AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: 7.C.
Second Amendment to a Retail & Restaurant Grant
124 Main Street, Raised Bakery and Café FILE NUMBER:
Resolution 24-R-0073 COMMITTEE DATE: N/A
COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: October 7, 2024
STAFF REVIEW: Tom Dabareiner, AICP SIGNATURE LG a>—
CITY ADMINISTRATOR REVIEW: Michael Guttman SIGNATURE
ITEM SUMMARY:
Raised Bakery & Café was awarded the City’s Retail-Restaurant Grant in an amount not to exceed $10,000
on December 16, 2019. The Grantee, Yolanda Peterson, began the build-out of the space at 124 Main
Street in early 2020 but had some personal and construction setbacks that stalled the project. The City
Council formalized approval of the grant and extended the timeline on April 3, 2023 via Resolution 2023-
R-0036 and extended the grant on April 1, 2024 via Resolution 2024-R-0034 to accommodate the
continuation of the project.
The business has received the Certificate of Occupancy but has not had the required Health Department
inspection so the business is not yet open. Pursuant to the terms in the Agreement, the Grantee is
requesting an amendment to accommodate the opening of the bakery by November 30, 2024. As a
reminder, Raised Bakery and Café will be a full-service retail bakery and café, offering a selection of menu
items including baked goods and gourmet coffees, as well as a full breakfast and lunch menu.
Staff continues to support this request, as Raised Bakery and Café will be a desirable retail business and
café, which will generate additional traffic within the downtown. The opening of Raised Bakery and Café
will increase local tax revenues and support opportunities for new businesses, along with retention and
expansion of existing businesses, in the downtown area.
ACTIONS PROPOSED:
Consideration of a Resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a second amendment to the Retail-
Restaurant Grant Program Agreement in an amount not to exceed $10,000.00 for the build-out of Raised
Bakery & Café at 124 Main Street.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
This item did not go to a Committee.
