"Over the past month, we have held eight in-person town hall meetings for the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and have gathered valuable input and ideas from our residents. This telephone town hall meeting is another convenient way to participate," stated City Manager Erik Walsh. "We understand that our residents are busy and have many priorities. Meetings like this are a convenient way to hear directly from our community from the comfort of their homes. Please join us, ask questions, and let us know what your priorities are for the ARPA funds. We look forward to hearing from you."

The City also opened an ARPA survey, which will remain open through December 1, 2021. The survey gives residents the opportunity to weigh in on their priorities for ARPA funds. City residents can take the survey at www.saspeakup.com/arpasurvey or by calling 311.
