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.
