HomeMy WebLinkAbout2. ARPA Analysis to council Oshkosh
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: Mark Rohloff, City Manager
DATE: April 19, 2021
RE: Possible Uses of ARPA Funds
As Council is aware, the city is anticipating the receipt of+/-$20 million in federal funds under the
American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). We have received limited information from the National League
of Cities (NLC) about eligible uses of these funds, along with other references to prohibited uses.
However, specific guidelines are still subject to final direction from the U.S. Treasury Department.
I realize that there is a great deal of anticipation about the proposed uses of these funds. Rather than
get into the individual thoughts and requests that will inevitably come from this process, I thought
that it would be beneficial to have an initial analysis of the possible uses based on the preliminary
information we have.
For Council's benefit, staff has prepared the attached "Analysis of Possible Uses of ARPA Funds."
Please note that this is not a recommendation of the use of funds. The analysis identifies categories
and strategies that Council can use in their decision making process. Based on our understanding of
the law and our prior experiences, staff have made some suggestions pertaining to possible uses of
funds. There are also Expenditure Restraint Program (ERP) guidelines and levy limit laws that must
be considered. However, I believe that we have identified ways that we will be able to avoid any
problems in the state regulatory areas.
Within the general categories are subcategories based on the probable federal recommended uses of
these funds, as well as other general city and community needs based on the city's Strategic Plan and
annual goals that Council has set forth, strategies to use these funds for one (or more) specific
purposes, or to repurpose funds once they have been reimbursed. Some examples of potential uses
have been identified; however, these examples are not a complete list of ideas of potential uses. I
believe these examples can serve as a starting point for the public and Council to identify specific
uses.
In addition to the matrix of categories and sample uses, staff has prepared some appendices
identifying how these may qualify as "allowable uses" based on the preliminary information. These
attachments also identify short-term and long-term goals that the city may wish to achieve based on
our Strategic Plan and 2021 goals for the City Manager, as well as areas of relief for groups or
individuals that may have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, there are notes
explaining the logic of these possible uses. All of this information is intended to stir ideas and spark
discussions before Council makes any final decisions.
Moving forward, I would suggest that Council provide some general comments on this analysis,
request that staff seek input from various boards and commissions, and conduct some public input
sessions on possible uses of funds. Meanwhile, I will also solicit ideas from departments and
community stakeholders for possible projects or uses. Based on this information, it would be my
intent for staff to prepare a preliminary list of recommended uses, after which Council may seek
additional public input and staff analysis prior to making any final decisions.
Although the city will received one-half of our allotment in May 2021 and has until the end of 2024 to
use these funds, I think that before we allocate funds, it is beneficial for us to project the long-term
impacts of COVID-19 on the city, including the potential for lost revenue that we have not yet
realized. I am concerned that rushing to a final decision on use of ARPA funds may overlook
unanticipated impacts of COVID-19, as well as unintended consequences of committing all funds too
early. For example, I am concerned that the long-term loss of room tax revenue may continue for
some time. I would also be concerned about the operational impacts of some expenditures, and want
to avoid long-term commitments that the city would be unable to support. For this reason, I believe it
is prudent to go through the process deliberately, and perhaps leave some funds unallocated for the
near future.
I will place this item on the May 11 City Council agenda so that you have an opportunity to review
this analysis and ask questions of staff so a worthwhile discussion can be had. In the meantime,
please contact me if this information stirs any additional questions or thoughts on potential uses.

City Manager Goals for 2021
1 . Identify and pursue opportunities for the city to provide support for
short and long-term solutions to reduce and end homelessness.
2. Continue incorporating equity and inclusion into the day-to- day
operations and structures of the Oshkosh city government. This
includes implementing the recommendations of the DEI
Committee and Council, working with departments to achieve their
DEI-approved measurable equity and inclusion goals, and
continuing community conversations with cross-section of the
Oshkosh community.
3. Provide options to analyze, prioritize, and address the
comprehensive facilities needs of the City of Oshkosh.
4. To use all the resources of the City Manager's Office, partnering
with colleagues and stakeholders, to lobby our state legislature
to reduce the funding gap under the Municipal Services Payment
Program.
