EDA Resolution No. 2023-15 (Approving Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund)CITY OF MONTICELLO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CITY OF MONTICELLO WRIGHT COUNTY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO.2023-15 RESOLUTION APPROVING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REVOLVING LOAN FUND POLICY BE 1T RESOLVED By the Board of Commissioners (the "Board") of the City of Monticello Economic Development Authority (the "EDA") as follows: Section 1. Recitals. 1.01. The City of Monticello (the "City") has previously received a grant through the Community Development Block Grant Economic Development Set Aside program (the "Program") and the Minnesota Investment Fund, administered through the Department of Employment and Economic Development ("DEED"). The grant was used to make loans to local businesses. As the recipient of a grant through the Program, the City is authorized to keep all of the principal repayments and interest on the loans it makes. The City is required to use these funds to create a revolving loan fund ("Economic Development RLF") and to establish policies and procedures for the RLF. In December 2005, the City Council requested that Minnesota DEED designate the EDA as a Local Development Organization ("LDO") so the Program funds could be transferred to the EDA for the administration of the RLF utilizing Program dollars. A letter response from MN -DEED, dated January 3, 2006, recognizes the EDA as a LDO and therein effectuates the transfer of the Program funds and the administrative authority of those dollars. 1.02. The Board acknowledges that Economic Development RLF can be a valuable financing tool to further the development and redevelopment objectives of the City and the EDA, and to that end, the EDA and the City have caused to be updated certain criteria to guide the EDA in making awards from the Economic Development RLF pursuant to the state and federal requirements (the "Economic Development RLF Policy"). Section 2. Economic Development RLF Policy Approved. 2.01. The Board hereby approves the Economic Development RLF Policy on file in City Hall, which criteria supersedes any other prior Economic Development RLF policy or criteria adopted by the EDA. 2.02. EDA staff is hereby authorized to take all actions necessary to implement the Economic Development RLF Policy. Approved by the Board of Commissioners of the City of Monticello Economic Development Authority this 13th day of December, 2023. President(�� A EST: Extc-u'Ave Director \91b117A
