6. COVID-19 Small Business Emergency Grant Program Update
Mr. Olson provided information related to the Federal CARES Act grant funding, the
Dakota County Small Business Relief Grant Program and the Lakeville Small Business
Emergency Grant Program. The Economic Development Commission reviewed the City's
grant program guidelines and recommended providing a second grant round that uses
the same program guidelines as Dakota County and the MN Department of Employment
and Economic Development (DEED). This would remove the $1 million annual revenue
limitation for businesses, increase the maximum number of full-time equivalent
employees, and remove the restriction on the receipt of Pandemic Unemployment
Assistance by business owners.
The City Administrator explained that after the City Council formally authorizes a second
round of funding to accommodate all eligible requests, staff will reach out to the
businesses that either did not apply or were denied by either the State, County or City.

Business Emergency Grant Program to accommodate all eligible requests received by the
deadline that are not being funded through the Dakota County grant program with a not -
to -exceed amount of $100,000.

7. Interstates South Logistics Park Third Addition
Dan Salzer, representing Scannell Properties, requested Council approval of the Interstate
South Logistics Park Third Addition preliminary plat, consisting of one lot and one block,
and a conditional use permit to allow building height in excess of 45 feet on property
located south of 217th Street and west of Dodd Boulevard. A 750,000 square foot
distribution and fulfillment center is proposed to be built on the parcel.

217th Street to the westerly property line. The developer was successful in obtaining the

way.

the preliminary plat of Interstate South Logistics Park Third Addition, findings of fact and a
conditional use permit to allow building height in excess of 45 feet.
