CITY COUNCIL <br /> AGENDA ITEM 1F <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR: Hannah Lynch, Finance Director <br /> MEETING DATE: December 13, 2021 <br /> TOPIC: Accepting the Redistribution of Unrequested American Rescue <br /> Plan Act Funds <br /> VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> INTRODUCTION <br /> Local governments were required to request American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds by <br /> October 11, 2021. After the deadline passed, the state of Minnesota redistributed remaining <br /> funds amongst eligible local governments who requested ARPA funds. The City of Lino Lakes <br /> was allocated an additional $76,647.12 in the redistribution. Half was distributed on November <br /> 22, 2021 and the remaining balance will follow in 2022 unless guidance changes. <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> The City of Lino Lakes received $1,170,283.35 in July and a supplemental distribution of <br /> $38,323.56 in November. With the second payment anticipated in the Summer of 2022, the <br /> City of Lino Lakes total ARPA allocation is expected to be $2,417,213.82. <br /> The League of Minnesota Cities developed a model resolution to accept ARPA funds. There is <br /> not a specific requirement in the law that cities pass a resolution but it is a formal way to <br /> acknowledge that the city will be receiving the funds and grants staff the authority to take the <br /> necessary steps once the process is open through Minnesota Management and Budget. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 21-144. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> Resolution 21-144 <br />
