ATCOG has available $670.700 to ,assist in local infrastructure improvements that directly support economic development. These funds, which were obtained through a special purpose grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (DHUDI with assistance from Congressman Jim Chapman will be awarded for the express purpose of creating new permanent jobs and/or retaining existing jobs in the Texas counties of Bowie, Cass, Delta. Franklin, Hopkins, Lamar, Morris, Red River and Titus. 1 PART I GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES 1. Applications for funds under ATCOG's EDIGP will not be acceoted orior to 8:00 a.m., Friday, November 15,1991. 2. One original and one copy of the application are to be submitted to: Ark-Tex Council of Governments Director of Program Operations P.O. Box 5307 Texarkana, Texas 75505 3. Initial projects will be selected at a called meeting of the ATCOG Board of Directors on December 3, 1991, at 5:00 p.m., at the Region VIII Education Service Center, Farm Market Road 1734, Mt. Pleasant, Texas. 4. At the above meeting, applicants will have five minutes for a presentation of their proposed project, and five minutes to address questions by the Board of Directors. 5. Projects will be selected in the order they were submitted (to the day), based upon their eligibility, feasibility and ATCOG Board analysis of project impact consistant with the goals of the EDIGP. 6. Selection decisions of the ATCOG Board of Directors will be final and not subject to appeal except for the three circumstances identified in the following program design. 2 PROGRAM GOAL. EtIGIBLE APPLICANTS AND ACTIVITIES YM! The goal of EDIGP is to expand economic opportunities that create or retain jobs in Northeast Texas as described herein. Eliaible Aoolicants Eligible applicants must be either an incorporated municipality or county government located within the Texas counties of Bowie. Casso Delta. Franklin. Hopkins. Lamar, Morris. Red River and Titus. Eligible cities or counties may submit applications that would provide assistance to a private or public business. In all instances, the applicant government will remain ultimately responsible for the administration of the project. Elicible Activities EDIGP provides resources for an applicant to make infrastructure improvements in support of a specific private or public business. Each project must create and/or retain jobs for Texans within the geographic area described above. Inelicible Activities Funds cannot be used for speculation or excess improvements over the minimum infrastructure needed for a specific business. In the case of a private business, infrastructure activities will be made up to, but not beyond the property line of the benefiting private business. Infrastructure Proiects A unit of local government may need to provide infrastructure improvements for the development or expansion of a specific public or private business before the proposed job creation project can be fully implemented. This economic development contract could be used by the local units of government to provide typical infrastructure improvements such as railroad spurs, utility lines, gas lines, sidewalks, street and road access, wastewater/water treatment and facilities, to the business involved. EDIGP mav not be used for soeculation. Le.. it cannot be used for ceneral industrial Dark Droiects created with the hODe that a business client will then be attracted. It must be tied to a specific business creating a specific number of jobs. It must be a "but for" situation, where the business cannot locate or expand at that site unless the particular infrastructure is provided. The business must provide sufficient documentation to establish that the business is likely to be successful, and will create the appropriate number of jobs at site in a specified time frame. Since the applicant will be documenting the need for funds, they must provide, as a part of their application, documentation pertaining to other funding sources that they have tried to access in order to complete this project. Sources, such as the 3 Texas Department of Highways and the Texas Water Development Board, must be contacted prior to making application to EDIGP, in order to document what amount of funding can be provided through these other programs. If they are not contacted, or cannot meet the city/county requirements for funding, then documentation must be provided outlining why these sources of funding are unavailable. Beyond the five (5) percent required applicant injection, the city/county must try to fund this project, in whole or part, from their own resources or document why they are unable to do so. Where a business requires infrastructure improvements, such as expanded treatment facilities, the applicant can only request the EDIGP to fund the minimum additions or improvements to infrastructure specifically needed for that business. Other Restrictions No assistance will be provided for projects intended to facilitate the relocation of a private business from one area within Texas to another, unless there is no objection by the local government in which the business is presently located. ATCOG will only consider a project proposed by a city that is in the city's corporate limits or its extraterritorial jurisdiction; a project proposed by a county that is in the unincorporated area of the county; or, a project proposed by a county which may emcompass incorporated areas when documented support of the incorporated entity within the project area is provided with the application. ATCOG will not consider an application for funding if the