Description
County staff provided updates and highlights on the $63.3 million American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) investments in our communities.
As it has been one year since the Boulder County Commissioners received recommendations from the ARPA Working Groups on the use of federal funds for an equitable recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, Boulder County staff also will be offering updates on the Phase 2 projects in the following categories:
Economic Challenges,
Housing Affordability, and
Mental Health and Social Resilience.

A
A
Commissioners
I'm
Leslie,
Irwin
commissioner's
office
staff
and
I
wanted
to
make
a
note
about
a
language
interpretation.
We
did
indicate
that
there
would
be
language
interpretation.
We
had
a
technical
difficulty
with
that.
We
will
be
posting
an
interpreted
version
of
this
presentation
on
the
website
following
this
meeting
and
Aisa
is
going
to
say
that
in
Spanish,
so
for
our
Spanish
listening
audience.
C
Doing
and
where
we
are
with
the
programming
on
this
and
I,
can't
tell
whether
there
are
any
members
of
the
public
I
guess
there
are
who
are
watching
and
for
for
for
those
of
you
who
are
watching
us.
This
is
our
third
now
public
briefing
where
normally
we
would
have
these
meetings.
We
would
hear
from
staff.
They
are
technically
open
to
the
public,
but
it's
really
impractical
for
the
public
to
actually
get
here
to
the
courthouse
and
and
listen
to
the
Commissioners.
C
Do
our
business
so
we're
we're
really
experimenting
with
trying
to
do
more
of
these
staff
briefings
in
public
and
allowing
the
public
a
little
window
into
how
the
Commissioners
operate
and
the
information
that
we
get
that
the
public
business
always
have
an
easy
time
getting.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
get
into
the
prison
20
minutes
and
then
and
then
we'll
have
some
discussion.
Excellent.
A
So
much
again,
Leslie
Irvine.
We
will
be
sharing
this
presentation
amongst
several
staff,
one
remote
three
here
in
the
room
and
about
the
American
Rescue
plan
act,
State
and
fiscal
state
and
local
there's
a
typo
there
state
and
local
fiscal
Recovery
Fund
dollars
in
how
Boulder
County
is
utilizing
those
dollars
and
next
slide.
Please-
and
this
is
a
really
high
level
indication
or
communication
about
our
total
amount
of
funding.
So
63
million
359
749
359
749
we're
awarded
to
older
County.
F
Equity
with
arva
good
afternoon,
Kathy,
Sandoval
and
I'm,
a
racial
Equity
practitioner
and
project
specialist
for
Boulder,
County
and
working
on
the
Opera
program
with
racial
equity
and
we've
seized,
certainly
throughout
the
whole
pandemic,
that
there
was
a
disproportionate
impact
to
Black
indigenous
people
of
color
communities,
lgbtq
particular
communities,
youth,
disabilities,
homeless.
And
there
is
no
difference
here
in
Boulder
County.
We
saw
the
same
impact
that
we
saw
nationally
so
to
address
those
disparities.
F
The
arpa
funds
specifically
outlines
requirements
for
Equitable
recovery,
and
it's
to
that
end
that
Boulder
County
focuses
on
racial
economic,
health,
equity
and,
as
stated
in
that
plan,
we
try
to
deepen
and
address
that
racial
Equity
focus
by
using
a
tool
that
we
have
with
our
partners
at
the
government.
Alliance
on
race
and
Equity
called
the
racial
Equity
impact
assessment
tool
and
that
allows
staff
to
collaborate
with
project
managers
and
Community
Partners
to
cooperate.
A
And
these
are
the
allowable
uses
of
the
arpa
funds.
I
highlighted
two
of
them
here,
which
those
are
the
areas
that
we
are
awarding
projects.
We
are
not
awarding
projects
in
the
other
areas,
so
Public
Health,
impacts,
negative
economic
impacts
and
repay,
replace
lost
revenue
and
we'll
be
going
into
that
in
more
detail
later
on
in
the
presentation.
A
This
is
a
summary
of
the
different
funding
rounds
of
arpa
dollars.
We
had
an
immediate
needs
process
in
2021,
addressing
those
true
immediate
needs,
and
we
will
provide
some
examples
of
those
projects
here
in
a
minute
that
was
5.2
million,
and
then
we
had
phase
two
projects
which
really
followed
a
robust
Community
engagement
process
and
Aisha
will
talk
more
about
that
in
a
bit
and
that's
46.48
million
dollars
and
that
occurred
in
2022.
