Housing Manager Smith updated the Council on the COMMERCIAL
background of the City's Commercial Loan Program. The LOAN
Commercial Loan Program is available to small businesses PROGRAM
in the cities of Baldwin Park, Monrovia and Duarte in
loan amounts ranging from $1,000 to $75,000 at 7%
interest per annum. Eight commercial loans were funded
in FY 1992-93, the program has $226,000 available for
loans and receives approximately $12,000 in program
income each month.
In response to Council, Housing Manager Smith stated DISCUSSION
that the interest rate could not be lower than 4% below
prime. There are no requirements to lend to businesses
in Monrovia or Duarte and only one loan was made to a
Monrovia business in FY 1992-93. The Administrative
Plan would need to be changed and approved by the LDC to
lower the interest rate.
Mayor pro tern Gallegos requested a report on viable DIRECTION
interest rates that might serve as some incentive to
attract applicants to the Commercial Loan Program. He
also requested that staff include additional promotional
activities that would attract the businessman to seek a
loan. Mayor Vargas requested that the report be on the
agenda for the September 1st Council meeting. Council
concurred.
In response to Council, City Manager Penman stated that DISCUSSION
the LDC had approximately 40 members, the membership fee
is $5, the City Manager is a member of the LDC Board and
the membership elects the Board.
Councilman Martinez requested a copy of the membership DIRECTION
of the LDC. Council concurred.
In response to Council, City Manager Penman stated that DISCUSSION
each loan is tracked according to the funding source,
and none of the CDBG monies are loaned to other
communities. The CDBG monies can be recycled back into
the Commercial Loan Program or as income to the CDBG
program. The EDA mandates that the money be a revolving
loan program.
Mayor Vargas expressed his concern that the Council only
has one vote on how the CDBG monies are spent and that
Council stands responsible for the expenditures. He
also inquired about the availability of other grant
monies to the City.
City Manager Penman stated that the City needs to join
the Overall Economic Development Plan OEDP), and be
ranked, in order to qualify for EDA monies.
