BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On March 11, 2021, the U.S. Government signed into law, a COVID-19 recovery bill, the
American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”). ARPA was intended to support State and Local recovery
from the COVID-19 public health emergency (“COVID-19 Pandemic”) or the negative economic
impacts experienced as a result of the pandemic.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury released materials associated with the release of funds to
Cities and States, known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”)
Salt Lake City received approximately $85.4 million in federal funding, which must be
committed by December 31, 2024 and spent by December 31, 2026.
After extensive community engagement, the Mayor and City Council approved the creation of

the Community Grant Program to help small businesses and nonprofits recover from the
negative economic impacts of the pandemic.
In April of 2022, Salt Lake City code 2.20.040 established the Community Grant Program to be
administered by both The Department of Economic Development (“DED”) and Community and
Neighborhoods (“CAN”). Both departments were tasked with deploying $2M each of the $85.4
million federal funds granted to the City.
Below is an overview of the policies and objectives for these funds that guided the program and
application process.
Program Overview
●No single application for a community grant will exceed $100,000.00
●Any application for a community grant to a nonprofit organization will focus on
supporting communities disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,
including, but not limited to, offering services to retrain displaced workers: providing
legal or other assistance for evictions or rent relief: expanding educational
opportunities; deploying resources to mitigate the digital divide; supporting parents
or children affected by COVID-19 including childcare or after school program; and
providing access to healthcare services, including mental health support.
●Any application for a community grant for a local business will focus on supporting
the business’s operation or employees who have been economically affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
To aid in the process and establish criteria quickly, transparently, and fairly deploy the fund’s
City Council created the Community Recovery Committee (“CRC”) to oversee the process,
review the applications and make recommendations for the deployment of funds.
The committee is comprised of seven (7) members that serve on the following other boards:
Economic Development Loan Fund
Racial Equity in Policing (2 members from this board)
Human Rights Commission (2 members from this board)
Salt Lake Arts Council
Business Advisory Board
Qualifying Use of Funds
To meet the qualifying criteria established by the Department of Treasury and to align our
grants with SLFRF expenditure categories DED staff categorized applications into one of the
four categories below:
●Small business economic assistance
●Aid to Tourism, Travel or Hospitality
●Aid to Arts and Artisan businesses
●Aid to Nonprofit organizations with programming specific to small businesses or
arts and artisan businesses.
All four of these expenditure categories are small business-related, eligible for funding through
the Community Grant Program and aid Salt Lake City’s Department of Finance (“Finance”) to
administer the program.
The application process is set up in two phases. Phase 1 was open from September 1st through
30th, 2022 and Phase 2 will begin sometime in March 2023.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
To ensure the grant program is available to all potential applicants, DED has instituted the
following measures to ensure the program is equitable, transparent, and inclusive:
●Application materials, training videos, and presentations are provided in multiple
languages.
●Online and paper applications are accepted.
●Training and Technical Assistance appointments are offered on both the East and
West sides of Salt Lake City.
●Individual application assistance is provided by DED, The International Rescue
Committee, and SBDC as needed.
In Phase 1 a total of 296 applications were received, and of those 157 were eligible for
further review in the small business category, and 40 were eligible for review as a qualifying
nonprofit.
The information below shows additional demographic data of the applications reviewed by
the committee:
●45 applicants were from a business that identified as 100% Female owned
business.

of the BIPOC community
●61 applicants listed themselves as an arts business
●55 applicants listed themselves as a small business
●77 applicants were from the travel, tourism, or hospitality sector
●40 applicants are from the nonprofit community (applications to be reviewed in
the next phase of funding)
Applications were reviewed by staff, including a member of the Finance Department, and sorted
into lists of 15-20 to be presented for review and scoring by the members of the CRC during its
weekly meetings.
Scoring
Applicants were eligible for 100 base points with the following breakdown:
●60% of the points are based on narratives the businesses provided sharing how
COVID-19 impacted their business (past, present, and future)
●30% of points are based on how a business was able to navigate through the
pandemic.
●10% of the points are based on if the applicant takes advantage of the technical
assistance offered to prepare applicants to submit their application, understand
the questions, and have a review of their narratives.
In addition to the base points, staff awarded up to 70 bonus points to impacted and
disproportionately impacted communities including:
●100% Minority Owned Business (15 points)
●100% Female-Owned Business (15 points)
●Artist-Artisan Business (15 points)

EXHIBIT B
SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR PHASE 1
COMMUNITY RECOVERY GRANTS
(To add following City Council meeting and vote)
Dear Mayor and City Council,
The Community Recovery Committee (CRC) knows that the COVID-19 pandemic and related shutdowns
were devastating to many small businesses in Salt Lake City, and many have struggled to financially
recover from the effects of the pandemic.
The Committee also understands the difficulties that small businesses face. We put a great deal of care
and effort into conducting a fair and equitable process that would award as much money to as many
businesses as possible. With that said, this is a competitive grant program and the Committee agonized
for many hours over difficult decisions to award limited funding.
Thank you for your patience as we ensure we serve as many businesses as we can.
Sincerely,
Jake Maxwell
Chair – Community Recovery Committee
