City Manager Kimball gave an overview of the item and said that Mayor Stimpson had brought the concept of business grant program to her a few weeks ago. The intent was to provide some financial assistance to local small businesses that had been struggling because of the stay-at-home order. Mayor Stimpson recalled that Sutter Creek Mayor Robin Peters suggested that all cities implement a program like this and partner with the Amador Community Foundation (ACF) fori it. The Council then discussed whether to partner with the. Amador Community Foundation. The consensus was to partner with the Foundation while City remains total control of the program and Jackson money stays within Jackson. City Manager said she will verify whether the Foundation may charge the City an administrative fee. CM Garibaldi asked the City Manager to clarify the usage of city's CDBG for dollars for this because Plymouth is using their CDBG dollars for a similar business grant. Kimball responded that Jackson CDBG dollars had been approved for housing projects and we are currently using the dollars for the private sewer lateral grants; in order to change the dedication oft the dollars to business development purposes, the city needs to go through a lengthy state approval process. Basically, no available CDBG dollars for this use. Council then discussed the total amount oft the grant. They decided to make the total available grant dollars $30,000 including the $3,439 from the ACF and the remaining $26,561 from TOT restricted dollars. Council also decided to make each grant up to $1,000. Council also had a briefd discussion of the grant criteria. CM Garibaldi said that the grant is meant to be simple and easy to apply for. He does not foresee a complicated approval process. He recommended that a committee comprised of Mayor Stimpson, the City Manager and any stafft the City Manager wants to include, review the applications and make selection recommendations to the City Council. Council agreed to the recommendation.    City Council Minutes - May 26, 2020  Page 5  Mayor Stimpson opened the discussion to the Public. No public comment was received.
