Resolution 2020-035 Establishing Small Business Emergency Assistance <br /> Grant Program in Response to COVID-19 <br /> Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated on June 25 Governor Tim <br /> Walz announced a plan to distribute $853 million in federal funding to Minnesota communities <br /> impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The funding was authorized by the Federal Coronavirus <br /> Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. City funding was calculated on a formula of <br /> $75.34 per capita and the amount allocated to the City of Arden Hills totals $745,040. The City <br /> submitted its certification form for Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF) monies on July 6. The funds <br /> are now available and the City is required to expend all of its funds by November 15, 2020. <br /> Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented at its August 10, 2020 <br /> work session, the City Council and staff discussed establishing a Small Business Emergency <br /> Assistance Grant Program in response to the significant challenges currently facing local <br /> businesses related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The State of Minnesota and Ramsey County have <br /> previously provided funding opportunities to businesses that have been impacted by COVID-19. <br /> Due to demand, the programs were oversubscribed and many businesses did not meet eligibility <br /> requirements imposed by the various programs. According to City data, Arden Hills has <br /> approximately 150 businesses. Ramsey County has provided funding to seven (7) Arden Hills <br /> businesses and it is unknown at this time if any local businesses received assistance from the <br /> State. <br /> Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported at the direction of the City <br /> Council, the City of Arden Hills will make available $150,000.00 of CARES Act Funds to create <br /> a Small Business Emergency Assistance Grant Program. The intent of the grant program would be <br /> to provide financial assistance to local businesses to help them continue their operations, preserve <br /> employment, and prevent business closures in an effort to encourage long-term economic vitality <br /> in Arden Hills. The program would provide locally-owned and operated businesses with an <br /> emergency grant of up to $5,000. To be eligible to receive a grant, a business must demonstrate <br /> loss due to COVID-19 and meet the eligibility requirements and program parameters. <br />
