1. The prohibition on the use of funds for the operation, construction or expansion of a casino, a <br /> sport facility that that has a professional sports team as a principal tenant or any firm engaged in <br /> retailing merchandise. <br /> 2. The requirement that each employee receive total compensation including benefits not <br /> mandated by law, shall be the greater of$15/hour or 150% of federal minimum wage, <br /> whichever is greater, exclusive of benefits (this wage requirement differs from the limit set forth <br /> in the MIF loan statute which requires wages at 110% of the federal poverty level for a family of <br /> 4 due to our city's subsidy policy). <br /> 3. The limitation of uses under"General Purpose and Guidelines," "Eligible Expenditures," <br /> "Eligible Activities" and "Eligible Projects." <br /> 4. The job listing requirements for loans over $200,000 and the prevailing wage requirements for <br /> loans over$500,000. This may not be an issue because the maximum loan available in the <br /> program is $200,000. <br /> Are these requirements so burdensome that it's worth returning 20% of the funds in the Jobs Incentive <br /> Microloan Fund to have unlimited use of the remaining 80%? <br /> Many of these limitations may already be consistent with the city's current policy goals relating to job <br /> creation and incentives. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Of the $221,961.62 balance in the MIF RLF account, $66,000 could be returned to reserves or the <br /> Microloan Fund and 20% of the remaining balance, or $31,192.32, could be returned to the state leaving <br /> $124,769.30 to be used by the EDA without limitations <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ RLF Exemption Request Form <br /> ■ Job Incentive Microloan Policy <br /> ■ Balance Sheet <br />
