INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
Date: October 2, 2023
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Through: Ron Burton, City Manager
From: Kandy Daniel, Interim Finance Director
RE: P.R. 23362 Revise ARPA project categories.
Introduction: The intent of this agenda item is to request that City Council allow the list of
approved projects categories to be paid from ARPA funds be revised.
Background: The City of Port Arthur has received a total of$26,731,836 from the American
Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)which has been allocated in several project categories. It is requested
that the Recovered Revenue Loss Category (used for Government Services) be increased by $2
million to a total of$9.1 million and the Health Department Vaccination Clinic Category be
deleted. The current and requested allocations are shown in Exhibit A.
The cost of the health department vaccination clinic has been incorporated within the new health
department building project(included in the revenue loss category). Cost overruns have created
the need for additional funding to the main health building. In accordance with ARPA
guidelines, funds in the Recovered Revenue Loss Category can be used for this project and can
total up to $10 million. ARPA funds have all been received by the City and must be committed
by 12/2024 and expended by 12/2026.
Budget Impact: There is no budgetary impact and no impact on fund balance.
Recommendation: The attached Proposed Resolution No. 23362 requests that the list of
approved project categories to be paid from American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)funds be revised
and we recommend that the City Council approve it as presented.
