 | RESOLUTION NO. 142 of 2022 DATED: June 28, 2022 |
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING FMCC TO UTILIZE HEERF III FUNDS AS A MATCH FOR STATE CAPITAL FUNDS REIMBURSEMENT (FMCC)
| Seconded by: | Kelly |
WHEREAS, On June 2, FMCC was notified that the New York Division of Budget has authorized the use of Higher Education Emergency Relief (HEERF) funds as the local share for COVID-related capital projects. Colleges’ proposed use of stimulus funds must address COVID-related capital needs to ensure college operations continue safely and effectively, including deferred maintenance projects accelerated to critical maintenance because of newly identified safety needs; and
WHEREAS, any project must abide by all federal rules and timing relating to the proper use of these funds. Colleges must have a sponsor resolution authorizing the project and stating the source of funds (HEERF III); and
WHEREAS, FMCC has identified three projects that would otherwise be submitted as part of the regular capital project funding process. The first is replacement of an air conditioning unit in the lower level of the classroom building that is undersized and has reached the end of its useful life. The project is estimated at $250,000. The second is the replacement of server hardware that supports distance learning technology at a cost of $95,000. The final project is the purchase of laptop computers for faculty for the delivery of distance learning at a cost of $75,000; and
WHEREAS, there is no local sponsor contribution required. FMCC would manage the project, including funding the project and seeking reimbursement from NYS.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the County Executive is hereby authorized to sign the project finance application with the State University of New York, and be it further
RESOLVED, that this resolution is contingent upon a similar resolution being approved by Fulton County.
