City Council Meeting Minutes November 3, 2021 <br />working with the County to direct and support eligible families to the program <br />by ensuring they obtain/submit all necessary documentation required to meet <br />the Emergency Rental Assistance program requirements. <br />Staff recommends that $53,775 from the American Rescue Plan be used for <br />unpaid hotel stays for TFAC clients and to fund an additional 2 - 3 week <br />transition period. It would pay off the outstanding balance of $21,000 that has <br />accrued since October 3. He stated $32,775 is proposed to cover two to three <br />additional weeks of hotel stays for those TFAC clients that are ineligible for the <br />ERA program to allow time for them to transition to alternative arrangements. <br />Staff is working with clients to provide any available resources. <br />Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott wanted confirmation that the outstanding <br />balance that Together for a Cause didn't pay is $21,000. Mr. Lumbreras stated <br />that is the outstanding balance to the hotels and that is what we know. <br />Mayor Hughson stated that $250,000 had been allocated to TFAC for working <br />with clients for transition assistance. This funding is going to the same purpose <br />and this has not changed from what was previously voted on. Mr. Lumbreras <br />confirmed that the allocated money was to be given to TFAC but now it is <br />going directly to the hotels. He stated there was discussion on the possibility to <br />transition to a non-profit organization that could take over management. The <br />goal is to get as many as we can eligible for the County's program. <br />The motion to approve carried by the following vote: <br />For: 7 - Mayor Pro Tem Derrick, Mayor Hughson, Council Member Baker, Council <br />Member Gonzales, Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Scott, Council Member Garza and <br />Council Member Gleason <br />Against: 0 <br />NON -CONSENT AGENDA <br />13.
