Govemor Inslee announced that the state would award $300 million oft the state's Cares funding to local governments that did not receive direct distributions under the CARES Act. Itis anticipated that Ephrata will be awarded $245,400.00. However, in order to qualify for these funds there are many restrictions, such as all reimbursements must be directly related to COVID-19 expenses. Based on these criteria, the City will not be eligible for the entire allotment. There is a provision, however, that states we can use these funds to assist other agencies (such as the Health Department). and local businesses. Wel have contemplated dispersing unused funds to both the Health Department and partnering with the Chamber ofCommerce to provide funds forl local businesses hit by the COVID-19 epidemic. Funds allocated to local businesses would go through a vetting process with the criteria meeting both the State and City's  expectations  BUDGET IMPACTS  1.

This article provides an overview of the CARES Acta as it applies to the needs of local governments. Programs  C  SH.AIR,I,N.G  The CARES Actp provides more than 2.21 trillion federal dollars for new and  existing programs fori individual taxpayers, small and large businesses, health care systems, nonprofits, tribal governments, and others, including state andl local govemnments. This Acti includes thet following programs:  Keeping Americans Paid and Employed. Act (Title I)  Assistance for American Workers, Families, and Businesses (Title II)  Supporting Americals Health System in the Fight Against the Coronavirus (Title III)  Economic Stabilization and Assistance to Severely Distressed Sectors of the United States Economy (Title IV)  Coronavirus Relief Funds (Title V)  Assistance forv workers, small businesses and others  Direct relief for workers and small businesses includes the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) for small! businesses, eligible nonprofit organizations, veterans' organizations, tribal businesses described ini the Small Business Act, and individuals who are self-employed ora arei independent contractors.

Of course, communities still benefit directly and indirectly when their local businesses and residents are helped to survive through this crisis.    Temporary taxi relief fori individuals a' includes a waiver of thea additional 109 'axi for COVID-19 related early withdrawals from IRA and 401(k) accounts andi relief from the requirement to withdrawaminimum: required Other CARES Acti relief programs include Access tol Health Caret for COVID-19 Patients, Supportfork Health Care Workers, Coronavirus Economic Stabilization Act of 2020, Economic Disaster Relief, and TreasuryLoans.  distribution (MRD) from these accounts! in 2020 (for those over age 70.5 years).  State and local governments coronavirus relief fund  The CARES Actprovides a $150 billion fund distributed toi the! 50 states, the District of Columbia, tribal governments, and territories. Distributed by the U.S. Treasury, these funds are for necessary expendituresi incurred in responding to the coronavirus outbreak. The allocation of funds is based onj population, and every state is guaranteed. at least $1.25 billion. Forty-five percent (45%) of each: state's total allotment is reserved for "units of local government" defined as having al high threshold population of 500,000 or more (based on the most recent U.S. Census figures from 2010). So, in our state, the City of Seattle and King and Snohomish Counties are eligible fori funds directly from the Treasury  Department  Expenditures eligible fort this relief are required to be: 1." "Necessary expenditures" related to COVID-19;  2. Nota accounted fori int the most recently adopted budget as of March 27, 2020, which is the CARES Act enactment  date;a and  3. Expenses incurred between March 1,2 2020 and December 30, 2020.  There is not a provision requiring states to distribute funds to their local govemments with less than 500,000 population. The good newsi in Washington State is that the state government is sharing a generous portion ofi its CARES Act funds with all Washington dlestownsandcounties: This substantial relief will help local governments continue to deliver essential and important services needed to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.  According to Governor Inslee's AprilZZpressrelease  Funds will be provided to cities and counties with populations under 500,000 that were ineligible to receive directi funding undert the CARES Act. Specific allocations will be released in the coming days. Each county will receive aminimum distribution of $250,000 and each city will receive a minimum distribution of $25,000..  Additionally, the press release notes:  Under state law, the Legislature must be notified about the awards and be given 10 days to respond before the distributions are made. During that time, the state will work with local govemments to get the agreementsin  place 5o they can put the money to work as soon as possible. MRSC plans to provide details of this program as these become available.  On April 22, the U.S. Treasury Department issued guidance forsma.temtorilbalandi tribal governments regarding the CARES act andsubsequentlyl issuedanFAQ to supplement this guidance on May 4.  Documentation  As youl know, iti iscrucial toa accurately and thoroughly document your COVID-19 related expenditures and their necessity. Documentation is also usefuli in case of future benefits programs, such as those mentioned below.

Under this program, nonprofits, Indian Tribes, and governmental entities may seeka 50% reduction in reimbursements they are required to pay thes state for benefits paid to workers who claim unemployment assistance. There are also provisions that provide flexibility for employers inmaking these  reimbursement payments. Other CARES Actr relief  According to the CARES Act Summary, other programs and appropriations int the CARES Act that will certainly benefit! local and state governments, atl leasti indirectly, include substantial funding for transportation, airports, and essential air service- -i including rural air service, rail, and transit.

Social Security. Act, as added1 by section: 5001 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act"). The CARES. Act established the Coronavirus ReliefFund (the' Fund") and appropriated! $1501 billion to the Fund. Under the CARES Act, thel Fundi is to be used to make payments for specified uses to States and certain local governments; thel District ofColumbia and U.S. Territories (consisting of the Commonwealth ofPuertol Rico, thel United States Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth oft thel Northern Mariana Islands); and' Tribal governments. The CARES. Act provides that payments from the Fund may only be used to cover costs that-  1. are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to 2. were: not accounted fori in the budget most recently approved as ofl March 27, 2020 (the date ofe enactment of the CARES Act) for the State or government; and 3. were incurred during the period that begins on March1,2020,and. ends on'December30;  the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19);  2020."  The guidance that follows sets forth the Department of the Treasury'si interpretation oft these limitations  on thej permissible use ofFund payments,  Necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency  The requirement that expenditures bei incurred' "due to" the public health emergency means that expenditures must be used for actions taken to respond to the public health emergency. These may include expenditures incurred to allow the State, territorial, local, or' Tribal government to respond directly to the emergency, such as by addressing medical or public health needs, as well as expenditures incurred to respond to second-order effects oft the emergency, such as by providing economic support to those suffering from employment or business interruptions due to COVID-19-related business closures. Funds may notl be used to fill shortfalls in government revenue to cover expenditures that would not otherwise qualify under the statute. Although al broad range of uses is allowed, revenue replacementis The statute also specifies that expenditures using Fund payments must be "necessary." Thel Department oft the' Treasury understands this term broadly to mean that the expenditure is reasonably necessary fori its intended usei in the reasonable judgment oft the government officials responsible for spending Fund Costs not accounted) fori in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020  not aj permissible use ofFund payments.  payments.
