RECITALS A. The American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") was signed into law in March 2021. ARPA authorizes the United States Department of Treasury to provide funding for a number of different programs, including the Coronavinis State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund ("SLFRF"), to provide monetary support to local governments to respond to, mitigate, and recover from the COVID-19 public health emergency. B. On July 20, 2021, the Santa Ana City Council authorized the City Manager to utilize ARPA SLFRF funding from the United State Department of Treasury for the Revive Santa Ana Spending Plan, which includes five spending categories: recovery from the pandemic, direct assistance programs, public health and safety, critical infrastructure, and city fiscal health. C. The City of Santa Ana ARPA Community Violence Interventions Grant Program ("Grant Program") provides SLFRF financial assistance to nonprofit entities within the City of Santa Ana in order to prevent and respond to increased violence resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic public health emergency. D. The Grant Program is specifically listed as an enumerated eligible use of SLFRF payments in 31 CFR 35.6(b)(3)(i)(D). E. GRANTEE has been identified for the Grant Program due to the increase in crime and vandalism on the Dr. Howe -Waffle House historic property located at 120 West Civic Center Drive, Santa Ana, California 92701 ("Property"). F. GRANTEE leases the Property from the CITY pursuant to a Lease Purchase Agreement between the parties, which provides in section 17 that GRANTEE shall be responsible for maintenance and repairs on the Property. Accordingly, GRANTEE will be installing a fence around the Property to prevent violence and vandalism. G. Accordingly, subject to appropriation, and pursuant to ARPA regulations, CITY has agreed to utilize SLFRF funds received through ARPA to provide a grant to assist GRANTEE with community violence intervention.
