none

Wendy Ford, Tracy Hightshoe, Jeff Davidson
Others Present:
Carmen and Alex Legaspi with La Reyna, Jill Pitcher with Alpla, Joe Raso
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL:
None.
CALL MEETING TO ORDER:
Bailey called the meeting to order at 8:32 AM.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF MAY 29.2007:
Champion moved that the minutes be approved, Elliott seconded. Motion carried 3-0.
LA REYNA - CDBG APPLICATION:
According to legal, the City can't fully secure the loan as the building was purchased under contract. The
deed holder granted an interest in the building to West Chester Bank for the start up loan. West Chester
also placed a blanket lien on all equipment for the business. Staffs recommendation is for $60,000,
unsecured. The City will place a mortgage on the building with La Reyna and will file a blanket lien on all
equipment; however it will not fully secure the loan. In the case of default we may recover some of the
loss, however there is no guarantee that any amount will be recovered. Many of our previous CDBG
loans have been secured or partially secured. In cases of default, the City has not recovered significant
amounts, except for The Rack where all funds were recovered. La Reyna requested $100,000; however
upon discussions with the applicant and their current lender, $60,000 would greatly assist their cash flow.
Elliot asked how much would be recovered in case of default, worst case scenario. Hightshoe stated
there is a possibility that the entire $60,000 could be lost in the worst case scenario. The City's lien would
not take precedence over the existing liens in such an event. Hightshoe stated that the recommendation
to fund was also in part due to the grocery store serving a low income neighborhood where there are
limited places to by grocery store items. CDBG funds can be used to fund businesses that provide
necessary goods and service (non-luxury items) to low-income residents. Elliot is uneasy with this
proposal as this is the second unsecured loan in a row. Bailey commented that with this form of micro-
enterprise the City exercises excellent due diligence.
Champion moved to continue with the $60,000 loan, Bailey seconded. Motion carried 2 - 1.
Alpla Expansion Tax Abatement Request:
Alpla is considering a $5 million expansion to their production and warehousing facilities and are
requesting Partial Industrial Property Tax Exemption (PIPTE) or TIF to aid in this expansion. They have
indicated that Iowa City is competing for the expansion with their Jefferson, Missouri location. PIPTE
amounts to about a 45% break on taxes due on the new, improved part of the property. PIPTE can be
automatically done through the City Assessor's office unless City Council would rather implement a TIF
agreement. Alpla is seeking one or both, PIPTE and TIF, which is applicable in this case. One of Alpla's
main customers is Procter and Gamble also located in Iowa City. The current TIF that Alpla has will expire
in three years.

To address concerns of noise associated with Alpla, ambient noise readings were taken north of the plant
in the residential zone and compared with the Pedestrian Mall, City Park, and the intersection of Court
Street and 1st Avenue, all of which were higher than those taken near Alpla. HUD's ambient noise
standards for residential areas rates 65 to 70 dB as undesirable and above 70 dB as unacceptable; the
ambient noise near Alpla averaged around 55 to 57 dB. Registered complaints were from 2 years ago
since which Alpla has made investments to mitigate the noise. Current perceptions of noise are more
likely due to quality of noise as opposed to intensity as suggested by the ambient noise readings. Alpla
has made efforts to ascertain whether there have been any further noise complaints. Champion supports
a shorter tax abatement period since they currently have a TIF. Elliot supports helping Alpla as it has
flourished here and the City has benefited from their presence. Alpla reports that the expansion will add
25 new permanent positions at an average wage of $14 per hour plus benefits.
While Elliot and Champion are willing to help Alpla, they noted a preference for using TIF as it protects
the debt of the taxing bodies. Ford will run some scenarios and produce them to Committee members in
memo format for review prior to including them into a draft agreement. Motion for this issue will be
considered at the next Economic Development Committee meeting on July 24th.
DOWNTOWN MARKET NICHE ANALYSIS - STAFF UPDATE:
Surveys concluded the previous day at midnight at which time there were more than 1,100 consumer
surveys and only 31 business surveys; additional telephone surveys are being conducted by Marketek.
This response rate is considered particularly low in light of the amount of publicity; Bailey is concerned
about the implications of this turnout rate. Champion commented that with regards to small businesses,
the issue may be that time is in short supply and thus a lack of willingness to devote the time to engage in
the survey. Of the consumer surveys there is a good distribution of age ranges. Marketek is currently
analyzing data and planning a site visit in September.
