6 AGENDA ITEM NO. 10.A
Discussion Item
Submitted By: Dan Newton, Administrative Services
Action Date: April 23, 2024
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution No. 24-6304, approving expenditure of ARPA funds for infrastructure improvements, general plan update, and marketed as presented in proposed ARPA Expenditure Plan.
Consider direction to staff regarding providing ARPA funds for private non-profit entities for community benefit.
PRESENTED BY: Dan Newton, City Administrator
SUMMARY: Attached is a proposed ARPA expenditure plan for City Council's consideration. Staff is requesting City Council consider adopting Resolution No.24-6304, approving the city infrastructure improvement projects, allocating $200,000 in ARPA funds for the general plan update, and expenditure of $159,000 for marketing Susanville.
Staff is also requesting that City Council earmark funds to be used as private investment for community benefit and direct the City Manager to negotiate terms and conditions of project delivery and property acquisition agreements as appropriate. Once completed, draft agreements will be brought back to City Council for comment and approval.
History:
On December 20, 2023, City Council discussed the proposed expenditure of ARPA funds. The discussion included the list of projects received and ranking criteria.
On January 17, 2024, City Council again discussed the proposed expenditure of ARPA funds. The discussion included a ranked list of projects. Council directed staff to bring back a report regarding the city's debt pay-off amount, including interest savings if the loans were paid off, and a plan to bolster the city's code enforcement program.
Staff provided reports on both of the items at the meeting. In addition, the City Council set February 7, 2024 as the deadline for submitting requests for the use of ARPA funds.
On February 7, 2024, City Council discussed the item and took input from the public. Council directed staff to prepare a recommended ARPA expenditure plan based on the discussed ranking criteria, with consideration of previously discussed funding categories and any
SUSANVILLE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM
7 other consideration as directed by Council.
On February 21, 2024, City Council discussed the item again and took input from the public. Staff has prepared a recommended ARPA expenditure plan for consideration by City Council.
On March 4, 2024, City Council considered a draft ARPA expenditure plan, and directed staff to bring the item back after the new city council was seated.
The American Rescue Plan Act provided approximately $3.5 million to the city of Susanville. The funds can be used for a variety of items with an expenditure/obligation deadline of December 31, 2024. On January 6, 2022, the U.S. Department of Treasury released their Final Rule for Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery (SLFRF) under ARPA. The most flexible spending category under the SLFRF grant program is “Replacement of Lost Revenue” for government services, which the final rule says generally includes any service traditionally provided by local governments. To take advantage of this category of spending, the interim rule required all grantees, regardless of size, to perform a complex calculation to determine how much revenue a locality could claim as lost. The final rule presents a significantly simpler option by permitting local governments to choose a “standard allowance” for lost revenue of $10 million for the lifetime of their grant.
Local governments may continue to use the amount provided under the calculation, but for those that select the standard allowance, they may use up to $10 million for government services with streamlined reporting requirements compared to those that choose to stay with their calculated amount. In practice, almost no Non-Entitlement Unit of local governments received a grant larger than $10 million under the SLFRF program. So, in effect, the rule excuses all local governments with fewer than 50,000 residents who received their grant through their state from requirements associated with the calculation of lost revenue, if they choose, and instead allows all those smaller cities and towns to claim the standard allowance. The city has approximately $2.5 million in ARPA funds remaining. At previous council meetings the City Council discussed apportioning the funds to the following categories: $1,000,000 for economic development as an external investment. For example, improving Main St. building facades. $500,000 for economic development as an internal investment. For example, hiring an outside firm to provide professional development training to city staff and recommend improvements to development processes. $500,000 for marketing Susanville and $500,000 for city facility repairs and improvements.
Input has been provided by the public as well as city staff and council members.
FISCAL IMPACT: Expenditure of approximately $2.65 million in ARPA funds.
Resolution No. 24-6304 authorizes the expenditure of $1,204,000 in 8 ARPA funds for city facility improvements, economic development marketing, general plan updates, and economic development marketing campaigns.
