CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING FUNDING FOR CORRIDOR DRYWALL LLC FROM IOWA CITY'S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) - ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO 09- 2-Sq _ ACT AS CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER AND SUBMIT ALL NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION TO THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT. Comment: On July 30 the City Council Economic Development Committee recommended $35,000 in funding for this project. The Council Economic Development Committee recommended that these funds be a loan at 1 % interest for a term of 7 years. Due to the owner's extensive experience in the drywall business, the owner's efforts in obtaining technical assistance to start and operate a new business and the owner's history of paying loan obligations, the committee recommended funding this business even though the loan will not be fully secured. The loan will be partially secured by a financing statement on all business assets. Said business will create three full time positions, of which 51 % will be held by or made available to low-to- moderate income persons. For more information see staff memo included in Council packet. Action: ITEM 12. CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CHANGE FROM CALENDAR PARKING TO ODD/EVEN DATE PARKING FOR STREETS WHICH CURRENTLY p(~, a,qa HAVE CALENDAR PARKING. Comment: This action would replace the alternate-side calendar parking restrictions with alternate-side odd/even date parking restrictions in an effort to align better with the snow emergency ordinance. During declared snow emergencies in the winter of 2008/2009, vehicle owners were asked to obey existing signage in areas with calendar parking rather than follow the odd/even date parking strategy, and this created confusion with residents unsure of which side of the street to park on. If approved, signs will be installed in advance of the winter season. Action: ITEM 13.
