Enclosed is the revised Administrative Manual for the Gateway Grant and Loan Program

Farmers Exchange Bank and internal discussion. This memorandum summarizes the steps
necessary for processing loans and grants in accordance with the revised draft of the
Administrative Manual.
Loan Processing.
Loan Application submitted to the City Administrator (together with plans and
specifications for project, proposed construction budget, proposed construction schedule,
paid tax receipt, paid receipt for licenses, certificate of good standing). Non-refundable
Loan Application Fee of $125.00.
2. The City Administrator and City Engineer jointly review the project proposal (including
site visits and comparison of project with Program goals).
3. The City Administrator orders ownership and encumbrance certificate, UCC search, tax
records and licensing records, and all of the foregoing, together with the Loan
Application and accompanying materials, are delivered to the Loan Committee.
4. The Loan Committee recommends grant or denial of the loan to the Board of Aldermen
(the "Board").
5. The Board reviews the recommendation of the Loan Committee, determines the
eligibility of the project and applicant and approves or disapproves the loan.
6. Upon approval of the loan, the City and borrower enter into the loan documents and the
loan proceeds are deposited into an interest bearing escrow account until the date of
disbursement.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions to disbursement (completion of project work,
evidence of borrower's expenditures, certificate of occupancy, evidence of insurance),
the City Administrator authorizes disbursement of the loan proceeds to the borrower.
Farmer's Exchange Bank (the "Bank") will be responsible for monitoring loan payments
and delivering notices of default to borrowers. The Bank will make monthly reports to the Board
of the status of all outstanding loans. The Bank will also be responsible for notifying the Board
of defaults. The City Administrator will be responsible for periodic reports to the Board
regarding the status of the Revolving Loan Fund and outstanding loans.
Grant Processing.
2. Grant Application submitted to the City Administrator (together with the plans
and specifications for the project and a construction schedule for the project). Non-refundable
Grant Application Fee of $75.00.
3. The City Administrator and City Engineer jointly review the project proposal
(including site visits and comparison of project with Program goals).
4. The City Administrator and City Engineer jointly recommend to the Board the
grant or denial of eligibility of the project and applicant.
The Board reviews the recommendation of the City Administrator and City
Engineer and approves or disapproves the grant.
6. Upon approval of the grant, the City and grantee execute a Grant Agreement.
7. Upon execution of the Agreement, the grant funds are deposited into an interest
bearing escrow account at the Bank until the date of disbursement (i.e., completion of work and
receipt by City Administrator of proof of Grantee's expenditures).
8. Upon satisfaction of the conditions for disbursement (completion of work, proof
of Grantee's expenditures, Certificate of Occupancy), the City Administrator authorizes the Bank
to disburse the grant funds.
The City Administrator will be responsible for periodic reports to the Board regarding the
status of the grant fund and outstanding grants.
In order to fully implement the Grant and Loan Program, the following steps will need to be
taken by the Board:
The Board will need to adopt an Ordinance approving the attached Manual and adopting
the same as the governing policy for the Program. (See form of Ordinance attached)
2. The Board will need to adopt an Ordinance establishing the Loan Committee as a
committee of the Board and appointing the members of the Loan Committee. (See form
of Ordinance attached)

Program. Form of Agreement to be finalized and presented to Board for consideration.
