cilman Saverud explained that the City, will be reimbursed a $7,000,000 UDAG loan and
this loan goes hand in glove with the Industrial Revenue Bonds. The Ordinance will be
amended by adding SECTION II which will read: "Bonds issued in conjunction with financ-
ing of projects under Section 119 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974
or its successor are exempt..from the Administratve Fee specified in Section I." The fee
is $2.50 per thousand and on $10,000;;0O0 IRB, this would amount to $25,000.

fee and it seemed fair at that time.
Councilman Saverud explained further that the fee has never been collected because the
two firms that have sold bonds did so before the ordinance was passed.

should stay as is. Question called. Councilmen Saverud, Nystul, Manning and Palmer
