Title

Substitute resolution directing the Budget and Management Division to report to the Common Council regarding how positions and programs that are American Rescue Plan Act-funded in 2024 will be funded in 2025 and in future years.

Analysis

This resolution directs the Budget and Management Division to report to the Common Council regarding how positions and programs that are American Rescue Plan Act-funded in 2024 will be funded in 2025 and in future years.

Body

Whereas, With the City’s allocation of federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds expiring in 2025, the 2024 Adopted Budget utilizes the City’s remaining $92,737,548 of unallocated ARPA funds, and an additional $17,516,599 of reprogrammed ARPA funds, to fund salaries under the “Revenue Replacement” category of allowable ARPA expenditures; and

Whereas, Total ARPA funds used for salaries in 2024 are budgeted to be $110,254,147 in 2024; and

Whereas, Given that $110,254,147, or 27.8%, of total City salaries are covered by ARPA dollars in the 2024 Adopted Budget, the City will need to determine how to fund these salaries and other programs with alternative sources of revenue in 2025 and in future years; and

Whereas, The 2024 Budget was adopted by Common Council File Number 230001 on November 3, 2023; and

Whereas, Amendment 7 placed a footnote in the 2024 Budget stating, “The Budget and Management Division shall report to the Common Council regarding how positions and programs that are American Rescue Plan Act-funded in 2024 will be funded in 2025 and in future years”; now, therefore, be it

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Budget and Management Division shall report to the Common Council regarding how positions and programs that are ARPA-funded in 2024 will be funded in 2025 and in future years.
