June 04, 2021 FY22 ICS and Pandemic-Related Funding When the COVID-19 pandemic began in the United States in March 2020, the City of Somerville quickly shifted into emergency response mode, creating a robust virtual Incident Command System (“ICS”) that involved over 150 staff shifting from their typical jobs to take on additional emergency management responsibilities. Over the last year, the work of the ICS included: Distributed food to more than 7,400 households through the Emergency Food Pantry when it was in operation. From July 1st, 2020 through May 2021, the City worked with Project SOUP to make 2,570 home deliveries and serve 6,900 individuals, including households and individuals who receive regular food deliveries as well as one-time households in quarantine. Provided multilingual support to over 1,000 families, ensuring they had access to food resources, rental assistance, financial relief funds, utility assistance, and access to a vaccine appointment through the Immigrant Services Unit. Provided advanced technical assistance to dozens of businesses and 385 COVID relief loans totaling over $4 million in financial assistance. Provided $2.44 million in rental assistance to families. Held multiple virtual vaccine Q&A sessions in five languages, with record-breaking meeting attendance ranging from 250 to 2,300 per session. Hosted/staffed 23 flu and 62 COVID-19 vaccine clinics across the community. Created more than 180 pages of COVID-19 website content, contributing to a 72% annual increase in website traffic compared to pre-pandemic usage. Established a robust assurance testing for the Somerville Public School system, which currently tests over 4,200 students and staff each week. With the full return of students, the assurance testing program contributed to the positivity rate not surpassing 0.20%. Coordinated 10,000 COVID tests through our community testing program, in collaboration with the Cambridge Health Alliance, Communicated the results of over 22,000 COVID test results to residents and provided guidance on quarantine and isolation for those who were positive through the community and school testing program. Established and implemented local contact tracing with the capacity to make referrals to provide basic needs for residents in isolation and quarantine when needed. The program investigated and traced 767 cases and connected 103 residents to social services. Established health and safety protocols for City and community operations and provided guidance to businesses, organizations, and individuals seeking to run a business or activity or hold an event. As part of this effort, the Inspectional Services Department reviewed over 1,200 Health and Safety Plans. Secured a substantial PPE cache to safeguard our community against COVID-19 through multiple surges. Coordinated regional meetings for mayors and city managers with experts and state officials. Each turn in the ever-changing course of the pandemic and subsequent public policies meant new responsibilities for staff. These responsibilities did not necessarily displace pre-existing duties, nor give way to proportional decreases in public health response or economic recovery efforts. Between infection waves, public health response efforts grew to include economic recovery even as preparations were underway for a potential second surge and the subsequent vaccine roll-out campaign. Although employees are largely working remotely, staff output never ceased. Instead, staff have had to learn and adapt to new, virtual systems. Staff developed and implemented new processes to conduct core, day-to-day business and provide services to the best of their abilities and have refined these processes as the situation on the ground has changed. COVID-19 Response Update COVID-19 Response Update City of Somerville FY22 Budget City of Somerville FY22 Budget
June 04, 2021 Now that new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are declining and over 60% of all Somerville residents have been vaccinated, the ICS is continuing to evolve with these changes and is preparing to wind down as the City transitions from emergency response to recovery. The City’s ICS work has the following goal and objectives: Goal: Continue to address equitable access to services and information until incident demobilization Objective 1: Maintain comprehensive support of vaccination access Objective 2: Continue to support public health response Objective 3: Provide for on-going, multi-lingual external communications Objective 4: Plan for and support the reopening of City business, schools and buildings as public health data and the evolving science allows Objective 5: Begin to transition support from an ICS response into more regular channels and recovery efforts The pandemic forced municipalities to immediately pivot from their standard operations to address a wide range of new challenges. Cities and towns now had to contend with the novel coronavirus and constantly evolving restrictions from both federal and state agencies, in addition to managing a completely unique financial situation: incurring new and necessary costs that had not previously been appropriated or planned for, to implement strategies that would keep the public safe and mitigate the spread of the virus. The initial funding available to help cities and towns recover these costs was FEMA’s Public Assistance (PA) Program, which has historically supported disaster recovery costs resulting from hurricanes, tropical storms, snow storms, and the like. The CARES Act, passed by Congress in late March 2020, provided additional monetary support for local governments, and covered a wider range of expense categories than the limited FEMA PA program, which focuses on funding “emergency protective measures'' incurred by local governments. The CARES Act’s Coronavirus Relief Fund Municipal Program (CvRF- MP) gave cities and towns the ability to recover dollars spent on cost categories not allowable by FEMA, such as increased pandemic-related elections costs and short-term rental assistance programs. The third significant source of funding for local governments was established by the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), signed into law on March 11, 2021. ARPA’s Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CLFRF) offer the greatest flexibility in terms of usage of the three mentioned here, as these dollars can be used for not only urgent COVID-19 response efforts but also for systemic public health and economic challenges that have led to an inequitable pandemic impact on certain populations, in addition to lost public sector revenue and economic stabilization for households and businesses. As of May 27, Somerville has received $38,605,150 from the FEMA PA Program, CvRF-MP, and ARPA CLFRF combined. Here is additional detail about these three funding sources, the total amounts allocated to Somerville, how these funds have been or can be spent, and additional pandemic-related funding notes. 1. FEMA Public Assistance (PA) Program: FEMA PA is a federally administered reimbursement program, funding expenditures for work that is a direct result of the COVID-19 emergency. Initially, localities were responsible for 25% of approved costs; however, on January 21, 2021, a presidential memo was signed to increase the federal reimbursement rate from 75% of approved costs to 100% of approved costs, retroactive to the beginning of the pandemic. The new presidential administration also revisited earlier guidance and granted allowability for select municipal- and school-related reopening costs, as long as they were incurred after January 20, 2021. Also, new phases of the national pandemic response have prompted additional guidance and clarification from FEMA, sometimes after costs have been incurred. For example, while Massachusetts’ most robust vaccination phase began in February, FEMA was still publishing vaccination documentation requirements for localities in April. Monitoring the changing status of cost eligibility has been challenging, but Somerville has consistently led in number of applications submitted to and funds obligated by FEMA/Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency (MEMA); as of May 27, Somerville was second, trailing only Boston, in Massachusetts’ cities with the most dollars obligated by FEMA, and third in the country for most obligations of cities of comparable size (population 70,000 to 100,000).
June 04, 2021 The FEMA PA and CARES Act Municipal Program were meant to work in tandem to some extent, prior to the announcement of the ARPA local funds, with FEMA PA supporting costs more clearly and directly linked to pandemic response and prevention, and CARES funding what might be considered risk mitigation or other secondary effects of the pandemic. Another difference between the FEMA PA and CARES Act Municipal Program is that while the CARES Act provided set allocations for municipalities, FEMA PA is an application program, with local entities submitting costs as they are incurred. To date, Somerville has submitted 27 “project worksheets”, or applications, to FEMA, seeking reimbursement of approximately $3 million. As of May 27, $563,543 had been awarded, and the bulk of project worksheets are still in the FEMA or MEMA queue for final review (both agencies conduct reviews of applicant submissions). Somerville has submitted the following expenses to the FEMA PA Program for reimbursement: PPE, including face masks and gloves, for public health and safety departments Cleaning and disinfecting materials, hand sanitizer, bleach wipes - purchases made at outset of pandemic, utilized by first responders responding to identified or suspected COVID-19 cases Increased communications needs, including costs for translation, signage, mailers, fliers, community outreach, and constituent response Staff time and overtime costs for increased public safety and health response Emergency management response and incident command support COVID-19 testing services 2. CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund - Municipal Program: The CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund - Municipal Program (CvRF-MP), administered by the Commonwealth’s Administration & Finance (A&F) Office on behalf of the U.S. Treasury, may only be used to cover costs that meet three statutory requirements: Are necessary expenditures incurred due to the public health emergency with respect to COVID–19; Were not accounted for in the budget most recently approved as of March 27, 2020 for the State or government; and Were incurred during the period that begins on March 1, 2020 and ends on December 31, 2021. Somerville’s allocation of CvRF-MP funds was $7.19 million; the full allocation was received in fall 2020, and the City is spending the funds according to a budget of planned expenditures. Funds must be expended by December 31, 2021. Overall, CvRF-MP dollars have had more flexibility than the FEMA PA program allowed for and were intended to help cities and towns cover expenditures where FEMA left off, with a few exceptions. A&F’s interpretation was based on a more conservative understanding of the Treasury guidance; therefore some cost categories, such as small business supports, were deemed ineligible in 2020 and the City was not able to respond to these clear needs in the community with CvRF-MP dollars and henceforth established funding in the City’s COVID Stabilization fund (see below). Somerville has or will be utilizing its CvRF-MP allocation for the following expense categories: PPE, including face masks and gloves, for school and city departments Cleaning and disinfecting materials, hand sanitizer, bleach wipes, used as preventive measures HVAC improvements and risk assessments in the school buildings Short-term rental support program, administered by Somerville Homeless Coalition Contact tracing staffing and consultant costs Certain social distancing measures, such as plexiglas or air scrubbers for use in public-facing City departments Increased Elections Department costs, incurred due to social distancing requirements and increased early voting Virtual out-of-school programming for youth
