CC - Item 4F - Resolution Approving ARPA Funding Reallocation and Fiscal Year 25-26 Budget AmendmentsROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: BEN KIM, CITY MANAGER, " DATE: JUNE 23, 2026 SUBJECT: ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION NO. 2026-35 APPROVING ARPA FUNDING REALLOCATION AND FISCAL YEAR 2025-26 BUDGET AMENDMENTS SUMMARY Staff is requesting City Council approval to amend the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget to appropriate available restricted funds for eligible expenditures, including the reclassification of available American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) savings to the City Hall Basement Remodel project, and adjustments to Measure A, Proposition A, and Proposition C funding. The City received funding through the American Rescue Plan Act to support eligible projects, programs, and services in response to the public health and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Federal ARPA rules required recipients to obligate funds by December 31, 2024. Recipients may not use ARPA funds to create new obligations after that deadline. However, previously obligated funds may be reclassified or adjusted among eligible projects, provided the receiving project was also properly authorized and obligated within the applicable federal obligation period. As part of the City's prior allocation of ARPA funds, the City authorized funding for CIP Project Management and 1 Full -Time Human Resources Analyst. Both activities have been completed or closed, and final expenditures were less than the amounts originally authorized. As a result, staff has identified a total of $70,754.54 in available ARPA savings. Staff recommends reclassifying the available ARPA savings to the City Hall Basement Remodel project. The proposed action does not increase the City's total ARPA allocation and does not create a new federal obligation. Rather, it reallocates savings from completed or closed activities to an existing project while maintaining compliance with applicable eligibility, obligation, expenditure, documentation, and reporting requirements. Because the reclassified ARPA funds will be used for the City Hall Basement Remodel during Fiscal Year 2025-26, a budget amendment is necessary to appropriate the funds to the appropriate project account. Approval of the recommended action will amend the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget AGENDA ITEM 4.F City Council Meeting — Adoption of Resolution 2026-35 June 23, 2026 Page 2 of 3 by increasing appropriations for the City Hall Basement Remodel project by $70,754.54, funded with available ARPA savings. In addition to the ARPA reclassification, staff is requesting a Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget amendment related to Los Angeles County Measure A funds. The proposed amendment will recognize $110,000 in Measure A revenue and appropriate a corresponding $110,000 in Measure A expenditures. This adjustment will align the City's Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget with anticipated Measure A funding activity and related eligible expenditures. Staff is requesting approval to amend the current fiscal year budget to increase Proposition A funds for Senior Excursions from $40,000 to $50,000, reflecting an increase of $10,000. This increase will provide additional funding capacity for senior transportation and excursion -related programming. Lastly, staff is requesting approval to increase Proposition C funds for administrative expenses by a combined total of $8,800, from $23,200 to $32,000. This includes an increase of $4,200 in Fund 220, Division 1305 Finance, from $3,800 to $8,000, and an increase of $4,600 in Fund 220, Division 3010 Field Services, from $19,400 to $24,000. These adjustments are necessary to ensure sufficient funding is available for eligible administrative costs associated with the program. Together, the recommended budget amendments will ensure that the City's Fiscal Year 2025-26 Budget accurately reflects available restricted funding sources and corresponding project or program expenditures. The amendments are funded by available restricted funding sources and will have no impact to the General Fund. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2026-35 authorizing the following actions: 1. Reclassify previously obligated American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") funds in the amount of $70,754.54 from completed or closed projects to the City Hall Basement Remodel project. 2.
