Page 3 of 3 <br /> <br />Based on an article published in the Star Tribune on 03/13/2022, an informal survey of four dozen <br />Twin Cities suburbs shows that many are using ARPA funds on sewer and water infrastructure <br />projects, fire department updates, community and sport center projects, and technology and <br />software needs. One city noted that using ARPA funds on water and sewer projects means the city <br />won’t have to bond for future improvements and can keep utility costs down – which affects all <br />property owners. Another city noted that the council wanted to focus on project that would not <br />have been able to be done but for the ARPA funds. <br /> <br />Staff is looking for preliminary direction on how Council would like us to prioritize spending the <br />funds. Following preliminary direction from the City Council, Staff will bring back a formalized <br />plan for Council to consider and approve. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />A.
