Strategy for Protecting the Funding from Reclamation by the Federal Government Ordinance 3167 moves funds from Revenue Replacement & Establishes a Restricted Capital Fund Funds from Repealed/Amended Ordinances go to Revenue Replacement Revenue Replacement Ordinance 3165 Creates a 2024 Budget Surplus Repeal/Amend Existing ARPA Ordinances 7
Restricted Capital Fund WHAT IT IS WHAT IT IS HOW IT WORKS HOW IT WORKS Funds accessed for specific capital purposes through enabling legislation of the Township Council Mayor, Council, or Staff proposes a specific project for funding Council deliberates and authorizes allocation of capital funds for the project 8
Why this Process is Recommended Based on staff projections, $14.4+ million in ARPA funds will not be encumbered or spent by 12/31/2024 if not spent/encumbered, the money will be reclaimed by the federal government; Reasons for lack of encumbrance: Capacity of small organizations; No clear definition/specification of some projects and lack of time to do it to encumber all the funds projects need to be clearly scoped for funding projections prior to any expenditure; Supply chain issues for equipment/materials Will allow for more stakeholder collaboration (e.g. economic development, small business, recreation and open space, etc.) in putting projects together for Council consideration There are serious infrastructure and other capital issues not being addressed due to a lack of a CIP that deserve Council consideration as well have the feds pay for it or the taxpayers Will allow for more collaboration between the Mayor and Council in making complex capital funding decisions 9
