MINUTES: 4A Board June 11, 2003 PRESENT: Bill Fuller, Gordon Lurry, Carroll McNeill, Vickie Jenkins, Richard Muir OTHERS PRESENT: City Manager Jack Smith, City Secretary/ Assistant City Manager Rose Chavez, Assistant City Secretary/Administrative Assistant Samantha Renz 1. Richard Muir caJled the meeting to order. 2. a) CONSENT AGENDA Approve Minutes: May 8, 2003 Minutes approved unanimously. 3. Citizen's Input None. 4. Consider and Possible Action on Changing Loan Payment Procedures on Current 4A Loan with GNB. Discussion regarding previous meeting. Vickie Jenkins indicated the balance on the GNB Note is $599,000. 00. She indicated they are ahead about $87,000.00. When the loan was made to Wal-mart, they voted to maintain one year's worth of payments in the money market account. Everything else collected goes toward the GNB note. They have almost paid one year ahead by doing this. They are one year ahead on the note and have one year's reserve in the bank. If they wanted to fund Miguelito's, they would not have to borrow more money. Her thought was to pay less on the loan and accumulate more money in the account. At this point they could pay cash for Miguelito's and Babe's. By making the minimum payments they will still stay one year ahead and be able to accumulate funds in the account. Gordon Lurry asked how long before the sewer line project will be started. Staff indicated it will go before Council on Monday. The bid packets will be sent out soon after that. Discussion regarding the sewer line project. Carroll McNeill asked how this project would affect the plan Vickie Jenkins outlined. .; • Vickie Jenkins indicated it would not affect it. When the sewer line project is done they will borrow the money at that time. Discussion regarding the sewer line project. Bill Fuller asked if, in the future, a project came before the board requesting about $150,000.00, with the commitments that have been made, how would it affect them being able to fund another project. He asked if they could structure this to make sure they would be able to fund a project if they chose to. Gordon Lurry indicated they would first have to decide ifit was economic development, if it would be a benefit and if they wanted to fund it. At that time they would decide the finance part of it. Bill asked again if they wanted to fund a project, what would be their ability -would they have to borrow money, and if so, over what period of time would that loan be amortized and how much would that payment be. Richard Muir indicated they would look at extending the current GNB note. Discussed the current loan was at a variable interest rate. Vickie Jenkins moved to reduce the payments to the required amount and put the balance in the money market at this time. Carroll McNeill seconded. Motion carried unanimously. 5. Meeting Adjourned .

Street Sanger, Texas 76266 Mr. Richard Muir, Chairman & Board Members Sanger Industrial Development Board Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am very pleased to formally inform you that Babe's of Sanger will not need a penny of the funds you agreed to loan us. Although Babe's is not yet profitable, it will be this spring. We have been close to · break.even cash flow from day one including debt service. I would not have brought Babe's to Sanger without the commitment you made to me. lbis has turned out to be a win / win deal. I have a successful business and you, very deservingly, get the credit for bringing us to Sanger. We are already contributing to the tax revenues by our sales and indirectly by other expenditures while our guests are in town. The current numbers should double or more in the next two years. Other than your time, sweat and worry the cost to the Citizens of Sanger is zero. Thank you for the action you took. You deserve to know your city employees could not have been more helpful. Beginning with Mr. Jack Smith and everyone who works with him the experience has been great. lt;f)Y_ r) Pa-;;/ v'in;;d ) ~ President, Owner Cc: Mr.Jack Smith, City Manager *** CUSTOMER PROFILE . *** RELATEDS CITY OF SANGER 75-6000661 SA"~~R TEXAS INDUSTRIAL D (940) 458-7930 Pl 1729 SANGER TX 76266· *** DEPOSITS *** ACCOUNT CUR BALANCE YTD AVG BALANCE EFF RATE DATE OPENED DDA 9 000 2069 3 3,922.33 3,302.59 0.10000 12/16/1998 2 DDA 9 025 5127 3 148,4n.67 146,241.11 1.19000 5/16/2000 3 C/D 9 000 6732 8 .00,.,... .oo 0.00000 2/07/2000 4 C/D 9 000 6738 6 .00 .00 0.00000 3/08/2000 5 C/D 9 000 6751 6 .00 .00 0.00000 4/07/2000 6 C/D 9 000 6759 8 .00 .00 0.00000 5/07/2000 !OTAL DEPOSITS TOTAL LOANS (ENTER LINE NBR • NL TO CONTINUE· 99 FOR TOTALS) February 19, 2004 To: 4A Board of Directors From: Jack Smith , Memorandum Subject: Downtown Sidewalks P41 I spoke with the Texas Comptrollers office, "downtown sidewalks" !! a project that may be funded with 4A funds. The Board should decide today if they wish to pursue funding any of the project and to the amount they wish to fund. Then a public hearing must be conducted before the Board can actually vote to expend the funds. ( Both of these items may be done at the same meeting) If the Board decides to fund any of the project, then the Board sends to the City Council for their approval.
