As you are aware, ARPA was a far- reaching federal COVID relief measure that included, as one component, an allocation of federal aid to cities and towns to help them recover from the pandemic and rebuild our communities. Salem is expected to receive approximately $26.6 million in direct aid and an additional approximately $8.3 million through the state. In addition to these funds, Salem Public Schools will receive a direct allocation of approximately $9 million. Salem’s direct municipal aid is being allocated in two payments, the first of which, for $13.3 million, we received on June 14, 2021. A few weeks prior, the U.S. Treasury Department issued their “Interim Final Rule” establishing the guardrails and guideposts for the use of this historic relief funding. You can read the Rule at https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2021-10283.pdf and find a summary at https://home.treasury.gov/system/files/136/SLFRP-Fact-Sheet-FINAL1-508A.pdf . Locally, we plan to retain a dedicated professional – funded entirely by ARPA dollars – to work in-house and help us manage this initiative, reconcile and report to Treasury as required by the law, and ensure these dollars are used transparently and effectively to help our community recover from COVID. Our plan is to approach ARPA in a manner reflective of our community’s values and priorities. Over the coming weeks we will launch a public survey and assemble a working group of residents, officials, and community leaders to develop a document outlining the principles by which we will evaluate and select funding opportunities to best leverage this allotment of federal dollars. We intend to be thoughtful in our use of this one-time funding, working to support re- investment in our community, while addressing short and long term goals of our existing capital and operational plans. All of this must be done within the confines of the federal government’s limitations on eligible uses of ARPA dollars. This is a significant investment in our community, and we are grateful to the President, his staff, and the members of Congress who supported and made this historic legislation possible. Congressman Moulton, Senator Markey, and Senator Warren each advocated in support of this important legislation, which will help stabilize and grow our local economy post- pandemic. Clearly, there are immediate needs to be addressed, as well as a desire to use these funds to leverage future, equitable prosperity for our City. We will also evaluate opportunities to work with other communities in our region and with state agencies in a complimentary manner, to further maximize the impact of these resources.  13 CITY OF SALEM JUNE 24, 2021 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAYOR’S INFORMATIONAL PAGE Salem residents rightly expect that we will be transparent and thoughtful with respect to this federal funding. There are no shortage of needs and this aid will provide an opportunity to plan and leverage resources for the benefit of everyone in our community. To meet our constituents right to transparency in this effort, we will report publicly both to the Council and online at www.salem.com/rescue in regard to our plans for ARPA-funded projects and programs. Salem residents should be confident and comfortable in our ability to manage this process appropriately. We have, for the last 12 years in a row, received the Government Finance Officers Association’s Distinguished Budget Presentation Award and their Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. Our financial statements are audited annually, and our budget practices have been based on professionalism, transparency, and fiscal responsibility. These practices have resulted in the rebuilding of our local reserve funds from when I first came into office in 2006, the upgrading of our bond rating to its strongest level in the City’s history, and the highest levy capacity also in our City’s history. Moreover, we have experience with managing sizable federal grant awards in a responsible manner as we currently receive and manage approximately $12 million in federal funding awards annually. We look forward to working collectively to expend these dollars in a way that is transparent, strategic, equitable, and sensible.
