Fenlon, Administrator REPORT DATE: October 10, 2019 EXPLANATION: In early October, Seth Lenz from Seth’s Coffee submitted a complete Small Business Micro Loan application for a $12,000 loan (~80% of total project cost) to replace the roof on his building in order to improve utility and maintenance efforts on his property. In addition, the requested loan term was for 7 years. On October 9, 2019, the Loan Review Committee met to discuss the merits of the application and present a recommendation for the Village Board to consider. As you recall, the Small Business Micro Loan program is meant to incentivize job creation, leverage private investment and to perpetuate a positive and proactive business climate that encourages retention and expansion. The committee discussed a number of issues pertaining to the application, reviewed the application’s supporting financial documentation and discussed the Village’s Micro Loan application program. Based upon the committee’s review, it was recommended that the Micro Loan Program offer Seth’s Coffee a loan for $12,000. In addition, the recommendation was that the loan term would be for 7 years and at a rate of 3% and we recommend that the loan would be made with a 2nd mortgage as security on the existing building. The committee also discussed consolidating the other loan that Seth’s Coffee has through the Microloan program into one loan to streamline payments and record keeping efforts. Factors that influenced the decision of the Loan Review Committee: • Seth Lenz has successfully participated and repaid other loans with the Village of Little Chute • This loan allows the business to maintain the value of the property and increase efficiency of the building • This loan retains a growing and popular downtown business • Most important, this application meets the criteria, spirit and intent of the Small Business/Micro-Loan program These terms have been agreed to in principle by the proprietor. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Loan Review Committee’s recommendation and direct the Village Attorney to finalize the terms of the Village Small Business Micro Loan Program with Seth’s Coffee in conjunction with the Finance Director.

Fenlon, Administrator REPORT DATE: October 10, 2019 EXPLANATION: In late September, the MP Development 5 LLC (The Morgan Partners), owners of the building that is occupied by the Dollar Tree submitted an application for a Business Improvement Façade Renovation Loan based upon the significantly updated the exterior that has improved the exterior of their portion of the building. The application itself, along with the Community Development Director’s recommendation is attached to this memo for your review. On October 9th, the Loan Review Committee (Administrator, Finance Director, Village Attorney and Community Commercial Lender) met to discuss the merits of the application and present a recommendation for the Village Board to consider. As you recall, the Business Improvement Façade Renovation Loan was created to provide incentives and financial assistance to business and property owners to improve building facades and signage in accordance with an Old World European design theme. The committee discussed and reviewed the application’s supporting documentation, along with additional items needed to provide a recommendation to the Village Board. Based upon the committee’s review, it was recommended that the Village Board offer the applicant a façade loan for $35,640 (note: per the manual, the loan can be up to 2/3 of the total renovation cost, is a 0% loan and is not required payments as long as the property does not change in ownership). In addition, staff and the committee recommend including a $1,000 sign grant for approval in the process. It should be noted that the $1,000 sign grant is not part of the façade loan, but rather a direct grant per the policy. The recommendation would also require that the Village Attorney complete a title report for the property and the cost of that to be included in the total loan amount. Upon approval, staff will work with legal counsel to draft up the agreements for the loan and then complete the execution of that documentation. RECOMMENDATION: Approve and direct the Village Attorney to finalize the specific terms and documents and execute a loan for a $35,640 for a Facade Renovation Loan and an additional $1,000 for a sign grant the MP Development 5 LLC (The Morgan Partners).

James E. Moes Director of Community Development, Assessor and Zoning Administrator 108 W Main Street|Little Chute, Wisconsin 54140 (920)423-3870 Village of Little Chute From: Ed Bowen [mailto:ed@themorganpartners.com] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2019 10:13 AM To: James Fenlon Cc: Jim Moes Subject: RE: Little Chute Design Approval Package.pdf Hi guys- attached are the application and supporting documentation regarding our eligible costs for the façade grant program. Please note that we are doing both the façade program and the sign program, as we completed both. The final number is the amount of eligible costs (which for the purposes of “masonry”, includes both the demo of the old stone façade, brick and EIFS), plus the maximum amount for signage of $1000, which we clearly exceeded in our line item (that $6780 is actually only half of the sign, Mike Van Asten paid the other half since it is shared). The overall renovation cost for Dollar Tree was somewhere in the range of $420k, although you could add or subtract 10% of that number depending on how you classify certain things. Regardless, I think we are well in excess of the 2 to 1 matching funds guideline in the program manual. Please let me know if you have any questions on this, I’m happy to provide any additional details as necessary. Thanks again!  Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Amplified Device Permits PREPARED BY: Adam Breest, Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Director REPORT DATE: October 11, 2019 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: No additional comments to this report: ______________________________ See additional comments attached: _________________________________ EXPLANATION: The Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Department currently handles all amplified device permits for any music device being played within the parks. Our current permitting process requires bluetooth speakers, phones, etc to apply for a permit. Our shelter rentals follow these procedures because we have in person interaction with the renters. I have not had any residents come into our office for an amplified device for general park use. We have also not had any resident complaints regarding music being played in the parks in the last three years. In 2019, we have processed 73 permits thus far. It takes roughly 10 minutes a permit for the Parks Department’s internal process to complete a permit. This accounts for over 12 hours per year. More importantly, I feel this is an unnecessary step that our residents need to take when renting a pavilion. Fox Valley Metro and the Parks Department have worked together to come up with following solution to save staff time and residents time at the counter. • We propose to eliminate the need for an amplified device permit unless you are planning to have a live band or a DJ service coming to play for your event. The attached ordinance modification’s have been included for the Village Board’s consideration. ATTACHMENTS: Sec. 30-27 and Sec. 30-25 Suggested Modifications RECOMMENDATION: This information has been provided for discussion Sec. 30-27. - Loud and unnecessary noise prohibited. (a) Generally.
