This effort is aimed at strengthening the cityÓs vitality in terms of market share and physical appearance. Working with the City, the CVEDA has designed a Revolving Loan and Grant Program (RLGP). The RLGP is aimed at improving the utility and appearance of downtown businesses while encouraging the leveraging of private investment which would otherwise not occur. The program has two distinct components: Loan and Grant. The program is designed to address business redevelopment needs throughout the city. The Centerville CVEDA established an initial $50,000 loan/grant pool, through an earmark of the cityÓs Housing and Redevelopment Authority funds, administered by Anoka County. This pool of money may be used for either the Grant or Loan Portion of the program. The Centerville RLGP is operated with the following program goals: Provide affordable financing or grant funds to small businesses for program eligible real estate improvements. Target downtown businesses along Centerville Road and Main Street with other businesses located in the City also being eligible. Serve as a catalyst to leverage private resources. Require that improvements be consistent with city code. For businesses within the M-1 & M-2 zoning districts, this includes the design guidelines referenced in city code. Require businesses receiving funds to be compliant with existing city code or to come into compliance in the course of the improvements proposed. This includes code related to signage, parking, screening and other exterior regulations. Whether the interior of the building needs to come into compliance with the building code shall be governed by the building code and related city code. Structures which qualify as legal nonconformities may remain. The program is administered by the EDA under the guidance of policies set by the City Council and EDA. The City of Centerville EDA is responsible for: Determining individual applicantÓs eligibility based on: - Location of property to be improved; - Improvement scope; - Compliance with City Codes and Ordinances. Determining schedule for submission of competitive funding applications and scoring criteria for the award of loans and grants when there are more applications than funds. Distribution of program information to area businesses. 2 Referral of applicants to local banks. Participation agreements with local banks. Financial institutions are responsible for: Receipt and processing of loan applications. Provision of matching loan funds at least equal to funds to be provided from the CityÓs RLGP. Underwriting to determine applicantÓs credit risk and required collateral. Determining loan amortization period. Approval or disapproval of loan subject to City certification as to program eligibility. Collection of lien waivers and other documents deemed necessary for loan disbursements. Distribution of loan funds subject to final approval by the CVEDA. Distribution of principal and interest payments to the CVEDA RLGP. On default, the claims of the CVEDA are subordinate to the financial institution. II. PROGRAM OBJECTIVE The purpose of the RLGP is to provide businesses with an incentive to increase their investment in the community by making structural and beautification improvements to existing buildings. The RLGP will not provide working capital loans nor fund operating expenses. III. PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES OF PROGRAM AREA To be eligible for the RLGP, the property must be located within the City limits. IV. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION AND STRUCTURE Administration will be shared by the EDA and participating financial institutions. The EDA, as the programÓs administrator, will maintain and update program guidelines and monitor their compliance. Administration of the EDAÓs responsibility will be under the direction of the EDAÓs Executive Director and Assistant Treasurer. Servicing of RLGP loans shall be administered by local banks and savings and loans which make application to the EDA. All such institutions must be within 15 miles of the corporate limits of the City. The RLGP will operate as a public/private sector partnership. The financial base of $50,000 for the public share of RLGP funds will come from Housing and Redevelopment Authority funds, administered by Anoka County on behalf of the City. The fund will be replenished by an annual contribution of $10,000 from HRA income and any interest and principal repayments resulting from outstanding loans. 3 V. IMPROVEMENT REVIEW PROCESS Prior to being given loan or grant approval, the applicant shall receive a positive recommendation from the CVEDA. The EDA shall review proposed plans and the existing exterior condition of the property being improved. The EDA shall base its recommendation upon the projectÓs consistency with program objectives and city code, including, where applicable, design guidelines. The applicant may appeal any recommendation of the EDA to the City Council. In the event of limited funds, priority will be given to projects which score the highest on the programÓs application scoring worksheet. VI. CONTRACTING AND CONSTRUCTION The applicant shall prepare or have prepared a detailed Scope of Work, which will also be the projectÓs bidding document. The Scope of Work will be submitted to the CVEDA and the participating financial institution (for loan projects). The Scope of Work shall include: A detailed description of the work to be undertaken; Estimates of the quantity and materials to be used in the project; Qualified licensed contractor(s) The cost of having the Scope of Work prepared shall be reimbursable to the applicant from the loan or grant proceeds. No RLGP loan or grant will be approved until an adequate Scope of Work/Bidding Document is submitted and approved by designated EDA staff. The applicant must receive and submit at least two itemized competitive bids for all work to be completed and materials to be purchased with the loan or grant funds. The bids will be reviewed and filed by the city (grant program) or financial institution (loan program) to establish that they are competitive and address the work identified in the Scope of Work. The city or financial institution may waive the requirement for two competitive bids if it is impractical to obtain a second bid. The EDA, through the City Building Inspector, shall monitor the quality and progress of all work funded through the Program. Request(s) for payment (up to three partial payments and one final payment) by the applicant for completed work and supplied materials shall be in writing to the financial institution (or city, for grant-only projects). Partial payments shall not exceed 90 percent of the total project amount. The final payment shall be held until a certificate of completion is obtained from the City and submitted to the financial institution. Upon submission and approval of a written request for the release of loan funds, designated EDA staff will, in writing, authorize the financial institution to release the requested funds. All work must be inspected by the City Building Inspector to ensure conformance with code and must be verified for proper completion by City staff to ensure compliance with specifications prior to final payment. The final inspection cannot be scheduled until all permits taken out have been signed off by field inspectors. Upon satisfactory completion, a certificate of completion will be granted. 4 All work must be completed within 12 months of issuance of a building permit unless written permission of an extension is granted by designated EDA staff and financial institution (for loan projects). This action does not constitute an extension to any other deadlines imposed by permits or other regulation. All eligible improvement work performed pursuant to an approved RLGP loan or grant must provide a 12-month warranty from the date of accepted completion by the loan recipient and the EDA. This warranty must cover the quality of materials used and workmanship in performing the work. This warranty is the responsibility of the recipient and shall meet the requirements and definitions in MN State Statute, Chapter 327A. VII. LOAN PROGRAM The Loan portion of the RLGP will provide one-half of each small business loan up to a maximum of $20,000 (from the fund) at an interest rate of two percent, provided that funds are available. Multiple loans may be made to businesses, provided that the principal balance does not exceed $20,000 (from the fund) at any time, and also provided that all payments of principal and interest are current. Local banks will execute participation agreements with the EDA to carry out their participation in accord with these guidelines. VIII. LOAN STRUCTURE A.
