� . PRC?CESS <br /> 1. Meet with Department staff to decide if the program is applicabie to your project. <br /> 2. Submit your completed application with all required attachments (see section 4) to be <br /> reviewed by the TIF Review Board. <br /> 3. The Review Board reviews the project and determines the number of criteria the project <br /> meets. You may attend the meeting if you wish to do so. If the team requires <br /> additional information, and you are not available, City Staff will contact you to request <br /> the information. This information must be provided within three (3) months of the <br /> initial application date or your application will be considered null and void. <br /> 4. The Review Board will calculate your grant amount based on criteria points and budget <br /> availability. Once the Review Board has sufficient information you will be contacted to <br /> schedule a tour of the project site and building. Planning and Building Inspections staff <br /> will tour the building with the applicant. This tour will be for the purpose of verifying the <br /> redevelopment plans and photographing the building. <br /> 5. Once all project information has been submitted, the project tour has been completed, <br /> and the Review Board has tentatively approved the grant amount, City Staff will contact <br /> you and you may begin the project. For grants more than $30,000, this does not <br /> guarantee a favorable vote before City Council but allows the project to proceed during <br /> the review phase. If City Council does not approve the project none of the project costs <br /> will be reimbursable. <br /> 6. Grants more than $30,000 need City council approval. City Staff will write a report <br /> outlining the proposed project and recommending approval of your project grant. The <br /> name of the bank and escrow agent along with a signed agreement, must accompany <br /> this report. This report will need to be completed and all documents received two <br /> weeks before the scheduled City Council meeting (held the first and third Mondays of <br /> each month). <br /> 7. City Council will review the staff report and vote on the DRIP grant. You are welcome <br /> to attend. Following the meeting, City Staff will inform you on the final City Council vote <br /> and notify you of the date your escrow agent will receive the grant check. If you choose <br /> not to establish an escrow account, you will receive the grant check upon completion of <br /> the project. <br /> 8. Funds may be withdrawn from the escrow account following the submission of an <br /> Architectural certification (or other approved individual) stating that the work has been <br /> completed according to submitted plans. This document should be submitted to the <br /> Director of Economic and Urban Development or their agent. City Staff will notify the <br /> bank and authorize the release of the funds. <br /> 9. Upon project completion, please submit actual project cost information and other <br /> documentation as provided for in the agreement. If all grant funds were not needed <br /> arrangements to return any unused grant funds should be made. A final building tour <br /> will be scheduled in order to discuss the project and photograph the improvements. <br /> I �} <br /> 3 I' =� �:5 E: <br />
