Commissioner Harry B. Ger-lac- h, , the proposer of the loan fund concept, said the county could lose federal dollars if a city project does not pass, federal CDBG criteria and not enough time remains to reallocate the grant. He said while a city like Fruit Heights might not qualify for a loan, the money being repaid into the fund could be lent out again or even given as an outright grant to the city. Bountiful Mayor Dean Stahle said the executive committee felt the philosophy of the CDBG funds were to build communities and provide more jobs. He said helping businesses would boost the overall tax base in the county and interest from the loan fund would build the fund up and grants could also be made for specific projects. Small businesses with an employee rate of under 100 would be emphasised in the program. We feel it is important to help the county area, said Stahle. What is good for Davis County is certainly good for Layton and other areas. County Planning Director Rick Mayfield said the executive committee would approve the loans on a first come, first serve basis. Businesses applying for loans will be screened and the program ' does not eliminate loans from banks and other lenders, he said. The COG would provide about 20 percent of the amount needed, a bank or commercial lender would provide about 70 percent and theborrower would provide the remaining 10 percent. The loan program will provide a lower rate of interest and make possible financing for small businesses and private industries that otherwise couldnt afford the interest rate, he said. Mayfield said afterwards the money will have to be loaned out this year and applications for loans could be taken as early as April. , COG members approved the executive committees recommendation with West Bountiful Mayor Grant Secrist voting against the split program propos. - al.

Each project will be given seven minutes for a presentation and question session and then COG members will rank the project on a ballot system.

These changes will reduce the capability of processing waste in Davis County from 500 tons per day to 400 tons and jeopardize potential revenue by eliminating the ability to generate electricity for sale.
