Background:
In August 2021, the Board approved the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Seminole County Recovery Plan and was awarded $91,646,669. The Recovery Plan specified projects such as Individual and Business Assistance with a hosted portal, Assistance to Nonprofit Organizations and Hotels, Community Paramedicine, Community Recreations and Facilities and Behavioral Health Initiatives in partnership with the Sheriff and municipalities for recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the first-year reports to Treasury, the calculation of revenue loss due to the pandemic in year two exceeded the allocated funding allowing Seminole County to report expenditures for general government services where applicable. To accommodate accounting and reporting requirements of the grant, it is necessary to move some appropriations from the 11937 ARPA Special Revenue Fund to the General Fund and sub-fund 00112 Special Project Fund. There are no changes to the Seminole County Recovery Plan as approved by the Board.
This budget amendment streamlines reporting for annual financial statements and to Treasury for the expenditure of funds. It will also assist to fully obligate the ARPA funding and mitigate claw-back.
