WHEREAS, on Thursday, January 6, 2022, the United States Treasury published the
ARPA Final Rule with Commentary stated that the Uniform Grant Guidelines (UGG) and
the Award Terms and Conditions do not permit elected officials to receive any Rescue
grant funds because of UGG's conflict of interest provisions; and

NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Batesville City Council, that:
The City Council directs the Batesville City Clerk to move the expenditures for the
Premium Pay and the applicable employer payroll contributions for the City elected
officials in the total amount of $ from the Rescue / ARPA grant fund to the
City General Revenue Fund and the city hereby amends its grant expenses to reflect a
decrease in expenses and moves them to the City General Revenue budget which will
