An item on the Norman City Council meeting agenda drew discussion and a no-vote from one of its members Tuesday night.
Several councilors questioned the use of funds for a vaccination program which has been set aside for the cityâs Small Business Relief Program. Nearly 300 businesses received $10,000 in grants from the cityâs apportionment of Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds but approximately $55,000 remains after businesses failed to qualify.
The item was on the consent docket and although the council adopted it 7-1, Ward 6 Elizabeth Foreman said her constituents did not favor the move. Ward 2 Matt McGarry was absent.

According to a staff report, $55,000 remains unspent from the $6.5 million in Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Recovery (CARES) Act funds the city received last fall. Some money remains in the Small Business Relief Program account after businesses âfailed to meet the guidelines of the program,â the report reads.
