GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) of 2021 is a $1.9 trillion economic stimulus bill signed into law by the 

President in March 2021. Within ARPA, the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (SLFRF) was 

established which provides $350 billion for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to respond to impacts 

from the COVID-19 pandemic. Chandler’s first allocation of $17,280,397 was received in May of this year with 

the same amount expected to be received in May of 2022 for a total allocation of $34,560,795. The focus of the 

SLFRF is in four key program areas identified in the ARPA language: 

1. Respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts

2. Provide premium pay for essential workers 

3. Replace lost revenue, and 

4. Make necessary investments in water, wastewater or broadband infrastructure. 

Additionally, ARPA specifically prohibits the deposit of any SLFRF funds towards pension liabilities, debt service 

payments or contributions to fiscal reserves. The funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024. This time 

period, covering over three years, is designed to provide prolonged support and recovery with the 

understanding that the recovery from COVID-19 will take more than one year. 

Initial funding recommendations were presented to Mayor and Council in a public meeting where community 

input could be voiced, and a variety of projects were identified as potentially being funded by ARPA dollars. 

This process was done prior to additional Treasury guidance being received, and some of the identified

projects do not meet the recommendations. Additional feedback on altered recommendations that are fully 

with-in the recommended guidelines will be forth coming, however, many of the proposed projects did meet 

the guidelines and have been identified in this first Recovery Plan for the City of Chandler. Through these initial 

discussions with City Council and community partners, City staff have identified eligible programs/purchases 

that are grouped in this report by the SLFRF reporting classifications below: 

1. Public Health 

2. Negative Economic Impact 

3. Services to Disproportionately Impacted Community 

4. Premium Pay 

5. Infrastructure 

6. Revenue Replacement

7. Administrative and Other

Once the usage of these funds begins in earnest, the desired result will be to support a strong and equitable 

recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and economic impacts. Some keys goals will be:
City of Chandler, Arizona 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 3

Encourage a rebound in the Tourism, Travel, and Hospitality sector that was significantly impacted by closures 

due to COVID-19.

Improve the quality of parks and outdoor spaces to respond to the needs of disproportionately impacted 

communities by promoting healthier living environments and outdoor recreation and socialization to mitigate 

the spread of COVID-19.

Ensure public sector staffing is again at pre-pandemic levels to allow for effective administration of municipal 

services provided for all areas with a special emphasis on Police department staffing which is facing significant 

issues in finding qualified candidates.

Assist internal efforts and Nonprofit groups helping disproportionately impacted populations including 

veterans.

Provide assistance to unhoused persons or those in need of transitional or affordable housing.

Provide programs to help neighborhoods in qualified census tracts to build stronger communities through 

investments in housing and their neighborhoods.

Ensure continued access to reliable broadband access provided at City facilities to unserved and underserved 

households and businesses.

With these goals in mind, the City will be moving forward over the next few months to ensure we are able to 

continue to meet the needs of our residents. The biggest issues the City has faced over the first reporting 

quarter has been simply receiving and reviewing all the guidance, evaluating what is allowable versus not 

allowable, making recommendations, and getting projects started. As the reader will notice in this first report, 

we have not had much progress yet due to the processes we have undergone, however, we do anticipate a 

significant uptick in our ability to implement programs now that project verification has been complete. We still 

have several projects under review which will require an update to this document once adopted.

Uses of Funds

The approach Chandler is taking to use these funds helps support a strong and equitable recovery from the 

COVID-19 pandemic and economic downturn. The City has identified a variety of programs with impacts across 

multiple sections of the associated ARPA categories. Given the eligible uses of funds and the specific needs of 

our jurisdiction, the program descriptions in the Project Inventory below are detailed out to show how each 

program will support the community, population, and/or individuals in Chandler. Additionally, one of the items 

specifically included is a column in the Expenditure Category Chart below that identifies which program areas

have been identified for an allocation of funds. This will assist in showcasing where these funds will be used 

and in which of the below categories the programs fall.

a. Public Health (EC 1)

b. Negative Economic Impacts (EC 2)

c. Services to Disproportionately Impacted Communities (EC 3)

d. Premium Pay (EC 4)

e. Water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure (EC 5)

f. Revenue Replacement (EC 6)
City of Chandler, Arizona 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 4

g. Administrative (EC7)

Other funding programs under the American Rescue Plan outside of the SLFRF funding, such as Emergency 

Rental Assistance, Housing Assistance, and so forth, provide additional funding opportunities to meet the

overall pandemic recovery needs in the City. The Neighborhood Resources Department is providing a variety of 

services to residents in need though these other funding streams, and as we continue to report out on all of 

the varied ways we are assisting our residents, we will be updating and adding information about other funding 

uses to this report as well.

