7. COVID-19 City Operation Update
The City Administrator provided a COVID-19 city operation update. He stated staff is
looking into re-opening restrooms in the parks and will provide an update at the next City
Council meeting.
8. Unfinished business
Mr. Olson presented the Small Business Emergency Grant Program guidelines, outlining
the changes that were made since the June 22nd City Council work session and the June
23rd Economic Development Commission meeting. He explained that Lakeville will receive
a federal CARES Act allocation of $4,846,940 for coronavirus-related expenses, which can
include providing financial relief to small businesses. Staff is proposing to allocate
$200,000 to the Small Business Emergency Grant Program. He explained that the program
will be administered by the Economic Development Department, and grant funds will be
distributed until the program allocation is exhausted. Grant recipients will be selected on
a first come-first served basis.
Council members discussed whether the $200,000 earmarked for this program is
adequate. Council Members Hellier and Wheeler suggested raising the program allocation
to $480,000 or 10% of Lakeville’s total CARES Act allocation. Mr. Miller stated the dollar
amount is determined by the City Council. Staff recommended $200,000, as it is still
unknown how much of the City’s coronavirus-related expenses are eligible for
reimbursement.
Council member Lee stated he would support raising the grant program allocation but
was concerned that this money would not be available to cover the City’s expenses.
