HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_0422 (2)Request for Approval of Financing Documents for the New Social Services Building:
Finance Director Blumenstein said a small delay in approving the financing documents would
not cause a problem. (She mentioned this due to the bids not being awarded.) Mrs. Blumenstein
did say, however, that the interest rate of 3.59% expired on October 29, 2004, and once the bids
were awarded, certain insurance and bond requirements had to be provided by the bidders prior
to the actual closing. Mrs. Blumenstein said, and the county attorney agreed, that the financing
would not encumber the entire Eastside Drive site -- merely the area occupied by the social
services building.
Commissioner Tice asked Mrs. Blumenstein to share with the public the amount of
county dollars versus the state dollars involved in the construction of the new building.
Blumenstein said the county would receive a 50% reimbursement on the interest involved
in the financing. She said that on the building, the reimbursement would be amortized over the
life of the facility, not to exceed 25 years.
OTIO by Chairman Johnson to postpone this matter until the next meeting.
