AVAILABLE UNDER THE REVENUE LOSS PROVISION OF THE

ESTABLISHED UNDER THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
WHEREAS, Congress adopted the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021 ("ARPA")
which included $65 billion in recovery funds for cities across the country.
WHEREAS, ARPA funds are intended to provide support to state, local, and tribal
governments in responding to the impact of COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain COVID-19
in their communities, residents, and businesses.
WHEREAS, The Fiscal Recovery Funds provides for $19.53 billion in payments to be
made to States and territories which will distribute the funds to nonentitlement units of local
government (NEUs).
WHEREAS, The ARPA requires that States and territories allocate funding to NEUs in an
amount that bears the same proportion as the population of the NEU bears to the total
population of all NEUs in the State or territory.
WHEREAS, $1,510,717.65 has been allocated to the City of Monticello ("City") pursuant
to the ARPA.
WHEREAS, The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds ensures that
governments have the resources needed to fight the pandemic and support families and
businesses struggling with its public health and economic impacts, maintain vital public
services, even amid declines in revenue, and build a strong, resilient, and equitable recovery by
making investments that support long-term growth and opportunity.
WHEREAS, In May 2021, the US Department of Treasury ("Treasury") published the
Interim Final Rule describing eligible and ineligible uses of funds as well as other program
provisions, sought feedback from the public on these program rules, and began to distribute
funds.
WHEREAS, on January 6, 2022, Treasury issued the final rule. The final rule delivers
broader flexibility and greater simplicity in the program, responsive to feedback in the comment
process.
WHEREAS, the final rule offers a standard allowance for revenue loss of up to $10
million, allowing recipients to select between a standard amount of revenue loss or complete a
full revenue loss calculation.
