(Staff: Vivien Avella, Finance Director/City Treasurer) (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) Item: 10.F. MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Vivien Avella, Finance Director Mack Douglass, Program Manager DATE: 09/21/2022 Regular Meeting SUBJECT: Consider Resolution to: Re-Allocate and Appropriate $7,701,674 of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds; Appropriate New Funding for the Princeton Widening Project SUMMARY The City has now fully received its American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) funding of $8,701,674, with the second tranche received on July 18, 2022. The purpose of this action is to finalize the appropriation of certain ARPA monies. Staff is requesting that Council consider approval of: • Reallocation of ARPA funding previously appropriated to the Princeton Avenue Widening (C0020) to the New City Library (C0056) in the amount of $5,688,798 in Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23. This will be a Budget Amendment to the City’s Adopted FY 2022/23 CIP Budget with no fiscal impact. This action simply transfers money from one CIP project to another within the ARPA Fund (2800). • Appropriation of a new funding source (City-Wide Traffic Mitigation Fund (2002)) for the Princeton Avenue Widening in the amount of $5,688,798 for FY 2022/23. This will be a Budget Amendment to the City’s Adopted FY 2022/23 Budget with a corresponding incremental fiscal impact of $5,688,798. • Reallocation of Fiscal Year 2021/22 City Hall expenditures of $2,012,876 from the City Hall Improvement Fund (3001) to the ARPA Fund (2800). This will be a retroactive adjustment made in the City’s fiscal year end closing process with no fiscal impact. This will effectuate ARPA’s contribution to the new City Hall Project (C0070) and pay back the City Hall Improvement Fund (3001). Item: 10.F. 441 Honorable City Council 09/21/2022 Regular Meeting Page 2 BACKGROUND In March 2021, the federal government passed the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), a $1.9 trillion federal aid package designed to help the American people and American economy recover from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The funding package included $350 billion in direct financial relief for all state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, of which $8,701,674 was allocated to the City of Moorpark. On July 28, 2021, City Council provided staff with preliminary direction on how to expend the City’s ARPA Funds. Subsequently, on February 16, 2022, Council provided additional direction to staff on the appropriation of ARPA Funds in the form of Resolution No. 2022- 4075, specifically related to the funding of Princeton Avenue. In short, Resolution No. 2022-4075 established a total project budget of $18,304,969 for the Princeton Avenue Improvement Project (C0020) and allocated $5,688,798 of the City’s ARPA funds to the same. The attached Resolution amends only that portion of Resolution No. 2022-4075 that provides for the allocation of ARPA funding to the Princeton Avenue Project. At the same February 16, 2022 meeting, City Council directed staff to proceed with the allocation of $2,012,876 in ARPA funds to the acquisition of the New City Hall (C0070). The attached resolution provides the formal appropriation for that funding. DISCUSSION The Princeton Avenue Project, which is currently underway, enjoys funding eligibility from alternative City funds, including the Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fund, which had an estimated fund balance of approximately $ 21.9 million as of June 30, 2022. Unlike the Princeton Avenue Project, the new City Library Project (C0056) has fewer funding options available. At present, the total cost of the new City Library is expected to be in range of approximately $25 million. The proposed reallocation of ARPA funds will provide approximately 22% of that total; staff is currently working to identify additional funding sources to close the remaining funding gap, including pursuit of available grants with the City’s grant consultant. When these additional sources are identified, staff will present them to Council for appropriation to the project. Guidance provided by the US Treasury Department does not prohibit reallocation of unspent ARPA funds and to date, the City has not expended any ARPA monies. The City Library Project is eligible for ARPA funding per the Treasury’s Final Rule. Therefore, staff is recommending the reallocation of ARPA monies from the Princeton Project to the City Library Project. The Princeton Avenue Project will then receive funding to replace the transferred ARPA funds from the Citywide Traffic Mitigation Fund. Staff is also recommending formalization of Council’s previous direction to appropriate $2,012,876 in ARPA Funds to the new City Hall Project (C0070). Purchase of the new City Hall located at 323 Science Drive was completed in late 2021. These funds will be 442 Honorable City Council 09/21/2022 Regular Meeting Page 3 applied retroactively to FY 2021/22 ARPA expenses to help offset acquisition costs incurred during that period. As budgetary appropriations lapse at fiscal year-end, a budget amendment is not required. However, Council must approve all interfund transfers; therefore, staff requests approval of the re-allocation of $2,012,870 of expenditures made in FY 2021/22 by the City Hall Improvement Fund (3001) to be paid by the APRA Fund (2800). The proposed allocation and reallocation of ARPA monies to the new City Library and the new City Hall totals $7,701,674. This will leave a balance of $1,000,000 in the ARPA Fund to support City Council directed community-based projects, including those previously identified by Council. The $1,000,000 of remaining ARPA funds allocated to City Council directed ARPA projects must be formally appropriated through a separate Council resolution, to be considered at a future date. City management is confident that the ARPA funds can be appropriated and spent within Federally mandated timelines, which require expenditures to be completed by December 31, 2026. Provided that Council approves the proposed resolution, all but $1 million of total ARPA funds received will have been formally appropriated. Shown below is a table outlining the proposed formal appropriation of ARPA funds within this item. Proposed ARPA Funding Appropriation Plan Project Name Current ARPA Funding Appropriation Proposed ARPA Funding Appropriation Princeton Avenue Widening $5,688,798 $0 New City Library $0 $5,688,798 New City Hall Acquisition $0 $2,012,876 Community Based Council Projects $0 $0 Unappropriated ARPA Funding $3,012,876 $1,000,000 Total $8,701,674 $8,701,674 FISCAL IMPACT The proposed actions result in a FY 2022/23 CIP budgetary fiscal impact of $5,688,798, arising from the need to find an alternative funding source for Princeton Avenue as the City Library Project will now receive the previously allocated ARPA funding. The $5,688,798 required to fully fund the Princeton Avenue Project will result in an incremental expenditure from the City-Wide Traffic Mitigation Fund (2002) which had not been previously budgeted in FY 2022/23. These monies will be drawn from the Traffic Fund’s existing Fund Balance. A detailed breakdown of the Budget amendment and transfer is presented in Exhibit A of the proposed Resolution. 443 Honorable City Council 09/21/2022 Regular Meeting Page 4 Shown below is a table showing the fiscal impact on the affected funds: Fiscal Impact Fund Current Projected Adopted Fund Balance FYE 22/23 Proposed Revision Resulting Projected Amended Fund Balance FY 22/23 ARPA – 2800 $ 3,012,870 $ (2,012,870) $ 1,000,000 City Hall/Library – 3001 $ (1,331,005) $ 2,012,870 $ 681,865 Traffic Mitigation - 2002 $ 20,581,624 $ (5,688,798) $ 14,892,826 Total Fiscal Impact: $ 22,263,489 $ (5,688,798) $ 16,574,691 COUNCIL GOAL COMPLIANCE This action is consistent with City Council Goal 3, Objective 12 (3.12): “Identify and transition to temporary City Hall location.” STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) Adopt Resolution No. 2022-_____, to amend the FY 2022/23 Budget to transfer $5,688,798 of previously appropriated ARPA Fund monies from the Princeton Avenue Project to the new Library Project; amend the FY 2022/23 Budget to appropriate $5,688,798 from the City Wide Traffic Mitigation Fund to the Princeton Avenue Project; transfer allocation of $2,012,876 of FY 2021/22 expenditures for the City Hall Project from the City Hall Improvement Fund to the ARPA Fund.