June 04, 2021 3. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds While the public health emergency may be nearing the end, cities and towns will be dealing with the impacts of COVID-19 on their communities and residents for some time to come; the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was passed in recognition of this and provides $350 billion to help state, local, tribal, and territorial governments turn the corner on both the health crisis and begin the process of economic recovery. Somerville will receive approximately $61.7 million as a direct recipient of ARPA Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CLFRF), plus additional funds from the Middlesex County allocation, offering us an unprecedented opportunity to meet both the immediate needs of our residents and businesses and also to address systemic and historic inequities to rebuild as a more resilient community. Funds must be obligated by the end of 2024, but can be spent through December 31, 2026. The City will be conducting extensive internal and external assessments to prioritize needs for allocated CLFRF dollars. The external assessment work has already begun, with a community outreach workplan, workshops, and more in development. At this point, the Treasury has released what they are calling “interim” guidance on how CLFRF dollars can be spent, and many government advisory groups and accounting and auditing firms assume there will be multiple rounds and iterations of Treasury guidance to come, based on experience with CvRF-MP funds. For now, the CLFRF interim guidance stipulates that funds can be spent on the following: To respond to the public health emergency or its negative economic impacts To respond to essential work with premium pay The provision of government services relating to the reduction in revenue To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure We are currently using this baseline guidance, along with other documents published by the Treasury regarding CLFRF usage, to fund the following categories of FY22 Program Improvement Requests submitted by city staff: Cybersecurity needs Mental health and social service supports Small business and other economic development supports Technology and digital literacy needs And others This infusion of funds truly represents a once-in-a-lifetime investment in Somerville and it is of the utmost importance to the administration that the community has a voice in determining usage of funds, while also ensuring projects and programs are developed in a transparent and unbiased manner. Somerville will work with consultants to both document the entire planning process and to ensure administration of CLFRF dollars is in compliance with all federal and state reporting requirements. 4. Other Funding Sources: The City of Somerville received other grant funds to help offset costs incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These include: Mass. Department of Public Health’s Local Efforts for Coronavirus funding for nurse staffing costs, PPE purchases, tent rentals, COVID risk signage and flyers, COVID contact tracing technical support, and more - $342,334 Dept of Justice Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding, used for first responder overtime costs - $54,438 Mass. Board of Library Commissioners, for virtual programming - $3,418 MAPC’s Emergency COVID-19 Taxicab, Livery, and Hackney Partnership Grant, for increased transportation costs for vulnerable populations, including seniors and individuals with disabilities - $121,800
June 04, 2021 Center for Tech and Civic Life’s COVID-19 Response Grant for Elections Departments, for increased elections expenses - $53,437 HUD’s Community Development Block Grant and Emergency Solutions Grant Programs, increases to annual allocations, and Shared Streets funding, for additional support to standard eligible programmatic expenses - $3,754,625 and $133,930, respectively COVID Stabilization Fund, appropriated by City Council to ensure sufficient funds were available for specific COVID- related purposes, including $5M for small business relief - $10,517,320 Somerville Public Schools’ various funding sources, including the ESSER I, II, and II funds, the School Reopening Grant, and the Remote Learning Technology Essentials Grant, which can be used for a variety of staffing, technology, and other needs - $12M These funds have been, and will continue to be, essential to the City as it works to address the health and safety needs of our community as well as support residents and businesses to weather the economic and social impacts of the pandemic. While our emergency efforts are winding down, we know that our recovery efforts will be needed for years to come. We will be working hand in hand with the community over the summer to determine how to most effectively utilize our CLFRF funds to strengthen our community and address historic and systemic inequities while also making funds immediately available for pressing needs such as housing assistance and business relief.

