<br />9A <br />Page 20 <br /> <br />Will there be a second round of federal stimulus funding? <br /> <br />There are no current plans to issue a second stimulus package. However, the League will <br />continue to monitor federal actions and provide updates on additional funding. <br /> <br />Will there be additional funding for the new programs implemented in ARRA, for example <br />the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program? <br /> <br />It is likely that new programs in ARRA that prove to be successful will continue. The League is <br />monitoring programs impacting cities, and will lobby for additional funding as appropriate. For <br />example, the League is already lobbying for full funding ($10 billion) of the EECBG funding over <br />the next few years. <br /> <br />What are the reporting requirements for projects once funded? <br /> <br />The federal government is still working on reporting requirements. Federal agencies and <br />departments will release reporting guidelines as they are finalized for each program. City officials <br />should be prepared for the requirements to evolve over time, even after the initial guidelines are <br />announced. <br /> <br />'Forum' Continued from Page 1... <br /> <br />Mayors and Council Members Executive Forum <br /> <br />Now you can get to the Mayors and Council Members Executive Forum a little cheaper by taking <br />advantage of the League's special pricing for this conference: <br />.