Committee Time:
Elliot wants to keep bankruptcy questions on the application for financial assistance. Bailey commented
about circumstances that lead to bankruptcy, this is especially the case for women and women business
owners. Elliot indicated that he is thinking on the abstract rather than with regards to The Discerning Eye
bankruptcy which was tied to personal rather than business circumstances. Bailey disagreed with Elliot,
stating concern over judging long past personal problems as businesses issues. Champion mentioned
that few small businesses make enough money to live on in the first five years unless they get some help
or significant business. Bailey is comfortable with using the 7 year window standard that banks do with
regard to bankruptcy; Hightshoe reminded the committee that she uses an entire spectrum of due
diligence tools to examine applications.
ADJOURNMENT:
Bailey adjourned the meeting at 9:25 AM. Next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 24, 8:30 AM, in
the City Hall Lobby Conference Room.

July 24, 2007 Council Economic Development Committee
Gluten Evolution LLC
Working Capital
Staff Recommendation:
The applicant has a history of paying loan obligations and is current with all
supplier and bank payments. The owner has made a significant investment into
the company. She is knowledgeable in her field, has experience with research
and development and the product has a growing market. She has had a great
team of advisors assisting her and has a strong lender recommendation in terms
of her commitment to the business, repaying the loan and remaining in business.
She has received and will continue to receive advice and consultation through
the Entrepreneurial Development Center (EDC) in Cedar Rapids. The EDC
helped recruit a chief operating officer knowledgeable in sales and financial
operations.
Since 2005 the cost of goods over sales (margins) is stable and the SGA/sales
(overhead) have decreased. Estimated sales appear high, however lender
believes if the business watches expenses and has increasing sales - the
business will be successful.
Staff recommendation: $50,000, partially secured by a mortgage on the private
residence. Job creation would require 1.5 FTEs. Would not advise creating
additional jobs until cash flow improves. Deferred payment allowed not
exceeding 6 months; however term would remain at 7 years, 3% interest rate.
Nile Valley Restaurant
Staff Recommendation:
The applicant disclosed that the co"'owner filed for bankruptcy in 1997; however
the credit report indicates no past due amounts and demonstrates that the
applicants have a current history of paying loan obligations. The owner is willing
to make a significant financial investment in the business and has experience
with food preparation, storage and handling.
A start up business is inherently more risky than a business that has been in
operation. There,is no security for this loan. The wage for three of the positions
would be over $10.50/hour.
Any funds used for construction would require that the applicant comply with
federal labor provisions, including Davis Bacon prevailing wages. This could
potentially limit what contractors the applicant could use and would increase the
time the applicant must spend with complying with the regulations. It also has
the potential of increasing the price of the work.
Staff recommendation: $25,000 for working capital only to limit risk/exposure
and not subject the project to additional federal regulations. Maximum term of 7
years at 4% interest and new cash projections completed prior to award. Job
creation would require three FTE positions that are paid $10.50/hour or more.
Staff recommends as a condition of the award the owner receive additional
business assistance regarding items such as loss prevention, portion control,
personnel and financial management. The training required would be based on
an evaluation by the Small Business Development Center.
(Note: The City funded Oasis Falafel with CDBG-Economic Development Funds.
The loan was for $25,000,4% interest, 5-year term)

Alpla Expansion TIF request
Alpla, a plastic container manufacturer on Heinz Rd. in Iowa City is seeking a financial
assistance package for a $5 million expansion of their facility. They are requesting a 4 year
$600,000 Tax Increment Financing Rebate. Alpla is a growing plastic bottle manufacturer in our
industrial area supplying packaging to, among others, Procter and Gamble in the same vicinity.
The expansion will enable them to do additional manufacturing and warehousing facilities as
their business grows.
In 2003, the City agreed to provide Alpla with a 5 year, $510,000 maximum TIF rebate
(including a $35,000 grant) to aid in an expansion providing an additional 86,000 square feet to
the original building. In exchange, Alpla was to maintain at least 35 full time jobs. Each year
since certifying completion, Alpla has been in compliance, and expanded operations and added
employees.
Since the initial expansion, Alpla purchased the old General Mills building on adjacent property,
expanded operations at that building and now, would like to expand again with an 82,200
square foot addition at that location.
