MOTION to appropriate $6,760.78 to Account 21014301-53342-T0001 (Town Green Upgrade) from Account 21090305-58915 (Undesignated) to cover the deficit of the Town share of STEAP grant funding not eligible to be covered by ARPA funding.

Background:
Supplemental funding was sought to cover the Town matching share of expenses for the State STEAP grant. At their meeting of February 9, 2022, the Town Council appropriated $75,000 from the ARPA funds allotted to the Town to cover the matching funds and other Town Green improvements.
The $75,000 was appropriated to a new account, 21014301-53342-G0014 (Town Green Upgrade), created for ARPA funds accountability. The deficit in 21014301-53342-T0001 (the original account established for the Town share of STEAP funds) had grown to $21,393.64.
As it turns out, by fixed inception date of ARPA fund eligibility, March 3, 2021, only $10,164.30 of these expenses are ARPA-eligible, leaving a remaining deficit of $11,229.34. A residual amount of $4,468.56 was left in the original capital account, 21090305-53342 (Town Green Upgrade), established by $70,000 appropriation by Town Council action at their meeting of November 13, 2019.
Applying these funds by transfer has brought the outstanding deficit to $6,760.78. This is the amount that remains to be reconciled.

Department Comment/Recommendation:

I recommend reconciliation of this remaining deficit in Account 21014301-53342-T0001 by an appropriation from undesignated capital funds.

Finance Director Comment/Recommendation:
The Undesignated account in the CNR fund has a current, unencumbered balance of $494,821.78

?
Mayor Comment/Recommendation:
I support this action to close out the STEAP 2020 grant.
