Main Street Los Gatos, CA 95030 ● (408) 354-6832 www.losgatosca.gov TOWN OF LOS GATOS COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT MEETING DATE: 06/07/2022 ITEM NO: 8 DATE: June 1, 2022 TO: Mayor and Town Council FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager SUBJECT: Authorize the Town Manager to Execute an Extension of the LGS Recreation 55+ Senior Services American Rescue Plan Act Grant RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Town Manager to execute an extension of the LGS Recreation 55+ Senior Services American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant. BACKGROUND: On September 7, 2021, the Town Council appropriated $328,500 in funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to the LGS Recreation 55+ to mitigate the negative effects of senior service provision in Town due to COVID-19. The original term of the agreement is from October 1, 2021 to October 31, 2022 (Attachment 1). DISCUSSION: LGS Recreation has requested an extension of the agreement due to unforeseen implementation challenges related to ongoing variants and other issues. To address these issues, LGS Rec appropriately scaled down the implementation of their original plan and to date has committed or expended $123,096.52 of the original grant. Staff recommends a four-month extension of the agreement to February 28, 2023, to allow the LGS Recreation 55+ program sufficient time to expend the remaining grant funds prudently. CONCLUSION: Approve extension of LGS Recreation 55+ Senior Services American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant agreement to February 28, 2023.
