CITY MANAGER’S UPDATE:
City Manager Jim Vanderpool announced the Anaheim Small Business Relief Grant Program, funded by
the Orange County Board of Supervisors, would accept applications for up to $5,000 to assist small
businesses affected by Coronavirus with payroll, working capital, equipment, and operating expenses.
He noted the program was available citywide, including for non-profit, home-based businesses. Priority
will be given to new applicants, businesses that did not receive any assistance in 2020 from an Anaheim-
based program. If sufficient funds are available after all new applicants are addressed, previously-
assisted applicants may be considered. Mr. Vanderpool announced applications could be submitted
starting Wednesday, February 10, 2021; if the number of applications received within the initial two-week
application period exceeds available funds, a lottery will be conducted. More information is available at
www.anaheim.net, Coronavirus icon, Get Help, Small Business Grants.
Mr. Vanderpool reported the City was receiving questions regarding the Emergency Rental Assistance
Program. He noted the federal government awarded funds to the City for the program on January 29
and staff would seek Council direction at the next meeting on February 16 on how to implement the
program, with the intention to get the funds out quickly to those in need of rental assistance.
He gave kudos to the Anaheim Police West Community Policing Team for their participation in Magnolia
School District food distribution events and for providing backpacks, school supplies, and fun items to
kids.
