Andy stated that he recently learned at a SWIMCA meeting that the City can apply for the program to receive reimbursement for direct grant payments to distribute to local businesses affected by COVID. Andy said that he is asking for $85,000. Interested businesses would complete an application. If approved, the money would be paid to the business from the Revolving Loan Fund. The City would then request reimbursement from DCEO for the amount paid to that business. Andy would complete the initial review of any applications submitted. Then the applications would be reviewed by the Finance Committee and City Council. This grant will make it easier for locally owned businesses to receive COVID assistance if the City applies for it. After Andy’s presentation, John Hodapp made a motion to allow City Administrator Andy Brackett to apply for the grant program. Don Perez seconded the motion. After a voice vote, all were found in favor.
