Comment: The small business flood assistance program would provide
forgivable loans of up to $5,000 to assist Iowa City small businesses with
clean-up and inspection costs necessary to get their businesses
reopened. Iowa City will dedicate $75,000 from funding currently
budgeted and allocated for economic business activities with the hope of
securing an additional dollar for dollar match from area businesses to
create a total fund of $150,000.

ADOPTION CENTER.
Comment: The Animal Care and Adoption Center was flooded, and the
animals have been temporarily housed at the Johnson County
Fairgrounds. Because of the upcoming Johnson County Fair, the animals
need to be relocated by July 15, and they cannot return at this time to the
Animal Care and Adoption Center. As a result, the City needs to lease
space for staff and the animals pending a decision whether the Animal
Care and Adoption Center can be rehabilitated. Staff is currently looking
for a site to lease, and this resolution authorizes the City Manager to enter
into a lease.
