qualifying expenses to a maximum of $10,000. The program has sufficient funds
to cover this and other grant applications this year.
The Commission has given the department authorization to approve most
applications for the program. However this building is just outside the current
boundaries. The current boundary line goes down the alley in back of the
building. Staff is asking the council to reconsider the boundaries to include
businesses on the west side of N. 1st Street from Pine Street to Laurel Street.
Commission members stated they are in favor of moving the boundary to N. 1st
Street to allow for all businesses to qualify for the program allowing the Planning
Department to approve when appropriate.
Michael Parsons moved to authorize the Facade Improvement
Application for Montgomery Meats and move the boundary for the City's
Facade Improvement Program to include the businesses on the west
side of N. 1St Street between Pine Street and Laurel Street.

B. Development Commission Resolution No. 2020-01, Adopting the Budget,
Making Appropriations, and Declaring Tax Increment for Fiscal Year 2020-
21(Presented by Weber)
Finance Director Steven Weber explained that the Development Commission
Budget Committee met on April 9th to review the proposed budget. The budget
was approved to move forward for Board of Directors formal adoption.
City Manager Chris Clayton explained that they have been working on
available grants to be used to help businesses during this pandemic. One
opportunity requires matching funds but they do not want to use the General
Fund and are working on alternatives so that we can still help the businesses
in Central Point recover from their recent closures. Staff is working on criteria
and an application process that will be brought before the commission for
approval. If we are able to receive any of the funds we may be returning to
the Commission with a supplemental budget adjustment.
Kelley Johnson moved to approve Resolution 2020-01 A Resolution
Adopting the Budget, Making Appropriations, and Declaring Tax