A
Arpa
dollars
will
have
a
hand
in
creating
or
preserving
441,
affordable
housing
units
and
the
number
of
projects
we
are
tracking
in
the
treasury
portal
are
49,
so
we
have
to
report
on
49
projects
for
arpa
and
that's
a
lot
and
I
just
want
to
say.
We
won't
be
able
to
talk
about
every
project
here
today,
so
we'll
be
highlighting
some
projects
for
you
and
next
slide
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Sophia
who's
going
to
tell
them
tell
us
where
to
find
information.
G
Thank
you
Leslie
good
afternoon,
Commissioners,
everyone
I'm
Sophia,
lereni
I
work
as
a
communication
contractor
for
the
commissioner's
office
and
I
worked
with
the
American
Rescue
Planet.
So
we
have
different
platforms
to
communicate
with
public.
What
is
the
status
of
the
public
funds
and
this
content
is
located
in
boca.org
and
slash
art?
You
can
find,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
top
of
the
website.
There
is
in
espanol
in
Spanish
and
we
have
the
content
in
English.
G
You
will
find
information
on
community
engagement
and
planning
that
later
on,
in
their
presentation,
Garita
will
be
talking
about.
We
have
information
on
the
immediate
needs
project.
How
funding
was
allocated
and
phase
two
pandemic
recovery
and
relief
projects?
Any
stories
on
how
funding
is
impacting
our
communities
in
Boulder
County.
G
We
also
have
the
reports
that
are
very
important
for
public
transparency
and
we
have
the
recovery
plans,
performance
reports
for
2021
and
2022,
and
we
have
the
iPad
Newsroom.
Here
you
can
find
information.
The
latest
news
news
releases,
top
stories,
meeting
recordings
and,
for
example,
the
working
group
presentations
that
we're
part
of
the
community
engagement
air
process.
G
Next
slide,
please
on
this
section,
which
is
our
pattern
distribution,
you
will
have
actual
expenditure
categories
and
if
you
click
on
each
one
of
this
pie
chart
you
will
have
the
expenditure
categories
by
project
and
the
cost
of
each
project
and
it's
a
breakdown.
So
you
will
find
really
a
lot
of
information
there
that
you
can.
You
can
find
it's
correct
and
next
slide.
G
Another
platform
that
we
have
for
to
communicate
for
the
public
is
the
urban
newsletter.
This
is
a
newsletter
that
is
published.
One
newsletter
is
sent
every
through
two
months
and
you
will
have
communication
with
that
provide
articles,
interviews
stories.
There
are
all
the
information
and
content
about
our
phones
and
they
use
in
the
three
main
areas
of
investment
in
economic
challenges,
housing,
affordability
and
Mental,
Health
and
Social
facilities,
and
you,
as
you
can
see,
you
can
go
there
and
subscribe
for
the
newsletter
and
we
have
the
same
in
Spanish
and
English
Leslie.
A
Thanks
Sophia,
so
here's
a
little
bit
more
information
on
the
immediate
needs
projects,
there's
that
5.2
million
again
these
projects
funded
those
critical
needs.
You
know
at
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic
that
arose
like
food
insecurity,
employment,
digital
connectivity,
Child,
Care,
covid-19,
testing,
quarantine
and
Communications.
There
are
21
immediate
needs
projects.
Four
of
those
have
been
completed,
the
remaining
are
underway
and
again
people
can
find
out
more
about
those
on
our
our
website.
I
did
want
to
highlight
one
of
those
projects,
which
is
the
next
slide.
A
I
do
believe
and
that's
the
digital
divide
project.
This
was
a
really
exciting
project.
One
thing
we
found
out
early
on
in
the
endemic
this
phone
activity
was
a
real
barrier
and
really
caused
those
disparate
impacts
in
the
in
the
pandemic,
when
people
couldn't
connect
to
school
or
work
or
other
resources
that
they
needed,
and
so
we
provided
devices
through
community-based
organizations
and
to
by
devices
and
training
and
minutes
or
whatever
were
needed
to
provide
that
connectivity
and
I
think
more
than
400
devices
were
provided
out
and
what
we
have
heard
back
was.
