Revitalization Commission <br />Minutes <br />February 9, 2022 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />those two structures. Ten to fifteen buildings had physical/landscaping damage <br />and/or some smoke damage. There have been conversations about how to <br />support businesses, but the economic impact of the fire is not yet known. The <br />City's resources are focused on the residential impact, which was much more <br />severe. <br />Councilmember Leh asked what percentage of businesses have insurance for <br />business interruption. Director Pierce said the majority have insurance, a small <br />number do not. Like residential, there are conditions and caps. Some <br />businesses may be reluctant to tap into insurance. <br />Commissioner Williams asked if the LRC can reimburse businesses who <br />offered support via food, clothing as related to goals on blight prevention. <br />Director Pierce said it can only be done for businesses in Hwy 42 area, and this <br />may not be a sustainable approach since the City cannot aid the businesses <br />that likely had more impacts in the McCaslin Boulevard Corridor. Chair Adler <br />noted that the approach to help and support is complex. <br />Commissioner Smith asked as Xcel is evaluating the fire and lessons learned. <br />He suggested that the LRC could participate in identified infrastructure <br />investments and how to make our systems more robust. <br />Councilmember Leh appreciates Commissioner Williams comments and desire <br />to help. There will be things we will see that make better use of LRC resources <br />that will have lasting impacts. Commissioner Williams asked if the emergency <br />status can trigger some legal barriers to be navigated more easily. Attorney <br />Cotton -Baez said for the City yes, but for the LRC there is not such an <br />established authority. <br />Business Matters of Commission: <br />2022 Open Government and Ethics Pamphlet <br />The Charter has a requirement that this pamphlet be included in the LRC <br />packet annually. Director Pierce encouraged Commissioners to read it. Attorney <br />Cotton -Baez said there will also be an ethics training scheduled in March or <br />April for Commissioners to attend. <br />• Approve 2022 Posting Locations for Public Meetings <br />There is an annual requirement to approve consistent posting locations. <br />Councilmember Leh made a motion to approve the posting locations as: City <br />Agenda Packet P. 5 <br />
