Mayors and other municipal representatives of cities throughout Orange County will speak at the Orange County Board of Supervisors special meeting on Tuesday, May 26, to advocate for cities directly receiving and administering pandemic relief funding for local businesses.
Board Chair Michelle Steel and Supervisor Donald P. Wagner have put forward a proposal to allocate $75 million in CARES Act funding to a Business Recovery Grant Program to be administered by cities. The Board considered the proposal last week but didn’t make a decision. Prior to that meeting, the mayors of 31 Orange County cities signed a letter in support of this approach. The letter is available at www.santa-ana.org/sites/default/files/OCBOS%20-%20Letter%20of%20Support%20Item%20S68A.pdf
Because of the limited space in the Board Hearing Room for social distancing, Santa Ana Mayor Miguel A. Pulido has invited the mayors and other municipal officials and staff to use the Santa Ana City Council Chamber as a staging area before Tuesday’s meeting.
