Based on RLF assistance prospects identified(see Attachment A), a minimum of one new job per$8,000 will be created with an average closer to one job per$5,000. Assuming a total of$238,000 is placed in the first year, 30 new jobs will be created,with at least 20 of those jobs available to persons in the low to moderate income level using Revised Current (1989)Income Limits for Weld and Larimer counties. 2.

Service and retail business will be considered to only a limited extent if shown to fit other RLF criteria. At least 80% of RLF funds will be committed to assisting targeted enterprises. 3. Minimum&Maximum Amounts: Limits will be set at$10,000 with maximums at$100,000. Requests in excess of $100,000 will be considered for supplemental applications. 4. Leveraging: The leveraging goal of the RLF program will be to leverage at least$4 for every$1 in RLF assistance. Assuming$238,000 is placed, the total leveraged amount in 1990 will reach$952,000. 5.

Please describe your proposed administrative structure. Specify who is responsible for completing defined tasks. Be specific. Weld County will serve as the principal applicant for the Weld-Larimer RLF, with participation of Latimer County by intergovernmental agreement. The functions of administration shall be performed by the Greeley/Weld Economic Development Action Partnership(EDAP),a not-for-profit corporation. Administration will include CDBG reporting, program development and marketing,and loan review/processing. Cathy Schulte,Assistant Director of EDAP. will be responsible for overall RLF administration including marketing coordination with Weld and Larimer economic development agencies and volunteer economic development councils and committees advising local government. A staff assistant,under Ms. Schulte's supervision will provide technical loan application and processing assistance and will monitor loan performance. This individual is yet to be selected,but will have the necessary qualifications to service RLF loans. The County Commissioners of Weld and Larimer will each appoint three persons to a six person loan committee based on nominations received from economic development agencies,councils, and committees from the two counties. 2. Describe the composition of your loan committee. Describe its relationship to a governing board. The Weld-Larimer RLF Loan Committee will be composed of six individuals, not otherwise members of the EDAP Board, or elected officials from either of the counties or the municipalities within the Weld-Latimer service area. Committee membership will include persons active in private sector enterprise with not less than three representing each of the counties, and not less than four representing the areas of banking or business finance. Mr. James Kadlecek, Executive Director of EDAP, will serve as a non-voting ex-officio member of the loan committee. Cathy Schulte will provide staff support to the loan committee. 3. Describe the relationship between the RLF and the unit of local government which is sponsoring this application. As principal applicant for Revolving Loan funds,Weld County will enter into an intergovernmental agreement with Larimer County. This agreement will define the relationship and responsibilities of these two parties to the sponsorship of the RLF,and provide for the subcontract relationship for administration. Under separate subcontract between Weld County and EDAP, specific duties and responsibility for administration and loan committee structure and procedures will be articulated. In compliance with the single audit act,Weld County auditors will be responsible for the audit of CDBG funds. As the administrator, EDAP will maintain all RLF documents on behalf of Weld County. 3 891233 4. Describe the relationship between the RLF and lending institutions in the service area. The RLF administrator(EDAP)and the participating economic development agencies and committees throughout Weld and Larimer counties have strong and well-established relationships with local and regional lenders. In the process of preparing this application several of these lenders have been consulted with enthu- siastic response. Lenders will be represented on the loan committee and will be invited to participate in informal work sessions devoted to the marketing and administration of the RLF program. 5. How does the RLF relate to other economic development activities in the area? The Weld-Larimer RLF will be fully coordinated with other regional economic development activities in the two county area. The business assistance services offered through the Greeley Area Chamber of Commerce, University of Northern Colorado, the University of Colorado,and the Ft. Collins Chamber of Commerce will be utilized to assist RLF prospects and applicants. EDAP also serves as the administrator of the Greeley/Weld Enterprise Zone which extends uniquely into most of the non-entitlement areas of Weld County. Marketing strategies developed for the enterprise zone will extend effectively to include the RLF program. Materials describing business assistance and enterprise zone programs are included with this application. To the best of my knowledge and belief,statements and data in this application are true and correct and its submission with attached Statement of Assurances and Certifications has been duly authorized by the governing body of all participating©© jurisdictions.

Several reports provide the basis of the Plan. The Lorimer County Profile, July 1988, contains general statistics on population, Income unemployment rates and other economic indicators. The Lorimer County Overall Economic Development Plan, November 1988, analyzes local conditions and establishes economic development objectives for Latimer County. The Lorimer County Land Use Plan,January 1988, contains goals and objectives relating to community facilities, housing and economic development. The Community Development Plan also considers inter-departmental memos, staff reports, records of complains and testimony from public meetings and hearings. Outside the County's formal facilities planning process, citizen complaints are the primary vehicle for identifying problems with public facilities and services. In most cases, these problems are tied to residents' inability to pay for necessary improvements through the traditional procedure of forming special improvement districts. The public facility needs identified in the CDC arc such cases. The CDC also considers testimony received at a public forum sponsored by the Larimer County Housing Task Force in November, 1988. The Task Force beard many citizen concerns about affordability of both rental units and home ownership, The Task Force has been meeting regularly since the forum to formulate a strategy to address the needs. The statistics for the County reflect an area that is generally healthy but that has some chronic problems that need to be addressed. Some indicators of these problems are listed below: Mean per capita income for Larimer County has historically trailed both Colorado and the United States: 1984 1985 1986 1987 Larimer County 11557 12947 13531 14017 Colorado 13797 14698 15131 15607 United States 13114 13895 14609 15482 The Unemployment Rate has averaged above 5.5 for the last 4 years. The 1988 estimated rate is 5.6. Population growth has slowed to L9% increase between 1988 and 1989, down from an annual average over 3% at the first pan of the decade. Growth is lowest in the small plains communities. These statistics reflect problems which can be expected to most heavily impact low and moderate income persons in the community. The attached Table presents a summary of identified community development and housing needs, and activities scheduled for 1989-1990 to address these needs. 891233 ■ g / a 13 So ! . - k f k § Z co i Lc 7 7 i. ) ] 1): E j � a 0 g ` \ cc k / \ e B < abG § \ ] 2 \ @ C4 © k \ \ \ ■ k O a \ CI g k i \ \ \ to | ` w \ _ 2 { t ! \ ) / - a E a \ ea r \ 0 \2 \ \ ' 0 O 2 k vo \ \ k 8 § q 1 2 \ C. § § ) $ 2 3 3 \ 2 u c e \ z \ \ \ \ § _ § 2 / e ) \ o I # _ | | | C g \ s 3 - ; 2 �\ ) ) \ o s �\ [ \ / ! 2 $ ` Z / § © 2 § J 5 % ) k e O t ) gg k / j ) ` a B / § c • Z ] b - I $ § 3 ; f § k \ / ] o ) 3 e - e 7 i i 2 % t ; a 5 « ! k . - \ ...... \ ? - \ « 4 k / ii 2 a ti ) \ } % @ % ) ) . 2 2 « 3 k - g uN } w 4 } _ w r _ 8912 38 LARIMER COUNTY RESIDENTIAL ANTIDISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program Larimer County,Colorado (County) will replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low/moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as low/mderate income housing as a direct result of activities assisted with CDBG funds, as required by Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (the Act), and implementing regulations at 24 CFR 570.496a.
