SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
At the January 5, 2021 meeting, the City Council requested information related to the requirements for allocating more of the CDBG-CV funds to Yakima County Development Association (YCDA) for supplemental  reimbursement payments to small (Microenterprise) businesses in the City of Yakima. Staff contacted  YCDA, as well as reviewed  federal guidelines to determine any  restrictions. As long as a small business can provide documentation of eligible expenses, the City could open a supplemental round of Microenterprise financial support and YCDA is willing to administer the program again, with administrative costs covered by  CDBG-CV funds.
