stated the Town has an embarrassment of riches with the ARPA money, but it has to be one time projects. Burke stated the messaging to residents is important and she felt it would be a difficult division of messaging.
Donery suggested for staff capacity, metering the projects out over a logical time frame, like just fixing the town hall roof this year and leaving the ARPA money in place for future considerations. Donery felt it would make sense to push what staff knows they have for four years to spend the money.
17. Review the list of Town Council committee assignments and make appointments for 2022.
