At least seventy(70) new permanent jobs will be created through this grant. 2. Business Types: Emphasis will be on assistance to Weld and Larimer Counties targeted and primary/base industries, namely, light manufacturing, food processing and back office service organizations.

Specify who is responsible for completing defined tasks. Be specific. BLF Administration Larry Burkhardt, President/CEO of Upstate Colorado. Responsible for overall program supervision. BLF Administrator Eric Berglund, Vice President -Finance of Upstate Colorado. Responsible for program management including: CDBG contract compliance, loan application processing, credit analysis, loan packaging, loan committee coordination, environmental clearance, loan closing, loan servicing, financial report, and loan follow-up. BLF Marketing Cathy Schulte, Sr.Vice President of Upstate Colorado. Responsible for marketing the BLF Program through her contacts with business leaders and small business owners as part of Upstate Colorado's overall Existing Industry Retention & Expansion Program. BLF Clerical Susan House(or other party to be identified), Projects Manager of Upstate Colorado. Responsible for acting as receptionist for BLF Program and assisting Eric Berglund with clerical support as needed. 2. Describe the composition of your loan committee. Describe its relationship to the governing board. The County Commissioners in each of the two counties represented by the BLF Program, Weld and Larimer counties, appoint three members to the six-member loan committee. Committee members serve staggered three-year terms. Attachment B lists the current members of the Loan Committee. The BLF Administrator, Eric Berglund, serves as an ex-officio member of the Loan Committee representing Weld County. Lew Wymisner, Director of the Larimer County Employment Office, attends meetings as an ex-officio representative for Larimer County government. Page 7 of 46 The Loan Committee is responsible for reviewing loan packages presented by the BLF Administrator and recommending projects for funding. In recommending a project for funding, the Loan Committee considers the appropriateness of the project to the area, the credit risk, interest rate and term, market potential and economic development benefits. The Loan Committee also established and periodically amends the Loan Policies of the BLF. The BLF Loan Committee updated and revised the Loan Policies at their January 13, 2011 meeting. The Upstate Colorado Board of Directors governs the overall administration of the BLF Program. The BLF Administrator reports loan activity and funding status periodically to the Board. Administrative issues and collection problems are discussed with the Loan Committee, and if necessary, the Board is included in this decision making when legal matters present themselves. 3. Describe the relationship between the BLF and the unit of local government which is sponsoring this application. Upstate Colorado Economic Development administers the Weld/Larimer BLF by a sub-contract agreement with Weld County,the lead applicant. See Attachment C,which is a draft copy of a sub- contract agreement. Two Weld County Commissioners serve as members of the Upstate Colorado Board of Directors as does Monica Daniels-Mika, Director of Finance and Administration for Weld County. These individuals are updated on BLF program activities at Board or Executive Committee Meetings, and the Director of Finance and Administration communicates regularly with Upstate Colorado staff in implementing various BLF activities. 4. Describe the relationship between the BLF and lending institutions in the service area. Since establishment of the Weld/Larimer BLF program in 1990, the BLF has worked to build strong relationships with local lenders. Initially, the BLF had trouble in communicating to lenders the benefits of the BLF. Now that lenders have worked with the program, they understand its benefits to those projects that would not otherwise qualify for conventional financing.We have now built a network of lenders to whom we feel comfortable in referring clients, and who regularly refer clients to us. We constantly take advantage of opportunities to speak to the bankers in Weld and Larimer counties. With the one of the largest bank failures in the United States occurring in our region and many local lenders being under regulatory restrictions, our program has seen a huge increase in activity and interest. We recognize the importance of the lender relationship and many of our local lenders turn to us to help make their deals work. Upstate Colorado plans to continue to market the program to private lenders and business leaders. 5. How does the BLF relate and coordinate with other economic development activities in the area? Since the economic development office for Weld County administers the Weld/Larimer BLF, it is easily integrated into Upstate Colorado's regular program activities. In addition, Upstate Colorado works closely with the Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) at the University of Northern Colorado and Front Range Community College. The SBDC's provide small business and start-up counseling services to Weld and Larimer county residents. Upstate Colorado also works with the many small community economic development programs in the area to assist in all phases of business growth, including gap financing. In Larimer County, Upstate Colorado works with the Northern Colorado Economic Development Page 8 of 46 Corporation(NCEDC)to ensure their existing and prospective employers'needs are addressed. 6.

