UMongameli weBhunga uBlaine Griffin uthe ibhunga kunye nolawulo basebenza kwishedyuli yeendibano zekomiti kuso sonke isindululo, esibandakanya i-50 yezigidi zeedola zokwakha kunye nokuvuselela izindlu.
"Ndicinga ukuba sinenkqubo elungileyo yokuhamba ngokukhawuleza okanye ngokukhawuleza kwezi dollar, kodwa siqinisekile ukuba sinolawulo olubanzi," utshilo uGriffin.
Ibhunga ngoMvulo ebusuku liphumeze malunga ne-2.7 yezigidi zeedola ukunika abasebenzi bemfundo yabantwana abasaqalayo ukusayina kunye neebhonasi zokugcina. Enye i-1.9 yezigidi zeedola iya kunceda iintsapho ukuba zihlawulele ukukhathalela abantwana. Indawo yokuQala engenzi nzuzo iya kulawula zombini iinkqubo.
Inkxaso-mali iya kuxhasa i-$ 500 yokusayina iibhonasi kubantu abayi-500 abaqalayo okanye ababuyela emsebenzini kwintsimi yemfundo yokuqala. Iibhonasi zokugcina ze-250 yeedola ziya kufumaneka kubantu abangama-5,000 abasebenza kwiinkqubo zononophelo lwabantwana ezinelayisensi eCleveland.

IBhunga lisungule inkqubo ngo-2019 kunye no-2020 kwaye ibekwe $500,000 inkonzo kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali isixeko 2022.
Ngaphandle kwenkcitho yeenkonzo zentlalontle, ibhunga liphumeze i-2.3 yezigidi zeerandi ukufaka iikhamera zedeshibhodi kwiinqanawa zamapolisa. Ikomiti yokhuseleko yeBhunga iya kubamba ukuva ngoSeptemba 28 malunga nesiphakamiso sokuchitha inkxaso-mali ye-ARPA kwi-ShotSpotter yokufumanisa iteknoloji yokudubula, utshilo usihlalo wekomiti uMichael Polensek.
Amagosa olawulo e-Bibb anikezele ngesindululo se-102.5 yezigidi zeedola kwibhunga ekupheleni kuka-Agasti, emva kwesibhengezo sikaJuni se I-53 yezigidi zeerandi isicwangciso semali ye-ARPA edadadiswa nguGriffin kunye nebhunga oko kwakhona kugxininise kwiinkqubo zezindlu.
Isindululo esibekwe ngo-Agasti senza isinye kwisithathu se-310 yezigidi zeedola kwimali ye-ARPA eseleyo ukuba yabiwe, ngokutsho kwengxelo yesixeko. Imithetho ye-Federal ifuna ukuba i-Cleveland inikezele yonke imali yayo ye-ARPA ngo-2024. Imali kufuneka isetyenziswe ngokupheleleyo ngo-2026.
Ngexesha lodliwano-ndlebe malunga nenkcitho ye-ARPA emva kwemini ngoMvulo, uCeba weWadi 16 uBrian Kazy wabuza abalawuli ukuba bazakuqinisekisa njani na ukuba abaxhamli bayayigqiba imali yabo ngexesha elibekiweyo.
“Kunini apho sinokuthi, ‘Heyi, kufuneka siyitsale le mali siyibuyisele kwenye indawo okanye enye into?’” wabuza uKazy. "Ndithetha ukuba, sinefestile emfutshane apha."
UMlawuli wezeMali u-Ahmed Abonamah uthe isixeko sibhala amagatya kwizivumelwano zaso nabaxhamli ezifuna ukuba baxele imali yabo kumagosa esixeko. Isixeko siya kuba nakho ukubuyisela imali kwimibutho engachithi iidola ze-ARPA ngokukhawuleza ngokwaneleyo, utshilo.
Isixeko siphinde saqesha inkampani yomthetho iBricker kunye ne-Eckler ukuba ihlole izindululo zenkcitho ye-ARPA ukuqinisekisa ukuba ziyahambelana nezikhokelo zomdibaniso.
