No more than $1,000,000 total award from SIED when loan and grant combined.) Interest rates on loans are established when the County formally approves the project contract by using the County Interfund Loan Rate, as authorized by law. Loans are given for a term of 10 years and annual payments are made in equal amounts on June 15t of each year. An interlocal agreement will be established between the County and the applicant specifying repayment dates and a loan amortization schedule. Loan payment installments are based on an ordinary annuity, compounded annually. If an applicant needs additional flexibility on loan repayment schedules they can request a deferral. Interest on loans will continue to accrue from the date the contract is approved by the County, even if the applicant is granted a deferral on their first loan payment. If an applicant requests a deferral of the first loan payment, the applicant must justify the request. A SIED loan is a general obligation of the jurisdiction receiving the loan. With acceptance of a SIED loan, the jurisdiction agrees to the terms of the interlocal agreement regardless of the project which prompted the application for SIED funding.
