Finance staff said the revolving loan fund holds about $214,000 and proposed allocating $200,000 to encourage lending; the committee also reviewed a $450,000 Bell Holdings loan (2.5% over 10 years) with roughly $386,000 remaining and a total payback of about $513,005.90.

The presenter recommended directing additional funds to the county's revolving loan fund to support business expansion loans and economic development efforts.
