Assistance Listings number: 21.027 COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Contact Person(s): Jayson Vowell, Finance Director Anticipated completion date: June 30, 2023 Concur. During the audit period, fiscal year 21-22, the only reportable expenditure to the grantor was the $10 million standard deduction for revenue loss claimed by the County. The remaining reports did not include reportable expenditures as the projects identified had not begun as construction contracts are currently being negotiated between the County and contractors. Therefore, the County either did not perform a review or did so verbally between staff. To ensure County policy and procedures are followed, the County will require that all future program reports are reviewed for accuracy, agree to County records, and contain only allowable expenditures before submitting them to the federal agency. In addition, the County will ensure that this review process is documented.

To help ensure the County meets the WIOA Cluster?s earmarking requirement to spend no less than 20 percent of WIOA Youth Activities funds allocated to the County to provide in-school and out-of-school youth with paid and unpaid work experiences (WEX), the County has revised its process for tracking work experience expenditures. The County will utilize the revised process and provide technical assistance to the sub-recipient, Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) to implement procedures that will lead to an increase in Youth enrollments and placement into WEX to ensure at least 20 percent of the WIOA Youth Activities funds allocated to the County are used to provide in-school and out-of-school youth with paid and unpaid WEX. County staff is currently working with CPLC staff to implement a different approach to attaining the WEX requirements. The recommended solutions include improved tracking and monitoring of the WIOA Youth WEX activities to include both paid and unpaid work experiences, increasing all youth outreach, partnering with other local youth programs, and enrolling youth with barriers pursuant to current policy. The County will be tracking Youth progress and will be revising strategies as needed. The County?s goal is to see a significant increase in Youth WEX program activities by the end of fiscal year 22-23.

The nonprofit organization was created in part to serve as the administrative arm of the Local Board and to provide a location for a resource center where WIOA services would be provided. The County did not distinguish fiscal responsibilities between parties and therefore assumed that certain expenditures of the Local Board and nonprofit would be allowable and could be paid directly by the County. The County considered the expenditures of the nonprofit to be program related, even though they were not directly incurred by the County. The County will improve its accounts payable policies and procedures for processing invoices using established process within the Finance Department, including ensuring all invoices are addressed to the County prior to payment. In addition, the County will establish clear contractual agreements that establish fiscal responsibilities that follow the program?s requirements. Finally, the County will coordinate with the pass-through grantor for the repayment of the unallowable costs identified in the finding.

FINDING 2022-003 Finding Subject: Activities Allowed or Unallowed, Allowable Costs/Cost Principles, Period of Performance Summary of Finding: Noncompliance regarding the above compliance requirements Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Koren Gray Contact Phone Number: 765-436-2205 Views of Responsible Official: No corrective action is required. The Town?s use of funds was appropriate under the law effective at the time of their actions. While the FAQs and fact sheets seem fairly clear that ARPA funds cannot be used to pay for any debt, including, specifically, BANs and tax anticipation warrants, the language in the actual Interim Final Rule seems to allow ARPA funds to be used for new debt. The Interim Final Rule, issued in May 2021, states: ?Contributions to rainy day funds and similar financial reserves would not address these needs or respond to the COVID?19 public health emergency but would rather constitute savings for future spending needs. Similarly, this eligible use category would not include payment of interest or principal INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 27 Per Uniform Guidance: 2 CFR ? 200.511(a) ? ?The auditee is responsible for follow-up and corrective action on all audit findings. . .The auditee must also prepare a corrective action plan for current year audit findings. . . The corrective action plan and summary schedule of prior audit findings must include findings relating to the financial statements which are required to be reported in accordance with GAGAS. ? 2 CFR ? 200.511(c) ? ?At the completion of the audit, the auditee must prepare, in a document separate from the auditor's findings described in ? 200.516, a corrective action plan to address each audit finding included in the current year auditor's reports. The corrective action plan must provide the name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action, the corrective action planned, and the anticipated completion date. If the auditee does not agree with the audit findings or believes corrective action is not required, then the corrective action plan must include an explanation and specific reasons.? on outstanding debt instruments, including, for example, short-term revenue or tax anticipation notes, or other debt service costs. As discussed below, payments from the Fiscal Recovery Funds are intended to be used prospectively and the interim final rule precludes use of these funds to cover the costs of debt incurred prior to March 3, 2021. Fees or issuance costs associated with the issuance of new debt would also not be covered using payments from the Fiscal Recovery Funds because such costs would not themselves have been incurred to address the needs of pandemic response or its negative economic impacts.? The Final Rule, issued in 2022, summarizes the Interim Final Rule, including that the Interim Final Rule did not allow for ?payment of interest or principal on outstanding debt instruments; ? [or] fees or issuance costs associated with the issuance of new debt?? The issue date of these bond anticipation notes is the same as the actual date of delivery, which is after March 3, 2021. Under all federal laws, debt does not exist until it is actually issued ? that is to say, debt does not exist at the time of approval of the PER, the time of adoption of the authorizing documents, or at any point before it is actually issued. The Thorntown BANs were issued after March 3, 2021, making them ?new debt,? not ?outstanding debt? for the purposes of the Rules. The Interim Rule does not allow for debt service payments on outstanding debt as it is not a prospective use of the funds. It does, however, seem to allow for debt service payments on ?new debt,? just not for issuance costs, which were covered by the SRF. The Final Rule also includes this statement: ?Specifically, use of funds for debt service, to replenish financial reserves, or to satisfy an obligation arising from a judicial settlement or judgment were ineligible uses of funds under the eligible use categories for public health and negative economic impacts and revenue loss. These restrictions apply to all recipients. Recipients should note that restrictions on use of funds for debt service, to replenish financial reserves, or to satisfy an obligation arising from a judicial settlement or judgment apply to all eligible use categories, not just the eligible use categories in which they were discussed in the interim final rule.? The Final Rule clarifies several times that all debt service, including short term debt issued after the beginning of the pandemic in response to the lack of revenue, was intended to be an ineligible use. However, because the Final Rule seems to make it clear that the Interim Final Rule was unclear on this point, the Town can make a strong argument based on the points above that this BAN was an eligible use under their interpretation of the Interim Final Rule and should be allowed under the Treasury?s Statement Regarding Compliance with the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Interim Final Rule and Final Rule. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Not Applicable. However, as final guidance and the final rule are now available, the Town would not use ARPA funds to pay for any new debts moving forward. INDIANA STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS 28 Per Uniform Guidance: 2 CFR ? 200.511(a) ? ?The auditee is responsible for follow-up and corrective action on all audit findings. . .The auditee must also prepare a corrective action plan for current year audit findings. . .