A
A
And
then
phase
two
projects
again,
there's
that
46.48
million
ice
is
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
more
in
a
minute
about
the
buckets.
But
the
buckets
for
these
projects
are
economic
challenges,
housing,
affordability
and
Mental,
Health
and
Social
resilience.
I,
don't
have
time
to
talk
about
all
those
projects,
but
they
are
on
our
website
and
we
will
highlight
some
of
them,
but
there
are
28
phase
two
projects:
15
of
those
are
underway,
two
are
complete
and
the
remainder
are
in
planning
or
program
design.
A
But
you
will
see
that
they're
in
the
economic
challenges.
There
are
things
that
help
non-profits
and
businesses
and
individuals
and
housing
and
portability
you'll
see
that
there
is
work
to
develop,
affordable
housing
and
preserve,
affordable
housing
and
do
new
things
with
manufactured
housing
parks
and
in
the
Mental
Health
and
Social
resilience
category.
It's
really
all
about
access
and
providing
access
in
multiple
ways
that
we
can,
and
that
is
a
quick
highlight
of
phase
two
projects.
E
F
Leslie
so,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
Boulder
County
is
centering
racial
Equity
as
part
of
our
Opera
programs.
So
how
do
we
see
this
develop?
So
I've
got
a
few
projects
listed
on
this
slide,
I'm
just
going
to
briefly
go
through
how
racial
Equity
is
involved
with
arpa
program.
The
first
one
is
the
Regional
Housing
Partnership.
This
is
a
county-wide
project
to
create
affordable
and
Home
Ownership
program
as
a
collaborate
effort
with
municipalities
throughout
Boulder
County.
F
Another
project
that
really
is
focusing
on
racial
equities
family
connects
they'll,
provide
postpartum
support
for
families
in
Boulder,
County,
and
the
program
is
centering
raised
by
its
messaging
and
to
show
how
their
approach
reduces
those
racial
disparities.
With
that
information
connection
and
services
to
underserved
communities,
so
as
part
of
their
team,
they
visit
families
and
their
staff,
who
have
several
bilingual
staff
to
help
with
that.
Our
provider
return
referrals
to
Community,
Partners
they're,
also
of
centering
racial
equity
in
their
solutions
by
including
family
voice
ambassadors,
as
well
as
Community
advisory
boards.
F
That
are
from
the
bipod
Community
to
co-create
the
program,
the
trainings
and
the
implementation
and,
finally,
the
Longmont
child
care,
village
they're
in
the
process
of
purchasing
a
building
or
land,
and
that
will
be
a
hub
to
create
20
classrooms
serving
children's
from
age
birth
to
five
years
with
a
mix
of
Head
Start
child
care
assistance,
program,
Universal
Pre-K
with
a
slightly
scale
of
bees,
and
these
services
will
also
include
care
for
special
needs.
Children's,
Home,
visitation
group
learning
sessions,
health
and
nutritional
services
and
professional
development
to
support
early
childhood
education
professionals.
H
This
year,
for
example,
we
will
be
attending
the
Cinco
de
Mayo
and
we're
working
on
different
events
where
we
will
be
sharing
about
the
arpa
funding
specifically,
and
if
people
have
questions
how
to
approach
that
in
person
as
well.
Last
year
we
attended
the
resource
fair
at
a
researcher
that
was
from
the
county,
with
a
partnership
with
the
city
of
Boulder,
where
we
create
awareness
to
the
public
about
this
funding
allocation
as
well
as
Sophia
shared
before
we
have
the
newsletter
where
we
we
will
be
highlighting
later
we
have
been.
H
We
will
continue
to
be
highlighting
the
arbor
programs,
specifically
with
the
interviews,
as
well
as
how
the
funding
allocation
for
specific
program
is
Partnerships,
new
new
approaches.
So
if
you
want
to
be
in
the
known,
you
can
sign
up
for
the
newsletter,
and
this
will
be
bi-monthly
newsletters,
going
up
as
well
to
ensure
that
language
access,
we
translated
the
whole
Alpha
website
to
Spanish.
So
you
can
go
to
the
website.
You
can
see
and
read
everything
now
in
Spanish
and
we're
very
happy
for
that.
H
H
We
work
with
the
artist
steering
company
that
help
us
support
it
or
survey
that
was
conducted
in
2021
from
that
we
got
1543
surveys
completed,
thankfully,
to
the
community
and
all
of
our
partners
helping
us.
