RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to accept a grant in an amount not to exceed $105,000 from Community Development Block Grant Consortium to provide Small Business Development Center individualized advising and group training to low-to-moderate income County residents for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive an amount not to exceed $105,000 from Community Development Block Grant Consortium funding. No County match is required.

BACKGROUND:

The Small Business Development Center delivers group training and individualized advising to low-to-moderate income County residents seeking to achieve self-sufficiency by starting and/or growing micro-enterprises. The project supports job creation and retention by delivering services regarding small business loans and certifications, procurement, contracting, and exporting.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, Small Business Development Center training would not be available to low-to-moderate income County residents.
