A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE RECEIPT OF LOCAL ALLOCATION(S) OF
FEDERAL CARES ACT CORONAVIRUS RELIEF FUND PAYMENTS FROM THE
COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA AND THE PREPARATION AND EXECUTION
OF THE REQUIRED CERTIFICATION
WHEREAS, the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES)
Act of 2020 provides funding for a variety of different programs to address the COVID-19
pandemic, including assistance to state, local, territorial and tribal governments for the direct
impact of the pandemic, through the establishment of the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF); and
WHEREAS, allocations from the CRF were sent to states based on population (and
directly to certain larger jurisdictions meeting a population threshold), including the
Commonwealth, and the Governor has determined that a portion of the locally -based allocations
(50%) will be distributed by the Department of Accounts (DOA) to counties and cities, based
on the proportion that the locality's population represents of the statewide total population, on
or around June 1, 2020, after DOA's receipt of a signed certification from the locality; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to pursue its allocation and accept such funds, subject to
the limitations imposed on their disbursement by the CARES Act and in accordance with
applicable guidance.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF FAIRFAX THAT:
1. The City shall pursue any allocation of CRF funds from the Commonwealth,
provided that such funds, once received, shall be segregated for use for qualifying
expenses as provided in the CARES Act and subject to applicable limitations.
2. The City Manager, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Mayor are authorized and
directed, on behalf of the City, to execute the Certification for Receipt of
Coronavirus Relief Fund Payments required by the Commonwealth and to ensure
the City's compliance with any requirements associated with the use of such funds.
3. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
