RE: CDBG APPLICATION TO PROVIDE SMALL BUSINESS ASSISTANCE FUNDS; AWARD
CDBG LOAN TO POULSEN ACE HARDWARE; DETERMINE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
AND HOUSING NEEDS; AND RECEIVE INPUT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF WELD
COUNTY IN CARRYING OUT ITS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
A public hearing was conducted on April 25, 1994, at 9:00 a.m. , with the
following present:
Commissioner W. H. Webster, Chairman
Commissioner Dale K. Hall, Pro-Tem
Commissioner George E. Baxter
Commissioner Constance L. Harbert
Commissioner Barbara J. Kirkmeyer
Also present:
Acting Clerk to the Board, Shelly Miller
Assistant County Attorney, Bruce Barker
Director of Finance and Administration, Donald Warden
The following business was transacted:
I hereby certify that pursuant to a notice dated April 13, 1994, and duly
published April 14, 1994, in the Windsor Beacon, a public hearing was
conducted to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and
questions related to: 1) The proposed Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) application for small business assistance funds; 2) The award of a
$100, 000 CDBG loan to Poulsen Ace Hardware of Eaton on 3/17/94; 3)
Community development and housing needs, including the needs of low and
moderate income persons, as well as other needs in the community that
might be addressed through the CDBG program; and 4) The performance of the
County of Weld in carrying out its community development responsibilities.
Donald Warden, Director of Finance and Administration, made this a matter
of record. He explained Weld County is sponsoring the grant and Economic
Development Action Partnership (EDAP) is administering it. Mr. Warden
stated the CDBG application is for $250,000 for the Weld/Larimer Revolving
Loan Fund (RLF) . He explained the second issue concerns $100,000, which
was granted to Poulsen on March 17, 1994, and the third and fourth issues
concern community development housing needs and the performance of the
County in carrying out its responsibilities. Bill Argo and Jodi Hartman
of EDAP were present, and Ms. Hartman explained the small-business
benefits and an activity report which she submitted to the Board. She
explained their primary objective is to create jobs for low to moderate
income people. Responding to questions from the Board, Ms. Hartman
indicated they work with defaulting companies significantly to arrange
flexibility in payment terms and in some cases liquidate assets. Mr. Argo
indicated the RLF Loan Committee consists of three members each from Weld
County and Larimer County, and they track cash flow very closely. Ms.
Hartman stated she had attended a National conference concerning the RLF
program and learned that up to 75 percent default on loans. She explained
HUD is changing its criteria to eliminate some risks; however, the State
of Colorado is doing very well considering the program is very high-risk.
Mr. Argo reiterated that the loan committee is very tough on its
applicants and requires proof of need and ability to repay. No public
testimony was offered concerning this matter. Mr. Warden indicated the
Board should approve and sign the CDBG application for $250, 000, confirm
the Poulsen Contract, and close out the documents for the RLF.
Commissioner Harbert so moved, and Commissioner Kirkmeyer seconded the
motion which carried unanimously.

Please describe how the proposed RLF policies address the following required elements:
1. Job Creation: The focus of assistance will be on gap financing of new and existing business expansions
which result in job creation. Based on RLF assistance prospects identified (see Attachment A),
a minimum of one new job per$10,000 will be created with an average closer to one job per
$8,000. Assuming a total of$250,000 is placed in the first year,25 new jobs will be created,
with at least 13 of those jobs available to persons in the low to moderate income level.
2. Business Types: Emphasis will be on assistance to manufacturing/processing/distribution oriented businesses.
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 manufacturing/processing/
distribution type enterprises.
3. Minimum & Maximum Amounts: Limits will be set at a minimum of$10,000 with maximums at$100,000.
Requests in excess of$100,000 will be referred to OBD for direct funding.
4. Leveraging: The leveraging goal of the RLF program will be to leverage at least$2 for every$1 in RLF
assistance. Assuming$250,000 is placed, the total leveraged amount in 1994-95 will reach
$500,000.
5. Rates&Terms: Typical rates and terms will be at or below local prime,but not less than 3% over a 5 to
7 year term.
6. Fees: The application process fee will be$50 regardless of amount;closing fees will be 2%of the total RLF
assistance.
7. Use of Proceeds: Proceeds will include application and closing fees, and recovered principal and interest.
All such proceeds will be used to further develop the program and re-capitati7P the fund.
8. Collateral Requirements: All forms of assistance will be collateralized,but as "gap financing" may,of
necessity, assume a second or third position.
9. Types of Assistance: (Loans, Equity, guarantees, etc.) RLF assistance will be primarily in the form of loans,
including amortized and interest only variations. Consideration will also be given to
lease-back arrangements and credit enhancement/guarantee strategies to increase
leveraging capability.

