All Ayes – Motion Carried Discussion/Recommendation – Eliminating Micro Loan Program Director Kittel discussed the Micro Loan Program history. It has only been used a handful of times, primarily by one business. The process is lengthy and complicated, many business owners did not see this program as a benefit due in part to all the restrictions. Due to low usage and administrative burden on staff, staff are looking to eliminate program to free up money for other economic development potential. Staff are looking for plan commission to make a recommendation to Village Board to move forward with eliminating program and putting funds into other economic development usage. Moved by Commissioner Lonsway, Seconded by Commissioner Moes to recommend eliminating the Micro Loan Program to the Village Board All Ayes – Motion Carried Discussion – Section 8 Update Director Kittel presented the second portion of section 8 for review. Changes are included in the packet for review. Many of the changes simplify the ordinance.
