Purpose of Item:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION, ALLOCATING AND
APPROPRIATING $72,740,742.84 OF THE $137,639,417.00 OF AMERICAN RESCUE
PLAN (ARPA) FUNDS RECEIVED BY THE CITY TO ARPA EXPENDITURE

ACCEPTABLE TO THE CITY ATTORNEY, SUBJECT TO ALL FEDERAL, STATE,

PURPOSE.
Background of Item:
American Rescue Plan Act establishes four categories of eligible uses and further
restrictions on the use of COVID 19 State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to
ensure that funding is utilized within the four eligible use categories. Revenue
Replacement is one category. Revenue Replacement is the replacement of lost public
sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services up to the amount of
revenue lost due to the pandemic. The US Treasury Final Rule (31 CFR Part 35
RIN 1505-AC77) offers a standard allowance for revenue loss of up to $10 million, not
to exceed a recipient's SLFRF award amount, allowing recipients to select between a
standard amount of revenue loss or complete a full revenue loss calculation. Recipients
that select the standard allowance may use that amount for government services. The
City previously elected to use the full revenue loss formula. The resulting calculations
were $69,659,199 for fiscal 2020, and $93,989,727 for fiscal year 2021. The ARPA
SLFRF program awarded the City of Miami with $137,639,417 to respond to the
economic and public health impacts of COVID-19. As of today's date, the City's
Recovery Plan categorized only $26,714,000 as Revenue Replacement.
