(KLZA)--Falls City City Administrator Gary Jorn informed the Falls City Council Monday evening that the City was able to be reimbursed through the CARES Act Presumptive Wages for public safety employees in the amount of roughly $148,000. Jorn then sought input from the council on using part of the The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA funds) for premium pay to the public safety employees.

Jorn informed the council that the City received $360,000 from the ARPA funds in their first round of payment. The council asked Jorn to come up with a proposal for the premium pay for public safety employees and present it at their August 2nd meeting.
