body

DEPARTMENT:  Finance

 

ORIGINATOR:  Vanessa de Salome

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approve

 

PURPOSE: Provide appropriation authority for unanticipated Covid-19 response costs in 2021

 

BACKGROUND: Snohomish County was awarded a CARES Act grant of approximately $143M in 2020 (Ord. 20-031). The funds accrued interest during the 2020 budget year. The purpose of this Ordinance is to obtain authority to expend the remaining 2020 interest of $133,912.81 ($88,207 was used as a grant match for the Airport in Ordinance 20-089). Additionally, the CARES funds continue to accrue interest in 2021; therefore, expenditure authority estimated at $20,535 for the 2021 portion is also being requested (for a grand total of $160,000 interest earned/accruing).These funds are to be expended for the same purposes/uses as the original grant. The remaining CARES funds not expended in 2020 amount to $ 1,852,342; therefore; expenditure authority is requested as this amount was not known and could not have been determined prior to adoption of the 2021 budget in Nov. 2020. (Reminder: Prior 2021 Actions are Emergency Ord 20-095 for $13.2M and Emergency Ord 21-014 for $11.935M).  The continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic necessitates 2021 appropriation authority needed to respond to the pandemic. The need for childcare for 1st responders is ongoing. The need for this appropriation was not known and could not have been determined prior to the adoption of the 2021 budget.  In addition, $1,500,000 of fund balance is being appropriated to the Economic Development area for additional R3 grants.
