SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
The city has received $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.

This ordinance authorizes $1,000,000 of this amount for the New York Avenue water main replacement and $1,700,000 for the installation of sanitary mains and service lines on Gallier Drive and Giger Drive along with sanitary service lines on Secor Road.
