Summary

Redevelopment staff presented before-and-after photos and asked the advisory board to approve a $50,000 commercial grant reimbursement; the board approved the request by voice vote.

Ken Thomas, redevelopment director, presented a commercial grant reimbursement request for McKay's Tavern at 218 South Beach Street and asked the advisory board to approve $50,000 in reimbursements for completed improvements.

Thomas said the work—ceiling renovation, cooler replacement, flooring and related interior work—had already been completed and paid for. “The total project itself was just over $64,000. This particular grant application is for $50,000 of reimbursement,” Thomas said, and he showed before-and-after photos of the interior and cooling system.

Board members clarified that the board had not previously acted on this specific 218 South Beach Street application and discussed recent meeting schedules and minutes. After the presentation a motion to approve was made, seconded and passed by voice vote; the meeting record shows the motion carried.

Ending: Staff noted that the usual process is reimbursement after completion and that applicants pay up front and are then reimbursed; no further conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting.
