At a Monday, May 10, meeting, the Hermiston City Council unanimously voted 6-0 to direct city staff to work with the Greater Hermiston Chamber of Commerce on developing the Restaurant Assistance Pilot Program, or RAPP.
Inspired by a similar initiative the city did with Hermiston Cinema and the Desert Lanes bowling alley over the summer, the program would use $50,000 from the latest COVID-19 federal relief package to create gift certificates redeemable at Hermiston restaurants.
Assistant City Manager Mark Morgan said the city still needed to finalize the details with the chamber, but staff wanted to get the program funded before the end of the fiscal year in June.
