Re: Small Business Recovery Grant Program
CARES Funding – General Description
On March 27, 2020 the U.S. Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic
Security Act (H.R. 748), also known as the CARES Act. Approximately $2.4 million was
allocated to the City of Auburn to cover various eligible costs that were incurred as a result of
coronavirus. The City cannot use funds to supplant lost revenue. One eligible manner to use
the CARES funding is to provide assistance to businesses that have been impacted by the
coronavirus.
Program Overview
To mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on City of Auburn small businesses and their employees,
The City of Auburn Council has committed up to $759,565.00 in one-time funds to create a
Small Business Assistance Grant Program. The objective of this program is to offer immediate
financial assistance to small businesses in the City of Auburn to aid in maintaining their
business and workforce. Eligible grant recipients will receive a grant award in the amount of
$1,300.00. August 15th 2020 has been established as the closing date for round one grants
under the current eligibility guidelines. Approximately $19,500.00 will be used to purchase
Personal Protection Equipment and distributed through a partnership with the Auburn Area
Chamber of Commerce.
At a minimum businesses eligible to apply for grant funds from the City of Auburn must
meet the following criteria:
Business has a physical presence (address) located within a commercial zone within the City of
Auburn. (Home based businesses do not qualify).
Business is in good standing (including: current City of Auburn business license; current on all
State and regulatory requirements; not facing pending litigation or legal action, including
Shoreline code enforcement).
Be a for-profit business established prior to January 1, 2020.
Have 10 or fewer employees (as indicated on your City of Auburn business license application).
Page 16 of 38
Business was adversely impacted by mandatory and/or voluntary business closures directly
related to the public health response related to COVID-19. Have selected Food Service,
Manufacturing, Retail, Wholesale or Other for “type” of business on your City of Auburn
business license application.
The City of Auburn has also determined that the following “types” of businesses do not
qualify:
Professional Services: Tax preparation and services, Attorney or legal services, Accounting
services, Bookkeeping services, Financial services or Environmental services.

Background
In March 2020, councilmembers participated in an annual retreat where one of the main focuses was the
long term fiscal sustainability of the City’s general fund. There was robust discussion over the need for
new/enhanced revenues, service level cuts, or a combination of both. At that time, the council asked staff
to move forward with a strategy that included new revenues, enhanced revenues, and a review of the cost
recovery model for certain city services for the 2021-2022 biennial budget.
Since that time, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented some significant revenue impacts for 2020. In our
meetings with council, there was unanimous support to move forward with the revenue package proposed
in early March. However, council also asked to have a second look and review of the general fund services
for potential reductions or cuts.
