Second Downtown Fagade Grant Program
Agreement for 124 Main Street FILE NUMBER:
Resolution 23-R-0035 COMMITTEE AGENDA DATE: N/A

CITY ADMINISTRATOR REVIEW: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
A second Fagade Grant request has been submitted for additional improvements to 124 Main Street. The
scope of work approved in the prior Agreement included the installation of a second entrance on the side
of the building. That change, however, triggered requirements to provide an accessible entrance, whict
was not accounted for when the second entrance was installed. As such, the property owner (124 Mair
WC LLC) is requesting additional grant funding to replace the existing entry door facing Main Street with <
taller door to eliminate the threshold and provide grade-level access.
The scope of work to replace the entrance door is an eligible expense. The removal of the threshold wil
extend the overall height of the door but will not modify the top of the opening. The Historical Preservatior
Commission reviewed the proposed improvement and approved Certificate of Appropriateness 23-06 or
March 28, 2023.
Three cost estimates for the installation of the new entry door on Main Street have been submitted a:
required: 1) Rainbow Glass & Trim Ltd for $4,600.00; 2) A&G Glass and Mirror for $4,600.00; and 3) Atla:
Door Repair for $11,998.00. The City’s contribution is typically 50% of the lowest estimated cost(s), whict
would result in a grant award of $2,300.00, if awarded.
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’:
budget within the General Fund until increment is generated. Within the 2023 budget for Facade Gran
Funding, City staff determined that there are sufficient funds available to reimburse up to $2,300.00 to 12«
Main WC LLC for the completed installation of the entrance door on Main Street per the Program’:
guidelines and in accordance with all applicable City Codes.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Consideration of a second Fagade Grant award for improvements to 124 Main Street to replace the entn
door on Main Street with a reimbursement amount not to exceed $2,300.00. The petitioner’s request
Resolution and Grant Agreement reflecting an amount of $2,300.00 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 Facade 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.
Submitted by Yolanda Peterson on 3/27/23
