Staff reports 92.8% of Middletown ARPA award expended; reconciliation of some subrecipient draws ongoing
Summary
City staff reported that, as of reporting through March 31 (with some April invoices), about $20.16 million — or 92.8% of the ARPA award — has been expended or obligated; staff cautioned that some line items are still under reconciliation.
Claire Collins provided an ARPA spending update to the meeting, saying the city’s reported expenditures through March 31 (with April invoices included where applicable) totaled $20,157,625.11, which she described as 92.8% of the ARPA award. Collins broke the figure into line items she reported: city spending of $10,325,807.53; small-business subrecipient spending of $4,069,332.81; and subrecipient nonprofit spending transcribed as $55,762,414.77. Collins stated that February and March expenses for some subrecipients had been sent to UHY for review and that reconciliations were ongoing.
Collins identified remaining subrecipient balances: Business Foundation of Middlesex County (Middlesex Chamber) $36,588.79; YMCA team development and mentoring program $25,911.18; Middletown United Fathers/Bridal Justice Coalition $41,742.18; and DFC with $448,845.64 still to draw down. She also said Oddfellows had submitted an invoice earlier in the month that would reduce that organization’s balance to about $3,000 once processed.
Collins told the meeting that documentation for subrecipients — including UEIs and fidelity-bond certificates where required — was up to date for remaining recipients. She noted that the February and March expenses under review could change the reconciled totals and any resulting remaining balances.
The meeting did not include additional public comment on the report. Staff will continue reconciliation and follow up with updated drawdown and obligation figures as invoices are processed.
