Finance committee considers addendum to UHY Advisors contract for ARPA compliance support
Summary
Committee members reviewed a proposed addendum to a master services agreement with UHY Advisors to provide on-call ARPA compliance and reporting assistance through the ARPA spending period; staff said the addendum would not add funds unless UHY's services are used.
Councilwoman Meeley introduced a resolution authorizing an addendum to the city’s master services agreement with UHY Advisors to provide on-call assistance related to American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) compliance and reporting.
Councilmember Valerie Fessler and Claire (UHY) explained that the addendum would allow the city to seek UHY’s help as ARPA-funded projects begin to draw down funds and require documentation. Claire stated, “It’s not adding any funds to the existing contract. These are ARPA funds that were already designated … we would only pay them if we use them.” Committee members confirmed the addendum does not obligate new funds unless work is performed.
Staff and UHY officials noted ARPA timing constraints to the committee: ARPA funds had to be obligated by Dec. 31, 2024, and must be spent by Dec. 31, 2026. Committee members and staff discussed monitoring remaining ARPA obligations, particularly funds tied to the Redevelopment Authority (RDA). No vote was recorded on the addendum during the meeting.
