RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA AUTHORIZING THE ACCEPTANCE OF
CORONAVIRUS STATE AND LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY
FUNDS ESTABLISHED BY THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN
ACT OF 2021 ALLOCATION OF $28,767,625 FROM THE
UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN FISCAL YEAR 2021/22
WHEREAS, in May 10, 2021, as a result of the COVID-19 virus, the U.S. Department of
the Treasury announced the launch of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds,
established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA); and
WHEREAS, ARPA is designed to deliver $350 billion to state, local, territorial, and Tribal
governments to bolster their response to the COVID-19 emergency and its economic impacts; and
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista will receive $57,535,251 in two tranches with
$28,767,625 provided in May 2021 and the remaining $28,767,625 to be received twelve months
later; and
WHEREAS, eligible categories of ARPA expenditures include:
Support public health expenditures, by funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts, medical
expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff;
Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency, including
economic harms to workers, households, small businesses, impacted industries, and the
public sector;
Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services to
the extent of the reduction in revenue experienced due to the pandemic;
Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have
borne and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical infrastructure
sectors; and,
Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to
improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and stormwater
infrastructure, and to expand access to broadband internet.
WHEREAS, ineligible categories of APRA expenditures are;
States and territories may not use this funding to directly or indirectly offset a reduction in
net tax revenue due to a change in law from March 3, 2021 through the last day of the
Fiscal Year in which the funds provided have been spent. The American Rescue Plan
ensures that funds needed to provide vital services and support public employees, small
businesses, and families struggling to make it through the pandemic are not used to fund
reductions in net tax revenue. Treasury’s Final Rule implements this requirement.

No recipient may use this funding to make a deposit to a pension fund. Treasury’s Final
Rule defines a “deposit” as an extraordinary contribution to a pension fund for the purpose
of reducing an accrued, unfunded liability. While pension deposits are prohibited,
recipients may use funds for routine payroll contributions for employees whose wages and
salaries are an eligible use of funds.
WHEREAS, the City of Chula Vista’s total allocation is $57,535,251 and the City’s use of
these funds must comply with ARPA grant requirements; and
WHEREAS, prior to acceptance of these funds, the City had to submit a Financial
Assistance Agreement in order to receive the funds.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
that it: (i) authorizes the acceptance of $28,767,625 in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds, established by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) from the United
States Department of Treasury; (ii) authorizes the appropriations of such funds to an interest
bearing fund labeled American Rescue Plan 2021 with expenditures to be made in accordance with

a qualified and timely manner; (iii) hereby amend the Fiscal Year 2021/22 CIP Program Budget;
