<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SUBJECT: EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANT PROGRAM <br /> <br />DATE: MAY 6, 2020 PAGE 3 OF 3 <br /> <br />Check requests have been prepared and in coordination with Finance, staff will perform <br />the necessary internal control verifications and do a manual check run. It is our goal to <br />have the checks out the first week of May. In preparation, I have also already drafted <br />three letter templates, so that every applicant will receive a response about their <br />application. Those approved for a grant will receive a letter with their grant check. Those <br />who were eligible, but for whom we do not have sufficient funding to support at this time, <br />will receive a simple denial letter. For those applicants determined to be ineligible, I <br />have drafted a letter that will include their specific reason for denial (as outlined above). <br /> <br />We are working on the communication strategy related to the grant program outcomes, <br />which will include e-mail blast, e-notification/website news, and press release. We want <br />to make sure this is appropriately timed with the notifications to the grant recipients <br />themselves. <br /> <br />Due to prioritizing the program applications, I have not yet started to analyze the <br />additional information gathered in the non-required portion of the application. I hope to <br />analyze this in the next several weeks in order to determine whether we should re- <br />survey our businesses about pandemic impact, but also potentially focusing on re- <br />opening and recovery plans. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Review the update on the Emergency Solutions Grant Program. Provide staff questions <br />or direction on next steps. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Attachment #1: Emergency Solutions Grant Program Web Application <br />
