Participants must be permanent employees of the District.

Participants are only entitled to one outstanding loan at a time and may not amend an existing loan by adding additional equipment to the schedule.

The District will allocate $50,000 as initial seed money for the program.

The loan is interest free and the term cannot exceed 24 months.

The total loan amount shall be a minimum of $1,000 and shall not exceed $3,500.

Participants must pay a down payment of 10% of the total estimated purchase price.

A one-time handling fee of $30 will be assessed for all approved applications.
