On Monday, July 27, the City will initiate the Restarting Business Assistance Program. Under this program, the City Council has allocated $60,000 to assist eligible small businesses that have purchased sanitation improvements, such as gloves, face coverings, contactless payment systems, partitions, sneeze guards, and disposable menus, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under this program, businesses can receive grants of up to 80% of the improvement costs, or $3,000 (whichever is less).
Applications will be available on the

Temporary Eviction Moratorium Extended through August
The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors has extended an emergency moratorium on eviction for nonpayment of rent by
residential tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic until August 31, 2020.
This action places a temporary, countywide moratorium on evictions from residential units
for: (1) non-payment of rent by tenants directly impacted by the novel coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic; and (2) certain no-fault causes unless the eviction is necessary for the health and safety of the tenant, other residents in the tenant's building, the landlord, or the landlord's family.

Remote Work Benefits Air Quality, Employers, and Employees
During the shelter-in-place, many Bay Area companies implemented work from home policies and procedures. As a result, air quality has dramatically improved!
To keep air quality moving in the right direction, the Air District has launched the Spare the Air
Cut the Commute Pledge to encourage employers to commit to extending commute-free options after COVID-19 restrictions are eased or lifted by at least 25% for employees whose work requirements allow for that flexibility. In addition to greatly reducing air pollution, implementing a new program or continuing to offer an existing remote work program at your workplace has
many other benefits.
Together, it is possible to have a large impact on creating cleaner and healthier air quality in the Bay Area.
Click here to learn more and take the pledge. For more information on Spare the Air Alerts visit sparetheair.org, or to sign up for text alerts, text the word “START” to the number 817-57.

The Future is Electric: How to Eliminate Fossil Fuels from Your Home
Tuesday, July 28, 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
All-electric home appliances are a growing trend as more and more cities consider building codes that require electric appliances in new buildings. Products like heat pumps and induction ranges are cleaner, safer, and higher performing than their natural gas counterparts. And even though they have been widely available internationally, they are becoming more popular in California, and some have huge rebate offerings.
We are fortunate in Burlingame that our electricity is mostly carbon free thanks to
Peninsula Clean Energy, our energy provider whose mission is to purchase clean and renewable electricity. With clean electricity, all-electric appliances avoid the greenhouse gas emissions and related pollution and risks associated with natural gas appliances.
Learn more about all-electric appliances and rebates at this upcoming webinar.
