AMENDMENT TO SECOND ROUND OF SMALL BUSINESS EMERGENCY GRANT PROGRAM,
ALLOCATION OF CARES FUNDS FOR NONPROFIT GRANTS AND LAKEVILLE ARENAS, AND
RESOLUTION ACKNOWLEDGING THE RECEIPT AND USE OF CARES FUNDS FOR ELIGIBLE
EXPENSES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motions:
1) Move to approve the proposed amended Guidelines for the Second Round of the Small Business
Emergency Grant Program to include Part B Nonprofit Grants and allocate $333,911 of
additional CARES Act funding;
2) Move to allocate $28,347 of CARES Act funding to Lakeville Arenas;
3) Move to approve a resolution acknowledging the receipt and use of CARES Act funds for eligible
expenses.
Overview
City staff discussed the status of the first and second round of the Small Business Emergency Grant
Program during the October 26th City Council Work Session. The City Council previously approved
utilization of $484,694 of Federal CARES Act funding for the first round of grant funds, of which
$396,544.50 was awarded to 41 small businesses. The City Council subsequently approved an additional
$400,000 to be used for a second round of small business grants and applications were accepted from
September 16 - 30. Currently, the City has awarded grants to eight second round applicants, totaling
$75,337.96. Of the 53 applications, it was determined that 17 of the applications did not meet program
guidelines and 12 businesses withdrew their applications. At this time, the City is reserving $150,000 in
small business grant funds in the event that Lakeville’s duplicate grant applicants do not receive funds
from Dakota County or DEED.
The City Council has received CARES Act grant requests from five nonprofit organizations who have
provided significant direct support to those adversely affected in the City of Lakeville by the COVID-19
pandemic. The amended Small Business Emergency Grant Program Guidelines for the Second Round
includes a Part B for Nonprofit Grants. Organizations approved by Council during the October 26th Work
Session and included in the Part B Guidelines are: 360 Communities ($50,000), Fairview Ridges Hospital
($105,911), Lakeville Area Chamber of Commerce and Lakeville Convention & Visitors Bureau
($143,000), Lakeville Area Schools ($25,000) and Burnsville YMCA Early Childhood Learning Center in
Lakeville ($10,000).
The City Council also discussed using CARES Act funds for eligible expenses ($28,347) associated with
the Lakeville Arenas, which operates under a Joint Powers Agreement with ISD#194.
City staff recommended having the City Council adopt a resolution acknowledging the receipt of the
CARES Act funds as well as the use of the funds for eligible expenses. This would provide greater
transparency to the community about the use of the funds.
Primary Issues to Consider
The City of Lakeville has received grant funding requests from five area nonprofit organizations who have
provided direct support to residents and small businesses in the City during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Each applicant nonprofit organization has experienced significant COVID-19 related revenue losses
between March 15 and November 15, 2020. If the City Council elects to fund these nonprofit grant
requests, an additional $333,911 in CARES Act funding will need to be allocated toward the Small
Business Emergency Grant Program’s Second Round.

City of Lakeville Small Business Emergency Grant Program Guidelines
Second Round
Revised October 2020
PART A – Business Grants
To provide emergency assistance to small local businesses in Lakeville adversely impacted by
the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Lakeville Small Business Emergency Grant Program will
provide grants of up to $10,000 to small businesses most in need of support.
Funds will help businesses pay for critical expenses such as payroll, rent, mortgage payments,
utility bills, and other operational expenses that have occurred since March 1, 2020. Providing
this support will increase the capacity of small businesses with a physical location in Lakeville
to survive the current crisis and will help prevent potential future blight scenarios. These
grant funds can be used to ensure a business can afford to operate while maintaining the
social distancing guidelines for the safety of its employees and customers.
The Grant Program’s second round will be administered by the City of Lakeville Community
and Economic Development Department. Grant funds will be distributed until the program
allocation is exhausted, up to $400,000. The City Administrator is authorized to approve grant
payments directly to businesses that comply with all Second Round Grant Program
Guidelines.
Terms
• Up to $10,000 grant based on economic injury from COVID-19 related eligible
expenses.
• Funds can be used for operating expenses, including rent payments, mortgage
payments, payroll, utilities, payments to suppliers, or other critical business expenses
(including expenses related to reopening and personal protective equipment) as

of its annual net revenue from lottery sales

data security, privacy or confidentiality laws.
