The State, with the Local Development Loan Fund, is proposing to lend $350,000 to Cascade, with $300,000 from SBA, $500,000 from U. S. Bank, and $500,000 equity from the company. The owners of the company are Leroy Fletcher, Sherm Carlson, and Jim Sackman. Mr. Sackman is the local contact. The State Local Development Loan Fund, commonly known as a "mini UDAG" since its intent and operation is similar to the former Federal Urban Development Action Grant Program, grants the money to the local governmental jurisdiction to then be loaned under conditions agreed to by the private lending institution and, in this case, SBA, to the private company. The local government serves merely as a pass through entity, and in this case the funds are repaid to the State. The City has been asked to serve as the conduit on behalf of this project which will result in 35 new jobs the first year, 5 additional jobs the second year, and $1.6 million total investment. An application and appropriate resolution will be on the June 6, 1990 agenda for Council authorization to submit, If there are any questions concerning this project, please contact me.
