•CITY OF SOUTH BEND I OFFICE OF THE CLERK <br />Committee Member Niezgodski requested clarification on neighborhood infrastructure funding <br />and what is included in the budget. <br />Dan Parker responded that the two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) is ARP <br />funding and two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) of structural funding from <br />last year's budget which is broken down for city improvements. A sizable portion will be allocated <br />towards traffic calming. <br />Councilmember Lee inquired of the seven million seven hundred thousand dollar ($7,500,000) <br />recovery fund and how to apply. Lee also requests how many minority businesses have applied for <br />the funding and the date for expiration of the loan program. <br />Dan Parker responded that businesses could apply by reaching out to the RLF team through the <br />city website. He stated he will follow up with the amount of minority businesses that have applied. <br />Dan Parker stated nineteen (19) loans have been awarded to businesses and four (4) of those have <br />went to minority businesses. If loans are not initially loaned out by July 27th° then the remainder <br />of the funds would revert to EDA as part of the agreement however if the loans are loaned out <br />before July, the loans will continue to revolve over years as they are paid back.

It is not an actual program that has been rolled but has a lot of <br />interest due to increasing residential safety and deferring costs. <br />Committee Chair White inquired on how to best utilize the funding programs with access to <br />information and dollars. <br />Caleb Bauer responded that industrial funding was created and controlled since the 1970's by the <br />federal government until the last few years.
