Direct staff to return to your Board before the end of December 2022 with a progress report on a potential second round of subrecipient programs, utilizing any funds remaining from the County’s $194,063,657 allocation of SLFRF, and seek direction from your Board to either fund programs in the second round application pool, or to reopen the subrecipient application solicitation period.
REPORT
Approval of the second recommendation action would establish a Subrecipient Monitoring Policy that would outline the County’s subrecipient oversight process for the implementation of the various subrecipient programs. The third recommendation enables your Board to discuss and adjust, as necessary, the recommended applications for programs to be funded by the SLFRF program. The fourth recommendation would direct staff to further evaluate each program for SLFRF eligibility and return to your Board with written agreements for each of the earmarked programs that qualify as eligible uses under the-SLFRF program. Staff recommends that priority be given to infrastructure improvement programs related to drinking water, storage, and sewer treatment under the Category D of the SLFRF Program. The last recommendation will direct staff to return to your Board before the end of December 2022 with a progress report on a potential second round of subrecipient projects, utilizing any SLFRF remaining from the County’s $194,063,657 allocation, to either fund programs in the existing application pool, or to reopen a subrecipient application solicitation period. This item is countywide.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board may modify the list of first round recommended proposals from that recommended by the Ad-Hoc Committee and choose to fund other subrecipient applications that were submitted to the County Administrative Office (CAO) during the 30-day solicitation period, subject to review and confirmation of SLFRF eligibility by County staff.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost associated with recommended actions. Costs for the implementation of each subrecipient program to be funded with SLFRF will require the execution of a proposed written subrecipient agreement acceptable to the County with each of the awarded entities. All drawdown requests of subrecipients submitted to the CAO shall be in writing and include detailed purchase orders, receipts, and reimbursement requests, detailing items purchased, and expenses incurred or anticipated to be incurred in support of the completing the awarded program. The CAO and Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector will review all written drawdown requests to ensure compliance with ARPA-SLFRF prior to releasing payments to the awarded subrecipients. Costs for the recommended subrecipient applications will be funded through Auditor-Controller/Treasurer-Tax Collector Org 1033 - Disaster Claiming, Fund 0026, Subclass 91021.
DISCUSSION:
The Department of the Treasury’s 31 CFR Part 35 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Interim Final Rule (“Interim Final Rule”) and Final Rule (“Final Rule”) establish a framework for determining the types of programs and services that are eligible under the ARPA. SLFRF may be used for eligible activities under four general categories:
A. Respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency or its negative economic impacts;
B. Provide premium pay for essential workers;
C. Replace public sector revenue loss, subject to certain limitations; and
D. Make necessary investments in infrastructure such as in water, sewer, and broadband.
The Final Rule permits SLFRF to be used to cover costs for eligible activities within those four general categories for the period that begins March 3, 2021 and ends on December 31, 2024. Recipients and its subrecipients, must return any funds to the U.S. Department of the Treasury which are not obligated by December 31, 2024, and any funds not expended to cover such obligations by December 31, 2026.
On February 1, 2022, your Board approved the Ad-Hoc Committee’s expenditure plan, which earmarked funds for proposals that may be funded either in whole or in part by the County’s allocation of SLFRF. The approved expenditure plan included $37.3 million to fund subrecipient programs that would be managed by legal entities other than the County. Within the $37.3 million item, your Board approved $14,105,219 in SLFRF to be made available to qualifying legal entities for eligible uses and programs, and to be selected through a 30-day open application period and subsequent selection process.
On February 4, 2022, County staff provided an email notification to over 250 representatives consisting of several community-based organizations, small businesses, and special districts to announce the County’s subrecipient application solicitation period. The subrecipient application solicitation period opened on Monday, February 7, 2022, and ended Wednesday, March 9, 2022, at 5:00 p.m. County staff provided email reminders, social media announcements, and held two evening Zoom webinars during the open application period. The webinars covered the subrecipient application materials and were held at 6:00 p.m. on February 9, 2022, and February 23, 2022. For each of the webinars, attendance ranged from 15 to 25 participants representing various local organizations. At the conclusion of the application period, the County received a total of 47 applications representing an estimated total value of $57 million, categorized as follows:
• Category A: Respond to the COVID-19 public health emergency or its negative economic impacts.
o Requested amount: $45.6 million, estimate.