Program.
RLF Clerical: Laura Sullivan,Administrative Assistant of EDAP. Responsible for acting
as receptionist for RLF Program and assisting Jodi Hartmann with clerical
support as needed.
2. Describe the composition of your loan committee. Describe its relationship to a governing board.
The County Commissioners in each of the two counties represented by the RLF Program,Weld and Larimer County,
appoint three members to the six-member loan committee. Attachment B lists the members of the current loan committee.
The RLF Administrator,Bill Argo,serves as an ex-officio member of the loan committee. Committee members serve
staggering three-year terms.
The Loan Committee is responsible for reviewing loan packages presented by the RLF Manager 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 RLF.
The overall administration of the RLF Program is governed by the MAP Board of Directors. The RLF Manager reports
loan activity and funding status at the Board's monthly business meeting. Administrative issues and collection
problems are discussed with the Board,and if necessary,the Loan Committee is included in decision making.

940373
3. Describe the relationship between the RLF and the unit of local government which is sponsoring this
application.
The Weld/Larimer RLF is administered by the Greeley/Weld Economic Development Action Partnership(EDAP)by a
sub-contract agreement with Weld County,the lead applicant See Attachment C which is a copy of a previously
executed sub-contract agreement.
A Weld County Commissioner serves as a member of the EDAP Board of Directors as does the Director of Finance
and Administration for Weld County. Both of these individuals are updated monthly on RLF program activities at
EDAP Board Meetings,and the Director of Finance communicates regularly with EDAP staff in implementing
various RLF activities.
4. Describe the relationship between the RLF and lending institutions in the service area.
Since establishment of the Weld/Larimer RLF program in 1990,the RLF has worked to build
working relationships with local lenders.Initially,the RLF experienced some difficulty in communicating
to lenders the benefits of the RLF. Once lenders worked with the program however,they understood its
benefits to those projects which could not qualify for conventional financing,and we began to receive referrals
from lenders. We've now built a modest network of lenders which we feel comfortable in referring clients to,
and who regularly refer clients to us.
We recognize the importance of the lender relationship and that them is mom for improvement in our RLF.
EDAP plans to continue to market the program to private lenders and business leaders. Also,as we
continue to streamline and improve the application process for RLF loans we feel our credibility will
improve even further.
5. How does the RLF relate to other economic development activities in the area?
Since the Weld/Larimer RLF is administered by the economic development office for Weld County,it is
easily integrated into EDAP's regular program activities. In addition,EDAP works closely with the
Small Business Development Center(SBDC)at the Greeley/Weld Chamber of Commerce. The SBDC
provides small business and start-up counseling services to Weld County residents.
In Larimer County,EDAP works with the Small Business Development Center in Loveland in
referring clients to the RLF,as well as communicates with the Larimer County Economic Development
CounciL The economic development offices of Loveland and Fort Collins also work with the RLF by
referring clients.
6. Please attach a proposed project list. The list should include: type of project; amount requested;
and status.

