Performance Obligations Pursuant to Dianne Reid, 245-2326
Recorded Agreement between
Orange Enterprises and Orange
County
B) Letter from First National Bank and
Draft Deed of Trust
PURPOSE: OE Enterprises, Inc. (formerly Orange Enterprises) has secured a commitment
from First National Bank for $190,000 for the purpose of financing building improvement costs.
The bank requires the following prior to closing:
1) Written consent from Orange County acknowledging and approving this new
indebtedness;
2) Confirmation from Orange County that the Deed of Trust which will secure this loan shall
be given priority to the recorded agreement between OE Enterprises, Inc. and Orange
County dated April 26, 2005 (the Agreement); and
3) Written statement from Orange County that acknowledges violations of covenants
referenced in said agreement and waives its exercisable rights associated with said
violations for the purpose of facilitating this transaction and advancing the continuation of
OE Enterprises, Inc.'s mission.
OE Enterprises seeks the Board of County Commissioners' approval for these assurances.
BACKGROUND: Last year, Orange County made a commitment to contribute $825,000 to OE
Enterprises, Inc. (then known as Orange Enterprises) toward the purchase price and building
support for property located at 348 Elizabeth Brady Road. The initial County support for the
project in FY2005 was $525,000, with an additional $100,000 committed for FY2006, FY2007
and FY2008.
The Agreement specified that the premises may be subjected to a deed of trust in favor of a
commercial lending institution in an amount not to exceed $715,000. The original bank loan at
the time of acquisition was $525,000. As of April 24, 2006, according to the Bank, the balance
on the original note is $459,511.13. This amount, added to the proposed loan, totals
$649,511.13, and within the $715,000 limit.
OE Enterprises closed on the property on April 13, 2005. However, because of extensive
renovations, OE did not move into the property until January 30, 2006, and was therefore
unable to implement its expansion plans in the timetable envisioned in its original business plan.
As a result, OE Enterprises has fallen short of its employment goals as follows:
2005-2006 Actually Achieved
Projection as of 3/31106
Employees 225 192
Orange County 166 175
Residents
Employees with 164 127
Disabilities
New jobs for employees 11 8
With disabilities
New jobs for non- 9 5
Disabled em to ees
It should be noted that the. projection numbers are for the end of the fiscal year, which occurs
June 30. As of the end of March, OE Enterprises has exceeded its projection for the number of
Orange County residents employed but has not reached the projected numbers in the other four
categories. While additional job creation is projected for the second quarter, these employment
goals may not be achieved.
OE Enterprises, Inc. has not yet conveyed to Orange County a Conservation Easement
extinguishing alt development rights on the property in the flood hazard area of the Eno River.
County staff has now received a survey of the premises which will be utilized to identify the
conservation easement area; staff and the County Attorney will proceed with developing the
easement agreement.
Attachment A summarizes all other performance obligations. The Economic Development
Commission will monitor the conditions of the Agreement as described in the summary.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board consider the request by
OE Enterprises for new indebtedness and communicate same to First National Bank.

Attachment A
Update on OE Enterprises, Inc. Performance Obligations
OE Enterprises' performance obligations are spelled out on pages 7-10 of the Agreement.
#3 states that OE shall purchase the premises for $950,000 and make improvements of
$300,000. Further, it notes that the commercial lending institution's deed of trust shall not
exceed $715,000. These points are addressed in the abstract and no further financing is
anticipated.
#4 provides that OE Enterprises will insure the premises, pay all taxes, assessments, and
utilities, and maintain the property. The EDC will visit the premises annually to visually inspect
the property. Staff will also require annual proof of insurance and documentation that taxes,
assessment and utility charges have been paid.
#5 specifies:
• the employment obligations, which will be reported by OE Enterprises to the EDC
quarterly;
• the payment to staff of a living wage and to consumers of a commensurate wage, both of
which will be reported to the EDC annually within 45 days of the end of the fiscal year;
and
• the development of an "affirmative enterprise." OE Enterprises will report progress on
this goal annually within 45 days of the end of the fiscal year.
#6 covers the conveyance of a Conservation Easement. As mentioned in the Abstract, OE has
provided a survey on which the Easement will be based. Staff will develop a plan for completing
the Easement and monitoring it to the Board of County Commissioners by Fall, 2006.
#7 specifies that OE will keep the premises in safe condition and in good repair. The annual
monitoring visit by the EDC will verify compliance.
The EDC will also receive and review quarterly Profit and Loss statements and the end of year
