Director Thornhill also presented changes in the Program as follows: 1) a rebate program has been negotiated, and the terms of the changed stipulated judgement for the Old Town subzone of the RDA now permits this type of loan; 2) it has been determined that non-conforming signs can be identified as legal non-conforming signs which will allow the merchants the opportunity to bring them into conformity. With the changes staff requests approval. Assistant City Manager Mary Jane McLarney responded that the ability to repay the loan along similar criteria as is associated with SBA loans will be applied. Agency Member Roberts also asked the possibility of tieing the loan into the rebate program. He asked specifically if a merchant can request one-half of the cost as a rebate and one-half of the cost in the form of a loan from the Agency. Senior Planner Meyer will look into that for the Agency Members. Chairperson Parks called for a recess at 9:10 PM to replace the tape. The meeting was reconvened at 9:1 1 PM. Senior Planner Meyer stated the Facade Improvement Program is an incentive program lasting four years with the first year offering a cash bonus for voluntarily removing non-conforming signs without distinguishing between non-conforming and legal non-conforming signs. Chairperson Parks expressed his appreciation for staff efforts on this program. He also stated that staff will be available to set up a store front office for the purpose of explaining the program, providing informational hand-outs and to take applications from the merchants. Staff responded that was the way it would be handled. It was moved by Agency Member Roberts, seconded by Agency Member Lindemans to approve staff recommendation as follows: 4.1 Amend the Facade Improvement and Non-conforming Sign Removal Program.
