Moller, Director of Economic Development SUBJECT: Mad Maggie's Development Assistance PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider an application by Mad Maggie's to participate in the Grease Trap Program and to amend their participation in the Facade Program. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize participation by Mad Maggie's in the Grease Trap Program in the amount of$7,500 and an amendment of their Facade Program participation in the amount of$8,481.51. BACKGROUND Mad Maggie's has been operating as a restaurant/entertainment venue for approximately three months. The process of opening the business involved extensive improvements to both the interior and exterior of 51 South Grove Avenue. The start up of the business has involved an investment of approximately$700,000 by the ownership. The restaurant ownership was required to install a grease trap. Two quotes were received, with the low quote totaling $16,450. Grease Trap Program Guidelines authorize City participation of up to 50% of project costs with a not to exceed value of$7,500. The City's participation in the grease trap assistance for Mad Maggie's would be capped at $7,500. Ownership has also expressed an interest in applying for the Center City Business Loan Program. The nature of their financing would allow them to participate in the program. In August of 2008, the City Council approved the participation of Mad Maggie's in the Facade Program. Eligible facade expenses were estimated to cost $105,820. The restaurant received a grant in the amount of$37,037. The ultimate cost of the facade improvements was $130,052.90. Thus restaurant ownership is eligible to receive an additional $8,481.51 in facade assistance.
