Of that federal pandemic aid, the county's biggest expenditures were more than $800 million for testing, tracking and vaccinations and more than $300 million in rental assistance.
Businesses receiving grant assistance had to provide a signed form with proof of their expenses, including an invoice and record of payment, Workman said. As of January, about three-quarters of grant recipients had submitted the required documentation. County officials are seeking those records from businesses that haven’t submitted them and will seek repayment from any that don’t comply.
In retrospect, Fletcher said, he believes even more should have been spent to help small business owners weather the pandemic. “I wish we had funding so that any business affected by a public health closures could be completely made whole,” Fletcher said. “I wish it was more targeted.”County numbers show another $30 million of federal aid was dedicated childcare subsidies to care providers and other essential workers.
As the county winds down its pandemic spending, observers are watching to see which if any of the emergency expenditures continue, and how they will be incorporated into future budgets.
