2. Introduction
   The COVID-19 Pandemic has significantly stalled business development in Gilroy. Therefore, it is the desire of the City Council to support local restaurant businesses in creating new outdoor dining spaces, which are now critical to the success of restaurants and food service operations. For restaurant owners, the grant provides outdoor dining furniture, which would allow customers to patronize the business during the County’s current Health Order. For local governments, the potential benefit includes inducing municipal sales tax revenues, which are crucial for maintaining essential services such as police and fire, as well as other County and State emergency services. The aim of the Outdoor Dining Furniture Grant is to provide a mutually beneficial service to all economic stakeholders in the City of Gilroy’s commercial districts. By helping create a safe place to dine, while socially-distancing, there may be a moderate increase in economic synergy for commercial districts.
4. Procedures
   Furniture will be distributed on a first-come-first-serve basis until assets are depleted, there are a total of 60 tables and 120 chairs available. It is expected that a restaurant will apply for an amount between one and four sets. Restaurants should expect the following order of events:
6. 1. Restaurants will start by applying for the grant, opening July 8, 2020, at 8 am  
8. 2. Within two business days, applicants may receive a grant reservation, if approved
10. 3. Restaurants will then pick-up the reserved furniture from the City Annex at a mutually agreed upon time.
12. 4. Restaurants will be required to assemble the furniture at their place of business.
14. We hope to see many businesses apply and we look forward to working with you to improve your business and our City.
