Local Business and Residential Relief Actions Taken by City Council

At the April 22nd City Council meeting, Council approved various actions in an attempt to help support local businesses and residents during the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Council hopes the following measures will provide a little extra support:

  • 2020 Business Certificate fees will be waived for all businesses.
  • No Solana Energy Alliance (SEA) customers will be sent to collections for non-payment.
  • All Short-Term Vacation Rental permit renewals will be charged at the 2018 rate ($17 renewal fee), which is lower than the rates initially approved by Council for 2020 ($56 renewal fee).
  • Sewer rates that were scheduled for a possible increase will instead remain at current levels.

In addition, the City will waive permit fees for those who were affected by the recent landslides from the heavy rains and who need to apply for grading permits.

The City has a resource page with links to a variety of Federal, State, and regional business resources.
