Recovery Funds (LFRF) established under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021; and
WHEREAS under the guidance of the Final Rule, the County may use these funds at their discretion

essential workers; and invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure; and
WHEREAS MR 23-128 appropriated $19.8 million from the County’s General Fund balance for the
purchase of certain properties in the City of Pontiac, as an advance to be refunded from $10.0 million
in Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and $9.8 million from a State of Michigan Enhancement Grant; and
WHEREAS an additional $24.0 million of Local Fiscal Recovery Funds are being designated for
reserve in the General Fund Balance to address facility and information technology projects that were
delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other critical County spending needs to be identified and
approved at a future time; and
WHEREAS expenditure of Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for base payroll costs in the Department of
Health and Human Services is an eligible expenditure under federal guidance, resulting in General
Fund savings that will accrue to the General Fund balance for the purposes described above;
