Agenda 07/12/2022 Item #16D 7 (6th Amendment to American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Program Recovery Plan)07/12/2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to accept Amendment Six to the American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Program Recovery Plan and authorize programmatic funding reallocations; and authorize the County Manager or designee to sign all sub -award agreements and authorize the submission of the annual Performance Plan. OBJECTIVE: To provide an update on American Rescue Plan (ARP) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Program Recovery Plan and the Annual Performance Plan. CONSIDERATIONS: Since the onset of the global COVID-19 health pandemic, Congress has passed several pieces of legislation that provided funding for states, counties, municipalities, and tribal governments. Large pieces of legislation, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 - which included a $900 billion COVID- 19 Relief package - and the American Rescue Plan Act 2021 made funds available for a variety of uses for pandemic recovery. In addition, several existing grant programs, like the Emergency Rental Assistance, Community Development Block Grant, Emergency Solutions Grant, and HOME ARP Grant, were provided to address the COVID- 19 response. Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARP), and it was signed into law on March 11, 2021. Included in the legislation was a $350 billion Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund - Collier County received an allocation of $74,762,701. Like the CARES Act, uses of these funds will be directed by the local governing body, following US Treasury guidance. Collier County received its initial appropriation of $37,381,350.50 on June 10. The second fifty percent (50%) appropriation is pending receipt from the US Treasury. Allowable uses outlined in the ARP include: • To respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts, including assistance to households, small businesses, and nonprofits, or aid to impacted industries such as tourism, travel, and hospitality; • To respond to workers performing essential work during the COVID-19 public health emergency by providing premium pay to eligible workers; • For the provision of government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue due to the COVID-19 public health emergency relative to revenues collected in the most recent full fiscal year prior to the emergency; and • To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure. On May 11, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved Agenda Item #1 1J, an "After - the -Fact" agreement submission to the U.S. Treasury. On June 22, 2021, Agenda Item #11H, staff presented a preliminary performance plan to the Board. This preliminary performance plan was based on the interim final rule published by the US Treasury. Subsequently, on January 6, 2022, the US Treasury published the final rule and made significant programmatic and regulatory changes that took effect on April 1, 2022. On March 22, 2022, Agenda Item #16D7, staff submitted Amendment #5 of the Plan to Board that included changes to funding allocations based upon the US Treasury Final rule. The following table presents ARP allocations included in Amendment #5 and the proposed allocations for Amendment #6. Of note, Treasury effectuated changes to all Expenditure Categories in mid-2022 after Amendment #5 had been finalized; hence, the Expenditure Categories (ECs) are organized according to Interim Final Rule ECs in the first column and according to Final Rule ECs in the second column. The I Packet Pg. 1526 1 07/12/2022 funding changes between Amendment #5 and #6 are primarily due to Expenditure Category changes that necessitated a realignment of programs and a reduction to the premium pay budget required for Emergency Medical Services, fewer funds were needed to meet the obligation. These continue to implement Board direction to support community services and activities.

The US Treasury requires the submission of quarterly reports and an annual evaluation performance report in August of each year through March 2027. To meet the US Treasury evaluation requirement staff has secured Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) as the evaluator to determine the effectiveness and benefit of the proposed programs. The projects and expenditures will be continually monitored, and staff will provide updates to the Board no less than annually. A draft of the annual performance report is attached to this item - that is, Amendment #6 / Recovery Plan Packet Pg. 1528 07/12/2022 2022 Appendix A. The final version of the plan is not yet available due to the quarter ending June 30 and FGCU's need to gather and analyze the data. Once the final version is complete it will be presented to the Board in September 2022 for ratification "After -the -Fact".

