18 1 State and FEMA for full reimbursement for these expenses. He said staff thinks they will 2 ultimately be reimbursed but, if not, is recommending around $400,000 that can be repurposed. 3 Travis Myren said when ARPA guidance first came out, it was clear that revenue deficits 4 were an eligible use of funds; however, guidance changed, and money is now needed to cover 5 the deficits experienced by the Sportsplex and Visitors Bureau. He said as reporting 6 requirements came out for ARPA funds, it became clear that many outside agencies, funded 7 using those funds, do not have the administrative capacity to follow those requirements. He 8 said if the sub-recipients failed to report properly it becomes a liability for the county. He said 9 general fund money is recommended to replace the ARPA funds used for Outside Agencies. 10 He resumed the PowerPoint presentation: 11 12 Slide #6 Board Action • Approve an allocation framework for the FY2020-?7 Year Enc!
