Title
Authorizing the appropriation and expenditure of $3,021,000 from the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund for fiscal year 2022 premium payments for eligible City of Toledo employees; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMRY & BACKGROUND:
The City of Toledo is the recipient of $180.9 million through the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”). One of the four statutory eligible uses for these funds is to provide premium pay to eligible workers that have performed essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency.
The Toledo Recovery Plan framework (approved by Ordinance 531-21) includes $8.6 million for premium pay for essential work. This Ordinance authorizes premium payments that were or may be made to eligible City of Toledo employees during fiscal year 2022 to be recorded as an expenditure in the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. This will reduce the expenditure in the General and other funds where these premium payments are initially recorded upon ratification of bargaining agreements in 2022. These one-time premium payments were included or are anticipated to be included in bargaining agreements ratified or negotiated in 2022.

SECTION 1. That the appropriation of $3,021,000 is authorized from the unappropriated balance of the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (Fund 2021) and an expenditure not to exceed $3,021,000 in the Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (Fund 2021) for the purpose of recording fiscal year 2022 American Rescue Plan premium payments made to eligible City of Toledo employees during 2022.