• Category D: Necessary infrastructure improvements to address water capacity, water storage, or wastewater facilities in disadvantaged communities in the County.
o Requested amount: $11.3 million, estimate.
Subrecipient Monitoring Policy
The Final Rule provides that recipients of SLFRF, in this case, the County, may undertake projects on their own, or through subrecipients for eligible uses, on behalf of the recipient. To ensure that SLFRF awards are not used for ineligible purposes, the Final Rule states that recipients of SLFRF are responsible to monitor and oversee the subrecipients’ use of SLFRF. Recipients are accountable to the Treasury in accordance with 2 CFR 200.332, which includes ensuring that their subrecipients comply with SLFRF, all statutes, and reporting requirements.
The recommended Subrecipient Monitoring Policy included as Attachment A to this item would, if adopted by your Board, establish a County-wide policy for subrecipient oversight, to ensure uniform and consistent compliance by the County’s subrecipients with the SLFRF Program.
Ad-Hoc Committee’s First Round Subrecipient Priority List
On March 25, 2022, the Ad-Hoc committee received a summary of the subrecipient applications received by the CAO during the 30-day open solicitation period. All subrecipient application packets were then shared with the Selection Review Panel. The applications were evaluated to determine which applications best achieve your Board’s adopted Guiding Principles for funding within a reasonable budget and timeline, and which also support a strong and equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Selection Review Panel did not disqualify or remove any applications. A copy of the reviewing criteria and all subrecipient applications submitted to the CAO are available on Fresno County’s ARPA website.
On May 11, 2022, the Selection Review Panel convened to provide input regarding each application. County staff evaluated the input provided by the Selection Review Panel to determine the applications that had the most general support, and best align with your Board’s adopted Guiding Principles. County staff then provided the Ad-Hoc committee with a recommended Selection List, based on this input.
On May 26, 2022, the Ad-Hoc committee convened to discuss the recommended Subrecipient Monitoring Policy (Attachment A) and finalize the recommended Selection List (Attachment B), with the assistance of County staff.
The Ad-Hoc committee’s First Round recommended applications would earmark funds for 22 specific subrecipient programs with an estimated value of $13,954,929, subject to confirmation of SLFRF eligibility by County staff, and entering a written subrecipient agreement with the County, which would be approved by your Board.
• $6,569,204 would fund 13 programs that respond to the public health emergency or its negative impacts.
• $625,000 would fund four programs that would address negative economic impacts to local businesses; or, local tourism, travel, or hospitality sectors.
• $6,760,725 would fund five programs that would make necessary infrastructure investment in disadvantaged communities.
There are 25 unfunded applications that were received by the County, with an estimated value of $40.1 million. Staff anticipates that by the end of Fall 2022 there may be available remaining funds to earmark for a second round of subrecipient projects. Staff recommends that the unfunded applications be held and considered in the event a second subrecipient round becomes available later this year. If that is the case, your Board may either select programs to fund from the existing subrecipient application pool, or choose to invite additional entities to apply for funding, by reopening the application solicitation period.
If your Board moves forward with the Ad-Hoc committee’s First Round Subrecipient Priority List for funding, infrastructure improvement programs related to drinking water, storage, and sewer treatment will be prioritized, followed by the programs that respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts. Staff will work with the recommended subrecipients to finalize the scopes of work, set timelines, and establish key performance indicators acceptable to the County for each program, and vet each program to ensure it is an eligible use under ARPA-SLFRF. Staff will return to your Board with written subrecipient agreements for each of the earmarked programs, for your Board’s consideration and approval.