GOAL 2: Human Resources will focus on employee retention strategies throughout FY22. Attracting and hiring talent is only the start; creating an engaged workforce requires clear communication where individual contributions are recognized, professional development and skill-building is encouraged, enhanced benefits are offered, and a culture of respect and teamwork is a common goal.

June 04, 2021 Mission Statement The Department of Infrastructure and Asset Management (IAM), through Capital Projects for buildings and Engineering for utilities, and in close collaboration with DPW, OSPCD, and Water & Sewer, develops and implements a comprehensive plan to effectively maintain, modernize, and replace Somerville’s full range of horizontal and vertical infrastructure assets. While IAM seeks to optimize the City’s capital investments through technical evaluation of operations costs against capital improvements, the broader goal of the department is to establish and utilize evaluation criteria, in consultation with virtually every other City department, by which options are rated and projects are prioritized. IAM also seeks to identify and evaluate alternative forms of funding with the objective of minimizing overall costs to taxpayers and water and sewer ratepayers. Personal Services Changes Ordinary Maintenance Changes Personal Services are projected up 58% for FY22. Changes in salaries are due to negotiated collective bargaining agreements and merit increases based on annual performance reviews. The proposed budget includes a new non-union position, Senior Project Manager, which will be responsible for developing and maintaining the department’s asset management program. The proposed budget includes a transferred union position from DPW, Head Clerk, which will be responsible for clerical and administrative duties while assisting IAM, Capital Projects, and Engineering staff. Two positions have had their grade reclassified for FY22: Director of IAM and Construction Liaison & Compliance Manager. Ordinary Maintenance costs are projected up 142% for FY22. An increase to the Rental of Land Space line is due to a department program intended to lease vacant land to be used as lay-down area by contractors on City projects. The intent is to increase bidding competition on construction projects and decrease construction costs by providing a local staging area for contractors, attracting contractors that may not otherwise bid on City projects. An increase to the Police Detail line is due to expected details on various small projects. An increase to the Out of State Travel and Out of State Conferences lines is due to reinstating previous allowances to allow staff to attend out of state conferences. A decrease in the Dues and Membership line and increase in the Reimbursement of Licenses line is due to balancing expected spending on related staff professional development and licensure. FY22 Goals & Measures of Progress GOAL 1: Develop a computer-based system for asset management and capital planning that enables IAM to prioritize capital expenditures and maintenance activities using a transparent, data-driven decision making framework. Create a road map for achieving necessary milestones, which include: digitizing record information, standardizing asset data, completing condition assessments, integrating the City’s customer engagement 311 system, developing a work Infrastructure & Asset Management Infrastructure & Asset Management City of Somerville FY22 Budget City of Somerville FY22 Budget

The Cherry Sheet is a form showing all state and county charges assessed against the City, as certified by the State Director of Accounts. The figures shown here are based on the latest version of the FY21 Cherry Sheet. RETIRED EMPLOYEE HEALTH INSURANCE This item is intended to reimburse the state for the costs of providing a health insurance plan for governmental retirees who were pensioned prior to the implementation of Chapter 32B by their local governmental unit. Chapter 32B enabled municipalities to establish a mechanism for group insurance for retirees. Each participating municipality is assessed for the governmental share of health insurance premiums paid on behalf of its retirees by the state. The state pays 90 percent of the total premium; the retiree’s co-payment is 10 percent of the total premium as well as full payment for catastrophic illness coverage. A proportionate share of administrative expenses is also assessed to each municipality. AIR POLLUTION CONTROL The Department of Environmental Protection supervises six districts statewide. The Metropolitan Boston Control District, of which Somerville is a member, has a staff of 35 pollution inspectors. The Commission is empowered through the Office of the Governor and has a mandate to control air pollution through the enforcement of the Metropolitan Boston Air Pollution Control Acts. METROPOLITAN AREA PLANNING COUNCIL Assessments are made to municipalities to finance the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), which serves 101 communities. The MAPC promotes urban planning, regional collaboration and responds to common urban problems of member communities. MBTA The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) provides bus/minibus, trackless trolley and underground subway transportation across the city. The MBTA is composed of 175 communities: the 14 original member communities of the Metropolitan Transit Authority and 161 additional communities that are receiving MBTA service. The MBTA is required to assess each community‘s share of the overall assessment. All communities associated with the Authority must contribute to the MBTA State and Local