business to be assisted has filed under the federal bankruptcy code and the matter is in the process of being adjudicated or if such business has been adjudicated bankrupt. Businesses claiming retained jobs as part of a proposal must provide documentation that the employees will be permanently laid off or the business will close down or relocate out of state if EDIGP funds are not made available. Overview of Aoolication. Review. and Selection Procedures The overall soundness of the proposed project will be a major factor in the selection process. A minimum of five oercent {5%l cash iniection oarticioation of the total oroiect costs bv the orincioals is reouired to aualifv for EDIGP. For the purposes of this program "principals" are the applicant or the specific business benefiting from the project. With the exception of proper documentation that the United States Economic Development Administration has invited a formal application for consideration for the same project, a firm financial commitment from all other funding sources will be required upon submission of the application. The .Other/EDIGP funds" ratio must not be less than 1 :1. New equity value (market value less debt outstanding) in fixed assets may be counted towards the match requirement on a case-by-case basis, but will be discounted as follows: real estate-25%; machinery/equipment-50%. For the above cash injections, other funds are defined as all other sources of funds for the project, with the exception of any other DHUD monies. DHUD money includes program income. Revenues from the sale of bonds may also be counted if the business is liable under the terms of the bond issue. Monies committed towards this project cannot be expended between the application date and the contract award date. 4 Other Tvoes of Aoolications Two or more eligible applicants may submit a joint application for funding if there is a documented need for the project to be submitted as such, based on physical location factors. The eligibility of a joint application is subject to approval by the ATCOG Executive Committee. Fundina Cvcle Beginning November 15, 1991, EDIGP will be available until funds for this purpose are exhausted. Please contact ATCOG to verify availability of funds before preparing applications. Grant Maximum and Minimum These amounts apply to any project funded under the EDIGP regardless of whether the application is submitted by a single applicant or jointly by two or more eligible jurisdictions. Maximum Minimum $150,000 $ 50,000 Selection Procedures In those instances where the ATCOG staff determines that the application is either incomplete or that the activities are ineligible for funding, the application will be returned to the applicant for completion. Applications received the same day will be considered as having been submitted at the same time. The A TCOG staff will then conduct a review of each application to make three threshold determinations with respect to: 1. The financial feasibility of the business to be assisted. 2. The strength of commitments from all other private and/or public investors identified in the application. 3. The ability of the applicant to .operate or maintain any public facility or service assisted with the EDIGP funds. If the project is deemed to be feasible and eligible under the EDIGP, the proposed applicant is then required to meet with ATCOG staff to discuss the project and program with at least one local government official or his designee and one private business representative as appropriate. This is known as an "Application Meeting." This meeting is intended to provide an opportunity for A TCOG staff to fully understand the activities and nature of the project. 5 If a project is not deemed to be feasible and eligible under the EDIGP, the application will be officially denied. and a letter stating the reason(s) for denial will be sent to the applying city or county jurisdiction. ATCOG staff will then generate scores on evaluation criteria related to leverage ratio, cost per job, number of jobs and project feasibility. Additional bonus points may be awarded depending upon project benefit to Low to Moderate income persons. Scores on factors in these categories are derived from information provided by the applicant. An aoolicant must receive at least 60 ooints out of a oossible 100 ooints to be considered for fundina. ATCOG staff makes recommendations for project selection to the ATCOG Executive Committee. The ATCOG Executive Committee then reviews the recommendations and announces the projects selected for funding. Awards will be made on a first-come-first-serve basis until the EDIGP funds are exhausted. A TCOG staff works with the recipients to execute appropriate contract agreements. While the contract award must be based on the information provided in the application, ATCOG may negotiate any element of the contract with the recipient. Evaluation Criteria The following is an outline of the evaluation criteria used by ATCOG for the review of projects under the EDIGP: 1. Leverage Ratio (Maximum Points 30) Points awarded by dividing the total .other" funds by the EDIGP fund award amount requested, less administration according to the following scale: 1.0:1 (100%) 1.5:1 (150%) 2.0:1 (200%) 2.5:1 (250%) 3.0:1 (300%) 3.5:1 (350%) 5 10 15 20 2.~_ -30 l~ 2. Cost per Job (Maximum Points 20) Defined as the EDIGP Funds requested divided by the number of full-time job equivalents to be created or retained. In order for an applicant to be eligible for a EDIGP award, the cost per job calculation mus~QOt exceed $25.000. .\\)) i:.-- . L../J)' J o~ , o- f' --. - , <;./: .