Alpla now employs more than 200 people full time (most permanent, some temporary) and they
will commit to maintaining 180 permanent full time jobs as well as adding an additional 25
permanent full time jobs with an average wage of at least $14.00 per hour plus benefits.
Construction would begin in the fall of 2007 and be complete in 2008.
They would certify for completion in November of 2009 and their first rebate would be distributed
in June of 2011. The final rebate, provided they had not reached the $600,000 maximum, would
be in June of 2014.
Details of the Development Agreement include the following:
. Making Minimum Improvements consisting of an 82,200 square foot addition and
increasing assessed value on Jan. 1 2009 by at least 15% over Jan. 1, 2007
assessment.
. Alpla would receive 4 annual 1 00% TIF rebates with a $600,000 cap.
. Alpla would agree to not seek Partial Industrial Property Tax Exemptions on the new
building.
· Alpla would agree to maintain 180 permanent full time positions at an average of $14.00
per hour wage or above, benefits.
. Alpla would agree to adding 25 additional permanent full time positions at an average of
$14.00 per hour wage or above, plus benefits.
· Alpla would agree to fully cooperate with the City in the resolution of any traffic, parking,
trash removal, noise or public safety problems which may arise in connection with the
construction and operation of the Minimum Improvements.

ARTICLE V. INSURANCE
Section 5.1. Insurance Requirements.
(a) Upon completion of construction of the Minimum Improvements and at all
times prior to the Termination Date, the Developer shall maintain, or cause to be
maintained, at its cost and expense (and from time to time at the request of the City shall
furnish proof of the payment of premiums on) insurance as follows:
(i) Insurance against loss and/or damage to the Minimum Improvements
under a policy or policies covering such risks as are ordinarily insured through property
policies against risk by similar businesses, including (without limitation the generality of
the foregoing) fire, extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief, explosion,
water damage, demolition cost, debris removal, and collapse in an amount not less than
the full insurable replacement value of the Minimum Improvements, but any such policy
may have a deductible amount of not more than $250,000. No policy of insurance shall
be so written that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage
required by the preceding sentence, by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise,
without the prior consent thereto in writing by the City. The term "full insurable
replacement value" shall mean the actual replacement cost of the Minimum
Improvements (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground
flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items) and equipment, and shall be determined
from time to time at the request of the City, but not more frequently than once every three
years, by an insurance consultant or insurer selected and paid for by the Developer and

$1,000,000.
(iii) Such other insurance, including worker's compensation insurance
respecting all employees of the Developer, in such amount as is customarily carried by
like organizations engaged in like activities of comparable size and liability exposure;
provided that the Developer may be self-insured with respect to all or any part of its
liability for worker's compensation.
- 8 -
(b) All insurance required by this Article V to be provided prior to the
Termination Date shall be taken out and maintained in responsible insurance companies
selected by the Developer which are authorized under the laws of the State of Iowa to
assume the risks covered thereby. The Developer will deposit annually with the City
copies of policies evidencing all such insurance, or a certificate or certificates or binders
of the respective insurers stating that such insurance is in force and effect. Unless
otherwise provided in this Article V, each policy shall contain a provision that the insurer
shall not cancel or modify it without giving written notice to the Developer and the City at
least thirty (30) days before the cancellation or modification becomes effective. Not less
than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any policy, the Developer shall furnish the
City evidence satisfactory to the City that the policy has been renewed or replaced by
another policy conforming to the provisions of this Article V, or that there is no necessity
therefor under the terms hereof. In lieu of separate policies, the Developer may maintain
a single policy, or blanket or umbrella policies, or a combination thereof, which provide
the total coverage required herein, in which event the Developer shall deposit with the
City a certificate or certificates of the respective insurers as to the amount of coverage in
force upon the Minimum Improvements.
( c) The Developer agrees to notify the City immediately in the case of damage
exceeding $250,000 in amount to, or destruction of, the Minimum Improvements or any
portion thereof resulting from fire or other casualty. Net Proceeds of any such insurance
shall be paid directly to the Developer, and the Developer will forthwith repair,
reconstruct and restore the Minimum Improvements to substantially the same or an
improved condition or value as they existed prior to the event causing such damage and,
to the extent necessary to accomplish such repair, reconstruction and restoration, the
Developer will apply the Net Proceeds of any insurance relating to such damage received
by the Developer to the payment or reimbursement of the costs thereof.
