  4. Establishing the fund • When - In 1989 OCEDC started planning the O'Brien County Revolving Loan Fund • Purpose - to further the public purpose of economic development • Outcome - the creation of new jobs and income, or the retention of existing jobs and income that would otherwise be lost.

  5. Initial Funding • Initial funding for the revolving loan fund was through contributions made from each of the 8 communities in O’Brien County and the O’Brien County Board of Supervisors. Contributions were established on a per capita source based on a 1980 consensus

  6. Beginning Balance • 4 years after the initial plan was set in motion, the RLF was first operational in April of 1993 with a beginning fund balance of $60,711.91

  7. Review Process • Applications to the IRP program will be reviewed by the Revolving Loan Fund Program committee facilitated by the O’Brien County Economic Development Corporation. This committee is comprised of 6 financial lenders within the county:

  8. Lending Limits • The RLF fund is for GAP Financing • Total O’Brien County RLF funds requested should not exceed 33.333% of the total projects costs with a maximum loan per project of $100,000

  9. RLF uses or purposes Revolving Loan funds may be used for the following: • Land Purchases • Building Purchases • Building Construction • Machinery Purchases • Equipment Purchases • Any other uses deemed appropriate by the RL Committee

  10. Terms • Typically the review committee approves a 10 year amortization with a 5 year balloon. • Applicants can request interest only payments for the first 3-6 months, typically during the construction phase.

  11. Collateral Requirements • O’Brien County maintains at least a second position on realty, personal guarantee or intangibles in an amount equal to the loan.

  12. Value of loan position • Hotel • Lender had 1st • OCEDC had 2nd • Lender borrowed more money and took 3rd • Bank Forecloses • OCEDC received our payoff in full

  13. Application Costs: • A $50.00 application fee payable to the O’Brien County Economic Development Corporation, must accompany the completed application. • The applicant must pay any loan documentation costs. • A 1% loan application fee will be due upon closing.

  14. Current Portfolio Balance • This fund has increased to a current loan portfolio in excess of $500,000.00.

  15. Funding Sources • The O’Brien County Board of Supervisors annually contribute to the Revolving Loan Fund in the amount of $50,000.00

  16. Exhausted Funds • In 2005 our RLF account was depleted and we saw the need to seek additional funding. An IRP application to the USDA was submitted and approved in the amount of $500,000.00

  17. IRP Award January 2006

  18. IRP Balance • IRP funds were received October 2006. Out of this funding we have already loaned out $300,000 and currently we are waiting for 2 applications to be submitted to the RLF Committee.