Page 25 of 46 "COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN" GUIDANCE FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUSINESS LOAN FUNDS Under the 1983 amendments to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, each CDBG applicant(including every jurisdiction participating in a multi-jurisdictional application)is"required to identify its community development and housing needs, including the needs of low and moderate income persons, and the activities to be undertaken to meet such needs". For simplicity,what is required by this provision is referred to as a"Community Development Plan". Applicants have a great deal of flexibility with respect to the content and format of this required Community Development Plan. However, the plan must: Identify the applicant's community development and housing needs, including the needs of low-and moderate-income persons; and Identify the activities to be undertaken during a minimum period of one year to meet the identified needs. In identifying its community development and housing needs, an applicant may simply want to consider the problems, shortcomings, or deficiencies that exist in the community. Existing Comprehensive Plans,Capital Improvements Plans,and similar documents should be used and referenced to the extent that they are applicable. In identifying activities to be undertaken to address the identified needs,the applicants proposed CDBG project can be included as one of the activities to be undertaken. A suggested format for the Plan follows on the next page. Below are some suggested data and issues that applicants may want to consider to identify, to quantify or to describe their needs. The applicant is required to submit a copy of its Community Development Plan with its application for CDBG funds. It is not necessary to submit lengthy supporting documentation, but the applicant must retain the original copy of the Plan and any supporting documentation in its files. Department Staff will review the submitted Plan to ensure that it has the necessary elements and may review any supporting documentation during a subsequent on-site visit. SUGGESTED TYPE OF DATA& ISSUES The following are some suggested types of data and issues that an applicant may want to consider in order to identify, to quantify or to describe its community development and housing needs. It is important to note that these data elements and issues are not needs—but rather provide a framework for identifying needs. Many of the following data elements are available, upon request, from the Department of Local Affairs. Public Facilities and Services * Health or safety hazards associated with deficiencies in water and sewer systems, or the lack of such systems * Health or safety hazards posed by flood and drainage problems * Health or safety hazards resulting from other infrastructure or facilities deficiencies * Other public facility or service deficiencies * Ability of low and moderate income persons to pay for the needed improvements Economic Development * Population (current number and trends) * Unemployment rate(current rate and trends) * Aid to Families with Dependent Children case load (current number and trends) * Per capita income(current amount and trends) * Retail sales (current amount and trends) * Total assessed valuation (current amount and trends) Housing * Housing units lacking some or all plumbing facilities (number and trends) * Median value of owner units(amount and trends) * Median contract rent of rental units(amount and trends) * Median income(amount and trends) * Mortgage loan interest rates(current and trends) * Availability of mortgage loan funds, including under public/subsidized programs Page 26 of 46 G U WY $ ca.-43 .c L a) O a Z ,L P O N co a) ` O O 'd 0 o y = c v a) W e v � 1.12 O- t N �O `O ) LL_ I- d C bp -Op m < .c �O-, 0 ..y, •5 O a > w = a a) a W a 0 cn OL.. as a o - � '; 0 a- J o-Na r u) O C) W y O V C N V C C-E-6.

All replacement housing will be provided within three years of the commencement of the demolition or rehabilitation relating to conversion. Before obligating or expending funds that will directly result in such demolition or conversion, Weld County will make public and submit to the State the following information in writing: 1. Description of the proposed assisted activity; 2. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size(number of bedrooms)that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as low/moderate dwelling units as a direct result of the assisted activity; 3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion; 4. The general location on a map and approximate number of dwelling units by size(number of bedrooms)that will be provided as replacement dwelling units; 5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of replacement dwelling units; and 6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a low/moderate income dwelling unit for at least 10 years from the date of initial occupancy. Weld County will provide relocation assistance, as described in 570.496a(b)(2), to each low/moderate income household displaced by the demolition of housing or by the conversion of a low/moderate income dwelling to another use as a direct result of assisted activities. Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act,Weld County will take the steps indicated below to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:* * The following are examples of steps to minimize displacement. The first two are required. The others are optional. Only check those which are appropriate for the project and local circumstances. Add other steps as necessary or appropriate. X Consider all practical alternatives to any proposed project which may result in residential displacement. Alternatives to be considered include other sites for the proposed facilities/project. Also to be considered are the costs and benefits,both financial and nonfinancial, of each alternative. X Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees to find alternative housing in the community. Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate vacancies for households facing displacement. Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation,working with empty buildings or groups of empty units first so they can be rehabilitated first and tenants moved in before rehab on occupied units or buildings is begun. Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will be of short duration,so they can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new construction.

Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act,Weld County will take the steps indicated below to minimize the displacement of persons from their homes:* * The following are examples of steps to minimize displacement. The first two are required. The others are optional. Only check those which are appropriate for the project and local circumstances. Add other steps as necessary or appropriate. X Consider all practical alternatives to any proposed project which may result in residential displacement. Alternatives to be considered include other sites for the proposed facilities/project. Also to be considered are the costs and benefits,both financial and nonfinancial, of each alternative. X Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees to find alternative housing in the community. Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate vacancies for households facing displacement. _ Stage rehabilitation of assisted housing to allow tenants to remain during and after rehabilitation,working with empty buildings or groups of empty units first so they can be rehabilitated first and tenants moved in before rehab on occupied units or buildings is begun. Establish temporary relocation facilities in order to house families whose displacement will be of short duration,so they can move back to their neighborhoods after rehabilitation or new construction. Page 31 of 46 Evaluate housing codes and rehabilitation standards in reinvestment areas to prevent their placing undue financial burden on long-established owners or on tenants of multi-family buildings. Develop displacement watch systems in cooperation with neighborhood organizations to continuously review neigh orhood development trends, identify displacement problems,and identify individuals facing displacement who n asistarn 14 5111 Tom Donnelly, Chair Lorimer Count oard of County Commissioners Date Page 32 of 46 INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT BUSINESS LOAN FUNDS THIS AGREEMENT, made this 25th day of January, 2011, by and among the following: 1.

Who Must Make the Disclosures? ❑ Any applicant applying for more than $200,000 of CDBG funds. Any applicant applying for less than $200,000 of CDBG funds, but has received or could receive covered assistance from any programs on the attached list.

Applicant/grantee discovers that information was omitted from its initial report or last update report. 2. Additional persons or entities can be identified as interested parties.

Part II asks two questions. If the answer to both questions is"No",the applicant must provide the certification at the end of Part II, but is not required to complete the remainder of the report. If the answer to either question is"Yes",the applicant must complete the remainder of the Report. Part III requires information on any other Federal, State and/or local assistance that is to be used in conjunction with the CDBG project. Part IV requires the identification of interested parties.

The sources and uses must include all the other assistance identified in Part III as well as the CDBG funds identified in Part I, items 3(c) and 3(d).
