Economic Development Director McDaneld distributed a copy of the Redevelopment Agreement between the City of Salem and Rebecca Carpenter and Douglas Monical that was executed on November 4, 2009. She explained that initially the developers intended to utilize their own funds to complete the project, but have since decided to utilize conventional financing. They have been approved for the entire loan amount of $250,000 by Marion County Savings Bank and in order to close on the loan, the bank is asking to take a position on the collateral of the building. She further explained that the loan will be a typical construction loan that will require the developers to submit costs incurred as they drawdown the money from the bank. This is also the procedure that the City has in place to insure that the
costs associated with the project are TIF eligible. The bank has submitted a subordination agreement that will allow the bank to extend financing to the developers and is asking that the City be willing to subordinate its rights in and to the property to the lien of bank’s mortgage. She further commented that it is anticipated that the drawdown process will take between six weeks to three months to complete and when the entire $250,000 benchmark is met, the City will release the agreement from the property.
Attorney Mike Jones indicated he would add a very short amendment to the Redevelopment Agreement to say that the City of Salem will approve the Subordination Agreement with Marion County Savings Bank not to exceed $250,000.00.
Councilman Black moved and Councilman Huddlestun seconded the motion to amend the Redevelopment Agreement between the City and Rebecca Carpenter and Douglas Monical for property located at 217 W. Main Street (former Bryan-Bennett Library) to provide for the subordination of the City’s interest to the Marion County Savings Bank not to exceed $250,000.00. Roll call vote. AYES: Councilmen Huddlestun, Black, and Carr. NAYS: None. Motion declared carried.
There being no further comments, at 9:06 am, Councilman Black moved and Councilman Huddlestun seconded the motion to adjourn the meeting. Roll call vote. AYES: Councilmen Black, Huddlestun, and Carr. NAYS: None. Motion carried.