(d) The Developer shall complete the repair, reconstruction and restoration of the
Minimum Improvements, whether or not the Net Proceeds of insurance received by the
Developer for such purposes are sufficient.
ARTICLE VI. COVENANTS OF THE DEVELOPER
Section 6.1. Maintenance of Properties. The Developer will maintain, preserve
and keep its properties (whether owned in fee or a leasehold interest), including but not
limited to the Minimum Improvements, in good repair and working order, ordinary wear
and tear accepted, and from time to time will make all necessary repairs, replacements,
renewals and additions.
- 9-
Section 6.2. Maintenance of Records. The Developer will keep at all times proper
books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all

Agreement to any other party unless (i) the transferee partnership, corporation, limited
liability company or individual assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Developer
under this Agreement and (ii) the City consents thereto in writing in advance thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, or any other provisions of this Agreement, (a)
Developer may transfer its interest in and to this Agreement to any affiliate which is
controlled by, under common control with or controls Developer or to any entity that
- 11 -
acquires all or substantially all of the assets of the Developer or to any corporate
successor to Developer by consolidation, merger, or otherwise, and (b) the Developer
may (1) pledge any and/or all of its assets as security for any financing of the Minimum

assignment shall not release the Developer of its obligations hereunder, and the City
agrees in writing that Developer may assign its interest under this Agreement for such
purpose; and (3) the Developer may transfer its ownership interest to a third-party under

ARTICLE VIII. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT GRANTS
Section 8.1. Economic Development Grants. (a) For and in consideration of the
obligations being assumed by the Developer hereunder, and in furtherance of the goals
and objectives of the Urban Renewal Plan for the Project Area and the Urban Renewal
Act, the City agrees to make up to four annual grants to the Developer, subject to the
Developer having received a Certificate of Completion and being and remaining in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement and subject to the terms of this Article VIII.
The annual grants shall commence on June 1, 2011 and end on June 1, 2014, or when the
total of all grants is equal to $600,000. All annual grants shall be equal to one hundred
percent (100%) per fiscal year of the Tax Increments (unless the total grant amount of
$600,000 is reached first) collected by the City with respect to the Minimum
Improvements on Development Property pursuant to Section 403.9 of the Urban Renewal
Act under the terms of the Ordinance (without regard to any averaging that may otherwise
be utilized under Section 403 .19( 6) and excluding any interest that may accrue thereon
prior to payment to the Developer) during the preceding twelve-month period in respect
of the Development Property and the Minimum Improvements, but subject to adjustment
and conditions precedent as provided in this Article (such payments being referred to
collectively as the "Economic Development Grants").
(b) The obligation of the City to make an Economic Development Grant to the
Developer in any year as specified above shall be subject to and conditioned upon the
timely filing by the Developer of all previous annual statements, proofs and certifications
required under Section 6.6 hereof and the City Manager's approval thereof. Beginning
with the November 1, 2009 certification, ifthe Developer's annual statement, proof and
certification is timely filed and contains the information required under Section 6.6 and
the City Manager approves of the same, the City shall certify to the County prior to
December 1 of that year its request for the available Tax Increments resulting from the
assessments imposed by the County as of January 1 of that year, to be collected by the
- 12 -
City as taxes are paid during the following fiscal year and which shall thereafter be
disbursed to the Developer on June 1 of the following fiscal year. (For example, if the
Developer and the City each so certify on November and December 2009, respectively,
the first Economic Development Grant would be paid to the Developer on June 1,2011).
(c) In the event that the annual statement, proof or certificate required to be
delivered by the Developer under Section 6.7 is not delivered to the City by November I
of any year, the Developer recognizes and agrees that the City may have insufficient time
to review and approve the same and certify its request for Tax Increments to the County
and that, as a result, no Economic Development Grant may be made to the Developer in
respect thereof. The City covenants to act in good faith to appropriately review and
consider any late certification on the part of the Developer, but the City shall not be
obligated to make any certification to the County for the available Tax Increments or
make any corresponding payment of the Economic Development Grant to the Developer
if, in the reasonable judgment of the City, it is not able to give appropriate consideration
(which may include, but not be limited to, specific discussion before the City Council at a
regular City Council meeting with respect thereto) to the Developer's certification due to
its late filing. In the event Developer fails to timely file an annual statement, proof or
certificate due to an Unavoidable Delay and, as a result, an Economic Development Grant
cannot be make, Developer may give written notice to the City and, if the City finds that
Developer's failure is due to an Unavoidable Delay, the missed Economic Development
Grant shall be made in the year succeeding the last scheduled Economic Development
Grant under Section 8.1, subject to Developer's filing under Section 6.6 and all other
provisions of this Article VIII with respect to such grant, it being the intention of the
parties to allow four (4) annual Economic Development Grants if Developer is in
compliance with this Agreement.
