Study Session - Budget

The City of Fullerton was allocated $32.67 million by the American Rescue Act Plan of 2021 (ARPA). These funds are intended to repair the economic damage of COVID-19. The City received $16.33 million in May and will receive another $16.33 million next fiscal year.

ARPA rules allow for expenditures under several broad categories, including:

1. Support public health expenditures.

2. Address negative economic impacts of the pandemic.

3. Invest in sewer, water, and broadband infrastructure.

This means the use of funds is not unlimited; the money must be spent within these categories.

On September 14 at 4:00pm, the City Council will hold a study session to discuss and consider priorities for spending the City's ARPA funds.

You can view the September 14 meeting packet here when it becomes available.  The cover page explains how you can attend the meeting either in person or online.

You may provide public comment remotely by phone or online via ZOOM, or live in person.  Visit www.cityoffullerton.com/participate to learn more about how you can provide a comment during the meeting.  

 


As items are identified, the Fullerton City Council may hold Study Sessions as scheduled.

A study session is an informal meeting of the City Council where issues affecting the city may be discussed in greater detail than time allows during a regular City Council meeting. Council does not take action on items discussed during a Study Session, but instead gathers information and explores options. Like a regular meeting, a study session requires 72 hours advanced notice, a majority of the City Council must be present, and the meeting must be open to the public.
