Weld County C 971966 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WELD COUNTY, COLORADO u Georg E. Baxter, Chair nstance L. Harbert. Pro-Te Dale K. Hall EXCUSED Barbara J. Kirkmeyer FI0009 C lonid c Timm O)ipahi uh/ k link -/MI I —WSW —ter GREELEY/ WELD Memo TO: Don Warden FROM: Jodi Hartmann DATE: 9/6/97 RE: CDBG Contract Application Enclosed are four original copies of our application for a new CDBG Application for George Baxter's signature. I will return an original copy to you once Larimer County and OBD have executed. A few comments: • The only thing I need from you for the application is completion of the Community Development Plan (pink document). If you have a different form you use, just insert it in place of the pink copy and have George sign it (one for each application). • The reason we're applying for such a large grant right up front is that I have two RLF loans already approved by the RLF Loan Committee for a total of $320,000 (pending final approval by OBD). I've also planned for the potential Applied Films "grant" which OBD said they'd cover with additional CDBG funds if approved locally. By the way, that issue (Applied Films) is to be discussed at an RLF Loan Committee meeting on September 16. If you have comments regarding the County's position you might want to call Bill before that date. • The Larimer County hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, September 16. • Please have your staff call Laura to come pick this up when it's ready. I will be calling the office on Monday and Tuesday. If you have any questions or concerns leave a message for me and I'll call back. Thanks for your help! P.S. Bill is not planning to come to the hearing. GREELEY/WELD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTION PARTNERSHIP INC. 822 Seventh Street. Suite 550.

OTHER FUNDS REQUESTED OR COMMITED: None 3 971066 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 $20,000 will be created. Assuming a total of $435,000 is placed in the first year, 22 new jobs will be created with at least 12 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 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 final FRC approval. 4. Leveraging: The leveraging goal of the RLF program will be to leverage at least $2 for every $1 in RLF assistance. Assuming $435,000 is placed, the total leveraged amount in 1997-98 will reach $870,000. 5. Rates & Terms: Typical rates and terms will be at or below national 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 tale 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. 4 971966 Past Performance CDBG Funds Received: $1,550,164 Program Income Generated: $1,330,550 Other Funds Received: Administration (FDAP Match) $174,582 Loans (Private Inv.

Please describe your proposed administrative structure. Specify who is responsible for completing defined tasks. Be specific. RLF Administration: William J. Argo, CID, President of EDAP. Responsible for overall program. RLF Administrator: 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 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 current members of the loan committee. The RLF Administrator, Bill Argo, serves as an ex -officio member of the loan committee. Committee members serve staggering three-year terms. Lew Wymisner, Director of the Larimer County Employment Office and a member of the Larimer Co. Economic Development Council, attends members as an ex -officio representative for Larimer Co. government. The Loan Committee is responsible for reviewing loan packages presented by the RLF 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 RLF. The overall administration of the RLF Program is governed by the EDAP Board of Directors. The RLF Administrator 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. 5 971966 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 Don Warden, 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 to whom 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. 5. Flow 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 Aims Community College. The SBDC provides small business and start-up counseling services to Weld County residents. EDAP 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, 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.

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 facilities improvements. It is estimated that $10,917,000 will be available statewide for the 1997 "Small Cities" CDBG program. Approximately one-third of the appropriation will be available for economic development projects. The application being considered would request $650,000 for the Weld/Larimer Revolving Loan Fund 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 Wednesday, September 3, 1997, 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 • 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 Weld County in carrying out its community development responsibilities. the performance of Weld County in carrying out its responsibilities under its previous CDBG Grant for small business assistance to companies in Weld and Larimer Counties which is currently being closed out.