In Collier County, these impacts have been felt by individuals, families, local businesses as well as government and nonprofit services. In response to this nationwide crisis, the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was signed into law on March 11, 2021, which established the Coronavirus State Fiscal Recovery Fund and Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund. These funds build upon the first wave of support to state and local governments established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. While the CARES Act was intended to respond to immediate impacts from the pandemic, ARPA funding is designed to help communities turn the tide on the pandemic, address economic fallout and lay the foundation for a strong, effective, efficient, and equitable long-term recovery. ARPA funds can be used to support broad range of eligible expenses' which are designed to: ■ Support public health response, ■ Address negative economic impacts, ■ Replace public sector revenue loss, ■ Provide premium pay for essential workers, and ■ Make improvements to water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure. Collier County will receive $74,762,701 in Coronavirus State and Local Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to address local impacts. Understanding the wide array of needs throughout the community, Collier County leadership has authorized spending on support for individual, food assistance, educational programming, mental health, healthcare services, businesses, nonprofits, and affordable housing. It is the hope of leadership that every resident can benefit from the investment of these funds while ensuring that the needs of the most vulnerable in the community are targeted to promote an equitable recovery. The Collier County Recovery Plan outlines the programs that will be implemented with these funds. As these are long-term recovery funds, the County has approximately five years (December 31, 2026) to provide services and complete projects. This plan will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Treasury, aligning proposed programs with a classification system developed by Treasury for reporting on expenditures. The County recognizes that pandemic recovery must be flexible to respond to shifting changes and needs in the community and may make changes to program expenditures throughout the implementation period to address U.S. Treasury. "Interim Final Rule". 31 CFR Part 35 Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 6 the highest priority within the community. Collier County will measure the outputs and outcomes of projects along the way and evaluate the successes of these initiatives. To develop this plan, Collier County staff evaluated local data and worked with organizations throughout the community to consider projects that fit the community's needs. Collier County also conducted a public survey that requested feedback on proposed expenditures and additional needs. The County received over 200 responses to this survey from residents, businesses, and nonprofits with overwhelming support for the programs identified. Nearly 99% of all respondents felt that the programs outlined would benefit Collier County residents and over 94% of respondents felt that programs would benefit businesses. Transparency is important to the leadership of Collier County. The Collier County Recovery Plan, along with annual performance reports, will be posted on the Collier County website, enabling the public to monitor the spending and progress of each program. This initial Recovery Plan covers the period from the date of award to July 31, 2021. Thereafter, the Recovery Plan will cover a 12-month period and recipients will be required to submit the report to Treasury within 30 days after the end of the 12-month period (by July 31).

Plan Format Key Through its final rule, the US Department of Treasury details seven major expenditure categories with a total of eighty three (83) sub -categories to ensure that proposed expenditures are eligible activities. Treasury guidance directs local governments to align each expenditure with a designated category. Collier County has identified projects in six of the seven major Expenditure Categories — EC1-4, 6, and 7 (EC 5, Infrastructure, is not utilized). To demonstrate the breadth of projects included in this plan along with the alignment with expenditure category, this plan has been formatted to associate a color and icon with each of the six major expenditure categories that are included in this plan.

This plan identifies 19 projects in 16 Treasury -defined Expenditure Categories to receive funding over the five- year horizon. However, due to the evolving nature of the pandemic and associated recovery, these categories may shift over time to accommodate other federally allowed expenditure categories of funding. An overview of County funding areas is provided by the graphic on the previous page. The use of funds will be covered in detail in the following sections, classified by expenditure category.

