Amendment to Downtown Fagade Grant
Program Agreement for 124 Main Street FILE NUMBER:
ITEM TITLE:
Resolution 23-R-0034 COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: N/A
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: April 3, 2023
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE
CITY ADMINISTRATOR REVIEW: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
City Council authorized a Fagade Grant Agreement (2020-R-0035) with Yolanda Peterson on July 20, 2020
to install a second entrance on the side of the building and two awnings at 124 Main Street. The Agreement
authorized reimbursement of $2,600.00 upon completion of these improvements.
A Building Permit was issued on August 5, 2020 under which the work to install the side entrance door has
been completed but the awnings have not. The Agreement states that the work shall be completed within
12 months of issuance of the building permit. Since that did not occur, the grantee is requesting an
amendment to the Agreement to allow additional time to complete the work and to update the cost of
installing the awnings, as the price has increased.
Three updated cost estimates for the design, manufacture and installation of two awnings have been
submitted as required: 1) HW Awnings & Canopies for $3,330.00; 2) Thatcher Oaks Awnings for $3,400.00;
and 3) Chesterfield Awning, Co. for $5,915.00. The City’s contribution is typically 50% of the lowest
estimated cost(s). The difference between the lowest estimate from the original approval and this request
is $1,030, which would result in an increased grant amount of $515.00. If approved, the revised grant award
would be $3,115.00.
The funding for the Program typically comes from the Downtown TIF District, if sufficient funding is available
for the Program. However, the termination of the prior Downtown TIF District and the establishment of the
new Downtown TIF District has shifted the funding source to the Community Development Department's
budget within the General Fund until increment is generated. Within the 2023 budget for Facade Grant
Funding, City staff determined that there are sufficient funds available to reimburse up to $3,115.00 to
Yolanda Peterson for the completed installation of the second door as well as the successful design,
manufacture and installation of two awnings per the Program’s guidelines and in accordance with all
applicable City Codes.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Consideration of an amendment to a Facade Grant award to extend the terms of the agreement and
authorize an increased reimbursement amount not to exceed $3,115.00 for the installation of a second
entrance door and design, manufacture and installation of two awnings at 124 Main Street. The petitioner's
request, a Resolution and Grant Agreement reflecting an amount of $3,115.00 are attached.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item did not go to a Committee.

Raised Bakery and Café Grant Requests
The Retail-Restaurant Grant was approved by the City Council for Raised Bakery and Café at 124 Main
Street on December 16, 2019. The project to build-out the property began with approval of the Facade
Grant.
The Facade Grant on behalf of Raised Bakery and Café for adding a side entrance and installing two
awnings in the amount of $2,600.00 was approved on July 20, 2020. The permit for the new side door
and awning was issued on August 5, 2020. Per the agreement, the grant agreement is valid for 12
months after the permit issuance.
Due to the effects of the pandemic and unforeseen personal circumstances, the work was not able to be
completed within the 12 months as outlined in the Fagade Grant Agreement and the business did not
open within the 6 months required by the Retail & Restaurant Grant. This request is to extend the prior
grant approvals with an updated cost for the awnings that were not completed, and adding an ADA door
entrance on Main Street. The awning price has increased since the initial estimate was submitted more
than three years ago. The need for the ADA entrance was identified after the side door was installed
but could not provide the accommodation, which is why it was not included in the original grant
approval. The outstanding items for this project will be completed within four months.
Nothing besides increased food costs affect the previously submitted Business Plan. This may affect
menu pricing but is not expected to affect any other aspect of operations.
