Legislature amends ARPA beneficiary agreements, allocating $6 million to local nonprofits
Summary
The Monroe County Legislature amended Intro. No. 365 to allocate $6,000,000 in ARPA funds across more than two dozen local nonprofits and then adopted the resolution as amended; the amendment passed 15-13 and the final main motion was adopted 28-0 with two legislators declaring conflicts of interest.
The Monroe County Legislature on Nov. 12 approved amended American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) beneficiary agreements that allocate $6,000,000 across a list of local nonprofit organizations. The amendment to Intro. No. 365 listed individual allocations (for example, $513,585.06 to Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Rochester; $303,422.62 to Medical Motor Service of Rochester; and numerous smaller awards), and the amendment passed the Legislature by a 15-13 vote before the full main motion was later adopted as amended.
The main motion as amended was recorded as adopted unanimously 28-0 after two legislators (Burgess and Frazier) declared their interests prior to the final vote. Sponsors and movers included a group of legislators recorded in the file as advancing Motion No. 49 to amend Intro. No. 365; committee reports show committee review preceding the floor action. The legislative record shows the exhibit of grant allocations totaled $6,000,000 and named about two dozen organizations slated to receive awards under the beneficiary agreements.
The action will direct County ARPA funds to a mix of social service providers, workforce and youth programs, senior services, and neighborhood organizations. The Legislature recorded the motion, the list of award amounts, and the final adoption in the minutes; the resolution as adopted is recorded as Res. 301 (24-0342).
