Federal and State Legislative COVI D-19 DevelopmentsCopyrighted April 22, 2020 City of Dubuque Work Session - Bottom # 6. ITEM TITLE: Federal and State Legislative COVID-19 Developments SUMMARY: • Teri Goodman, Assistant City Manager SUGGESTED DISPOSITION: ATTACHMENTS: Description Type Update on Feder and State COVI D-19 Developments Staff Memo REVISED Update on Federal and State COVI D-19 Developments Supporting Documentation REVSED during meeting Morning -Consult / NLC Coronavirus Response Supporting Documentation Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Teri Goodmann, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: Update on Federal and State COVID-19 Developments DATE: April 21, 2020 Dubuque *Merin City 11 IIi' 2007.2012.2013 2017*2019 Background Due to unprecedented national health crisis caused by Covid-19 global pandemic and the attendant national economic crisis, Congress has passed three emergency supplemental bills. The most recent legislation, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act passed on March 27th. The CARES Act passed unanimously in the Senate and, following three hours of debate in the House, the bill passed with a voice vote. Discussion The CARES Act builds upon the first two supplemental bills and provides additional resources for medical professionals and medical facilities. In addition, the CARES Act includes funds for Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs), support for law enforcement and first responders, and funding for medical research into treatments and possible COVID19 vaccines. The CARES Act also provides financial assistance for businesses. Support for small businesses and workers makes up a significant portion of the CARES Act. Perhaps the bill's most successful program, the Payment Protection Plan (PPP), is administered by Small Business Administration (SBA) through local lenders in the community. The forgivable loan proceeds of this program, cover payroll costs and most mortgage interest, rent and utility costs over an 8-week period after the loan is made. These hallmark programs of the legislation support employee retention and provide businesses and nonprofit organizations with essential income through periods of quarantine. According to state officials the PPP investment in Iowa as of April 21 st from the CARES Act is $4.3 billion dollars. The CARES Act also features a "plus up" of the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program, which is administered by the federal Economic Development Administration (EDA). Advance EIDL loans in the state of Iowa total $17 million to date. City Economic Development department staff, Public Health department staff and City Manager's staff work closely with partners at Greater Dubuque Development Corporation and the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce to support efforts to disseminate information to local businesses owners and nonprofit organizations which are eligible for these programs. Of significant importance, is the Coronavirus Relief Fund, established under the CARES Act, which provides $150 billion for state, local and tribal governments to use to cover any costs related to COVID-19 that had not been previously budgeted for and which are incurred between March 1 and December 30, 2020. While most of these funds will go directly to states, the bill allocates direct financial assistance to cities above 500,000 in population or 31 cities across the nation. There is no provision that requires a state government to distribute money to local governments with populations smaller than 500,000. The State of Iowa has received its first transfer of funds from this program this week. The state will receive the minimum amount from this fund or $1.25 billion. No guidance has been received yet from the Treasury department on how this money should or could be shared with local governments nor has there been any indication from Governor Reynolds that local governments in Iowa will receive any of these funds. If cities and counties were to receive funds, it is important to note, that those dollars can only be used for expenses related to COVID19 and not for lost revenues. Despite only very large cities and counties receiving direct funding, a recent survey by the National League of Cities shows that 86 percent of Americans support federal government assistance to cities and towns to support and provide funding for coronavirus challenges in local communities. There is no provision in the CARES Act that requires a state government to distribute money to local governments. Mayor Buol and the City of Dubuque have communicated weekly with Congress since the passage of the CARES Act, urging members to include funding for local governments smaller than 500,000 population in the next supplemental. He has also advocated for the inclusion of language that would allow greater flexibility for any funding received so cities could use the funds for lost revenues in addition to expenses incurred due to the pandemic. The Mayor and City staff are also in contact with the mayors of the member cities of the Iowa Metro Coalition (cities with populations over 50,000) and are advocating with them, to the Governor, requesting that she apportion $563 million of the $1.25 billion of the Coronavirus Relief Fund to local governments across Iowa. This advocacy is also done in partnership with the Iowa League of Cities. City staff have also participated in national and statewide webinars advancing the interests of local governments in these difficult times and hold conversations with staff members of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and with our congressional staff communicating the same. While the CARES Act does not provide direct support for cities like Dubuque experiencing significant loss of revenue due to the global pandemic, the third supplemental bill did include increased funding for specific programs practiced and implemented by the City of Dubuque including: $850 billion in Department of Justice Byrne/Byrne Justice Assistance Grant program; $562 in Small Business Administration disaster loan program; $5 billion in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2 funds; $4 billion in Homeless Assistance Grants; $25 billion in Federal Transit Authority (FTA) for transit infrastructure grants including operating and overhead costs for local transit systems; and $10 billion in Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grants. A synopsis of the proposed use of these federal program funds in Dubuque: Small Business Administration grants are being managed through local area lenders with guidance and facilitation available to local businesses through Greater Dubuque Development Corporation and the City of Dubuque Economic Development Department, according to Economic Development Director Jill Connors. HUD Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds of $647,301 have been received. Alexis Steger, Director of the City Housing and Community Development Department, is currently spending these funds on temporary shelters and non - congregate housing for needy individuals. Some of the funds will also be used for a two - month period to administer the housing voucher program. CDBG funds are also being used to address food insecurity for area residents in partnership with the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque and the United Way. Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds of $1.4 million, according to City Transportation Director Renee Tyler, will be used on operations and payroll at the JULE. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) funds of $1.5 million will be put towards debt service in FY20 and FY21. Remaining dollars, according the Dubuque Regional Airport Manager Todd Dalsing, will be put in savings and put toward recovery initiatives at the Airport as the pandemic wanes. Justice Department funds from the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program of a "yet to be determined" amount, will be available in a few months according to Chief Dalsing. The Iowa State Assembly is still adjourned with plans to return following suspension of the legislature through April 30t". The legislative council has the authority to call the members back at a time they determine and at their discretion. Before departing the Capitol, the legislature authorized the Governor to spend up to $20 million in emergency funds on COVID-19 related issues. State "rainy day" funds can also be accessed by Governor Reynolds in a limited amount without consulting legislators. All state departments are on a status quo budget through August 31 or until the legislature returns and passes a 2021 budget. City staff also watch in the Governor's daily updates on Facebook live and maintain relationships with staff at the department of Homeland Security Emergency Management in order to access FEMA funding. Additional Discussion 3 Supplemental 3.5 Payroll Protection Plan and Healthcare Enhancement Act Yesterday, the Senate passed an interim package to provide worth $484 billion to small businesses and hospitals. This amends and adds funding to existing programs in the CARES Act. Here are the outlines of the provisions. Economic Development: . $310 billion for the Paycheck Protection Program . $30 billion PPP set -aside for small banks and credit unions . $30 billion PPP set -aside for Community Development Finance Institutions Public Health: . $75 billion for reimbursement to hospitals and healthcare providers to support the need for COVID-19 related expenses and lost revenue . $25 billion for COVID-19 testing The House and the Senate were at loggerheads on passing the bill because the House was holding out for additional funding for states and local governments. In the end, the bill included no additional funding for state and local governments and instead cities and states have been advised to wait until the next bill to receive financial relief. Discussions about including the Coronavirus Community Relief Act or using the funds from the Coronavirus Relief Fund in the CARES Act to allow use of funds to offset lost revenue also failed to make it into this interim bill. According to House Leadership, state and local governments will be at the "top of the list" in what was described by Speaker Pelosi as a "final" and fourth package. On his Twitter account, the President broadcasted: "After I sign this Bill, we will begin discussions on the next Legislative initiative with fiscal relief to State/Local Governments for lost revenue from COVID 19." Indications are that discussions about the next Bill will start immediately, but a final bill could take until Memorial Day to get to the floor. The House is expected to take up the Senate -passed legislation today. Recommendation I respectfully submit for your consideration. 4 33 Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: Michael C.

The CARES Act passed unanimously in the Senate and, following three hours of debate in the House, the bill passed with a voice vote. Yesterday, the Senate passed a fourth piece of COVID19 emergency funding legislation - what is called the interim supplemental and it amends the CARES Act — that is why it is called the "3.5 supplemental." The formal name is the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act The House HAS NOT acted yet on this legislation — the House was scheduled to vote to approve this legislation tonight -but I just received word from congressional staff that the vote is now anticipated tomorrow night Discussion The CARES Act builds upon the first two supplemental bills and provides additional resources for medical professionals and medical facilities.

However, the federal government's perceived preparedness is tainted by strong partisan divides. Whereas 72% of those who voted for Donald Trump in 2016 think the federal government is prepared, just 29% of those who voted for Hillary Clinton think the federal government is prepared. Though the federal government is the level most affected by partisan divides, Republicans are more likely than their Democratic counterparts to praise and positively rate the response to COVID-19 from all levels of government. Generation Z is particularly pessimistic about the response to the coronavirus from all levels of government. Gen Z's dissatisfaction with the response and communication from government may prove the importance of government adapting to new forms of communication with constituents, particularly communicating through social channels. Adults are divided and undecided about whether or not their local government is doing enough to stop the spread of COVID-19, help the most financially at -risk, and support those most vulnerable to health complications or community spread. Though adults are unsure if their local government is doing enough, adults are supportive of all actions proposed to control the spread and help vulnerable populations. This high level of support for proposals shows residents are action -oriented right now. Adults want to see their local government help control the spread of COVID-19 and support those most affected by the virus, even if it means raising local taxes. Support is strong across party lines, showing the bipartisan nature of getting something done right now. Eight -six percent of adults support the federal government providing funds directly to cities and towns to help support coronavirus challenges to local communities. Methodology This poll was conducted between March 17 — 20, 2020 among a national sample of 2,200 U.S. adults. The interviews were conducted online, and the data were weighted to approximate a target sample of U.S. adults based on age, educational attainment, gender, race, and region. Results from the full survey have a margin of error of +/- 2%.
