At the start of the meeting staff flagged the directive and said they were evaluating whether the pause affects the City of Dallas' various federal grants, including the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Staff cautioned that the ARPA funds already disbursed to the city are not reimbursement grants and, as of the briefing, the city holds the grant cash; staff said those funds are not expected to be immediately affected though they will continue to monitor the situation.

Committee members urged urgency, asking staff to prepare contingency plans and to reconvene the committee or call a special meeting if nonprofit partners told the city they faced imminent closures because of federal freezes. Staff said they were coordinating with the Office of Government Affairs and the city's federal lobbyist and would share updates as they gain clarity.

The meeting lost quorum and adjourned at 1:29 p.m. before the committee could take formal action on CDBG-related reprogramming recommendations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Dallas - Special Called Meeting of the Government Performance & Financial Management Committee - Jan 28, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Committee members raised concerns after an Office of Management and Budget memo placed a temporary pause on certain federal grants and financial assistance; staff said it would review impacts on CDBG and other federal grants and report back.","taxTitle","Dallas, Dallas County, Texas","taxId",2781,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6680087,"Committee hears Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport request to authorize debt issuance",49,111000,160000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159093-799eeea7a90c0e58f38efe4f6fa2a6e6&start=111&end=160","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159093-799eeea7a90c0e58f38efe4f6fa2a6e6/thumbnail_111000.jpg","/articles/6680087/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/Committee-hears-Dallas-Fort-Worth-International-Airport-request-to-authorize-debt-issuance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6680087-1e3166ad71ccba133a78eed7987da595/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202295&Signature=PtiBaknD07bwOKajKKeQ3wXgdWXc-kac4GaemTefJbOVnhtYjj03NdyYc95a6vO6QYoKhT9zPGVvGcVRzqhunYhjXgHOgRwqrL10Y9k-qJFEZISSoqZNgKCydzMZOb3LRxGqHDGV42Rawiia2E3PGzBWkhrEWonbw7vUjgaad3vwnwQlxkuL6ulSQnKzBf6WayTcIxx2wOxru-PXL~tp20HRWYgVVqDWYtfUoVa9PEM80WsEEGQJl57Iu02O1txj7KdinAqwlT3QJEU1uYANfNXHnFxIqrKuFR9OBnCW0biTsgDsEbpMrfCJ4NkNLl9hYXb8xmzuENnamvRl1xVK5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A representative of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport told the Government Performance and Financial Management Committee on Jan. 28 that the airport is in the middle of a multibillion-dollar program and asked the committee to authorize resolutions enabling future debt issuance and commercial paper draws.

The representative said the airport is working on a $9,000,000,000 program and asked for authorization for up to $3,000,000,000 in issuances over the next year, and authority to access its commercial paper program if needed. The committee was told these are routine requests that both Dallas and Fort Worth approve as a normal part of the airports' financing activity; staff said the item will appear on the council agenda in the coming weeks.

Committee members had no substantive questions and did not take formal action at the special-called meeting. The briefing was described by staff as an annual routine presentation tied to planned debt issuances and to satisfy local approval requirements prior to council consideration.","A representative from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport briefed the committee on a multi-billion-dollar debt program and requested Dallas' routine authorization for upcoming issuances; the committee did not act before adjournment.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6680092,"Dallas committee reviews staff recommendation to reprogram ARPA funds toward public-safety hiring",625,195000,820000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2159093-799eeea7a90c0e58f38efe4f6fa2a6e6&start=195&end=820","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2159093-799eeea7a90c0e58f38efe4f6fa2a6e6/thumbnail_195000.jpg","/articles/6680092/Dallas/Dallas-County/Texas/Dallas-committee-reviews-staff-recommendation-to-reprogram-ARPA-funds-toward-public-safety-hiring","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6680092-528a0086fab2f79e0d6eb368af3bca5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771202295&Signature=FzaMub8OoZ2HRXjQ8XKWtv9OyNjVW3d6HwS-nrsuM0aj~STW6G1nz6q3k7IlP2S35Hm9uH2cCm3KgIYHeT5U7--p~jIKtooJBAjBUWTG6dioX00PF-GIItVWNUa8M5xnfkMvrVtiS44lDfdeiTaAB5p5mSryNlCkQ5QLr~EXgMu0Jpw4C3zJccvAse5TYhweUGRA1T-rsWY074cj~D2ob0ExFYcH9aiUhqlUsSn171vPa9WXX-naDfYPsCaHLz2mPf2SKF1Lvb-b8s147sIpTmxDAUkL~OlsG-E4W1CFVFYG~w~N~MnnwZJJyBF2JE8eqh8wb9c5IhCI18oRrq~VSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Government Performance and Financial Management Committee on Jan. 28 that they plan to recommend reprogramming American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support public-safety hiring and retention, and that the recommendation may be adjusted in response to a federal Office of Management and Budget directive.

The recommendation, presented by Jeanette Wheaton of Budget and Management Services and Shan Williams, assistant director over grama administration, would reprogram $7,968,226 from identified ARPA balances into a public-safety hiring and retention category, staff said. The briefing also described a broader four-category spending framework that includes revenue stabilization, public-safety hiring and retention, an infrastructure investment fund, and an \"unmet needs\" category for resident services.

Staff said the city received $355,400,000 in ARPA state and local fiscal recovery funds and that, as of the briefing, roughly $330,900,000 had been spent or encumbered, leaving about $24,500,000 available to reprogram. City staff said they will prepare a budget amendment for council consideration in May 2025 and would only add new projects they believe can be completed by the U.S. Treasury deadline for the grant program.

Jack Carlin, the city chief financial officer, told the committee the presentation had been prepared before the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued a directive earlier that day. Carlin said staff would review the OMB guidance and might adjust the recommendation before the full council briefing next week. \"As we learn more, we might make a change,\" he said.

Vice Chair Blackman and other committee members expressed concern about the potential impact of federal freezes on city partners, particularly nonprofit service providers such as Family Gateway. Council members urged staff to develop contingency plans and to reconvene the committee or full council if nonprofit partners report imminent closures. Wheaton said the city had begun contingency planning and would update council as information developed.

Staff also described the ARPA redevelopment fund, created by reallocating eligible Dallas Fire-Rescue payroll expenses into a multi-year fund. In the briefing, staff reported that the redevelopment fund had a stated total budget and an unencumbered balance (figures reported in the briefing as presented by staff). The committee heard that staff is monitoring spending and would bring recommendations for any reprogramming back to council.

The committee lost quorum and adjourned at 1:29 p.m. before taking formal action on the staff recommendation; no vote occurred at the committee meeting.","City staff briefed the Government Performance and Financial Management Committee on American Rescue Plan Act spending, proposing to reprogram roughly $7.97 million to public-safety hiring and outlining monitoring steps after an Office of Management and Budget directive prompted additional review.","actionData","errors"]
