Frisco has received an extra $4 million in funds allocated from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act thanks to a new agreement with Collin County.
On Thursday, the city approved entering into another interlocal agreement with the county that will provide access to the additional funds.
âThe funds will be used for direct expenses,â Jenny Hundt, Friscoâs assistant finance director, said Thursday. âIt will offset our police and fire salaries in FY 21.â
According to a city memo, guidance regarding how CARES Act money can be used states that funds can go to payroll costs for public health and public safety employees, since they were dedicated to responding to the pandemic.
