SALONS Continued from page A1
amount will be covered by Reedley's allocation of 2020 CARES Act Coro- navirus Relief funding.
City Manager Nicole Zieba said it was impor- tant for the city to help out the hair shops and nail salons, which under the new state mandate could only remain open by con- ducting business outdoors under strict guidelines.
"Those guidelines are so burdensome, that very few salons and bar- bershops have figure out how to make that work," Zieba said. The biggest handicap for salons is the inability to have water transported outside for hair coloring, shampoos and similar services.
Zieba told the council that the city reached out to businesses to get their preference for what aid they could receive.
The Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District welcomed 15 new ad- ditions to the district's faculty and staff for the 2020-2021 school year.

"Resoundingly, busi- nesses asked for another utility and streetscape [for downtown business- es] forgiveness relief to get by," she said.
Many of the business- es eligible for the relief will be spared having to pay city utility bills (wa- ter, wastewater and solid waste) for five months, starting back in April. This latest three-month program will cover util- ity bills through August.
The majority of the council voiced support before the vote. "Any- thing we can do to help these businesses, I think it's great," said Council Member Ray Soleno.
Zieba also told the council that the city plans to share with them at the Aug. 28 regular meeting the breakdown of doling out the $320,001 of CARES Act Coronavi- rus relief funds.
So far, the city has spent $37,000 in the ini- tial utilities bill relief resolution from May, and now will spend $25,000 on this action. The dis- persal of the CARES Act money will be spread out over six months.
