<br />Municipalities
<br />The Board approved allocation to municipalities as detailed above is $1,972,596. At this time, the
<br />only municipality requesting a change to their allocation is the Town of Orchid. The Town of
<br />Orchid's original request for Phase 2 funding was $47,600, however the Town has since indicated
<br />that only $1,000 in additional funding is needed. The Town of Orchid did request that their unused
<br />allocation be contributed to the rental and mortgage assistance, or the small business assistance
<br />program as needed. Should additional funding in these programs be necessary, staff will
<br />incorporate these changes into future plan revisions. The City of Vero Beach has also requested
<br />an amendment to their initial scope of work, however the dollar amount of their allocation will
<br />remain unchanged. The City is proposing to decrease .planned spending on COVID-19 testing,
<br />public safety measures, and disinfection of pubic areas and increase their spending for food
<br />delivery. In summary, the proposed funding allocations for municipalities is decreasing by
<br />$46,600.
<br />Constitutional Officers
<br />An allocation of $1,555,000 has been approved for Constitutional Officer expenses. County staff
<br />continues to coordinate with the Constitutional Officers and is requesting an additional allocation
<br />of $859;041. The majority of this increase is to cover 10% of personnel costs for Sheriff's Office
<br />employees working in the Correctional Facility who are spending time of COVID-19 related
<br />activities. The Treasury has released guidance stating that,
<br />"as an administrative accommodation, governments may presume that public health and public
<br />safety employees meet the substantially dedicated test, unless the chief executive (or equivalent)
<br />of the relevant government determines that specific circumstances indicate otherwise "
