REPORT - APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS FOR ONE-TIME
PROGRAMS AND APPROVAL OF LIMITED TERM MEDIA SERVICES
TECHNICIAN FOR THREE YEARS
BACKGROUND: The City received PG&E settlement funds in the
amount of $95 million in July 2020. Of that amount, the City Council
has obligated $88 million to various programs, including $40 million to
provide financial stability to the General Fund; $10 million contribution
to the Renewal Enterprise District (RED); $10 million for the
development of the Roseland Library; $20 million for fire recovery
projects in Coffey Park and Fountaingrove areas; and $8 million for fire
resiliency projects. The City has been allocated a total of $34.6 million
of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, with the first tranche
received in May 2021, and the second to be received in May 2022.
Over the last half of 2021, a working group of City staff reviewed
potential programs that could be funded by the City’s ARPA allocation,
or with the remaining $7 million of PG&E settlement funds, based on
sustainability, economic, and equity factors. The working group
provided a ranked program list to the Council as part of Study Session
presentations on October 26, 2021, and again on November 30, 2021,
at which time the Council provide direction for funding the spending
plans.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended by the Finance Department