Number of Jobs Created/Retained (Maximum Points 20) Points awarded for the total number of full-time. permanent job equivalents created and/or retained as a result of the public or private business benefiting from the project receiving the EDIGP funds. 100 and over 50 to 99 20 to 49 5 to 19 Under five 20 15 10 5 o ~ ./ 4. Project Feasibility (Maximum Points 30) 'f! Feasibility of each project is evaluated and scored based on the financial soundness of the project. In the case where the infrastructure activities benefit a oublic business. the abilitv of the aoolicant to tax will satisfy the reauirement for oroiect soundness: thus. the maximum ooints will be awarded. In the case where the infrastructure activities benefit a private business, specific factors to be examined in this phase of the evaluation are: firm commitments for financial investment and the jobs to be created or retained; history and description of the business; current financial condition of the business (including a full review of the credit analysis); cash flow projections; business or marketing plan (including identification of major customers and/or letter(s) of intent to purchase product(s) or service(s); and management experience of the business' principals. Bonus Points 5. Low to Mod Benefit (Bonus Points 10) If the fifty-one percent (51 %) or more of the jobs created benefit low to moderate income persons the project will be awarded the bonus points under this category. The EDIGP funds are used to provide assistance to eligible applicants for infrastructure improvements fosterina iob creation and/or retention oroiects. There is a contract between ATCOG and the applicant. and a contract between the applicant and the private business, . as appropriate, to ensure a complete understanding by the three participants of the planned development, the expected number of jobs to be created or retained, the sources and uses of all funds committed to the project, the financial and other reporting requirements of the business and the local unit of government to ATCOG, and all other obligations of the business, the local governmental unit and ATCOG. 7 OTHER PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS The following section describes those additional items which applicants must consider prior to submission of an application.

Proiect Time Frame All selected projects will have a contract period of twentv-four (24) months from the date of award. All project objectives must be accomplished within this time frame. False Information on Aoolications In those instances where ATCOG determines that an applicant provided false information, the following actions may be taken on a case-by-case basis: 1. Even if an award has been made, the locality will be liable for funds expended if "adjustment" to the scores resulted in the project being funded. Furthermore, the applicant involved will no longer be eligible to apply for funds under the EDIGP. 2. Additionally, a person commits an offense if he: a. knowingly makes a false entry in, or false alteration of, a government record; b. makes, presents, or uses any record, document, or thing with knowledge of its falsity and with intent that it be taken as a genuine governmental record; or . c. intentionally destroys, conceals, removes. or otherwise impairs the verity, legibility, or availability of a governmental record.

Although we were asked to finance your total project costs of $ , we are only able to provide $ due to (reasonl . Our commitment is based on the sound financial resources of the company (principals) and the feasibility of the project. The terms of our commitment are as follows: Amount: $885,000 or 85% of the project cost, whichever is higher, plus $20,000 for land cost. Rate: Prime plus 1-112% (based on New York Prime), variable rate over the term of the loan. Term: 15 years. Expiration Date: November 30, 1991 Security: First Lien Deed of Trust on plant and satisfactory covenants. Our financial commitment for this project is contingent only upon your company being able to obtain the necessary infrastructure provided by your city or county jurisdiction through the Economic Development Infrastructure Grant Program from the Ark-Tex Council of Governments for a total of $115,000. We look forward to assisting you in finalizing this financial arrangement in the near future. Sincerely, Juanita Valenquela President 25 EVIDENCE OF COMMITMENT (Corporate Letterhead) October 21, 1991 Joe Cameron Mayor City of Ballinger P,O. Box 1 Ballinger, Texas 76821 Dear Mayor Cameron: As you are aware, the XYZ Corporation has experienced a great deal of growth over the last several years. A result of this growth is the need to expand our operation. The XYZ Corporation plans to expand by constructing a 25,000 square foot building on land purchased by the firm two years ago at the Westside Industrial Park. The total project cost of the purchase of land, construction of the building and required infrastructure improvements is $1,300,000. The proposed financing for the project can be summarized as follows: Bank Loan Funds Corporate Equity EDIGP $ 750,000 500,000 200.000 $ 1,450,000 The equity is from two sources. The XYZ is contributing $200,000 cash (verification from ABC Bank is attached) and $300,000 in land equity to the project. The land equity is derived by the following: Appraised Market Value Less Debt on Land Discount (25%) on Land $ 750,000 (See Attached MAl Appraisal) - 350,000 - 100.000 $ 300,000 The XYZ Corporation is committing this equity to the project. The project's feasibility, taking into consideration current long-term financing costs and competitive investment alternatives, is contingent upon XYZ Corporation obtaining EDIGP funds.. Any increase in XYZ Corporation's cash equity injection would seriously jeopardize our working capital requirements. I cannot overemphasize the importance of the EDIGP funds. Without these funds, we cannot proceed with the project at this time. Sincerely, Joe Smith President 26 PRIVATE BUSINESS BENEFICIARY PROJECTS UNDER THE ATCOG EDIGP WHERE THE BENEFICIARY IS A PRIVATE BUSINESS MUST SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS: 1.