Consider earmarking or allocating the remaining $1,446,000 for various other projects to be discussed at the meeting.
ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve Resolution No. 24-6304, approving expenditure of ARPA funds for infrastructure improvements, general plan update, and marketed as presented in proposed ARPA Expenditure Plan.
Consider direction to staff regarding providing ARPA funds for private non-profit entities for community benefit.

9 Proposed ARPA Expenditure Plan
Introduc�on:
In 2022, the city of Susanville received $3.59 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. The funds were received during a �me of financial crisis for the city, when the city was facing a $1.2 million deficit budget. Approximately $0.94 million in ARPA funds have been expended for items such as opera�ng capital, essen�al worker premium pay, and numerous smaller items. The city has $2.65 million in ARPA funds remaining for disbursement.
The intended use of ARPA funds encompasses an approach aimed at addressing pressing needs, fostering recovery, and promo�ng long-term resilience within our community. These funds were earmarked for a variety of cri�cal purposes, including but not limited to economic revitaliza�on, public health ini�a�ves, infrastructure improvements, and support for vulnerable popula�ons affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Specifically, this proposal allocates ARPA funds towards s�mula�ng local businesses and enhancing infrastructure and services. Through strategic alloca�on and responsible stewardship of ARPA funds, we aim to build a stronger, more resilient community that is beter equipped to thrive in the face of future challenges.
Many promising ideas have been brought forward by community members, the City Council, community organiza�ons, and city staff. The engagement from the community on this item has been impressive and inspiring. Unfortunately, there is not enough funding available to accommodate all of the requests. This proposed plan has been prepared the Council’s considera�on, the plan takes into account previous discussions at public mee�ngs, Council direc�on, and public input. The proposed plan considers the scoring matrix, overall community benefit, public infrastructure, and debt repayment.
The scoring matrix and criteria defini�ons are included in this report as Atachment A. Projects were scored across sixteen (16) categories and overall project scores ranged from 10 to 30. To provide con�nuity between previous and current discussions, each project was placed into one of five categories closely represen�ng each of the four (4) categories that were derived during 2022 City Council discussion.
The four (4) 2022 categories are as follows:
1. Economic Development – External Investment
2. Economic Development – Internal Investment
3. Economic Development – Marke�ng
4. City Infrastructure Improvements
A fi�h debt repayment category has been added as shown on the next page. All recommended projects scored 22 or above on the ranking criteria matrix. Many high-scoring projects are not recommended for funding in part to ensure that cri�cal infrastructure needs within the city and par�al debt repayment are addressed.
10 The proposed ARPA fund expenditures have been divided into 5 categories as provided below and included in the atached project ranking list/scoring matrix (Atachment A). • Category 1: Private investment for community benefit
• Category 2: Invest in marke�ng of Susanville to support economic development. • Category 3: Invest in organiza�on efficiency by upda�ng exis�ng policies and procedures, developing new policies and procedures, and training staff in the implementa�on of them.
• Category 4: Invest in the organiza�on by addressing infrastructure needs. • Category 5: Payoff Debt.

11 Category 1: Private investment for community benefit.
Inves�ng ARPA funding into the development of a privately operated performing arts center for public benefit is a decision that can yield significant long-term advantages for our city. Such a project not only serves as a cultural hub but also fosters economic growth and community cohesion. Private projects o�en possess the agility and resources necessary to implement crea�ve solu�ons to complex challenges.
A performing arts center has the poten�al to revitalize our city's cultural landscape, offering diverse programming that enriches the lives of residents and atracts visitors. By leveraging ARPA funds to support this project, we can s�mulate job crea�on in the arts sector, bolstering our local economy and providing opportuni�es for ar�sts and performers.
The establishment of a performing arts center in the heart of the community not only enhances cultural enrichment but also preserves the historic integrity of the Sierra Theater, ensuring that it remains a cherished and invaluable asset for genera�ons to come.