(d) The total, aggregate amount of all Economic Development
Grants under this Agreement shall not exceed $600,000. Each Economic Development
Grant shall be equal to one hundred percent (100%) of all Tax Increments collected per
fiscal year in respect of the assessments imposed on the Development Property and
Minimum Improvements as of January 1, 2007, and on January 1 of each of the following
four (4) years, until the total, aggregate of all such Economic Development Grants equals
no more than the sum of $600,000. The final grant shall be adjusted, if necessary, if
payment of 100% of Tax Increments for that grant would result in total, aggregate
Economic Development Grants in an amount exceeding $600,000. Such Economic
Development Grants shall at all times be subject to termination in accordance with the
terms of this Article VIII and Article X. Thereafter, the taxes levied on the Development
Property and Minimum Improvements shall be divided and applied in accordance with the
- 13 -
Urban Renewal Act and the Ordinance. It is recognized by all parties that the total
aggregate amount set forth above is a maximum amount only and that the actual payment
amounts will be determined after the Minimum Improvements are completed and the
valuations of said Improvements have been determined by the City Assessor.
(e) In the event that any certificate filed by the Developer under Section 6.6 or
other information available to the City discloses the existence or prior occurrence of an
Event of Default that was not cured or cannot reasonably be cured under the provisions of
Section 10.2 (or an event that, with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would
become an Event of Default that cannot reasonably be cured under the provisions of
Section 10.2), the City shall have no obligation thereafter to make any further payments to
the Developer in respect of the Economic Development Grants and may proceed to take
one or more of the actions described in Section 10.2 hereof.
Section 8.2. Source of Grant Funds Limited. (a) The Economic Development
Grants shall be payable from and secured solely and only by amounts deposited and held
in the ALPLA OF IOWA. INC. - Alpla TIF Account No.2 of the City. The City hereby
covenants and agrees to maintain the Ordinance in force during the term hereof and to
apply the incremental taxes collected in respect of the Minimum Improvements and
allocated to the ALPLA OF IOWA. INC. - Alpla TIF Account No.2 to pay the Economic
Development Grants, as and to the extent set forth in Section 8.1 hereof. The Economic
Development Grants shall not be payable in any manner by other tax increment revenues
or by general taxation or from any other City funds.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.1 hereof, the City shall have no
obligation to make an Economic Development Grant to the Developer if at any time
during the term hereof the City receives an opinion of its legal counselor a controlling
decision of an Iowa court having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof to the effect
that the use of Tax Increments resulting from the Minimum Improvements to fund an
Economic Development Grant to the Developer, as contemplated under said Section 8.1,
is not authorized or otherwise an appropriate project activity permitted to be undertaken
by the City under the Urban Renewal Act or other applicable provisions of the Code, as
then constituted. Upon receipt of such an opinion or decision, the City shall promptly
forward a copy of the same to the Developer. If the circumstances or legal constraints
giving rise to the opinion or decision continue for a period during which two (2)
Economic Development Grants would otherwise have been paid to the Developer under
the terms of Section 8.1, the City may terminate this Agreement, without penalty or other
liability to the Developer, by written notice to the Developer.
- 14 -
(c) The City makes no representation with respect to the amounts that may finally
be paid to the Developer as the Economic Development Grants, and under no
circumstances shall the City in any manner be liable to the Developer so long as the City
timely applies the Tax Increments actually collected and held in the ALPLA OF IOWA,
INC. - Alpla TIF Account No.2 (regardless of the amounts thereof) to the payment of the
Economic Development Grants to the Developer, as and to the extent described in this
Article.
Section 8.3. Use of Other Tax Increments. Subject to this Article VIII, the City
shall be free to use any and all Tax Increments collected in respect of increases in
valuation on the Development Property unrelated to construction of the Minimum
Improvements (Le. increases in assessed or actual value due to market factors) any other
properties within the Project Area, or any available Tax Increments resulting from the
suspension or termination of the Economic Development Grants under Section 8.1 hereof,
for any purpose for which the Tax Increments may lawfully be used pursuant to the
provisions of the Urban Renewal Act, and the City shall have no obligations to the
Developer with respect to the use thereof.
