Title
Vote to approve state funding in the amount of $26,436 for Communicable Disease Response (carryover)
Abstract
Introduction & Background: The federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provides relief to address the continued impact of COVID-19 on the economy, public health, state and local governments, individuals, and businesses. A component of ARPA is the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds which provides state, local, and Tribal government with the resources needed to respond to the pandemic and its economic effects and to build a stronger, more equitable economy during the recovery. With this, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for additional funding of communicable disease programs at the local level to ensure that all communicable disease activities are able to be completed.
These funds were originally accepted in FY23 and the remaining (carryover) funds are requested to be added to the FY26 budget.
Discussion & Analysis: These funds will be used to support renovations to the clinical services building in Siler City.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: Relates to Plan Goal #10: Foster a healthy community.
Budgetary Impact: None.
Recommendation/Motion: Motion to approve State funding in the amount of $26,436 for Communicable Disease Response (carryover).
