Economic Vitality Committee <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 25, 2020 <br />Page 3of3 <br />VII. Discussion- Recovery & Improvement Matching Grant Program Update: <br />Director Pierce provided a brief update on the program —which has now <br />awarded 10 grants totaling approximately $55,000 (of the $150,000 program <br />funding). Mayor Stolzmann inquired how Director Pierce and the Committee <br />should handle a situation where there are more applications than funding to <br />support. After a discussion, it was agreed the EVC supported additional funding <br />if eligible grant applications are received and that Director Pierce will coordinate <br />so that a proposal can come to the City Council in a timely manner. <br />Mayor Stolzmann also requested that a list of grant recipients be posted on the <br />City website. Director Pierce said this could be done with notifying the recipients <br />and that she also hoped the City could share stories of positive outcomes from <br />the programs through a business e-newsletter. <br />VIII.