For details on current Key Performance Indicators and other project tracking, see the KPI section, below. Progress To -Date 2021 The County finalized allocations for its initial plan and provided a timely submission in August 2021. A software platform was initiated to manage subrecipients and direct applications, and sub -recipient agreements and Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) began development. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 13 2022 Since the submission of the initial Recovery Plan in August 2021, Treasury released its SLFRF Final Rule. This impacted the feasibility of Collier projects, which were updated in to streamline reporting and ensure that the County is able to efficiently render services to residents and businesses as the community works towards long-term recovery from the pandemic. 100% of funds have been encumbered as projects, bearing new Expenditure Category labels. The software platform is now 75% complete, capable of managing subrecipient projects and handling direct grant applications. A direct grant portal for project CC 1.1 Affordable Housing: Mortgage and Rent is open and applications are being reviewed. The County, Florida Gulf Coast University, and implementation partners have submitted timely reporting to Treasury, and will continue to meet reporting and expenditure goals as outlined by Treasury. Challenges and Opportunities 2021 The Collier County Recovery Plan represents new efforts, augmentation, and expansion of services to Collier County. Given the amount of funding, finalizing the current set of projects and coordination and capacity building among sub -recipients offered challenges and opportunities to explore new interventions united under a common set of goals. Additionally, Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funds are new and guidance on implementation will likely continue to be released by the US Department of Treasury over the next year. Collier County's current plan and allocation of programs among Expenditure Categories represents the County's understanding of these classifications, which may receive further definition and differentiation by the federal government. It is expected that with new guidance released, the County may need to realign programs to better fit within Expenditure Category definitions. Therefore, working to refine the local Expenditure Category — Project — Subaward system is an ongoing process, and it is the County's hope that Treasury will continue to make technical assistance available to SLFRF recipients. 2022 As anticipated, Final Rule guidance has impacted Collier County projects, which underwent an extensive reconsideration and changes in light of the January 2022 release by Treasury. Five projects were substituted with replacements based on streamlined reporting or factors impacting allowability of costs. The County will continue to monitor and respond to Treasury guidance by re -orienting and updating its Recovery Plan and projects. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 14 USES OF FUNDS In collaboration with partners and in parallel with other federal COVID-19 funding, Collier County has identified a range of projects that further local pandemic response and recovery. Based on current data and community outreach, projects within Expenditure Categories 1-4 and 6-7 have been identified. Indicators influencing an assessment of overall community and economic health, such as unemployment and household income are discussed in the following section. Unemployment and Income According to Local Area Unemployment Statistics, Collier unemployment levels have largely stabilized since the onset of the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, Collier County unemployment reached a low of 2.9% in December 2019. The sudden rise in unemployment peaked in April of 2020 (14.3%), then declined over the next six months. By December of 2020, the unemployment rate was down to the pre -pandemic level of the previous year (2.9%). As of January 2022, unemployment is 2.9%, which is down 1.8 points year -over -year, and even down .5 points from the January 2020 level. Collier County is hopeful that it will not experience another hike in unemployment as leaders, businesses and residents have gained more knowledge over the past two years in regards to the pandemic. However, it is recognized that the uncertain course of the pandemic could cause additional volatility in the future. 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 Collier County Unemployment Rate from 2020 — Most Recent Available Month 14.3 Collier County Unemployment Rate: 2020-2022 10.5 V, 4.7 4.3 3.5 / 2.9 2.3 0 41 06� �Qz` lac F'Q �P�`a� ��c p�eQ O� 2 https://florida'obs.org/workforce-statistics/data-center/statistical-programs/local-area-unemployment-statistics Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 15 While the overall poverty rate in Collier County is comparatively low at 9.4% (Census), like many counties there are pockets within the community wherein it is more pervasive. Collier has eleven Qualified Census Tracts (detailed in the "Promoting Equitable Outcomes" section) wherein 50% of households make less than 60% of the area median income and are eligible for low-income housing assistance. These communities, including Immokalee, East Naples, Golden Gate, and others represent focus areas for COVID-19 treatment, vaccination, other health assistance, household assistance, economic assistance, and beyond to strive for an efficient, effective, and equitable recovery. Funding Tables Given recovering unemployment, yet persistent pockets of disproportionately disadvantaged, Expenditure Categories and underlying projects provide a diverse set of interventions to support communities and businesses in Collier County. Collier County and partners have identified projects within Expenditure Categories 1 - 4, and 6-7. The following set of graphics detail Expenditure Category and Project information for all Collier County activities within this Recovery Plan. LPublic Heal, 169 the range of Public Health represents thirteen percent of total funds allocated to address public health challenges and needs.

