REFERENCE AND BACKGROUND: Tammy Torborg contacted City Staff requesting financial assistance for the expansion of her catering business, Innovative Catering Solutions. Ms. Torborg currently operates in Big Lake, however she would like to relocate her business to Monticello. It is staff's understanding she would relocate her business within Chelsea Commons and potentially pursue ownership of a facility at a future date. Tammy would like to expand her business during the relocation process. She would like to expand her current operation to include a retail component of selling fresh baked goods, sandwiches, and soup. The desired expansion of her catering business will require significant equipment to be purchased. Therefore, Tammy is requesting the EDA grant her a GMEF loan in the amount of $34,845.45. The GMEF guidelines require a public purpose to be accomplished in order to grant a loan. The guidelines state one of the objectives in granting a loan is "To provide loans for credit -worthy businesses that would increase the community tax base." It is staffs believe that supporting this GMEF request will increase community tax base. Filling empty building space always provides increased tax base. B. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Information regarding the Initiative Foundation C. BUDGET IMPACT: 1. The GMEF can support the request while still maintaining a healthy balance. D. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: 1. Approve the GMEF request. 2.

It should be mentioned that staff did meet with the City Attorney regarding this request. Steve Bubul stated in his opinion this GMEF request seemed reasonable. 1 AZ RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT CO QUOTATION 3804 BRICKTON ROAD PRINCETON, MN 55371 Quote Number: 8730 Quote Date: Sep 14, 2009 Page: 1 Voice: 763 389 -4345 Fax: 763 389 -5787 INNOVATIVE CATERING 18950 238TH AVE NW BIG LAKE, MN 55309 0' Due KENT M MW`A,? @"�a��lt�?- `k�7!tR1,'c "e Amount:: 1.00 USED 7 FT HOOD /MAKE UPAIR / EXAUST 5,010.00 5,010.00 FAN 3/4 HP/ USED 1.00 14730 VICTORY 1 - DOOR STAINLESS STEEL 1,495.00 1,495.00 REFRIGERATOR 1.00 16122 TRUE 2 -DOOR REFRIGERATOR - 1,595.00 1,595.00 CASTERS 1.00 16905 MC CALL 2 -DOOR FREEZER - LEGS 1,895.00 1,895.00 1.00 14414 AMERICAN DISH SERIVCE STRAIGHT 1,995.00 1,995.00 PASS THRU 1 RACK DISHWASHER - LOW TEMP 1.00 DON_FI64W FAGOR DISHWASHER UNDERCOUNTER 3,495.00 3,495.00 1.00 14164 QBD CURVED DISPLAY CASE WITH 2,495.00 2,495.00 LIGHT 2 GLASS SHELVES 1.00 15262 QBD CURVED GLASS REFRIGERATED 4,495.00 4,495.00 DISPLAY CASE 1.00 DON_NE1024T PANASONIC MICROWAVE - DIAL 270.00 270.00 1.00 EFL_BKS- 1- 18- 12 -18R 1 COMP 18 X 18 X 12 R DB 425.00 425.00 1.00 Y -4188 3 -COMP SINK 2 DRAINBOARDS 120 X 28 995.00 995.00 4.00 GSW_AA -303 TWIST HANDLE MECHANICAL DRAIN 49.99 199.96 LEVER STYLE 3 1/2 INCH SINK OPENING 2 INCH DRAIN OUTLET 3.00 BKR_BK- KF -8W -12 12" FAUCET WITH 8' CENTER MOUNT 49.99 149.97 1.00 EFL_BKGT40 40 LB GREASE TRAP 339.00 339.00 1.00 16157 GARLAND DOUBLE STACKED 3,895.00 3,895.00 CONVECTION OVENS 1.00 EFL_TRITSR -4 24IN -4 BURNER RANGE 1,411.00 1,411.00 Subtotal Continued tSalesTax Continued MINNOWS ll'$K P # M.'1 �B INNOVATIVE CATERING 1 1 10/14/09 1 1 Net 0 M MW`A,? @"�a��lt�?- `k�7!tR1,'c "e Amount:: 1.00 USED 7 FT HOOD /MAKE UPAIR / EXAUST 5,010.00 5,010.00 FAN 3/4 HP/ USED 1.00 14730 VICTORY 1 - DOOR STAINLESS STEEL 1,495.00 1,495.00 REFRIGERATOR 1.00 16122 TRUE 2 -DOOR REFRIGERATOR - 1,595.00 1,595.00 CASTERS 1.00 16905 MC CALL 2 -DOOR FREEZER - LEGS 1,895.00 1,895.00 1.00 14414 AMERICAN DISH SERIVCE STRAIGHT 1,995.00 1,995.00 PASS THRU 1 RACK DISHWASHER - LOW TEMP 1.00 DON_FI64W FAGOR DISHWASHER UNDERCOUNTER 3,495.00 3,495.00 1.00 14164 QBD CURVED DISPLAY CASE WITH 2,495.00 2,495.00 LIGHT 2 GLASS SHELVES 1.00 15262 QBD CURVED GLASS REFRIGERATED 4,495.00 4,495.00 DISPLAY CASE 1.00 DON_NE1024T PANASONIC MICROWAVE - DIAL 270.00 270.00 1.00 EFL_BKS- 1- 18- 12 -18R 1 COMP 18 X 18 X 12 R DB 425.00 425.00 1.00 Y -4188 3 -COMP SINK 2 DRAINBOARDS 120 X 28 995.00 995.00 4.00 GSW_AA -303 TWIST HANDLE MECHANICAL DRAIN 49.99 199.96 LEVER STYLE 3 1/2 INCH SINK OPENING 2 INCH DRAIN OUTLET 3.00 BKR_BK- KF -8W -12 12" FAUCET WITH 8' CENTER MOUNT 49.99 149.97 1.00 EFL_BKGT40 40 LB GREASE TRAP 339.00 339.00 1.00 16157 GARLAND DOUBLE STACKED 3,895.00 3,895.00 CONVECTION OVENS 1.00 EFL_TRITSR -4 24IN -4 BURNER RANGE 1,411.00 1,411.00 Subtotal Continued tSalesTax Continued A Z RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT CO QUOTATION 3804 BRICKTON ROAD PRINCETON, MN 55371 Quote Number: 8730 Quote Date: Sep 14, 2009 Page: 2 Voice: 763 389 -4345 Fax: 763 389 -5787 INNOVATIVE CATERING 18950 238TH AVE NW BIG LAKE, MN 55309 s�`i�A INNOVATIVE CATERING 10/14/09 Net Due KENT 1.00 5319 TRITEX 5000 COFFEE MAKER 225.00 225.00 1.00 16217 HOBART 20 QT.
