RESPONSE NEEDED: GMA Collects Cities’ Expense Info, Deadline This Friday
Through the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund, the state of Georgia received a total of just over $4 billion which will go to the state, four counties (Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett) and the city of Atlanta. As the state considers a joint request from ACCG and GMA to share in the state’s allocation of CARES Act funds, GMA is calling on our member cities for your help to obtain an estimate of actual expenses cities have incurred to date, and whether any cities are estimating potential future COVID-19-related expenditures through December 31, 2020.
Please complete the GMA COVID-19 Expenses survey ASAP. The survey deadline is this Friday, May 8, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.
To assist you in determining expenditure eligibility, please refer to the U.S. Treasury Department guidelines for six categories where funds may be spent on page 2 and 3 of this April 22 FAQ, along with additional guidance from the Treasury’s May 4 FAQ. Contact Becky Taylor at 404-402-6110 or Holger Loewendorf at 678-686-6246 for more information.