Please describe how the proposed RLF policies address the following required elements:
1. Job Creation: The focus of assistance will be on gap financing of new and existing business expansions
which result in job creation. An average of one new job per$12,000 will be created . Assuming a
total of$100,000 is placed in the first year, 8 new jobs will be created, with at least 5 of those jobs
available to persons in the low to moderate income level.
2. Business Types: Emphasis will be on assistance to manufacturing/processing/distribution oriented businesses.
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 manufacturing/processing/
distribution type enterprises.
3. Minimum & Maximum Amounts: Limits will be set at a minimum of$10,000 with maximums at$100,000.
Requests in excess of$100,000 will be referred to O13D for direct funding.
4. Leveraging: The leveraging goal of the RLF program will be to leverage at least$2 for every $1 in RLF
assistance. Assuming $100,000 is placed,the total leveraged amount in 1994-95 will reach
$200,000 or more.
5. Rates&Terms: Typical rates and terms will be at or below local prime, but not less than 3% over a 5 to
7 year term.
6. Fees: The application process fee will be$50 regardless of amount;closing fees will be 2% of the total RLF
assistance.
7. Use of Proceeds: Proceeds will include application and closing fees, and recovered principal and interest.
All such proceeds will be used to further develop the program and re-capitalize the fund.
8. Collateral Requirements: All forms of assistance will be collateralized, but as "gap financing" may,of
necessity, assume a second or third position.
9. Types of Assistance: (Loans, Equity, guarantees, etc.) RLF assistance will be primarily in the form of loans,
including amortized and interest only variations. Consideration will also be given to
lease-back arrangements and credit enhancement/guarantee strategies to increase
leveraging capability.

Management
1. Please describe your proposed administrative structure. Specify who is responsible for completing
defined tasks. Be specific.
RLF Administrator: William J.Argo,CID,President of EDAP. Responsible for overall program and
sign-off official.
RLF Manager: Jodi Hartmann,Vice President of EDAP. 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 reporting,and loan follow-up.
RLF Marketing: Cathy Schulte,Senior V.President of EDAP. Responsible for marketing the
RLF program through her contacts with business leaders and small business
owners as part of EDAP's overall Existing Industry Retention&Expansion
Program.
RLF Clerical: Laura Sullivan,Administrative Assistant of EDAP. Responsible for acting
as receptionist for RLF Program and assisting Jodi Hartmann with clerical
support as needed.
2. Describe the composition of your loan committee. Describe its relationship to a governing board.
The County Commissioners in each of the two counties represented by the RLF Program,Weld and Larimer County,
appoint three members to the six-member loan committee. Attachment A lists the members of the current loan committee.
The RLF Administrator,Bill Argo,serves as an ex-officio member of the loan committee. Committee members serve
staggering three-year terms.
The Loan Committee is responsible for reviewing loan packages presented by the RLF Manager 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 RLF.
The overall administration of the RLF Program is governed by the EDAP Board of Directors. The RLF Manager reports
loan activity and funding status at the Board's monthly business meeting. Administrative issues and collection
problems are discussed with the Board,and if necessary,the Loan Committee is included in decision making.

3. Describe the relationship between the RLF and the unit of local government which is sponsoring this
application.
The Weld/Larimer RLF is administered by the Greeley/Weld Economic Development Action Partnership(EDAP)by a
sub-contract agreement with Weld County.
A Weld County Commissioner serves as a member of the EDAP Board of Directors as does the Director of Finance
and Administration for Weld County. Both of these individuals are updated monthly on RLF program activities at
EDAP Board Meetings,and the Director of Finance communicates regularly with EDAP staff in implementing
various RLF activities.
4. Describe the relationship between the RLF and lending institutions in the service area.
Since establishment of the Weld/Larimer RLF program in 1990,the RLF has worked to build
working relationships with local lenders.Initially,the RLF experienced some difficulty in communicating
to lenders the benefits of the RLF. Once lenders worked with the program however,they understood its
benefits to those projects which could not qualify for conventional financing,and we began to receive referrals
from lenders. We've now built a modest network of lenders which we feel comfortable in referring clients to,
and who regularly refer clients to us.
We recognize the importance of the lender relationship and that there is room for improvement in our RLF.
EDAP plans to continue to market the program to private lenders and business leaders. Also,as we
continue to streamline and improve the application process for RLF loans we feel our credibility will
improve even further.
5. How does the RLF relate to other economic development activities in the area?
Since the Weld/Larimer RLF is administered by the economic development office for Weld County,it is
easily integrated into EDAP's regular program activities. In addition,EDAP works closely with the
Small Business Development Center(SBDC)at the Greeley/Weld Chamber of Commerce. The SBDC
provides small business and start-up counseling services to Weld County residents.
6. Please attach a proposed project list. The list should include: type of project; amount requested;
and status.

