Summary

After discussing whether loan applicants should be required to attend review meetings, the Vernon County committee agreed to encourage attendance and permit five-minute presentations when applicants participate, and did not alter the policy manual.

The Vernon County Economic Development Committee discussed a proposed change to loan review procedures on May 7 and decided not to require applicant attendance but to encourage it.

Jon Bingol noted that historically the committee preferred applicants not attend review meetings. Scott Champion recommended that, if applicants do attend, they be allowed a five-minute presentation before a closed session. The committee concluded it would encourage applicant attendance, permit a five-minute presentation, and make no change to the policy manual.

The committee’s decision is procedural: staff will invite applicants to attend and will allot up to five minutes for applicant presentations when they do. No formal amendment to the loan policy was adopted at this meeting.
