Refinancing of R-19 Project Loan Notes

A request from the Planning Office reference to refinancing of the R-19
Project Loan Notes—Md. R-19—which are due December 12 was given
favorable action on a motion by Powell and Seidel. It was explained by
Merrill Burhans of the Planning Office that approval not to submit a re-
quisition for private refinancing but to look to the Federal Government
for a direct loan when the outstanding notes become due was asked for by
the Planning and Urban Renewal Office in an attempt to close out the proj-
ect as soon as possible. He estimated an amount of $115,000 as the City's
cash payment to close out the project.
