This was the time
set for the public hearing on an appeal filed by Jim Allison contesting the
decision of the Building Inspector to grant a sing permit to Mission @ The
Cross, Richard Headrix. Bryce Flint, attorney, appeared with Mr. Allison
and argued that the entire cross should be considered a sign and not a
supporting structure for the attached LED sign. Another concern from the
public was safety and whether the LED sign is a distraction to drivers. The
public also asked if it was a video sign or a LED sign? Building
Inspector Scott Rovere explained that in granting the permit, the cross was
treated as a supporting structure and that the sign and supporting structure
were in compliance with all applicable Sturgis City Ordinances. Mr.
Rovere also explained that by definition it is a LED sign and would not be
considered a video sign. The issue was taken under advisement by the
Council for a later decision.
The Common Council adjourned

session.

Eligibility
Requirements – Any for profit and

Land acquisition
and related development;

Building
construction, acquisition or related remodeling projects which are determined
to enhance economic growth; and,
c)
Acquisition of
equipment (excluding rolling stock) for use in the commercial or light
industrial business of the applicant.
Requests
for operating capital, inventory or the refinancing of existing debt will not
be considered and are ineligible purposes for SIECRF loan.
C.
Targeting
Criteria – The SIECRF committee will
review, evaluate, and make decisions on each SIECRF application. The committee shall consider the following
targeting criteria along with other factors deemed by the committee appropriate
with each application:

shall be given to eligible applicants who are existing commercial or light

shall be given to eligible applicants that propose to relocate an existing

D.
Financing
Policies – The following financing
policies shall direct the SIECRF committee in its review, evaluation, and
decision making process on SIECRF applications:
a) To the extent practical, loan amounts will be based
upon the formula of $5,000 per new, full-time equivalent job created or
existing job retained. This standard may
be waived by the SIECRF committee at the time of application approval, if the
project presents an unusual opportunity or set of unique circumstances for
promotion of the City of
b) Applicants shall demonstrate through appropriate
documentation that a SIECRF loan is justified on the basis of either a
financing gap that precludes the project form moving forward to completion
without such a loan, or that there exists an unacceptable rate of return on
investment based upon market investment interest rates.
c) Subject to the limit continued in paragraph (a) above,
the maximum amount of SIEC revolving funds loaned to single applicant shall be
the minimum amount needed to move the project forward to completion in light of
other public and private financing sources available as determined by the
SIECRF committee.
d) Terms for repayment of SIECRF loans will be based on
the minimum needs of the applicant, the recapitalization needs of the SIECRF,
and the collateral requirements of the loan.
Loan terms shall not exceed the depreciable life of the asset(s) pledged
as collateral. The SIECRF committee
shall have the discretion to set the loan terms. But in no event shall the loan be amortized
over more than fifteen (15) years with a five (5) year balloon payment.
e) The interest rate of a SIECRF loan shall be structured
on a case by case basis and will be determined by the SIECRF committee based
upon the minimum needs of the applicant and the recapitalization needs of the
SIECRF.
f) Applicant equity shall be based upon a combination of
the total financial position of the applicant and the equity in the funded
project.
g) SIECRF loans shall be collateralized by fixed assets
of the applicant as determined by the SIECRF committee based upon the value of
such assets as determined by a qualified appraiser, and by such additional
collateral as may be required by the SIECRF.
The preferred minimum security position for a SIECRF loan shall be a
second mortgage or security interest, as the case may be, upon the loan
collateral. In the event the SIECRF
applicant cannot provide a minimum second position security position due to
factors such as S.B.A. financing, the SIECRF loan application may be approved
with a security position inferior to a second position, provided however, that
the SIECRF applicant provide such additional collateral (including but not
limited to assignment of life insurance proceeds) and/or such co-signatures
and/or such personal guaranties as may be required by the SIECRF committee to
provide for a reasonable credit risk.
h) A SIECRF loan origination fee may be levied in a
maximum amount equal to 1% of the loan amount plus the actual amount of any and
all settlement costs and fees incurred by the SIECRF for the processing,
approval, and closing of the loan.
i)
Subject to the
provision of sub-paragraph (d) above, restructuring or modification of the
terms of a SIECRF loan shall be considered on a case by case basis by the
SIECRF committee as needed.

application is approved by the City Council, the City and the applicant shall
execute such agreements and documents as necessary, which shall provide the
rights and responsibilities of all parties and the terms and conditions of the
loan. The agreements and documents shall
be prepared by an Attorney at Law and the cost of preparation and the review of
further documents necessary to the closing of the loan shall be paid by the
applicant as part of the costs of loan.

interest and principal, to the City and the borrower. The escrow agent shall remit all proceeds
received to the City.
In the event that the borrower requests any modification or change of
any loan term or condition, including without limitation variations in security
position, insurance requirements, payment dates or amounts, or the like, or if
there arises a need for management of insurance proceeds in the event of damage
or loss or such other insurable event, the borrower shall notify the then
acting chairperson of the SIECRF committee and the loan servicing request shall
be handled on an as-needed, case by case basis by the committee. Any and all changes in loan terms or
