They have agreed to put it on the agenda for July 19, 1999. Based on that, if we can then publish notice on July 25' or August 1S` and have the public hearing on August 16'. I think we can assume that no problem will arise during the public hearing and that we can have the bond resolution adopted on the 16t' after the public hearing and then proceed to close. The City has also forwarded to us a copy of its Ordinance relating to it its charges for the issuance of the bonds, and have attached a copy of that. I believe that the Borrowers are aware of the City's charge and that this will not change their desire to proceed. The City will not require that this be paid until closing, but it can be paid at any time. Please let me know about that. Unless we hear otherwise, we will proceed with having the enclosed resolution acted on at the July 19 meeting. a LE -ME Distribution List First Amended and Restated Industrial Development Revenue Note Kalispell Center Limited Partnership Project Melissa Sachs Washington Trust Bank P.O.
