Title
Authorizing the disappropriation and reappropriation of $123,648.17 in the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund for youth engagement, mentoring, and development initiatives; authorizing the Mayor to enter into necessary agreements for said initiatives; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The city is the recipient of $180.9 million through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to be used to address the public health and negative economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Toledo Recovery Plan framework (authorized by Ordinance 530-21), which outlines the city's projects that will be funded through ARPA, includes $6,500,000 for youth and recreational programming. Ordinance 108-24 authorized the appropriation and expenditure of $1,600,435 of this amount for youth engagement, mentoring, and development initiatives in 2024.
This Ordinance authorizes the reappropriation of $123,648.17. The recommended adjustments come as a result of previously awarded funding being declined by the original recipient or an inability of the original recipient to fully utilize the awarded funds. No programs have been defunded or cancelled to accomplish the proposed reallocation.

NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the disappropriation of $123,648.17 is authorized from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund pursuant to the attached Schedule A.
SECTION 2. That the appropriation of $123,648.17 is authorized from the unappropriated balance of the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund and the expenditure of same is authorized for youth engagement, mentoring, and development initiatives pursuant to the attached Schedule A.
