[David Milliron]

The ARPA defines four broad use categories for the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund program: response to the public health emergency or its adverse economic consequences; provision of premium pay to eligible workers; revenue replacement; and investments in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure. The Final Rule maintains these categories but expands them considerably.

A new provision in the Final Rule allows municipalities to use a standard allowance of up to $10 million for the revenue loss category as an alternative to the previous revenue loss calculation formula.

Because the amount claimed under revenue loss can be used for "general government services," this single provision change provides significant flexibility for municipalities. "General government services" includes any service traditionally provided by a government, other than a few exceptions explicitly identified by the Treasury.

The Final Rule lists some common examples of "general government services," including the construction of schools and hospitals, road building and maintenance and other infrastructure, health services, general government administration, staff and administrative facilities, environmental remediation, and provision of police, fire and other public safety services (including the purchase of fire and police vehicles).

Hi there! We are going into a meeting with the County Commissioners here in Gold Beach tomorrow. Our county treasurer is saying that Gold Beach Main Street’s project is not eligible for the ARPA funds. I was hoping to get some guidelines that show we are eligible. We are stressing a bit about this, and trying to combat any negativity.

Thanks!
