CITY COUNCIL - FORMAL ITEMS A. 26-108 Resolution Approving Application to U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Business Development Grant in the amount of $260,000 Summary: The City is seeking authorization to apply for a U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Business Development Grant in the amount of $260,000 to support renovations and economic development improvements at the Neshotah Beach Concession Stand and Bathhouse facility. The proposed project would continue planned restroom and picnic shelter renovations while repositioning the concession stand as a business incubation and entrepreneurship space. The renovated facility could be leased seasonally to a local small business operator or utilized as a flexible "pop-up kitchen" space that allows food entrepreneurs and startup businesses to test concepts and grow their operations in a high-visibility waterfront location. The project is anticipated to include approximately $100,000 in City capital funding and an additional $150,000 in local grants, partnerships, and matching resources. By combining facility improvements with business development opportunities, the project aligns with USDA Rural Development goals of supporting entrepreneurship, expanding economic opportunities, and strengthening rural communities while enhancing one of the City's most heavily visited public amenities. 1  Recommended Action: Motion to waive reading and adopt the resolution Motion carried with a roll call vote.
