AARP. LOCAL FISCAL RECOVERY FUNDING TO VARIOUS LOCAL METRO GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS TO ADDRESS THE CONTINUED IMPACT OF CODE 19 ON THE ECONOMY, PUBLIC HEALTH, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES BY IDENTIFYING SELECT ARE FUN. ARE FUNDED PROJECTS TO SWAP WITH ELIGIBLE FISCAL YEAR 2023 24 PUBLIC SAFETY OPERATING EXPENDITURES AS ALLOWED BY THE U. S DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY. YOUR MOTION. THANK YOU. PROPERTY MOTION AND SECOND IS BEFORE US AND THINK MR HILL BRIDGE. IF YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF. FOR THE RECORD, AND THEN THE FLOOR.

SHORE'S SURE WILL. THANK YOU. I'M KEN HILDEBRAND, DIRECTOR OF THE LOCAL ACCELERATOR TEAM, WHICH IS PART OF THE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN AMENDMENT BY SUBSTITUTION. FOR THIS, OKAY? SO THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE ADDRESSING. IT JUST ADDED SOME CLARIFYING LANGUAGE TO THE ORDINANCE. THIS ORDINANCE IS TAKING SOME PROJECTS THAT WERE ALREADY APPROVED BY THE METRO COUNCIL USING ART DOLLARS, AND WE'RE SWAPPING THEM WITH GENERAL FUND DOLLARS, SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THE ART DOLLARS 44 MILLION. AND USE THAT FOR PUBLIC SAFETY SALARIES BETTER IN THE GENERAL FUND FOR THIS CURRENT FISCAL YEAR. THOSE GENERAL FUNDS WILL THEN BE USED TO CREATE PROJECTS IN THE IN THE BUDGET, OPERATING AND CAPITAL FOR THOSE ART PROJECTS, SO THERE'S NO NEW PROJECTS BEING CREATED. THERE'S NO NEW DOLLARS OR PROJECTS. ART AMOUNT ISN'T BEING INCREASED OR DECREASED. THERE IS ONE PROJECT THAT WE'RE THAT'S CALLED HOME REPAIR. THE FULL AMOUNT IS NOT BEING TRANSFERRED WITH ARE SWAMPED WITH GENERAL FUND DOLLARS BECAUSE WE ARE ONLY SWAPPING THOSE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN SPENT PRIOR TO THE END OF JUNE. 30TH 2023 BECAUSE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED TO THE U. S TREASURY. SO WE'RE ONLY

[00:25:02]

THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND AGREEMENTS. WE DON'T HAVE TO FIGHT. WE DON'T HAVE TO REPORT IT TO THE U. S TREASURY WHEN IT'S A GENERAL FUND PROJECT. IT WILL ALSO BECAUSE SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE KNOW THIS WILL SOME OF THE PROJECTS QUITE FRANKLY, WILL HAVE PROBABLY HAVE PROBLEMS GETTING ALL THE FUNDS OBLIGATED BY THE END OF THIS YEAR IF THEY WERE ART PROJECTS. THIS WILL ALLOW THEM TO CONTINUE TO BE SUCCESSFUL. UM AND CONTINUE AND USE THEIR MONEY INTO THE NEXT YEAR. ALSO SO A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY. STILL, THEY ARE ALL OF THESE FUNDS OR DESIGNATED FUNDS, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE SWITCHING THEM OVER AND THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING. YOU SAY WE'RE JUST SWITCHING PROJECTS GIVES YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE SOME OF THE SOME OF THE REPORTS WHERE YOU HAVE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, BUT NOT AS MANY BECAUSE THAT'S CORRECT. RECIPIENTS STILL HAVE TO REPORT TO METRO GOVERNMENT THAT WILL BE PART OF THE GENERAL FUND AGREEMENT, BUT THEY WE DON'T HAVE TO REPORT THAT THE U. S TREASURY AND THEY DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW. THE US TREASURY GUIDELINES, WHICH CAN BE PRETTY COMPLEX AND BURDENSOME. FIRST SMALL ORGANIZATIONS, LARGE ORGANIZATIONS IN PARTICULAR PROCUREMENT. BECAUSE YOU'RE ADDING AND IF IT GOES THROUGH ARB PROCUREMENT STUFF IS ADDING JUST ANOTHER LAYER. YES THEY STILL HAVE TO FOLLOW THROUGH GENERAL FUND. THEY STILL HAVE TO FOLLOW METRO AND STATE PROCUREMENT RULES. STRESS YEAH, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO FOLLOW THE TWO CFR 200 PROCUREMENT RULES. WHICH WHICH WHICH ARE SIMILAR TO OURS, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE FIRST ON TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT, UM UM COUNCILMAN ON HAS SHOWN US IN COUNCILWOMAN PERISH RIGHT IS IN THE PROCESS OF JOINING US. BUT SHE'S. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE YOU ALL RIGHT HERE, BUT I'M DRIVING TO PARK. GOTCHA OKAY, WELL, THEN WE'LL SEE YOU IN A FEW MINUTES, THEN. ALL RIGHT.

VERY GOOD. I HAVE COUNSELING HUDSON. TAKE A CHAIR. UM I THINK THIS IS A WISE AND PRUDENT THING TO DO APPRECIATE YOU. THE REASON I WANTED TO CHIME IN IS I WANTED TO THANK YOU FOR SENDING ALL OF THIS TO US EARLY IN AN EMAIL BECAUSE IT'S A COMPLICATED THING , BUT HAVING THAT THAT EMAIL UPFRONT THAT EXPLAINED IT WAS VERY HELPFUL. SO THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT. THANK YOU.

COUNCILMAN FELLER. THANK YOU, MR CHAIR. HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY? GOOD THANK YOU. REQUEST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS ON WELL, A COUPLE OF THE COMMUNITY CARE CAMPUS. SO WHEN I READ THE DESCRIPTION IN THE COMMENTS, AND THEN IT SAYS AT THE END OF, YOU KNOW THE SECURE THERE'S LIKE 600, OR BABY $248,000 LEFT OVER AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND, UM, SO THAT'S IN THE AARP REPORT THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. OKAY? GOTCHA SO, UM THEN WHAT HAPPENS THEN? I MEAN, AFTER I KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING TO USE THAT FOR SECURE, SECURING, MAINTAINING AND MONITORING PROPERTY. BUT IS THE OTHER PORTION OF ACTUALLY GETTING THAT UP AND RUNNING IS THAT AND IS THAT FUNDED? THAT'S NOT ART FUNDED. OKAY OKAY WITH THE OTHER FUNDING FOR THAT IT'S NOT ART FUNDED. SO OF THAT 200 AMOUNT 200,000 AMOUNT THAT'S LEFT. THAT'S LIKE AS YOU SAID, THAT'S BEING USED TO MAINTAIN AND SECURE THE PROPERTY. SO FIRE ALARM BURGLAR ALARM RIGHT SECURITY FENCING CAMERAS ON THE PROPERTY JUST TO KEEP IT SECURE. AND THEN OTHER DOLLARS LEFT OVER AFTER THAT, IF THEY WIN THAT TURNS OVER, THEY CAN ALSO USE THAT FOR THE CHANCELLORY PROJECT BECAUSE THAT WAS THAT WAS PART OF THAT PROJECT.