ARTICLE IX. INDEMNIFICATION

indemnified party or its officers, agents, servants or employees.
(d) All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the City
contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements

offer bread and pie mixes made of gluten-free and all-natural ingredients.
The market for the mixes include those with Celiac disease, the failure of one's
body to produce the enzyme that breaks down the protein in gluten, found in
wheat, barley and rye, and others who desire all-natural ingredients. In 2004
their products become available for sale online. Only about 5% of their products
are sold to Iowa City customers. The overwhelming majority of their products are
shipped throughout the United States. They also have an international market
with shipments going to United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
The owner request funds for working capital. Sales increased by 71 % from 2005
to 2006. There is an 11 % increase in sales in the first half of 2007 compared to
the first half of 2006.
Budget & Private Financial Contribution
The applicant requests a $105,000 Iowa City CDBG low interest loan (7-year
maximum, 6 month deferred payment). Applicant has invested $50,000 in
business operations. Owner withdrawals (owner salary) have been sporadic
over the past three years, but not considered excessive.
Comprehensive Plan/CITY STEPS Plan
The project does not require public infrastructure and is located in a CI-1 zone
(intensive commercial). CITY STEPS notes a high priority for the expansion
and/or retention of business that pay at least the living wage and increases full-
time, permanent jobs with benefits.
Quality of Jobs
The business is a woman owned business. The three positions proposed are
two at $12/hour and one at $15/hour with medical benefits.
The business provides goods and services to a segment of the population that
require a gluten-free diet by medical reasons or by preference.
Economic Impact
The proposed CDBG funds will provide a woman owned business access to low
interest working capital. The business is in need of low cost capital to achieve
profitability.
July 2007
Environmental/Community Involvement
The owner provides educational consultation to individuals, non-profit
organizations, schools, hospitals and restaurants in the preparation of gluten-free
foods. She has published articles/recipes for the Celiac Disease Foundation and
others.
Items to Address:
1. The business has been open since 2002, however has not been profitable to
date. Estimated 2008 sales appear high. Business needs to watch expenses
and increase sales to achieve profitability. Expanding by three positions
could potentially delay when the business may become profitable.
2. Business is accumulating credit card debt to pay for business expenses.
Permanent working capital is a long term use, the source of funds, such as a
line of credit, must be long term as well.
3. The owner will accept a mortgage on her personal home. She estimates that
approximately $30,000 could be secured by the home. Will need to discuss
collateral situation and how much of the loan may be secured.
4. Business continues to receive support and guidance through the
Entrepreneurial Development Center in Cedar Rapids and has had
knowledgeable advisors. Staff encourages the business to continue utilizing
this service.

INITIAL REVIEW OF SUMMA ENTERPRISES, LLC
(NILE VALLEY RESTAURANT)
WORKING CAPITAL
Business Proposed:
Nile Valley is a new restaurant that will serve Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food
and gourmet coffee. The business hopes to open late summer/early fall of 2007
at 335 S. Gilbert Street on the ground floor of a multi-unit complex that consists
of 300 apartments.
The owner request funds for working capital, construction and inventory.
Budget & Private Financial Contribution
The applicant initially requested $110,000, but has reduced their request to
$50,000. U.S. Bank has committed to providing a $50,000 5-year loan for
equipment and will secure their loan with a UCC filing statement. Applicant will
invest $70,000 in personal funds to this business.
Comprehensive Plan/CITY STEPS Plan
The project does not require public infrastructure and is located in a CB-5 zone
(central business support). CITY STEPS notes a high priority for the expansion
and/or retention of business that pay at least the living wage.
Quality of Jobs
The applicant proposes to create 9 jobs, 3 full-time and six part-time. The three
full-time jobs will pay $10.50/hour or more, the part time wage is $7.00/hour. No
fringe benefits are paid.
Economic Impact
The proposed CDBG funds will provide a minority owned business access to low
interest working capital. The business is in need of low cost capital for start up
costs.
Environmental/Community Involvement
The business will support Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County, the
Sudanese Association of Iowa City and the Out Reach program for Girl Scouts
with cash contributions/fund raising events.
