ARPA Grant Award Contract –
Community Builders aka Teen Shop
BOCC Regular Meeting
November 17, 2022
Summary:
• The attached contract memorializes the award of ARPA funds to Community Builders, aka The Shop Teen
Center
• The award is $75K, paid in three annual $25K installments beginning in 2022
Background:
• BOCC considered requests for appropriation of ARPA funds in 2021, which resulted in funding for $2.3MM of
requested programs and other purchases.
• The US Treasury made an allowance to direct recipients of ARPA funds to categorize up to $10MM of the
award as “lost revenue”, thereby minimizing restrictions on appropriations and spending.
• BOCC directed staff to solicit a second round of appropriations requests, including those recommended by
BOCC itself, for consideration in the 2023 Budget.
• The attached contract reflects the unanimous approval of BOCC for a subrecipient award beginning in 2022
and extending to 2024.
• The 2022 portion will be reflected in an amendment to the 2022 budget prior to year-end.
Analysis:
• This contract has been drafted by the Prosecutor’s Office, and contains language, including insurance
requirements, to minimize County liability arising from its role as a funding partner.
• Finance staff has obtained evidence of property/casualty insurance meeting or exceeding limits specified in
the award contract.
Conclusion / Next Steps:
• Finance staff will obtain an additional-insured certificate for the County prior to remitting funds in 2022.
• Finance staff will administer remaining annual payments following verification of contract requirements.
