Our first email blast to Centerville businesses was to inform them of the Small Business Relief
Grants being offered by Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development
(DEED). The $10,000 grant was offered to businesses with less than 50 employees who could

prove they had a loss due to Covid-19. The awards will be announced in mid-July. The program
will probably be used as the framework for other funds being offered and be mirrored by counties
and cities.
Anoka County Regional Economic Development (ACRED) is still planning on several events this
fall, and some are being offered as virtual events. The Minnesota Commercial Association of Real
Estate/Realtors (MNCAR) Expo has been converted to a virtual event.
Business 4 Business program is starting to roll out. The program is a non-governmental program
where large businesses donate money to be redistributed to smaller businesses.
The city council made a change to our fund balance policy. The language now says that we try to

We should be receiving Covid-19 relief funds soon. We will receive $304,000.00, and our goal
will be to find qualifying expenses by November 15, 2020 such as hand sanitizer, Plexiglas, face
masks and some fire department expenses. Money that is left will go to our business relief program.
The city has been in contact with the owner of 7241 Main St, who would like to split the lot into
two or three separate lots.
We have not heard anything new regarding Block 7. Executive Director Statz spoke to Apollo
Development and let them know that the conversation with Trident has come to a halt because TIF
will not be used. They have also found that they are unable to attract investors with a building that
has less than 100 units.

Mr. Statz also clarified that the yearly cost for the program was $720.00 for one way, not both.
Commissioner Weatherhead spoke with the program administrator at Minnesota Department of
Transportation, and was told that they had limited space available on the existing sign without
installing a second one. It would take 6-8 weeks to get the logos on the existing sign, and 3-4
months if a second sign is needed. There is no extra cost for a second sign. Executive Director
Statz gave details on the potential cost for the program, which would be a maximum of $5400.00

4. 2020 Budget Status Review
Executive Director Statz showed a spreadsheet reviewing the 2020 budget. He highlighted
different items and explained money spent and what was left over after commitments have been
stated that he would bring pricing for flags to the next meeting.
VII. Old Business
1. 7087 Centerville Road - Grant Application
A grant application was submitted for decorative concrete, patio seating and a possible
handicapped ramp. Executive Director Statz cautioned that there are some complications with
putting a restaurant on this site as far as building code is concerned, and significant investments
would have to be made in order to open as a restaurant. He said there is potential that this does not
turn into a restaurant, however staff is recommending that the grant be approved for $5,000,
because improvements to the site are exactly what this grant program was meant for, and there
would be a stipulation that the concrete must be decorative.
Additional discussion was had regarding the barriers to putting a restaurant on the site, including
building codes, fire codes, accessibility and parking. Also discussed were terms of the grant such
as requiring decorative concrete and a decorative wrought iron or other weatherproof railing with
architectural elements.

Motion by Commissioner Weatherhead seconded by Commissioner Wilharber, to support
the grant amount up to $5,000.00 at a 1:1 match to cover decorative concrete in front of
building. If the project includes a ramp, the railing needs to be wrought iron or other
ornamental railing with architectural elements and weatherproof coating. All in favor.
Motion carried.
2. Resolution #EDA 20-05 Establishing a Newspaper Advertising Campaign to Support
Local Businesses.
Discussion took place regarding ads in the local newspaper and running two ads side by side to
advertise local businesses with the Centerville and CenterStage logos. Executive Director Statz

already stressed. Executive Director Statz said that he would discuss this with Michele Koch of
Main Street Marketers.
The options of a color ad or a black and white ad were also discussed. The commission decided to
use black and white ads to get better use of their money.

VIII. New Business
1. Business Assistance Grant Program (CARES Act Funds)
Executive Director Statz explained that the Federal Cares Act allocated money to states for Covid
relief. Federal guidance was that 45% of it should to go directly to cities. The City of Centerville
will receive $304,000. Mr. Statz stated that he would like to purposefully leave some of the money
to help local businesses.
Mr. Statz also explained that under the Business Assistance Grant Program, if a business got a
grant from Minnesota Department of Economic Development (DEED), then they cannot get this
grant, according to federal guidelines. Commissioner Love raised the question of how to know
which businesses got the DEED grant. Executive Director Statz proposed the idea of an email blast
with a survey asking various qualifying questions. He also talked about having a lottery system
much like DEED to qualify for funds, or should we allocate funds by dividing it evenly by the
number of applicants.
Motion by Commissioner Weatherhead, seconded by Commissioner Giovinazzo to adjourn
the meeting at 8:41 p.m. A roll call vote was taken. All in favor. Meeting adjourned.

Food and Fuel Business Owners,
e a new pilot program to spur our local economy in these
difficult times. The EDA is offering a 75% cost share for placement of your logo on the blue logo signs on the interstate
directing motorists to your establishment. This offer is good for the first year of participation. About this time next year,
the EDA will evaluate the program participation and gauge its success, to determine whether or not to continue the
program and at what cost share percentage.
The costs, including off-ramp sign is around $720, so your cost would be about $180.
More info on the Blue Sign Program can be seen here: https://minnesota.interstatelogos.com/state/
If you are interested in participating, please contact me (see below). Thanks.

VIII.1
TITLE OF ISSUE:
2021 Preliminary Budget
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
Staff has prepared a preliminary budget for 2021. Much of the budget is grounded in the extension of our
existing programs. The Commission should discuss whether or not to scale back some of the programs to stay
within our existing funding level or request additional funding through the City's General Fund budget process.
Further discussion should expand on other budget items.
It is still unclear as to whether or not CARES Act funds will be available to help defray some of our 2020 costs,
allowing us to carry forward a surplus into 2021, which could help allow an unbalanced budget. It is staff's
feeling that, for now, we should not factor these relief funds into our budgeting process.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
TBD