We
were
able
to
get
to
the
priorities
of
how
to
get
to
the
funding
allocation
for
this
fund
from
arpa
and
as
Leslie
share
before
the
economic
challenges,
housing,
affordability
and
Mental.
Health
and
Social
resilience
came
out
of
that.
H
Community
engagement,
Fair
space,
as
we
moved
to
the
second
phase
that
was
in
February
of
to
May
of
2022.
That's
where
we
created
and
did
a
poll
for
working
groups
and
specifically
the
economic
housing
and
Mental
Health
and
Social
resilience
from
that.
We
selected
39
participants
that
supported
us
from
different
organizations
in
different
buckets
in
there
and
from
that.
H
The
recommendations
from
the
working
groups
went
to
the
board
and
thankfully
now
some
of
this
contents
are
by
now
to
the
to
the
community
and
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
the
participants
if
they're
listening
right
now
that,
thank
you
to
you
for
supporting
in
this
effort
and
giving
us
your
time
and
your
expertise.
I
put
a
little
picture
in
there.
I
hope
you
know
just
thank
you
and,
as
we
move
from
our
second
phase,
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
H
H
We
are
hoping
by
late
summer
to
have
in
detail
how
you
can
access
and
get
to
the
funding
and
just
know
that
we're
in
the
process
we're
working
on
it.
We
will
find
all
the
details
as
it
becomes
available.
I
will
be
sharing
them
with
you,
so
you
will
have
that
information
of
how
to
access
the
funding
when
it
goes
out
as
well
we're
working
on
a
mobile
home
park
serving
initiative
at
the
moment
with
the
University
of
Colorado.
H
F
Went
through
a
little
bit
of
the
mobile
home
manufacturers,
housing
program
that
we're
doing
county-wide,
and
we
just
wanted
to
highlight
it
again.
So
this
is
a
meeting
of
community
meeting
at
one
of
the
manufactured
home
parks
where
they
became
a
little
bit
more
aware
of
what
the
potential
is
to
become
a
resident
owned
community.
F
So
it
is
quite
a
process
to
move
from
a
landlord
type
mobile
home
park
to
a
resident
owned
community,
and
so
these
folks
are
working
on
it
to
form
their
resident
owned
and
buy
their
car,
and
the
program
is
really
going
to
help
to
provide
some
of
that
assistance
to
acquire
that
part,
not
all
of
it,
but
within
partnership
with
other
communities
and
cities
like
the
city
of
Lafayette
or
the
city
of
Longmont,
as
well
as
Department
of
local
Affairs.
This
can
be
a
real
thing
that
happens
in
our
Boulder
County
Community
as
well.
F
And
the
cool
thing
about
this
is
that
we
have
Community
Navigators,
not
just
CU
students
helping
to
go
out
there
promoters
that
are
part
of
the
community
with
the
same
culture
and
language
as
the
people
whom
they
work
along
with
and
Community
residents
that
they
have
familiarity
with
as
well.
So
it's
a
real
opportunity
to
have
more
information
for
us
to
know
at
Boulder,
County
about
the
Manufacture
home
parks
in
Boulder
County
and
to
really
have
a
goal
of
preserving
these
important,
affordable
housing
in
the
in
Boulder
County.
F
G
Yeah,
thank
you
Kathy,
so
family
connects
I
Kathy
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
at
this
program
before,
but
I
I
will
explain
a
little
bit
further.
This
is
a
new
resource
for
Pines,
with
new
words
in
Boulder
County,
to
offer
highly
skilled
nurse
in
home
care,
and
they
are
bilingual
in
English
and
in
Spanish.
This
is
a
voluntary
program
that
has
no
cost
and
will
help
families
to
connect
with
Resources
with
their
specific
needs.
So
the
family
will
receive
a
visit
around
three
weeks
after
birth
to
ensure
new
Pines
continue
their
support.
G
They
need,
for
example,
vaccination
visits,
exploring
child
care
options
and
promo
promote
Child
Development
among
any
other
or
many
other
benefits.
Family
connections
designed
to
provide
care,
regardless
income
status,
race,
ethnicity
or
sexual
orientation.
