LEEPplus Closeout and Adaptive Reallocation

The City Manager’s Office will provide an interim update on certain American Rescue Plan Act funded projects.

1. Decrease the budget of Aid to Nonprofit Organizations project from $6,961,322.19 to $6,141,420.06 and move the remaining $20,969.06 to Gun Violence Prevention Programming (currently $323,760.82).
2. Decrease the budget of Energy Rehabilitation from $1.9 million to $1,899,785.76 and move the remaining $214.24 to Gun Violence Prevention Programming.
3. Close the Vision Zero NE 3rd Avenue / Waldo Road project and move the remaining $242,166.40 to the Vision Zero 10th / 12th One-Way Pairs project (currently $250,000).
4. Close the Vision Zero SE 18th Street Sidewalk project and move the remaining $284,182.80 to the Vision Zero NW 8th Avenue / 6th Street Lane Repurposing project (currently $350,000).
5. Increase the Affordable Housing Down Payment Assistance support amount from a maximum of $15,000 to $30,000.
6. Increase the Affordable Housing Owner-Occupied Rehabilitation support amount from a maximum of $50,000 to $80,000.

Adaptive reallocation is the operational feature of the program that distinguishes it from capital-hostage frameworks. As projects closed at 100% spend, residual balances were redirected within the same expenditure category to higher-leverage uses. Project closeouts did not stall capital deployment.

Through September 30, 2024, $17.8 million, or 55.0% of the total ARPA grant, has been spent.
