A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION URGING THE 117th UNITED
STATES CONGRESS TO ADOPT THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN IN ORDER TO
GET CRUCIAL RELIEF TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE;
DIRECTING THE CITY CLERK TO TRANSMIT A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO
THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AS STATED HEREIN.
WHEREAS, the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and economic fallout are
destroying lives and livelihoods across the country as the United States continues to set record
high infection and death rates and our economy has endured lows unseen since the Great
Depression; and
WHEREAS, millions of Americans remain out of work, food insecurity is climbing, and
our most vulnerable communities are being forced to bear the brunt of the crisis; and
WHEREAS, the American Rescue Plan ("Plan") as proposed will provide three hundred
fifty billion dollars ($350,000,000,000.00) to state and local governments to keep their public
health and safety and other frontline workers employed, to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine, to
increase COVID-19 testing, and to maintain vital services; and
WHEREAS, the Plan will provide direct assistance to households across America with
one thousand four hundred dollars ($1,400.00) per person; and
WHEREAS, the Plan will also provide direct housing and nutrition assistance to families
struggling to get by, expand access to safe and reliable child care and affordable health care,
extend and expand unemployment insurance so American workers can pay their bills, and give
families with children as well as childless workers a boost through enhanced tax credits; and
WHEREAS, the Miami City Commission supports the implementation of the Plan to
ensure that health, safety, and welfare of our residents is protected;
