part of the budget approved through the UR process, then yes. But if the project was approved with out the inclusion of business expenses such as rent or utilities, I would say no.

<p class="xmsonormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xmsonormal">After the call ended, I started to think about Sarah Lu’s question. The match part of it was unfamiliar to me, so I checked in with our City Manager to get his thoughts. As far as either of us know, there are no legal reasons (at least
at the state level) that disallow any type of funding to be used for a match for URA $. In fact, there aren’t any legal reasons that a match must be made at all to tap into URA $ (our two active URAs have no such requirements). The answer to these questions
would be best directed to the URA’s governing body to determine if they have any policies in place about whether a match is required and/or what types of funds could qualify as a match.

<p class="xmsonormal">Thank you to everyone who were able to join our weekly check-in call this morning and to our wonderful e.d. from Beaverton, Kevin, for facilitating the discussion. Here’s the notes:<o:p></o:p></p>

<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="mso-list:l2 level1 lfo1"><u>Protests</u>: several of our communities did have groups protesting over the weekend in light of the recent horrific loss of George Floyd’s life. In Klamath Falls, they experienced protests for
two separate issues one on water rights and the other for Black Lives Matter. Astoria also had protests but not in downtown. And Beaverton’s was by invite only. This led to a discussion on what main street organizations can and should do in terms of messaging
in troubled times. There is a desire to be welcoming to all, supporting the right for freedom of speech, but also respecting the business and property owners who have invested so much in their communities. Darin shared the messages from Klamath Falls Downtown
Association:<o:p></o:p></li></ol>

pizza place where people can order a pizza and have it delivered to their table. Also, they had to find a new home for the Farmers Market because of a street construction project underway. The Cider House has a large area in the back (a former nature center)
which will be the new home.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="xmsolistparagraph" style="mso-list:l1 level2 lfo4">Business closures: starting to see a few in the network but some aren’t related to Covid but other personal or business circumstances.

www.oregon4biz.com</a>. It is a list of PPE manufacturers or distributors they collected that may be helpful for Oregon small businesses to source from as they ready to reopen. These companies have provided the information to Business Oregon, but they have
not independently verified company capabilities or inventories. People need to contact these companies directly if they are interested in purchasing or working with them. Business Oregon’s next step will be the Connectory resource which will also be live soon.
The Connectory is a larger list that includes more businesses up and down the supply chain of PPE manufacturing and distribution, while this list is focused on companies that can provide PPE in smaller quantities directly to small business right now as they
work to reopen. <o:p></o:p></p>
