Actual use of CARES Act funding for costs incurred during fiscal year 2020-21 will depend on a year-end reconciliation process led by the County Administrative Office-Finance and Administration. Any costs not eligible for reimbursement from CARES Act funds will be funded by departmental sources, including Net County Cost, if applicable.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
LUS provides comprehensive regional planning services and enforces building standards, land uses, and environmental impacts to help create a framework for orderly growth while keeping residents safe. The LUS 2020-21 budget did not include COVID-related expenses for continuing of departmental operations via telecommuting and mitigation in response to preventing COVID-19 exposure when returning to the offices. The requested adjustments will allow the department to utilize CARES Act revenue for its COVID-related expenses.