Right
now
is
they
are
working
at
2023
pilot
program
with
some
families,
but
we
hope
to
expand
further,
and
if
you
want
to
learn
more
about
this
program,
you
can
go

G
H
Seven
local
community
non-profits
were
awarded
in
two
school
districts,
were
awarded
to
expand
or
create
new
programs
to
support
equilible
access
to
mental
health
and
Behavioral
Health
in
Boulder
County,
and
you
can
see
the
list
of
non-profits
as
well
as
the
school
districts
that
were
awarded
the
funding.
So
this
funding
has
been
out
and
if
you
want
to
learn
more
and
understand
more,
we
are
highlighting
each
individual
nonprofit
in
the
school
district
in
our
arpa
newsletter.
H
A
A
So,
if
you
look
at
the
spreadsheet
or
the
little
table
there,
the
First
Column
is
arpa
dollars
and
how
we've
spent
arpa
dollars,
and
so
our
dollars
have
been
awarded
in
immediate
needs,
phase
two
and
then
there's
Revenue
replacement
that
category
right.
There
adds
up
to
10
million
dollars.
We've
allocated
9.3
million
dollars
in
Revenue
replacement
projects,
and
we
have
an
unallocated
balance
of
642
thousand
dollars
in
Revenue
replacement
projects.
A
Several
four
of
those
Revenue
replacement
projects
are
actual
projects
that
we're
tracking
another
is
the
funding
for
Boulder
County
Public
Health
that
you
typically
give
to
Boulder
County
Public
Health.
Every
year
we
gave
them
those
funds
from
arpa
which
freed
up
that
money
in
the
general
fund
and
that
money
is
being
used
for
arpa
projects
with
those
additional
flexibilities
offered
by
treasury
for
doing
so
so
continuing
on
in
the
arpa
column.
There's
the
administrative
category,
which
is
10
of
the
total
budget,
a
reserve
amount
that
has
been
allocated
so
far.
A
You
all
awarded
a
five
million
reserve
and
that's
how
much
has
been
awarded
out
of
that
and
then
that
remaining
arpa
balance
is
what
has
been
unallocated
out
of
arpa
and
that
adds
up
to
our
total
award.
The
next
column
there
shows
the
relative
replacement
and
how
that
has
been
spent.
The
1.3
million
dollars
represents
those
four
projects
I
mentioned
that
are
actual
projects
in
the
the
in
the
revenue
replacement
category.
A
Those
were
immediate
needs
projects
that
we
moved
over
into
the
revenue
replacement
category
and
then
eight
million
dollars
so
far
of
phase
two
projects
in
that
category.
With
that
unallocated
balance
of
642
000
so
you'll
see
that
adds
up
to
the
10
million
dollars
I
the
green
part.
There
just
shows
how
much
total
for
each
round
of
funding
the
immediate
needs
in
phase
two.
A
So
that's
matching
up
with
that
slide
at
the
beginning
of
the
presentation
and
then
you'll
see
the
unallocated
balance
there
at
a
total
of
779,
943
and
I
know,
that's
extremely
dense
find
out
a
little
bit
more
on
our
website.
Soon,
we'll
be
posting
messaging
around
this
or
explanation
around
this
soon
on
our
website
and
we're
always
happy
to
answer
questions
as
well
and
I
think
the
next
slide
just
tees
up
some
questions.
C
E
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
I:
don't
know
if
you
want
to
go
back
to
spy.
Do
you
want
me
to
just
kind
of
bring
up
the
questions
that
they're
all
motivated?
My
notes
in
the
slides
as
you've
been
talking
so
I
can
give
you
that
slide
for
reference.
If
that's
helpful
to
anybody
I'm
wondering
about,
and
maybe
the
funding
pieces
is
to
start
it's
on
on
slide
four
around.
E
If
there
is
any
opportunity
in
this
whole
process,
if
they're
considered
it
as
a
team
about,
if
there's
anything
that
we
initially
worked
on
and
listening
to
the
immediate
needs.
I
have
a
question
about
that
too,
to
where
that
second
tragic
money
was
and
where
we
are
now
because
keeping
in
mind
we
are
three
years
after
we
were
all
I
can
stay
at
home
order,
so
taking
all
those
pieces
into
account,
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
anything
or
maybe
a
Time
that
we're
going
to
look
at.