Expenditure :•Q: Category areas are as follows: U These areas will promote a well-rounded recovery from the pandemic over the next five years — as funding must be fully obligated by December 31, 2024 and expended by December 31, 2026. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 18 Other Federal Funds Currently in Use to Respond to COVID-19 Collier County has deployed federal response and recovery funds since mid-2020. Through its CARES programs — amounting to $67.1 million, which are now fully exhausted - the County was able to prevent further crises and achieve economic stabilization. This included individual assistance (CCAP) and business assistance grants that have been re -tooled for inclusion in the current recovery plan (CC 1.1 and 2.2). A review of five currently active federal recovery funds totaling $30.3 million is provided below for broader context: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) CV [$2,744,274] - Annually, utilizing a formula basis, Collier County is awarded grant funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Collier County utilizes fifteen percent (15%) of its annual allotment of grant funding for public service activities and the balance is utilized to support public activities related to a variety of infrastructure projects (i.e., stormwater planning, sidewalks, new fire station, etc.). All funds must meet a National Objective — Low - to -moderate Income, prevent or eliminate slum and blight or urgent community need. Specific projects support legal service for businesses, senior center, health services. HOME Investment Partnership (HOME)- ARP [$2,729,0781— Collier County is considered a Participating Jurisdiction (PJ) for the HOME program. The funding received, is allocated utilizing a formula designed to reflect relative housing need. These funds are utilized to implement local housing strategies that enables Collier County to increase affordable housing opportunities for low and very low-income families. Funding will support the acquisition of a transitional housing complex for persons who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and may have special needs. Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) CV [$3,183,770] — The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, awards grants on a formula basis, to Collier County. These funds are utilized to provide emergency assistance to people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness so that they might quickly regain stability in permanent housing. Funding will support rapid rehousing, case management, and shelter operations. Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) [$20,487,214] - Funds provided via the US Treasury to local governments to assist with rental debt and evictions and the loss of basic housing security. COVID-19 has exacerbated an affordable housing crisis that predated the pandemic and that has exacerbated deep disparities that threaten the strength of an economic recovery that must work for everyone. To meet this need, the Emergency Rental Assistance program makes funding available to assist households that are unable to pay rent or utilities. Two separate programs have been established: ERA1 provides up to $11 M under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which was enacted on December 27, 2020, and ERA2 provides up to $9M under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which was enacted on March 11, 2021. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) [$1,200,000] - Community Health Workers COVID Response and Resilient Communities $1.2 million — In this newly awarded project, Collier County Community Health Coalition (CCCHC) partners, which include the Collier County government, the Healthcare Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 19 Network, Department of Health Collier County, Partners In Health, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, and Mission Peniel, will support efforts to expand the Community Health Program in the county by training and mentoring Community Health Workers (CHW) to serve Extra Mile communities in Collier County and to integrate the CHW function into care teams to support COVID-19 response efforts in communities hit hardest and among populations that are at high risk for COVID-19 exposure, infection, and poor health outcomes. Collier County will continue to monitor funds use and impacts across Recovery Plan projects and the above programs to ensure that funds are utilized efficiently and effectively, without duplication. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 20 PROMOTING EQUITABLE OUTCOMES Collier County is committed to the "consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities."' through the development and implementation of funding and projects outlined in this Recovery Plan. Equity has served as a guiding principle for the development of the plan, influencing the goals identified, project design, geographic and needs -based provision of services, and intended program outcomes. Collier County will continue to monitor equitable outcomes throughout the funding horizon. A key aspect of project development has been a focus on Qualified Census Tracts (QCTs) and disproportionately disadvantaged residents. American Community Survey Data finds that of Collier County's population of 384,902, roughly 89.3% are white, 7.3% are black, 1.6% are Asian, and 28.6% are Hispanic. 73.3% of housing is owner -occupied, 85.2% of the population has access to broadband, the Median household income is $76,415, and 9.4% of persons are in poverty4. While the poverty rate is comparatively low countywide, areas of more concentrated poverty exist in East Naples, Immokalee, and in the Southwest part of the County. Lower income communities in Collier also display higher social vulnerability scores, as defined by the Center for Disease Control's Social Vulnerability Index (SVI). Variables such as poverty, lack of transportation access, and more crowded housing can figure into a higher SVI score, indicating that these communities may face more challenges during recovery'. QCTs, distributions of household income, as well as CDC's social vulnerability, along with geography -specific projects, are shown in the following maps. Qualified Census Tracts A Qualified Census Tract (QCT) means, "any census tract which is designated by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and, for the most recent year for which census data are available on household income in such tract, either in which 50 percent or more of the households have an income which is less than 60 percent of the area median gross income for such year or which has a poverty rate of at least 25 percent." There are 11 QCTs in Collier, including: 7.00, 104.10, 104.20, 106.01, 107.01, 111.03, 112.04, 112.05, 113.01, 113.02, and 114.001. Projects in this plan that focus on housing, food programs, education, and health and wellness target disproportionately disadvantaged persons and QCTs. In addition, several location - based programs and services have been identified in the plan as predominately serving QCTs. Many of the projects serve equitable ends (based on higher need), through a county -wide approach. However, projects CC4.1-4.4 target disproportionately impacted beneficiary populations.

