Application. Any business entity locating or relocating to the county, any non-agricultural business entity expanding within the county, any entity proposing speculative construction within the county, or any entity proposing investment or job creation in an agricultural operation or business in the county may make application on a form approved by the board. An applicant shall file a completed application with the county coordinator, or his/her designee. The application form may be adopted by resolution by the board.

(b)

Review. Upon submittal of an application, the county coordinator or his/her designee shall review the application and, within ten days of submission, notify the applicant of any facial deficiencies.

The county coordinator or his/her designee may consult with other county departments or other entities as necessary in order to perform a complete review. After review of a complete application, the county coordinator or his/her designee will prepare a report to the board regarding the application, which report may include any recommendations regarding award of a grant, any proposed conditions to be placed on an award, and any other relevant information.

A grantee shall be required to enter into an agreement with the county stating that the grantee will satisfy all requirements set forth in the agreement. An agreement shall include any terms of the award of the grant, any conditions on a grant award, revocation provisions if the grantee fails to meet expectations or representations, and any other conditions or provisions deemed appropriate by the board.