E
A
Yeah,
so
all
along
the
way,
our
team
has
been
tracking
when
projects
do
wrap
up
or
whatever
the
unallocated
amounts
from
projects,
and
that
goes
back
into
the
bucket
and
as
far
as
all
of
the
a
media
needs
projects.
Many
of
those
receive
state
funding
that
had
to
be
spent
before
our
funding.
So
you
have
extended
most
of
those
projects
through
2023.
A
We
have
an
annual
report
that
we
that
we'll
be
doing
in
July,
and
we
were
going
to
take
that
opportunity
in
June
and
July
to
really
analyze
all
of
those
projects
and
where
is
the
status
and
what
should
continue
and
what
should
not,
but
that
so,
yes
there's
an
opportunity
in
ordering
a
plan
to
really
look
at
all
of
that
with
our
annual
report.
When
we
do
the
really
robust
analysis
of
everything.
I
E
Was
a
question
I
had
too
okay
well
and
similar
to
that
was
just
around
the
immediate
needs
question
and
trying
to
go
back
to
the
beginning
of
2021
and
you're
into
the
global
pandemic
and
thinking
about
one
of
the
projects
that
you
talked
about
under
immediate
needs.
I
guess
my
is
back
to
that
same
question
about.
Would
we
look
at
that?
Is
it
so
feasible?
There
was
to
me,
and
maybe
there's
an
opportunity
in
the
website
to
Define
what
is
new
projects?
E
E
There
doing
all
this
work,
and
so
I
just
somebody
from
transparency
standpoint,
would
be
really
helpful
because
it
can
be
confusing
about
what
was
actually
what's
new
work,
and
this
call
to
what
I
didn't
hear
today,
but
but
I
know,
we've
been
in
the
conversation
about
transformational
change
in
Boulder
County,
and
some
of
this
is
like
shovel
ready,
not
transformational,
necessarily
because
it's
been
worked
out
for
years.
So
somehow
just
delineating
that
in
the
website
to
me
would
be
really.
I
C
C
We
were
still
very
much
in
the
house
of
phase
of
things
and
trying
to
stand
up
back
to
the
loss,
right
vaccine
clinics
and
you
know
and
respond
to
the
need
for
enhanced
like
folk
Staffing
unemployment
lines
all
that
stuff-
and
we
were
very
you
know
we
said-
notice
some
things
because
it
really
didn't
fit.
That
immediate
needs.
I'd
love
to
see
that
list
again
because
later
on,
you
know
when
we
talk
about
the
spirit
of
arbit
money
that
we
haven't
allocated
and
some
of
the
things
that
you.
I
C
E
Exactly
yeah,
like
I,
thought
we
will
plan
to
bring
that
back
to
you.
Thank
you,
yeah,
that's
great
I'll.
Try
and
hurricane
press
slide
nine.
That
happens
just
curious
about
where
for
the
public,
in
the
conversations
that
we've
been
having
with
the
different
working
groups
and
the
student
committee
and
the
public
meetings,
if
we've
asked
the
question
and
what
are
the
newer
but
also
established
leading
Partners
might
be
saying
in
regards
to
how
to
get
this
institution
out.
E
It's
been
all
the
work
on
the
new
sort
of
some
fantastic
stories
that
have
been
captured,
but
so
that's
one
have
we
asked
Our
Community
Partners
how
they
would
like
us
to
disseminate
the
information
and
then
the
other
question
is
if
you
could
just
share
what
new
press
and
methods
or
techniques
of
Distributing
information
through
the
community
engagement
process
have
been
developed
through
this
propagation
process
or
where
that
might
be
in
this
building.
Thank.
H
Yeah,
so
something
that
we
were
thinking
of
as
well
is
how
do
how
do
we
bring
this
to
more
community
members?
And
specifically,
that's
that's.
That
is
a
challenge
as
well
when
we,
when
we
think
in
different
programs,
how
do
we
do
that
because
all
go
to
different
communities,
we're
talking
about
affordability
like
housing,
affordability,
mental
health,
that
is
a
specifically
a
different
one,
and
then
the
surviving
drivers
specifically
works
with
nonprofits
and
the
child
care.
H
Something
that
we
have
been
thinking
is:
how
do
we
bring
this
new
letter?
That,
right
now
is
on
the
website
to
in
person.
How
do
we
bring
all
of
this
content
out?
That
is
not
just
online,
because
not
everybody
has
access
to
internet
or
computer
or
they
don't
know
how
to
access
the
information.