Food assistance, education, medical services, and public health activities are targeted to populations where low income is endemic, unemployment is higher than the county average, access to education continues to pose challenges, and co -morbidities to respiratory health continue to exacerbate health outcomes. The following goals have been identified, aligning with funding areas prioritized by the County. Public Health Goal (EC-1) Target residents in QCTs for access to personal protective equipment and other public health services. Negative Economic Impacts (EC-2) Target residents in QCTs for access to Food Programs, Rent, Mortgage, and Utility Aid, and Other Economic Support. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 24 Awareness Awareness of projects and services funded will be high, given the entities delivering new food, rent, mortgage, mental health services, education, and health services are trusted and established. With partners such as the Collier County Community Foundation, Collier County Libraries, and County Communications, awareness of programs will be transmitted to disadvantaged populations currently served by other funding and programs, and via a host of social media options, including email and Facebook notifications. Access and Distribution The distribution of these programs, and access to them, will predominantly serve low- and moderate -income individuals and families as well as disproportionately disadvantaged populations and groups. Whether through implementation within QCTs or based on identified pandemic impacts to Treasury -identified presumed -eligible beneficiary populations, these programs will address disparities such as wealth and education that exacerbated pandemic impacts. Outcomes Given the above goals, awareness, and distribution of projects, intended outcomes are to address hardships that were unevenly shared during the pandemic. Predominantly lower income persons with less food security, lower access to public health services, and early education will be the recipients, which is aimed at closing gaps in health, food security, and education. Many of the outcomes described above under Key Outcome Goals recognize that residents who have experienced disparities leading to lower income, healthcare, and education are the focus populations of most project interventions. Projects CC 1.1-1.6 (Rental Assistance, Mental Health, Housing, and Public Health Services, Food Security, and Housing Navigators), and CC 4.1-4.5 (Education, Food Assistance, Affordable Housing, and Medical Care) were designed to serve residents of historically underserved, QCT, and/or disproportionately disadvantaged communities.

From this, projects have been tailored to serve as many of these areas as possible. Project CC 3.6, Evaluation and Data Analysis, subrecipient agreements, and memorandums of understanding will further define equity -responsive KPIs. Future annual reports will provide qualitative and quantitative updates, coordinated through project CC 3.6, Evaluation and Data Analysis, on how projects and approaches have achieved or promoted equitable outcomes or goals. The "Evidence Base and Impact Evaluation" Team will coordinate with sub -recipients to further build out KPIs and identify service distribution to low income and disproportionately disadvantaged communities. The County may work with the Evaluation Team to elaborate existing Key Outcome and Equity Goals and identify programmatic changes based on data gathered during the project horizon. 2022 In light of final rule guidance, the County is emphasizing services to and data collection upon impacted and disproportionately impacted beneficiaries. This includes persons of low to moderate income, persons experiencing housing or food insecurity, persons experiencing unemployment, recipients of certain federal benefits, inhabitants of Qualified Census tracts, and students who lost access to in -person instruction for a significant amount of time. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 31 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 2021 The initial Collier County Recovery Plan was developed with significant input from partners and the public. The Community Engagement process began with partner/expert project creation. Proposal worksheets were developed and sent to partners across government and nonprofit sectors, including libraries, museums, and University Extension offices. The proposals developed by partner organizations supported public health response, economic impact responses, and services to disproportionately impacted communities. The initial set of ideas were vetted through the County Commission. Subsequently, a public survey was disseminated to determine if the programs proposed in the Recovery Plan would support the needs of the community, and final tweaks were then made. The figure below shows the steps followed in the Collier County engagement process. At the partner/expert phase Collier County staff met with the Community Foundation of Collier County, The Affordable Housing Advisory Committee, Collier County Health Department, and the Community Mental Health Agency. These meetings, conducted in mid-2021, gave rise to the initial projects which were reviewed by the Commission. Collier County developed its first plan proposal in late Spring, which was shared with the public through its County Commission meeting schedule and noticing protocols. The plan was discussed by the Commission Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 32 was made available for public comment, and a draft final version was approved at the June 22, 2021, Board of County Commissioners Board Meeting'. To help raise awareness toward building the final Recovery Plan, a public input survey, website, and a one - page summary were crafted and deployed. The one -page summary and associated social media postings were duplicated in Spanish to disseminate information to the significant Hispanic population living within Collier County. Email outreach was sent to over 1,000 recipients through County and Community Foundation channels and highlighted in Collier County Facebook posts. The below figure shows the distribution of stakeholders who were asked to provide feedback.

