approximately $1,100,000 in relief funds. City Manager Raulston said that a

to COVID-19 and the City must take the risk for any ineligible uses.

guidance to people who are trying to open or maintain their businesses.

gave at Paradise Valley Hospital; for implementing and achieving signage goal for
