Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Agreement Pro orals
The City submitted requests for proposals to eight local banks for
4he purpose of administering the City's Commercial Rehabilitation
Loan Program, Six proposals were received. After discussing the
proposals at the last work session, it was Council's consensus to
allow all six banks to participate in the program provided they
agree to 1) an interest rate of 9.5%; 2) maximum loan amount of
$40,000; 3) a loan origination fee of $75.00; and 4) loan payback
to be five years. It was Council's thought that this approach