In addition to general perception of the programs, respondents were invited to give open-ended input on public health, economic assistance, community services, essential workers, and infrastructure project preferences. Many of the responses reflect variations on projects as described within the plan, highlighting the importance of mental health and grief services (mentioned over 50 times), food assistance (35 mentions), services to children including education (31 mentions) and childcare (21 mentions), broadband access (22 mentions), training (20 mentions), and additional healthcare (17 mentions). Given the commitment to monitoring and evaluation during the plan horizon, evaluators can return to survey responses for complementary programs should the need arise. Building Capacity of Community Organizations Implementation of Collier County projects will add capacity to local community organizations providing services to communities of color, low incomes, and limited English proficiency. This includes Collier Libraries in QCTs, Collier Museums in QCTs, and University and non-profit partners directly serving these areas. Engagement will continue beyond plan creation, through implementation, and represent a hallmark of Collier ARP funding. Next Steps 2021 Collier County Communications will push messaging and information out to the full community. The County Communications and Customer Relations Division is committed to providing accurate, timely and useful information through a multimedia approach.

Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 35 2022 Since the inaugural plan, a significant amount of evolution has occurred. The release of the Final Rule and associated guidance led to project review and necessary adjustments. Per public input to the 2021 survey, however, projects still align with stated preferences. Mental health and grief services are still strongly supported; food assistance now contains the Community Foundation, OF Extension, and Collier Museums projects; education is supplied by the Library COLE and Museum projects; training for businesses through the Business Resilience grants; and additional healthcare through the EMS projects, PPE, PLAN, and Meals of Hope projects. Next Steps 2022 Collier County and partners initiate project specific messaging — for example, CC 1.1 Affordable Housing Grants — as projects are on -lined. The County continues to engage residents, businesses, and constituents via interaction at all levels. New project proposals are fielded on a monthly basis and are evaluated according to need, allowability under SLFRF guidelines, and funding availability. Continued engagement of area nonprofits will be a feature of the full project horizon. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 36 LABOR PRACTICES Collier County utilizes strong labor standards to promote effective and efficient delivery of projects while also supporting economic recovery through strong employment opportunities. The Board of County Commissioners has set a tone for inclusive, competitive labor practices for all employees and contractors. The following paragraphs discuss Collier Human Resources policies and Procurement Services Division values that enable fair labor practices. It is the continuing policy of Collier County Board of County Commissioners to ensure that all Human Resources policies and practices are administered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, physical or mental handicap, or marital status.' All Human Resources practices, including compensation, benefits, discipline, safety, as well as social and recreational activities are administered and conducted in compliance with State and Federal law. All recruitment, selection, placement, promotion, transfer, training, and reduction in force decisions are based solely on the candidates'/employees' job -related qualifications and abilities. Outreach programs may be utilized to recruit, hire, and ensure advancement of qualified minority group members, women, disabled individuals, and veterans. Collier County Government takes steps as necessary to ensure that the work environment is free of unlawful discrimination or harassment. On an annual basis, the County reviews its Human Resources procedures and strives to ensure that its supervisors and managers adhere to its commitment to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) principles. Collier County Government encourages employees who have EEO -related questions, comments, or complaints to discuss them with their supervisor, department director, administrator, or a representative from the Human Resources department. Employees are also encouraged to utilize the Commitment to Fair Treatment Procedure. Additionally, Collier County Government refers applicants and employees to the Florida Commission on Human Relations (FCHR), established in 1969 with the intent of protection against unlawful discrimination. The FCHR assists in claims of wrongdoing, including discrimination, and provides a means for effectively resolving problems should they arise'.

In addition to evidence presented here and by subrecipients, project CC 3.5 will bring in the services of an Evidence Base and Impact Evaluation team to coordinate activities in these areas. The treasury defines evidence -based projects as "interventions with strong or moderate evidence": Strong evidence means the evidence base that can support causal conclusions for the specific program proposed by the applicant with the highest level of confidence, as backed by one or more well -designed and well -implemented experimental study conducted on the proposed program with positive findings on one or more intended outcomes. Moderate evidence means that there is a reasonably developed evidence base that can support causal conclusions. It consists of one or more quasi -experimental studies with positive findings on one or more intended outcomes or two or more non -experimental studies with positive findings on one or more intended outcomes."