That's
something
that
we're
thinking
about
how?
H
How
do
we
do
that,
and
and
as
you're
saying
asking
the
community,
how
do
we
the
Partnerships,
how
do
how
can
we
create
an
engagement
specifically
for
each
project,
so
we
have
been
navigating
as
well
individually
for
each
project
instead
of
a
big
approach,
because
it
doesn't
work
specifically
for
each
one,
but
that's
something
that
we
have
in
mind
we're
thinking
of
it.
So
we
might
be
asking
as
well
as
partners.
How
do
we
approach
that?
H
E
D
E
Sorry,
the
very
last
question
I
have
is
about
how
folks
will
find
the
application
process
and
what
kind
of
methods
versus
like
survive
and
thrive
is
one.
Are
we
working
with
everybody?
And
then
you
say
that,
because
everybody
there
was
like
130
people
who
applied
to
be
on
these
different
committees,
so
just
to
make
sure
that
they
can
share
the
information.
Even
if
it's
not
under
the
one
bucket
that
they're
focusing
on
which.
C
C
G
E
Awkwardness
of
that,
but
my
question
is
really
around
clawback
and
I
continue
to
get
emails
from
our
partners
like
at
National,
Association
of
counties
and
others
about
different
legislation
at
the
federal
level
introduced
with
clawback
Provisions
in
it.
So
right
now
in
the
Senate,
it
seems
that,
like
every
everything
pertaining
to
money,
it
has
a
collaborate
provision
in
it.
I
know.
Just
last
week
the
senator
from
Florida
introduced
some
amendments.
E
To
that
extent,
and
so
are
we
doing
anything
to
ensure
that
we
can
obligate
I
know
we
have
a
really
great
plan
to
have
it
obligated
as
by
the
end
of
June
or
by
the
end
of
the
year.
But
my
question
is:
are
we
doing
anything
to
ensure
that
these
funds
that
can
really
help
and
support
Boulder,
County
and
hopefully
a
transformational
way,
don't
get
clawed
back
to
the
federal
government
just
because
we're
using
a
deliberative,
thoughtful
process?
It
takes
a
little
longer
so.
A
That's
my
question
and
that's
exactly
right:
we
are
being
more
deliberative
and
doing
the
community
engagement
work
and
the
racial
Equity
work,
and
that
takes
time
to
do
and
we
are
working.
You
know
as
quickly
as
we
can
to
obligate
those
dollars.
One
Challenge
in
local
government
is
that
legally
for
state
law,
you
can't
obligate
a
budget
for
multiple
years,
so
local
governments
have
been
challenged
on
how
do
we
obligate
future
years
of
payroll
or
future
years
for
these
projects?
A
But
treasury
does
and
their
guidance
allow
us
to
write
a
local
procedure
or
local
policy
to
explain
how
we're
obligating
dollars
outside
of
the
typical
means.
A
typical
means,
me
would
say,
say
you
have
a
contract
or
a
purchase
order
and
that's
it.
So
this
is
a
more
expansive
permission
that
treasury
gives
us
to
say
how
we
obligate
payroll
and
we
are
looking
at
fully
obligating
the
projects
and
the
in
the
June
30th
report
deadline
we're
obligating,
whatever
we
can
for
the
April
30th
deadline.
A
I
would
hope
that
the
U.S
Congress
would
give
us
the
time
to
obligate
the
funds
fully
this
year.
The
treasury
deadline
was
fully
obligated
by
the
end
of
2024,
so
it
would
seem
very
unfair
to
ask
communities
to
obligate
earlier
than
that
stated.
Deadline
and
I
feel
confident
that
we'll
be
fully
obligated
by
the
end
of
this
year
and
hopefully
by
mid-year.
C
We
saw
this
as
an
opportunity
to
just
to
fund
the
reason
we
call
it
Spirit
of
artha
is
that
we
we
wanted
to
do
things
that
were
consistent
with
the
article
directive,
but
that
that
may
have
challenges
in
terms
of
all
of
the
reporting
requirements,
and
so
you
know
why
I
think
we've
really
tried
to
stay
true
to
that
and
fund
these
things
consistent.
That
helps.
You
know,
especially
some
of
the
smaller
nonprofits,
avoid
the
the
paperwork
and
Reporting
requirements,
but
I'm
wondering
with
the
amount
that
is
unallocated
at
this
point.
