Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of the Department of Development to enter into a beneficiary grant agreement with The Young Men’s Christian Association of Central Ohio (YMCA of Central Ohio) in the amount of $155,735.83, and to authorize expenditures incurred prior to the execution of the purchase order, and for the agreement to allow for expenses from August 1, 2021 through January 31, 2022.
Ordinance 2920-2021, approved November 15, 2021, authorized the Director of Development to enter into a grant agreement with YMCA of Central Ohio in an amount up to $531,693.00 using federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Ordinance 0769-2022, approved April 4, 2022, authorized the modification of a grant in the amount of $1,070,503.00 to YMCA of Central Ohio. YMCA of Central expended $155,735.83 of ARPA funds outside the terms of its original agreements (PO316033 and PO327722). The funds were expended before the Date of the Purchase Order, although still within the time frame of ARPA Grant guidelines. The original agreement was past the time limit for modifying, therefore YMCA of Central Ohio returned the ARPA funds to the City ($155,735.83). This ordinance is to authorize a beneficiary agreement with YMCA of Central Ohio using the returned ARPA funds in the amount of $155,735.83.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is provided to the City of Columbus from the American Rescue Plan Act passed by Congress and signed into law March 11, 2021.
CONTRACT COMPLIANCE: the vendor number is 006085 and expires 1/23/2026.