Revenue -reducing Covered Changes 1 $0.00 See Section C(11) on page 33 of the Reporting Guidance for additional information. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 88 SUMMARY AND NEXT STEPS 2021 This plan represents the first phase in a multi -year process of reporting and plan implementation. Through it, Collier County has created a roadmap for utilizing the $74,762,701 awarded by the Treasury to spur recovery in an efficient, effective, and equitable fashion. As mentioned in the Executive Summary, six more iterations of this plan — delivered as an Annual Report — will be created between August 31, 2021, and March 31, 2027. Per Treasury Guidance for States, U.S. territories, metropolitan cities and counties with populations exceeding 250,000 residents, Collier County will also be required to submit a one-time Interim Report on August 31, 2021, and a Project and Expenditure Reports starting October 31, 2021, and then on a quarterly basis until 2027. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic brought about an unprecedented leap — and precipitous drop — in Collier County unemployment, it is likely that recovery needs will evolve over the five-year project horizon. Additionally, as the County collaborates with implementation partners, projects and KPIs will be further defined to best express organizational capacities and the needs of populations served. As such, Expenditure Categories, Projects, KPIs, and Outcomes are likely to continue to change in the months and years to come, which this plan has emphasized throughout. As recommended in Treasury Guidance, the County will notify Treasury of substantial updates to the plan in months and years to come. At this point, next steps will consist of finalizing subrecipient agreements and memorandums of understanding with all implementation partners. The County will also work with administration partners to build out the software data capture, project management, and reporting systems that underpin successful project deployment. Staff will work to create policies and procedures for County grant and assistance programs, targeting those disproportionately disadvantaged by the pandemic. An evaluation team will also begin "deep dive" activities to define impact evaluation and additional evidence bases where needed. Plan Amendments Recognizing that Expenditure Category uses and Projects will evolve over time, amendments to the plan are anticipated. Amendments can be processed on a continual basis throughout the year and will be shown on an Amendment Log at the beginning of the document. The Amendment Log will note amendment number, date, content of amendment, level of approval that has approved the content, and affected pages. All plan amendments will be routed to the County Manager for approval. For amendments involving re- allocations of over $50,000, recommendation to accept updates via memorandum or agenda material will be provided to the Board. All amendments will be carried out in accordance with existing Collier County Grants and Procurement policies and procedures. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 89 This plan will be posted on a public -facing website for the entirety of project activities (until 2027). For questions, please contact the Collier County Community and Human Services Division at (239) 252-2273. 2022 Collier County responded to numerous changes between submission of the 2021 Recovery Plan, the amended 2021 plan submitted to Treasury (Amendment 5), and the 2022 edition (Amendment 6). Five projects were added and five removed, in step with changing pandemic needs and local priorities. This included use of the Revenue Replacement Expenditure Category, removal of infrastructure projects, and additions of an affordable housing project and EMS capital expenditure project. Further, many of the County's centerpiece equity projects were re -crafted to better fit within Final Rule expenditure categories, and reasonable and proportional responses to identified impacts or impacted/disproportionately impacted populations. Subrecipient agreements experienced continual adaptation during this timeframe. As Treasury guidance changed, so too did the corresponding agreements the County had in development. Key Performance Indicators were improved and evidence bases were updated. This led to delays in project roll -outs; ultimately a good development rather than to have projects in defunct Expenditure Categories or lacking justification, such as the reasonable and proportional response. Significant progress has been made pertaining to grant management software and oversight. Florida Gulf Coast University will continue to assist with project monitoring & evaluation, which may also impact projects and expenditure categories utilized in years to come.

Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 103 • The Collier County Community Foundation expenditures supported food distribution directly to five food pantries (Catholic Charities, Our Daily Bread, Meals of Hope, St. Matthews House, and Naples Senior Center) and indirectly to 35 pantries via partnerships with two food banks (Harry Chapin and Midwest Food Bank). Output KPI #2 Support a minimum of 10,000 households in Collier County with food security goods and services, with demographic and OCT info for populations served. The Collier County Community Foundation expenditures supported 673,720 beneficiaries. The number of beneficiaries supported corresponds to 15,650 UNDUPLICATED household's indicative of meeting the output KPI of 10,000 households supported. Additionally, 75% pantries are located in QCTs Outcome KPIs Outcome KPI #1 75% of distributed food packages will include nutrition and/or healthy diet information. • The Collier County Community Foundation responded to the requirement of nutrition and/or diet information imposed beginning with the imposition in July 2021. Subsequently, 100% of distributed food packages included the information. As an aggregate, KPI was met. Outcome KPI #2 Children ages 18 or younger will be at least 25% beneficiaries of all food pantry distributions. • The Collier County Community Foundation supported food distribution to 673,720 beneficiaries. The household demographic extrapolated from beneficiaries is highly indicative that at least 25% of the beneficiaries were children aged 18 or younger. Outcome KPI #3 At least 40% of funds expended for food distribution will be in a Collier OCT. • The Collier County Community Foundation expenditure supporting food distribution to the food banks and pantries in Collier County allowed significant distribution within QCTs, such that 79% of the funds expended for food distribution was in a Collier OCT. SWOT Analysis Progress is reported based on a SWOT Analysis conducted in partnership with food banks and pantries included in the funding period. The progress presented herein is based on qualitative assessments derived from banks and pantries as well as analysis of aggregated quantitative data STRENGTHS: • Project outcomes 2 and 3 were met by individual banks and/or pantries and by consequence as an aggregate. • Over 1.3 million pounds of food was distributed by Harry Chapin Food Bank alone, allowing the consortium to meet the food needs of a record -setting number of consumers during this time. This is only the amount of food Harry Chapin distributed, the amount in total was much greater but we did not collect that info. The additional food was distributed during regularly scheduled pantry services or newly added mobile pantries, which made it easier to serve low-income residents. • Individual pantries met or exceeded project outcomes in amount of food delivered, households served, and distribution across the lifespan. Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 104 • The Community Foundation was able to navigate the storage issue through additional partnerships for nearly a full year. WEAKNESSES (IMPEDIMENTS): The drive -up operations that made it safe also meant limited contact with the consumers thereby making it more difficult to collect statistics, stories, distributing information, etc. Lack of storage was initially a major issue. Limited staff and resources to meet the increased demand. OPPORTUNITIES (LESSONS LEARNED • The food assistance programs emphasize nutritional foods such as produce, dairy, and proteins. Each partner is encouraged to distribute nutritional items at their distributions while also providing choice to clients when possible. • Through a connection made by the Community Foundation, St. Matthew's House was able to use Cheney Bros donated warehouse space on a long-term basis, and Meals of Hope was able to use warehouse space at Stan's Coffee The challenges and impediments identified will allow for better preparedness for next pandemic or disaster as well as enhanced capacity to focus on developing a system to more easily collect demographic information and statistics using a drive -by style of food delivery. THREATS (CHALLENGES due to IMPEDIMENTS) • Reduced availability of food from the usual sources. Food price increases due to inflation. Lack of storage initially was a major issue. • Continued increase in number of consumers seeking food. • Beyond food provisions, hot meals were served to seniors during lunch. COVID safety protocol prevented provision of hot lunches at Naples Senior Center, limiting food security services.

STRENGTHS: PLAN has a long history of linking Collier County residents in need of health care services with pro bono health care providers and services. WEAKNESSES (IMPEDIMENTS) Collier County, Florida 2022 Recovery Plan Performance Report 140 PLAN Telecommunication network is reported to be overloaded with messages as it is a one tele mailbox messaging system that is dependent on a staff member retrieving all messages regardless of the nature of the inquiry, and which contributes to intermittent delays in retrieval and response. In addition, PLAN is always recruiting for additional pro bono providers due to the regular rotation of new and existing providers from the pro bono list which can contribute to lengthening the time for a patient to receive the referral and coordination of services. OPPORTUNITIES (LESSONS LEARNEDt No Opportunities have been identified at this time THREATS (CHALLENGES due to IMPEDIMENTS) Service delays for patients can result in diagnoses and treatments that may have been more effective earlier in the trajectory of the disease process. It has been noted in the literature that delays in service due to COVID-19 demands for care, provider office closures for periods of time, unavailability of beds for elective surgeries, and fear expressed by patients to seek care in an environment that may contribute to COVID exposure have resulted in delayed care.
