Amendment to Commissioner Tuttle explained that at this time the Community Board will be considering an amendment to the Block Grant Community Development Block Grant Program. It was Application submitted to the state for the purpose of establishing (action item) a revolving loan fund for reloaning the funds to local businesses. The original block grant application included three pre -identified businesses; Acu-Edge, Inc. in Redmond, Oregon Equipment, and Bend Research. Commissioner Tuttle explained that shortly after the approval of these applications by the State, Oregon Equipment ceased operations and Bend Research decided not to continue its participation in the grant. After discussing this with Intergovernmental Relations Division, it was determined that if the County could find businesses that created the same number of jobs, used the same financial leverage, had outside committments for financing and would follow the conditions of the original grant, substitutions could be made of the original grant. Commissioner Tuttle continued that he has been working with Mike Sullivan of the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council and Jim Curtis of Oregon Economic Development to find businesses that comply with these criteria. Mike Sullivan, Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council, explained that the two businesses selected are Morelock Wood Products and D & S Hydraulics of Bend. The directive of the State Intergovernmental Relations Division was that the amended package need to either meet or exceed the performance of the original package. The original package proposed a total of 62 jobs and the new package creates a total of 73 jobs. Originally each job had a cost of approximately $4,800 which has now lowered to $4,100. The leverage (amount of private money coming in to match the loan from the State) originally was $894,500 and now is $746,500. Mr. Sullivan explained that the sum of leverage, the number of jobs created, and the cost per job adds up to this package performing better than the original package. Acu-Edge will create 20 jobs as compared to the original estimate of 18; Morelock Wood Products will create 45 jobs and major expansion; D & S Hydraulics is creating 8 jobs in a building program that is going to provide them with a new and more efficient facility.