A
So
that's
a
great
question
so
right
now,
there's
that
779
100
000
ish
of
unobligated
funds
and
our
plan
is
to
bring
those
to
you
in
the
near
future
for
decision
making.
So
for
the
immediate
needs
we
put
sort
of
an
on-call
to
County
staff
to
identify
needs
in
the
community
for
the
phase
two.
There
was
some.
You
know
a
process
to
open
it
up,
and
so
this
one
you
know
we
don't
really
have
funds
to
open
the
floodgates
to
any
requests.
I
will
say
that
two
requests
that
I
know
are
floating
out.
A
There
are
a
request
around
Behavioral
Health
and
needs
in
the
behavioral
health
system
and
the
need
for
emergency
rental
assistance,
and
so
those
are
two
concrete
needs.
I
know
are
floating
out
there
in
the
community
and
we
likely
would
bring
those
to
you
and
ask
for
if
you
want
to
proceed
with
those
and
if
you
have
any
guidance
around
opening
up
to
other
potential
projects.
But
those
are
the
only
two
I've
heard
floating
out
there
right
now.
I.
E
A
Question
is
that
yeah,
so
I
will
say
that
that
bucket
is
obligated.
It's
fully
obligated.
We
gave
administrative
dollars
to
Community,
Services
housing
and
Human
Services
and
Public
Health
in
that
bucket.
Also
in
that
bucket
is
the
program,
evaluation
and
data
project
which
treasury
actually
took
out
of
that
bucket,
but
I'm
leaving
it
in
our
bucket
for
that
purpose.
Treasury
took
that
out
of
the
admin
bucket,
but
we
are
leaving
it
in,
and
planning
and
Community
engagement
are
also
in
that
bucket.
A
So
there's
a
lot
in
that
bucket
and
I
just
will
say:
I
know
that
you
all
would
rather,
we
not
spend
ten
percent.
I
do
know
that
and
I
will
say
for
federal
grants
with
this
complexity.
10
is
actually
pretty
low,
but
cdbgdr
our
project
program.
Project
delivery
is
what
they
called
the
admin
bucket
there.
It
ranged
from
13.75
to
20,
and
so
the
federal
grants
are
really
onerous
to
administer
and
and
right
now,
that
bucket
is
obligated.
We
we
looked
for
savings
at
every
opportunity
in
that
bucket
we
do.
C
Yeah
well
so
I
guess
the
other
question
I
have
and
then
I
want
to
come
back
to
it.
Just
a
little
piece
of
that
question.
I'm
sure
I
understood,
but
you
know,
with
most
of
these
things,
they're
not
one
time.
Some
of
the
housing
is
in
time,
but
I'm
thinking
about
the
family
connects
program,
I'm
thinking
about
all
the
behavioral
mental
and
Behavioral
Health
funding.

Because
I
know
there
were
somewhere,
we
said:
okay,
yes,
it's
one
time
and
we're
really
trying
to
focus
on
one
time
and
then
others
and
I
can't
because
from
these
slides
identify
which
ones
it
was
yes,
we
want
to
continue
it
and
we
think
we
know
where
we'll
get
it
but
I.
You
know
it's.
We
need
to
just
back
to
what
you
were
just
saying
about
the
temperature
percent
and
Treasury
and
what
they
allow.
They
don't
allow.
A
Program,
evaluation
and
data
was
in
the
administrative
bucket
and
they
took
it
out
because
they,
what
does
that
mean
to
take
it
out?
It's
it's.
A
treasury,
won't
count
that,
as
our
10
in
our
10
admin
bucket
I
still
have
it
in
our
ten
percent.
I'm
a
bucket
treasury
doesn't
have
that.
What
that
means
is
that
we
could
actually
charge
more
admin
dollars
than
we
are
right
now.
Oh
I
see.
A
A
C
H
A
C
A
I
do,
and
also
in
that
15
000
number
are
some
families.
Some
people
reported
individuals
and
some
people
reported
families
and
I
had
no
way
to
disaggregate
that,
and
so
families
might
be
three
members,
and
so
it's
a
lot
higher
than
the
15
000.
That
was
just
the
best
I.
Could
you
know
with
a
straight
face
say
we
know
it's?
At
least
fifteen
thousand.