low/moderate income dwelling units demolished or converted to a use other than as
low/moderate 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.
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, the County of Weld 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 form the date of initial
occupancy.
The County of Weld 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, the County of
Weld 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, moth financial and nonfinancial, of each alternative.
X Provide counseling and referral services to assist displacees find alternative
housing in the community.
X Work with area landlords and real estate brokers to locate vacancies for
households facing displacement.
9403'78
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.
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 organ-
_
izations to continuously review neighborhood development trends, identify
displacement problems, and identify individuals facing displacement who need
assistance.

PUBLIC NOTICE AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Docket No. 94-36
The County of Weld plans to submit a Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) application to the State of Colorado, Office of Business Development.
CDBG funds are intended to provide decent housing, suitable living environments
and economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons
through rehabilitation and preservation, economic/job development and public
facility improvements. It is estimated that $10,588, 000 will be available
statewide for the "Small Cities" CDBG program. Approximately one-third of the
appropriation will be available for economic development projects.
The application being considered would request $250,000 for small business
assistance to companies located in the non-entitlement areas of Weld and Larimer
Counties. It is estimated that approximately 51% of the funds would benefit low
and moderate income persons. Permanent involuntary displacement of neighborhood
persons or businesses is not anticipated. Should it later become necessary to
consider such displacement, alternatives will be examined to minimize the
displacement. If no feasible alternatives exist, required/reasonable benefits
will be provided to those displaced to mitigate adverse effects and hardships.
Any low and moderate income housing which is demolished or converted will be
replaced.
A public hearing will be held at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, April 25, 1994, in
the first floor hearing room, Weld County Centennial Complex, 915 10th Street,
Greeley, Colorado, to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and
questions related to:
► The proposed CDBG application for small business
assistance funds.
► The award of a $100, 000 CDBG loan to Poulsen Ace
Hardware of Eaton on 3/17/94.
► Community development and housing needs, including the
needs of low and moderate income persons, as well as
other needs in the community that might be addressed
through the CDBG program.
► The performance of the County of Weld in carrying out
its community development responsibilities.
310378
Written comments are also welcome and must be received by April 25, 1994,
at 915 Tenth Street, Greeley, Colorado 80631. Oral and written comments will
be considered in deciding whether to submit an application for the proposed
project. Written summary information will be available at Room 316, 915 Tenth
Street, Greeley, Colorado, on April 13, 1994, until April 25, 1994, at which time
a CDBG application shall be submitted to the state. Information on the
application and request for financial assistance will be available for public
review at the offices of the Weld/Larimer Revolving Loan Fund, 810 9th Street,
2nd Floor, Greeley, after April 30, 1994.

companies located in the non-entitlement areas of Weld and Larimer Counties. It is estimated that
approximately 51% of the funds would benefit low and moderate income persons. Permanent
involuntary displacement of neighborhood persons or businesses is not anticipated. Should it later
become necessary to consider such displacement, alternatives will be examined to minimize the
displacement. If no feasible alternatives exist, required/reasonable benefits will be provided to
those displaced to mitigate adverse effects and hardships. Any low and moderate income housing
which is demolished or converted will be replaced.
