HEARING re: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application; Olympic
Microloan Fund: Chairman Johnson opened the public hearing. Tamer Kirac, Executive Director of the
Economic Development Council, explained that the EDC is under contract with the County to provide
technical assistance and one of their obligations is to help the County put together a CDBG application for
the Olympic Microloan Fund. He noted that handouts are available for the public which explain the
availability ofCDBG grant funds, federal citizen's participation requirements, and the grievance procedure.
Ruth Ann Halford, Cascadia Revolving Fund, stated that the Olympic Microloan Fund was established in
1997 by several counties who felt there was a need to encourage small businesses that could not get funding
from traditional lending institutions because they were considered high risk. Currently 9 counties participate
in the program. Grays Harbor County was the lead for many years until Jefferson County became the lead in
2003. The application for the CDBG grant is for $250,000.
These loans are $25,000 or less to small business owners who must be low to moderate income or their
employees must be. The fund has helped approximately 40 businesses. A local Loan Review Committee
reviews the applications and awards the funding. Cascadia Revolving Fund manages the funding and
provides technical assistance.
