Resolution 2020-51 Approving a Revised Fund Balance Policy
.� (ADM 2020-36)
Alderman Funkhouser made a motion to approve a Resolution Approving a Revised Fund Balance Policy
and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute; seconded by Alderman Peterson.
Director Fredrickson explained that the purpose of this item is to add contingency language to the city's
existing fund balance policy. This revision would give the council the option to set a contingency amount
which would be based on the total general fund appropriated budget. The contingency amount could be
set anywhere from zero percent up to ten percent of the general fund budget and could be used for
unforeseen or unbudgeted expenditures. At the end of the fiscal year,any unspent contingency funds
would return to the fund balance.
The Minutes of the Rezular Meeting of the City Council—May 26,2020—PaEe 5 of 5
Discussion took place that the contingency funds are a line item in the budget which means the council
will have input on the percentage of the general fund that will be allocated to the contingency fund line
item each year when they approve the annual fiscal year budget. If this policy revision is approved, it will
give the council the authority to approve the percentage of the contingency line item funding annually.

18 Dodger' s fan there . Okay. I will turn it over

Page 7

2 MAYOR PURCELL: You are a damn good
3 administrator, though .
4 MR. OLSON: All right . Let me share my
5 screen here, so just bear with me for a second.
6 Okay. Can everybody see that?
7 MAYOR PURCELL: Yes .
8 ALDERMAN MILSCHEWSKI : Yep .
9 MR. OLSON: Thank you. So we have the
10 public hearing for the Downstate Small Business
11 Stabilization Program. So, again, this is a
12 state-ran program set up to offset the impact of
13 the COVID-19 virus, and it provides businesses up
14 to 60 days of verifiable working capital up to
15 $25, 000 .
16 So, again, the eligibility criteria
17 here is that you have to have been open since
18 January of 2017 with no business having changed,
19 you can ' t be a franchise, you have to have less
20 than 50 employees, et cetera. The rest of the
21 requirements are on the screen there .
22 So the only requirement is that you
23 have to maintain your business and remain open
24 for 60 days after funding is rewarded and you
Vitosh Reporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cros .vitosh@gmail.com
Page 8
1 have to use the funds for working capital, and
2 the amount of the loan and grant is based on the
3 actual business expenses .
4 So we do have eight applications in
5 this round, which is our second round. They are
6 all on the screen and we will get into each one
7 of the businesses here in just a minute .
8 So out of these eight businesses,
9 they are requesting $25, 000 each, for a grand
10 total of $200, 000 .
11 Okay. So the next eight slides in
12 this presentation give detailed information about
13 each business, including the amount of funds that
14 they are requesting, what they are going to use
15 the funds for, and the impact that COVID-19 has
16 had on their business .
17 These detailed slides have been
18 available on the City website and in the City
19 Council packet since Thursday, May 21st . I 'm
20 going to show each one of the slides on the
21 screen, and rather than read the slide verbatim,
22 I am going to summarize each business ' s
23 information as follows : The name of the
24 business; the amount of funds that are requested
Vitosh Reporting Service 815 . 993 . 2832 cros .vitosh@gmail . com
Page 9
1 by the business; the list of activities that will
2 be undertaken with grant funding; and how the
3 business and community can be benefitted through
4 the grant .
5 At the end of my narrative on the
6 businesses, the public hearing will be opened for
7 resident comments, and residents can provide any
8 comment on any of the eight businesses .
9 The Mayor is going to control the
10 order of public comment at that time, so each
11 business has been asked to attend this meeting
12 remotely, and we have one in person, and they are
13 going to be prepared to answer questions posed by
14 the City Council or the public as allowed by the
15 Mayor .
16 So in addition to the narrative on
17 each business, the State has asked us to comment
18 about a detailed, prioritized list of community
19 development and housing needs during the public
20 hearing. The following narrative applies to
21 every one of the eight businesses up at the
22 public hearing this evening.
23 COVID-19 has decimated the business
24 community and employment numbers in the region
Vitosh Reporting Service 815. 993 . 2832 cros .vitosh@gmail . com
Page 10
1 and in the state to degrees included in each of
2 the business applications and as narrated in this
3 public hearing.
4 First, the City' s Comprehensive Plan
5 Update discusses the importance of a healthy
6 business community in order to improve quality
7 of life, specifically commercial/retail
8 development .
9 In Section 2, Community
10 Characteristics and Land Use Trends, the
11 Comprehensive Plan states there is a defined need
12 for a more consistent, cohesive approach to
13 attracting and retaining retail and commercial
14 services, especially in the downtown, where
15 sustained efforts in supporting and incubating
16 businesses should be the focus of economic
17 development . Second, in the same section of the
18 City' s Comprehensive Plan, it discusses that
19 housing count and household growth is key to
20 attracting new retail development . Any loss of
21 business in the community is going to cause the
22 existing residential base to be underserved.
23 So our first business, Centers for
24 Foot and Ankle Surgery, Limited, d/b/a Foot and
Vitosh Reporting Service 815. 993. 2832 cros.vitosh@gmail.com
Page 11
1 Ankle Centers, is requesting $25, 000 for working
2 capital, including payroll, rent, utilities,
3 telecommunications, inventory and overhead
4 expenses . The Foot and Ankle Center has been
5 open since January lst, 1999 and has 18
6 employees . Since the start of the pandemic, the
7 Center has had to furlough staff and go to
8 partial shifts . Funding will help them maintain
9 their 15 employees and to provide care/treatment
10 for local patients .
11 Crusade Burger Bar, LLC is
12 requesting $25, 000 for working capital, including
13 payroll . Crusade has been in Yorkville since
14 June of 2016 and had a total of 38 full-time
15 equivalent employees, 43 part-time and 25
16 full-time employees prior to the pandemic. The
17 COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a loss of about
18 60 percent of their normal revenues . Funding
19 will help them retain employees until they are
20 able to restart indoor dining.
21 Fast Burrito, Incorporated has
22 requested $25, 000 for working capital, including
23 payroll, rent and utilities . Fast Burrito has
24 been established since March, 2005 and has five
Vitosh Reporting Service 815 . 993. 2832 cros.vitosh@gmail. com
Page 12
1 employees . Since the start of the pandemic,
2 sales have decreased significantly as indoor
3 dining is prevented. Funding will help them
4 retain employees and continue take-out
5 operations until they are able to restart indoor
6 dining.
7 Ginger and Soul, Incorporated is
8 requesting $25, 000 for working capital, payroll,
9 supplies, rent and utilities . Ginger and Soul
10 has been in business since February, 2015 and has
11 five employees, along with seasonal help. Sales
12 have decreased significantly since indoor dining
13 is prohibited. Catered events have been
