Note: The Recovery Plan Performance Report will provide the public and Treasury information on the 

projects that recipients are undertaking with program funding and how they are planning to ensure 

program outcomes are achieved in an effective, efficient, and equitable manner. While this template

includes the minimum requirements for the Recovery Plan, each recipient is encouraged to add 

information to the plan that they feel is appropriate to provide information to their constituents on efforts 

they are taking to respond to the pandemic and promote an equitable economic recovery. 

Each jurisdiction may determine the general form and content of the Recovery Plan, as long as it 

meets the reporting requirements, and recipients are encouraged to tailor this template to best meet 

their needs. Use of infographics, tables, charts, pictures, case studies, and other explanatory elements 

are encouraged.

Notes on using this template

All States and territories, and metropolitan cities and counties with a population that exceeds 250,000 

residents that are recipients of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) awards are required to 

produce a Recovery Plan Performance Report (the “Recovery Plan”). The Recovery Plan provides

information on the recipient’s projects and how they plan to ensure program outcomes are achieved in an 

effective and equitable manner. It will include key performance indicators identified by the recipient and 

some mandatory indicators identified by Treasury. Each annual Recovery Plan must be posted on the 

public-facing website of the recipient by or on the same date that the recipient submits the report to 

Treasury. 

The initial Recovery Plan will cover the period from the date of award to July 31, 2021 and must be 

submitted to Treasury by August 31, 2021. Thereafter, the Recovery Plan will cover a 12-month period and 

recipients will be required to submit the report to Treasury within 30 days after the end of the 12-month 

period (by July 31).

GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

The City of Long Beach intends to use the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 allocated amount 

of $135,753,078 for the provision of government services (Expenditure Category 6: Revenue 

Replacement), to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 public health 

emergency. The government services to be funded are public safety services, specifically 

personnel costs for sworn police personnel. 

Uses of Funds

The City of Long Beach plans to use the allocated funds to provide continuing government 

services to the community. Consistent with the objectives of the State and Local Fiscal 

Recovery Funds, by using the funds in this manner, the City of Long Beach will have the ability 

to continue and strengthen support for vital public services, help retain jobs, and support the 

COVID-19 response efforts to continue the decrease and spread of the virus. 

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Long Beach Police Department (Department)

has been heavily involved in the City’s COVID-19 response including opening its emergency 

Department Operations Center to handle matters such as coordination with the City’s Health 

and Human Services Department and other city departments including the areas of contact 

tracing, daily COVID-19 statistics, notification of infected employees, and ensuring equipment 

needs are met. The Department provided security to the multiple City-run COVID-19 testing

sites that provided daily testing capacity of up to 5,000 people and where more than 725,000 

COVID-19 tests have been administered through March of 2021. The Department also 

provided security to the City-run vaccination sites where 75% of adults in Long Beach have 

been vaccinated against COVID-19 as of August 2021. In addition, during the City’s COVID-19 

response, the City’s Health Officer has enacted various measures and health orders to protect 

the health of residents. With the enactment of these measures, the Department has been 

tasked with answering calls for service related to health order violations where their strategy has 

been to take an “education first” approach to encourage compliance with the City’s COVID-19 

Health Orders.

has been heavily involved in the City’s COVID-19 response including opening its emergency 

Department Operations Center to handle matters such as coordination with the City’s Health 

and Human Services Department and other city departments including the areas of contact

The City of Long Beach plans to use its full allocation of American Rescue Plan Act funds to pay 

for Police Department personnel costs of sworn personnel which includes salaries, overtime, 

medical, retirement and other similar fringe benefits. Based on current costs, it is anticipated 

the allocation amount will be fully expended by March 2022.
