WHEREAS, the San Mateo County Economic Development Association ("SAMCEDA") has
been coordinating several COVID-19 relief programs for local businesses in San Mateo County through
the County initiative "San Mateo County Strong"; and
WHEREAS, as a part of this initiative, SAMCEDA launched the Restaurant, Brewery &
Winery Grant Program ("Program") on February 22, 2021; and
WHEREAS, the Program offers grants to qualifying businesses in the amount of $10,000 to
assist with operational and other costs incurred as a result of COVID-19 such as making additional
health and safety operational modifications; and
WHEREAS, SAMCEDA received, reviewed, and approved a total of 40 eligible local
businesses located in the City of South San Francisco ("City") to receive a $10,000 grant; and
WHEREAS, due to constraints in funding, the most recent round of Program funding was only
able to award such grants to 14 out of the 40 South San Francisco businesses pursuant to a lottery
process to determine the final recipients; and
WHEREAS, the City and SAMCEDA have identified an opportunity to provide grant funding
to all 40 SSF local businesses with an additional contribution by the City to the Program, where the City
would provide funds for the additional 26 grants in the amount of $10,000 each, for a total of $260,000;
and
WHEREAS, the City's $260,000 contribution would be allocated from previously appropriated
City funds and be directed to the San Mateo County Credit Union, which is the administering agency for
the San Mateo County Strong Initiative Fund, for the specific purpose of funding the 26 local businesses
located in South San Francisco previously approved to receive a Program grant.
