Approve the 2nd Revision to the Revive Santa Ana Spending Plan. <br />2. Adopt a Resolution to Amend the Fiscal Year 21-22 Annual Budget to add limited- <br />term full-time positions for the implementation of Revive Santa Ana projects. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Revive Santa Ana Spending Plan was approved by the City Council at the July 20, <br />2021 meeting. The spending plan includes five expenditure categories: recovery from the <br />pandemic, direct assistance programs, public health and safety, critical infrastructure, and <br />city fiscal health. Following the July 20th meeting, staff began to prepare for the <br />implementation of the newly approved programs and projects. This included an analysis <br />with Best Best & Krieger LLP (BBK) to confirm eligibility of projects in accordance with <br />federal guidelines. Based on this analysis, two projects from the original spending plan <br />were determined to be ineligible: Memorial to Lives Lost and Reimbursement of the <br />Unemployment Fund and Paid Leave. <br />In response, staff is proposing to reallocate funding in the spending plan as follows: <br />Reduce the Memorial to Lives Lost from $200,000 to $0 <br />Reduce the Reimbursement of the Unemployment Fund and Paid Leave from <br />$500,000 to $0 <br />Reduce the Reserve for Revenue Loss Allocation from $7,180,000 to $2,880,000 <br />Increase the Sanitization and Prevention Project from $2,300,000 to $2,800,000 <br />Add the Public Health Plaza and Wellness Programming to the spending plan and <br />allocate $4,000,000 <br />Add the HR Service Enhancement Program to the spending plan and allocate <br />$200,000 <br />Add the Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction Program to the spending plan <br />and allocate $300,000
