body
DESCRIPTION
The United States government has provided the County American Rescue Plan Act funds (ARP Funds) to assist in responding to the COVID-19 public health emergency. A portion of the ARP Funds have been allocated to address COVID-19’s impact on public health as well as its economic harm to households, small businesses, non-profits, and impacted industries. After requesting and receiving requests for an allocation of ARP Funds from small businesses and non-profit agencies located in Polk County, the Board selected recipients who will receive an ARP Fund award to address these impacts.
Medical Associates of Central Florida, P.A. has been established since 1993 and provides primary care (acute disease, chronic disease, preventative care and women’s health) for adults 18 and up in the Lake Wales and Haines City area. Medical Associates was awarded funding to renovate office space at the Lake Wales location to create adequate space for group meetings and patient education, replace the HVAC unit, replace the roof and to pave parking area. Transportation and recruitment of staff to conduct education will also be provided.
This amendment does not change the awarded total but amends the contract to meet audit requirements (changing recipient from a beneficiary to a subrecipient) of the County.
RECOMMENDATION
Request the Board approve the First Amendment to the American Rescue Plan Local Fiscal Recovery Funding Agreement with Medical Associates of Central Florida, P.A.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
