recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council amend the FY25 Special Revenues Funds Budget to appropriate the amount not to exceed $198,662 to close-out COVID-19 FEMA Reimbursement Grant Funds. These funds cover the remaining close-out costs for vaccines, equipment, and testing sites that are 100% reimbursed by FEMA for the period ending June 30, 2024.

Summary Background:
In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency, the City of Hyattsville utilized city employees, materials, and contracts and/or MOUs/mutual aid agreements to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to the public. The City of Hyattsville directly operated a vaccination site launched in February 2021 and a testing site that launched in June 2020. The site was operated as a partnership between Hyattsville, Luminis Health, the Prince George's County Health Department, and First United Methodist Church of Hyattsville. These entities in addition to the Hyattsville Community Development Corporation provided staffing, facilities, equipment, supplies, communications, security, and other resources needed to reduce the COVID-19 threat. The city coordinated with FEMA to obtain reimbursement for the testing site, vaccination clinic facilities, medical teams, and additional support provided to the Hyattsville community. These activities are reimbursed 100% by FEMA. The FEMA COVID-19 Reimbursement Grant total of $198,662 closes out COVID related expenses up through June 30, 2024.
Next Steps:
Amend the FY25 Special Revenue Funds Budget and appropriate an amount not to exceed $198,662 to cover the remaining COVID-19 close-out costs for vaccines, equipment, and testing sites.
Fiscal Impact:
Increase the FY25 Special Revenues Funds Budget by $198,662.