Items to Address:
1. 100% of the loan for a start up business is unsecured. US Bank would take
a lien on all equipment. The applicant will lease t,he space.
2. The owner has experience in the preparation, storage and handling of food,
however lacks experience in financially operating a for-profit business.
3. The monthly payment for the US Bank loan should be approximately $1,001,
not $766.67 as stated in the application; however the estimated total loan
July 2007
payment with the requested City funds is accurate in the cash flow
projection.
4. The cash flow projection for gross wages is lower than the amount of payroll
generated under the question 3.2. Annual payroll under 3.2 would be
$9,620; the cash flow projection indicates $8,000 by month 12.

Nile Valley Restaurant
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
There is an opportunity in Iowa City to open and operate a successful Middle Eastern!
Mediterranean restaurant that will serve food and gourmet coffee. Ilham Mohamed and
Bederelddin Ahmed have recognized this opportunity and have decided to go forward
with a new company named SUMMA ENTERPRICES, LLC, which will penetrate the
market in the business of operating a Middle Eastern! Mediterranean restaurant to be
named Nile Valley. It will serve a variety of delicious food at competitive prices.
Planning to open August or September of 2007, the building has 2,500 sq. ft, and will be
equipped with one long elegant customer counter to serve all products. The total seating
capacity would be around 50-60 seats.
Nile Valley Restaurant is proud of its main product line, the features, and the benefits
that make up its attractiveness to this ever-growing market. The main features of its core
product include pita wrapped sandwiches of omelets (for breakfast), falafel, fava beans,
gyros, kufta, or complete entrees of shish kebabs served in a traditional style for dine-in
customers. Some of the strengths and capabilities of its core products as it and
availability include the fact that our falafel is made with fresh ingredients such as
chickpeas, which are high in protein, calcium and iron. The Nile Valley Restaurant will
promise to provide an affordable, delicious, healthy and exotic home style meal.
To make this restaurant a reality, the financial need is $170,000. The owners will put
down $60,000 towards the loan. Starting on the building renovations will cost $ 90,000
and $30,000 for the equipments, the rest will go towards three month rent, employees,
utilities, phones, advertising, inventory, supplies and insurance.
MISSION STATEMENT:
The Nile Valley Restaurant will strive to excel in the business of operating a Middle
Eastern! Mediterranean restaurant that serves a variety of delicious food and coffee at
highly competitive prices. What makes our restaurant unique is that we will offer a
courteous and knowledgeable staff of well trained personnel dedicated to providing
exceptional service and we will be open 6:00 am to 9:00 pm to serve our customers hot
meals all day.
LOCATION:
Because of the nature of this business the company has learned that the best place to
locate its restaurant is 335 S. Gilbert St, Iowa City, IA 52240. On the ground floor of a
multi-unit complex that consists of 300 apartments, just half a block away from
Burlington St, near a major parking ramp for downtown Iowa City and the Pedestrian
Mall and only two blocks away from the Iowa City Public Library and one block from
the Robert Lee Recreation Center of Iowa City. This location will give many advantages
to Nile Valley Restaurant such as: residents and business personnel do not need to drive
or leave downtown for a hot meal and the restaurant will generate more revenue.
1
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTUE:
Ilham Mohamed and Bederelddin Ahmed will own and manage the restaurant.
Ilham has been a flight attendant for over thirteen years and has gained a profound
experience in dealing will all kind of passengers all around the world. After immigrating
to the United States with her husband Bederelddin Ahmed, Ilham worked in many odd
jobs which contributed to her learning experience and helped her to appreciate the value
of affordable restaurants. She went back to school and earned an AA degree and a
diploma in Early Childhood Education from Kirkwood Community College and worked
in a child care center for four years. As a lead teacher in Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood
Center, She helped and implemented a monthly menu for 180 children and learned how
to order food from different suppliers and how to maintain proper food storage, as well as
how to handle and comply with the Iowa State health codes. Ilham was promoted to be a
Youth Programs Coordinator, and then to the position of Site Director.
EI-Fatih AI-Siddig, Chef/shift Manager: He has spent five years running his family
restaurant in Sudan, gained ability to supervise and train employees, including scheduling
work assignments and organizing shifts to meet the work need and employees' needs. He
planned the menu through the entire five years of running the business. EI- Fatih has
gained knowledge of the needed supplies, ordering and controlling inventory,
understanding of food safety and storage. Since he immigrated, with his family, to the
United States he worked at Papa Johns Pizza in Texas and Iowa, currently as a store
manager, this experience helped him to learn new skills and equipped him with the
knowledge that he will implement in Nile Valley Restaurant.
