RESOLUTION NO. 21-104
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE REDISTRIBUTION OF UNREQUESTED CORONAVIRUS LOCAL FISCAL
RECOVERY FUND ESTABLISHED UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT (ARPA)
WHEREAS, Congress adopted the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021 ("ARPA") which
included $65 billion in recovery funds for cities across the country; and
WHEREAS, ARPA funds are intended to provide support to state, local, and tribal governments in
responding to the impact of COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain COVID-19 in their communities,
residents, and businesses; and
WHEREAS, The Fiscal Recovery Funds provides for $19.53 billion in payments to be made to
States and territories which will distribute the funds to nonentitlement units of local government
(NEUs); and
WHEREAS, NEUs generally have populations below 50,000; and
WHEREAS, The ARPA requires that States and territories allocate funding to NEUs in an amount
that bears the same proportion as the population of the NEU bears to the total population of all NEUs in
the State or territory; and
WHEREAS, after the deadline of October 11, 2021, passed for NEUs to request ARPA funds,
nearly $12 million of the $377 million available to Minnesota's NEUs remained unrequested; and
WHEREAS, as allowed by the U.S. Treasury, the State of Minnesota has redistributed these
remaining funds amongst eligible local governments who requested ARPA funds; and
WHEREAS, $37,919.86 has been allocated to the City of Golden Valley ("City") pursuant to the
ARPA (Redistribution); and
WHEREAS, the Redistribution will be distributed in two tranches with half received in 2021 and
the second half in 2022.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Golden Valley, Minnesota,
that grant funds will be used for those allowed expenditures by the US Treasury.
