Reason for Recommended Action/Background
Background
On July 25, 2023, the Board of Supervisors received an update on the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and a set of recommendations from staff for the use of remaining funding. At that time, staff recommended setting aside $500,000 for the Community Benefit Equal Allocation Plan. The Plan equally allocated a portion of that funding to each of the five supervisorial districts, allowing each Supervisor to provide grants to local Community-Based Organizations (CBO) operating within their districts. The Board approved the plan at that meeting, further augmenting the funding to $750,000. On June 4, 2024, the Board approved an additional $25,000 per supervisorial district and increased the total amount to $875,000.
A brief description of the funding proposal follows:
International House Davis

This $3,000 sponsorship investment will support the 2024 International Festival and the 40th Anniversary celebration which will showcase 40 Stories for 40 Years through a storytelling and photo installation documenting 40 years of building community, cultural connections and international understanding in Davis. This sponsorship demonstrates Yolo County’s support of local artists, makers, cultural bearers, and small businesses that I-House works with to bring these events to the public.

Competitive Bid Process/Vendor Performance
The respective Supervisors' District staff review potential beneficiaries of the available ARP funding, and the Supervisor selects beneficiaries and funding amounts. District Staff then begin preparation of the agreements. The County Administrator's Office reviews the spending proposals and verifies that the proposed beneficiary meets any necessary requirements under federal and state laws. The proposal is then brought to the Board for delegation of authority to complete and sign the agreement in advance of any funding disbursement.
