ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLLINOIS
ARPA INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN August 31, 2021

Executive Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a continued impact on the economy, public health, state and local
governments, individuals and business. In March of 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was -
passed by the federal government. The purpose of this act is to help state, local, territorial, and tribal
governments respond to economic issues and build a strong and equitable recovery. Funds that St. Clair
County will receive are State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF). Under the SLFRF St. Clair County
has been awarded $50,440,961. Metropolitan cities Belleville and East St. Louis have been awarded
$15,792,501 and $36,379,844 respectively. The State of Illinois has been awarded $742,179,391 with a
portion of those funds being disbursed to non-metropolitan cities (populations less than 50,000) and other
units of governments.

This Interim Recovery Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Interim Final Rule and the
Compliance and Reporting Guidance published by the US Department of Treasury. The purpose of this
report is to be transparent and provide an outline the intended uses of the ARPA funds. This will also
report the actual expenditures during each reporting period. This is the first annual which is covering the
reporting period of March 3, 2021 through July 31, 2021. St. Clair County will publish and submit this Plan
to the U.S. Department of Treasury no later than August 31, 2021.

Our Interim Recovery Plan will only cover the $50,440,961 awarded to St. Clair County.

As of 7/31/2021 St. Clair County is still in the planning phases as to the most effective uses of the ARPA
funds.

Use of Funds

As stated above, the use of ARPA funds are restricted. ARPA expenditure categories are generally limited
to Public Health, Negative Economic Impacts, Services to Impacted Communities, Premium Pay,
Infrastructure (sewer, water and broadband), Revenue Replacement and Plan Administration.

Public Health:

COVID-19 Vaccination: The county has implemented the first drive through vaccine facility in the State
of Illinois. With the assistance of the State of Illinois and National Guard we were able to structure a very
effective facility at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds. This location was able to handle in excess of 2,000 citizens
on a daily basis for all three COVID-19 vaccines. A second location was created at 330 West Main in
Belleville to also administer the vaccinations. This location administered the Moderna and Johnson &
Johnson vaccines. As the demand for vaccinations had decreased the Belle-Clair Fairground location was
closed and 330 West Main location is able to handle the volume with all three vaccines. We are still
successfully continuing operations at this location.

() ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLLINOIS
<@” ARPAINTERIM RECOVERY PLAN August 31, 2021

Community Engagement

The SLFRF interim final rules provide substantial flexibility to decide how to best meet the needs of their
local communities and allow for flexible spending up to the level of their revenue loss. As part of our plan
St. Clair County will disseminate information through various methods so that citizens are aware of the
services that can and will be funded through SLFRF.

Labor Practices

County labor practices will follow and comply with all local, state and federal laws, regulations and
directives. This includes compliance with all laws and regulations pertaining to wages and hours, state
and federal income tax, unemployment insurance, Social Security, disability insurance, workers’
compensation insurance, and discrimination in employment. The County, its contractors, and
subcontractors shall comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and in accordance with said Act,
no person on the grounds of race, color, sex or national origin, shall be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subject to discrimination under any service or activity in
connection with any public work project. Contractors shall also comply with the Davis-Bacon Act and the
Illinois Prevailing Wage Act.

Use of Evidence

As stated in the Executive Summary, St. Clair County is still in the planning phase as to the most effective
uses for our county.

Expenses by Expenditure Category

See attached SLT Compliance Report



ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLLINOIS
ARPA INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN August 31, 2021

Premium Pay

Premium pay is not to be used to increase pay of employees. Premium pay may be used for performing
essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency. These employees have been and continue
to be relied on to maintain continuity of operations of essential critical infrastructure sectors, including
those who are critical to protecting the health and well-being of their communities.

As of 7/31/2021 the County has expended $32,000 in premium pay. These payments went to employees
of the Emergency Management Agency. These individuals have dedicated their lives 24/7 to the
implementation and testing, vaccinating and public notices for St. Clair County residents in an effort to
reduce the spread of COVID-19 without any additional compensation. We could not have such a
successful efficient operation without these individuals. They put their lives on hold to help the citizens
of St. Clair County and we thank them for that. Upper management was not compensated with these

funds. Any public safety and public health employees were compensated from other sources for time
spent on COVID-19 activities.

Revenue Replacement

ARPA funds can be used for the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction of revenue
experienced due to the COVID-19 public health emergency. A recipient’s reduction in revenue is
measured relative to the revenue collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency. For
St. Clair County this fiscal year would begin with 2019 compared to 2020. This calculation can be
completed for 2020, 2021 and 2022.

These funds are to be used for government services.

As of 7/31/2021 the revenue replacement for the fiscal year 2019 to 2020 are being calculated and a final
number has not been reached to date.

Administrative and Other

The County will fund direct and indirect administrative costs for implementation of projects and programs.
Administering and developing the County’s Recovery Plan will require the oversight of the County Board
Chairman, Mark Kern and St. Clair County Auditor, Patty Sprague. Administrative funds may also be used

to hire a consultant to take over administration, monitoring and reporting associated with the County’s
Recovery Plan.

Equitable Outcomes

Our Plan will focus on projects and programs that may facilitate economic Prosperity in all St. Clair County
communities and hasten a full recovery from the pandemic.

ST. CLAIR COUNTY, ILLLINOIS
ARPA INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN August 31, 2021

As of 7/31/2021 we have obligated $18,495.72 of ARPA funds for security costs and equipment
maintenance at the 330 West Main location. We are still looking into the cost that will not be reimbursed
by FEMA at the Belle-Clair Fairgrounds location.

Other Public Health Services: Other COVID-19 expenditures include technology to continue County public
health operations and provide services to the public. These technology projects would allow for
teleworking so that the county may continue to provide socially distanced services to the public, residents
and communities online.

As of 7/31/2021 the County has invested $2,689.00 towards a software program that will allow citizens
to make appointments for services in the County Buildings. We are also looking into the purchase of
additional hardware and software to provide more efficient safe service regardless of the location of the
county employee or citizen.

Negative Economic Impacts

As stated in the Executive Summary, St. Clair County is still in the planning phase as to the most effective
uses for our county.

Many people have been affected in different ways when it comes to employment. The unemployment
rate as of June 2021 for St. Clair County was 6.8%, (ycharts.com) which is down from the 14.5% of June
2020. Just prior to the pandemic the unemployment rate averaged 4.2%. This is an area that is being
addressed with the possibility of additional job training programs.

Services to Disproportionately Impacted Communities

We believe there may be an increasing number in homelessness and unemployment since the pandemic
began. Programs are being researched to potentially assist citizens in this area. One of the main areas
could be job training. Additionally, sewer infrastructure in certain low-income areas is of concern.

The St. Clair County Intergovernmental Granting Agency will be providing services through additional
ARPA funds. They have received $5,737,614 for Low Income Home Energy Assistance. They were also
awarded rental assistance funds.