Promoting equitable outcomes 

One of the underlying goals of ARPA funding is to ensure those disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 

have additional services that can help them mitigate the impacts of the pandemic. As such, the planning that 

was done to identify programs and projects for funding was done with this in mind. With a focus on equity, 

there was also consideration to ensure that programs or projects were also available to all residents who have a 

desire to use those services. Each annual report to follow will provide an update on how the City is trying to

achieve or promoted equitable outcomes during the performance period. 

The City’s efforts to promote equitable outcomes are discussed below in an overview of how programs were 

designed with equity in mind. Using four focus areas to try and focus efforts on these equitable outcomes, 

below is a description of how each focus area gave guidance while selecting programs.

a. Goals: The intention of many of the programs outlined in this report is to assist the historically 

underserved, marginalized, or adversely affected groups. The goal of each program was determined 

within a framework of equity. The City focused on supporting the needs of these groups through 

providing general municipal services which require adequate staffing levels, providing funding 

specific to ensuring housing and other social services are available, providing aide to nonprofits who 

serve historically underserved, marginalized, or adversely affected groups, ensuring recreational 

facilities are maintained at a high level to serve the needs of these residents, and ensuring that the 

broadband and computer services provided to those who are underserved in this area meet, and will 

continue to meet, those needs at a high level. 

b. Awareness: Ensuring all residents that may qualify for assistance, or who will have access to the 

services provided are aware of what is available to them is important. The City initiated a CARES team 

to ensure all residents who needed information or assistance with the process had access to it. The 

City is also using social media, its website, staff, and printed materials to let residents know of 

opportunities for assistance.

c. Access and Distribution: Every effort is being made to ensure levels of access to benefits and services 

across groups are equitable. 

d. Outcomes: Intended outcomes are focused on reaching universal levels of service.

The specific services or programs offered by the City in the following Expenditure Categories are specifically 

designed to meet the needs of underserved or unserved populations: 
City of Chandler, Arizona 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 5

a. Negative Economic Impacts (EC 2): assistance to households, small businesses, and non-profits to 

address impacts of the pandemic, which have been most severe among low-income populations. 

This includes assistance with housing and other needs; (such as residents of low-income 

neighborhoods, minorities, disconnected youth, the unemployed, formerly incarcerated people, 

veterans, and people with disabilities); and other programs that provide disadvantaged groups with

access to services.

b. Services to Disproportionately Impacted Communities (EC 3): services to address health disparities 

and the social determinants of health, build stronger neighborhoods and communities, and 

promote healthy childhood environments.

As the City moves through the projects and programs identified in this report, additional detail on how the 

efforts and intended outcomes promote equity using qualitative and quantitative data will be shared.

Community Engagement 

The City’s current planned use of funds incorporates any written, oral, and other forms of input received that 

captured feedback from constituents, community-based organizations, and the community as a whole. All 

feedback was taken into account, a public meeting was held at which additional public feedback could be 

offered, and we are at a point at which we can begin to move forward with the recommendations that have 

been made. As the City finalizes remaining proposed projects, additional public outreach is anticipated.

Labor Practices 

Any infrastructure projects being pursued (as shown in section EC 5 below), use strong labor standards to 

promote effective and efficient delivery of high-quality infrastructure projects while supporting the economic 

recovery through employment opportunities for workers. Procurement efforts utilized by the City ensure the 

best product can be provided to the residents by the most responsive bidder.

Use of Evidence 

Detailed evidence information for each project is, or will be, included in the Project Inventory if the SLFRF funds 

being used require evidence-based interventions. Specifically, in the Project Inventory, we describe the overall 

approach for using evidence and evaluation. All Expenditure Categories that meet the requirement for Use of 

Evidence as defined in Section C(6) on page 26 of the Reporting Guidance have been included. Those with 

projects that are still being designed may have only preliminary data about how and what methods will be 

used as evidence until additional details are determined. Once those have been better identified this report will 

be updated accordingly.
