Due to the ongoing <br />pandemic, the County continues to incur Zoom expenses each month to facilitate virtual <br />meetings. In addition, a microphone system is necessary to complete the iG facility conference <br />room upgrades that were installed in 2021 to host virtual meetings. Staff proposes these <br />expenses, totaling $34,933 be allocated towards the BCC -IT Upgrades allocation from the BCC - <br />Miscellaneous Purchases allocation. <br />The Eviction Diversion Program has ended and an available balance of $761,249 remains in the <br />program. Staff recommends the balance be allocated towards the County's Health Insurance <br />Fund once again to offset the now $3,086.377 in COVID-19 related claims through December <br />31, 2021. On November 16, 2021 the Board of County Commissioners approved a reallocation <br />of $1.2M from the Eviction Diversion Program to the County's Health Insurance Fund in order <br />to partially offset the $2.8M in COVID-19 related expenses the County's employees and <br />dependents had incurred at that time. After appropriating $761,249 from the Eviction Diversion <br />Program, in order to reimburse the Health Insurance Fund in full, an additional $1,125,128 is <br />needed. Staff proposes to reduce the BCC -Employee Vaccination Incentive allocation by <br />$134,998 and BCC-COVID-19 Overtime allocation by $200,000 to offset these expenses since <br />the employees have already received their benefit and the Eviction Diversion Program has ended. <br />The remaining $790,130 will be transferred from the BCC -Miscellaneous Purchases allocation. <br />This will bring the total allocation reduction to BCC -Miscellaneous Purchases to $825,063, <br />which includes the BCC -IT Upgrades. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board consider the proposed CARES Act reallocations, make any <br />changes to the plan and adopt the proposed plan with any applicable changes. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />CARES Act Spending Plan <br />96 <br />
