City of Daly City Small Business Commission Regular Meeting - 7/9/26

The City of Daly City Small Business Commission held a regular meeting on July 9, 2026, focusing on supporting local entrepreneurs and economic development initiatives. Key procurement-related discussions included presentations on resources to help Daly City residents start and grow businesses, including free business classes and capital access events organized by Renaissance. The commission also received an update on the Mission Street Corridor Improvement District, where a shift from a property-based improvement district to a business improvement district was discussed. This change involves businesses, rather than property owners, paying assessment fees to fund beautification, marketing, and homeless abatement services. The district's formation requires city council approval, with a public hearing and vote expected by December 2026. Additionally, the commission discussed the recent ordinance providing a $50 stipend to commissioners for meeting attendance, aiming to improve participation. Other topics included honoring longstanding local businesses and upcoming community events. No specific contract awards or vendor selections were reported, but the discussions on the improvement district and business support programs indicate potential future procurement activities related to economic development and community services.