Assistance Fund an amount not less than $136,026,868. Beginning in FY07, this amount is adjusted each July 1 by the rate of inflation unless the total assessment exceeds 102.5 percent of the previous year‘s assessment. An individual community’s assessment is determined based on the following formula: each community‘s assessment shall equal its weighted share of the total population of the 175 communities in the MBTA. Chapter 161A of the Acts of 2000, which increased the number of communities in the MBTA from 78 to 175, also determined the share for each community in conjunction with the 2000 U.S. Census. A portion of the total MBTA assessment supports the Boston District Commission (the District), which is responsible for bonds issued by the Transportation Authority prior to the creation of the Metropolitan Transit Authority in 1947. This assessment pays for administrative costs incurred by the District and is charged to the 14 cities and towns of the Boston Metropolitan District in proportion to their share of the District’s total equalized valuation. The MBTA covers the District‘s debt service costs. State Assessments State Assessments City of Somerville FY22 Budget City of Somerville FY22 Budget
REGISTRY OF MOTOR VEHICLES-HOLD PROGRAM Since February 1985, the Parking Violations Bureau has implemented a provision of Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 90, which enables the City to request that the state Registry of Motor Vehicles not renew the license and registration of an operator/owner of a motor vehicle who has two or more outstanding parking tickets. This provision is imposed after the motorist has failed to pay the parking tickets and had an opportunity for a hearing. This program has resulted in a significant decrease in the number of delinquent State Assessments payments. EDUCATION The primary component of this allocation is the Charter School Sending Tuition assessment which is the amount charged for Somerville students who attend charter schools. The amount is based on the number of students multiplied by the tuition rate of the charter school as calculated by the state. The other assessments contained in this allotment are for grandfathered costs for special education services (Chapter 766 of the Acts of 1972) provided by other districts for students who are state wards who reside in Somerville and school choice tuition charges (Chapter 71 of the Acts of 1993), which are for Somerville residents attending another school district under school choice.

This budget organization provides a centralized cost center for several employee and retiree benefits. HEALTH INSURANCE The City participates in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Group Insurance Commission (GIC). The GIC offers a number of health maintenance organization(HMO), preferred provider (PPO), and indemnity health plan options to employees and retirees delivered through Tufts Health Plan, Harvard Pilgrim, and Unicare. Beginning in FY16, the City funds 80% of the premium costs for HMO and PPO plans and 75% of the premium costs for indemnity plans; the subscribers contribute 20% and 25% respectively. The budgetary item is the City’s share of health insurance costs and does not represent the full cost of health insurance. The full cost of health insurance is financed through a combination of city appropriations, employee and retiree contributions, and grant reimbursements. In FY22, the City will use all of these sources to meet its obligation to fund health insurance. MEDICARE PAYROLL TAX Pursuant to federal law, all employees hired after April 1, 1986 are subject to a 1.45% payroll tax to pay for future Medicare coverage. The City is obligated to match this 1.45% payment. LIFE INSURANCE Employees can elect to enroll in a $5,000 life insurance policy offered through Boston Mutual Life Insurance where the City contributes half the cost of the premium. Additional life insurance can be purchased at the employees’ expense.

The Somerville Retirement System is one of 105 contributory retirement systems for public employees in Massachusetts. A Retirement Board governs each system, and all boards, although operating independently, are bound together under one Retirement Law, Chapter 32 of the Massachusetts General Laws. Chapter 32 establishes benefits, contribution requirements, and an accounting and funds structure for all systems. The Somerville Retirement Board is the Administrator of the Somerville Retirement System. The Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission (PERAC) is the state regulatory authority that oversees all retirement systems in the Commonwealth. PERAC is required by Chapter 32 to oversee an actuarial valuation of each retirement system every three years. Actuarial funding determines the annual cost to fund a retirement system’s cost of benefits that accrue during the current year (normal cost) as well as the costs associated with any past service liability (unfunded actuarial accrued liability). The funding schedule derived from the actuarial valuation determines the series of payments to pay the annual normal cost as well as to amortize the unfunded accrued liability over a period of years. In accordance with Chapter 32, each retirement system’s unfunded accrued liability must be fully paid off by 2040. The City is required to pay into the Retirement System the actuarially determined contribution. The budgeted appropriation is the actuarially determined contribution for FY22. The Non-Contributory Pension Appropriation funds the pension costs for city retirees predating the adoption of Chapter 32 and for special situations requiring home-rule exemption from Chapter 32.