Nine new employees: Nile Valley will have nine employees, two chefs (52 hrs/week)
one full time employee (40 hrs/week) and six part time employees (104 hrs/week). We
know how important the organizational structure is to the success of the restaurant, so
each position has a detailed job description as well as a defined relationship to the whole.
Ilham Mohamed will manage the employees.
THE MARKET:
According to the 2003 census the population ofIowa City/ Coralville, was 82,123 people,
and during the school year it increases by 29,745. Median household family income is
$57,568. Downtown Iowa City, where Nile Valley is located, is the most condensed and
populated area. Residents are mostly students and staff of the University of Iowa.
Nile Valley Restaurant has done an exhaustive study of the State's restaurant industry.
We found that it is one of the most exciting industries in the United States. It presents an
ever increasing market, a very healthy bottom line, and an excellent opportunity for
growth. The restaurant has all this to offer and its management team will keep its finger
on the pulse of market demand.
The demand is: quality delicious food, vegetarian or non-vegetarian selection, served by
attentive personnel who provide superior customer service, in a clean comfortable
atmosphere in which the customer can eat and relax.
2
As owners we feel that the Nile Valley Restaurant will meet the demand and will fit
perfectly in this industry. Iowa City has many unique restaurants and always busy, the
city has a highly diverse population and they like to taste international gourmet. It
appears to the observer all over the United States people are too busy to cook or don't
want to cook and if the neighborhood food places are good with great service they will
come and tell about their experience. Nile Valley Restaurant will use its talent to position
itself in the future markets serving a variety of delicious Middle Eastern and
Mediterranean food and coffee at a highly competitive prices and sufficient in today's
demanding market. In addition to this, we will develop and enhance as well as creating
new products and services to keep our position in the marketplace.
PROMOTION STRATEGY:
The management on Nile Valley Restaurant believes very strongly that promotion is a
crucial part of any business success. Our focus will be on extensive mailing to the
residence of Iowa City and Coralville, online Internet exposure through search engine
optimization, Yellow Pages, press releases, special promotions and coupons and
eventually word of mouth.
COMPETITIION:
1. Oasis Falafel Joint Restaurant - 206 N. Linn Street- downtown Iowa City
2. Aladdin Restaurant - 2419 2nd St - Coralville
3. Pita Pit- 113 Iowa Ave - Iowa City
Oasis is seven blocks away from Nile Valley Restaurant, has a smaller building, and
customers often complain about the uninviting atmosphere. Pita Pit is also somewhat
similar but does not use fresh ingredients especially for its main product, the falafel.
Aladdin restaurant also is a small place, highly priced and has an unfriendly staff that
costumers often complain about.
What sets Nile Vallev Restaurant apart from other competitor is:
What sets Nile Valley Restaurant apart from other competitors is its unique location as
visible for the traffic in Gilbert St, has 2,500 sq. ft of well designed space. It is also a few
steps away from a highly condensed students' residence area, and students do not prefer
to travel long distances when they are hungry. The location is also very convenient to
many businesses around the area such as the phone company and the new Greyhound bus
station to name a few.
We are better because we intend to make our restaurant a very welcoming and inviting
place. We noticed this is lacking at other places due to their small area or unwelcoming
environment. We will pay very special and utmost regard for the quality of the services
and food we deliver. Our focus on fresh food and meat will no doubt make a big
different. We observed that our competitors are using ready made mixture for falafel,
which does not taste the same as the fresh mixtures. The same can be said with many
3
other items such as shish-kebab. Weare also better because we offer better prices,
knowing that most our customers are students who cannot afford expensive food.
Proiection of Sales:
We need a least 150 customer per day (in all three meals) with average customer
spending at $6 for food and drink, which will generate sales of $ 900 per/day for the first
six months (150 customers X 30days X $6 = 27,000). We expect customer numbers to
increase to 200 people for the next six months to generate sales of $1200 per/day
(200 X 30 X 6= 36,000). Our goal is to reach 400 customers per/day by the end of the 3rd
year. More details in the attached Monthly Cash Flow Projection.