Category 2: Marke�ng
Using ARPA funding for a comprehensive marke�ng campaign is an investment with far-reaching benefits for our city. In �mes of economic uncertainty and recovery, effec�ve communica�on is paramount to s�mulate local commerce, atract investment, and foster community resilience. A well-executed marke�ng campaign can showcase the unique atributes of our city, highligh�ng its strengths, atrac�ons, and opportuni�es for growth. By strategically promo�ng our city as a desirable des�na�on for tourism, business, and investment, we can s�mulate economic ac�vity, create jobs, and generate revenue streams vital for our post-pandemic recovery efforts. Moreover, a robust marke�ng campaign can enhance community pride and engagement, ins�lling confidence in residents and stakeholders alike.
By leveraging ARPA funds to support a dynamic marke�ng ini�a�ve, we not only amplify the visibility of our city on a regional and na�onal scale but also lay the groundwork for sustained prosperity and vitality in the years to come. Inves�ng in a marke�ng campaign is not just an expenditure; it's an investment in the future success and prosperity of our city and its residents.
Category 3: Policies and Procedures
Inves�ng in a comprehensive update of the city's general plan is not merely a mater of urban planning; it is a strategic move that can significantly bolster economic prosperity. By ensuring that our city's policies align with current economic reali�es and future opportuni�es, we can atract investment, s�mulate job crea�on, and foster business growth. A well-cra�ed general plan update can iden�fy strategic areas for development, streamline regulatory processes, and promote development that supports a diverse economy.
12 Inves�ng ARPA funding in a comprehensive update of the city's general plan is essen�al to ensuring the con�nued economic well-being and growth of our community. The general plan serves as the backbone of our city's development, guiding decisions on land use, transporta�on, housing, safety, and environmental protec�on. By alloca�ng ARPA funds to update the general plan, we can ensure that our policies and strategies are relevant, responsive, and reflec�ve of our current needs and priori�es.
Category 4: Infrastructure
Inves�ng ARPA funding into repairing vital city buildings, including the police department, fire department, and city hall, is an impera�ve step towards safeguarding the well-being and safety of our community. These buildings are paramount to the provision of essen�al city services. Neglec�ng their maintenance jeopardizes the func�onality of these cri�cal facili�es. By alloca�ng Inves�ng in infrastructure improvements demonstrates our commitment to priori�zing public safety and civic engagement, ins�lling confidence in residents and building public trust.
Furthermore, inves�ng in the repair of vital city buildings has broader economic implica�ons, serving as a catalyst for local job crea�on and economic ac�vity. The construc�on and renova�on projects necessitated by building repairs will generate employment opportuni�es for construc�on workers, contractors, and other related industries, s�mula�ng economic growth at the local level.
Category 5: Pay-off debt
Using ARPA funding to pay off debt is a strategic and prudent decision that can yield numerous benefits for our city's financial health and long-term stability. By allevia�ng the burden of exis�ng debt obliga�ons, we can free up valuable resources that can be redirected towards cri�cal priori�es such as infrastructure improvements, public services, and economic development ini�a�ves. Paying off debt not only reduces interest payments over �me but also improves our city's creditworthiness, poten�ally lowering borrowing costs for future projects and investments. Moreover, reducing debt levels enhances our fiscal resilience, providing a buffer against economic downturns and unforeseen emergencies.
Conclusion:
The proposed expenditure plan for the ARPA funds reflects a though�ul and strategic approach aimed at addressing the immediate needs of our community while also laying the groundwork for long-term resilience and prosperity. The plan priori�zes investments across five key categories, encompassing private investment for community benefit, marke�ng, policies and procedures, infrastructure, and debt repayment. Through careful considera�on of public input, council direc�on, and community benefit, this plan seeks to maximize the impact of ARPA funds, ensuring that they are u�lized effec�vely to support economic revitaliza�on, enhance public services, and promote the well-being of all residents. 13 Attachment A
