TO:              Mike Wildgen, City Manager

 

THRU:            Victor Torres, Director, Neighborhood Resources

 

FROM:         Margene K. Swarts, Community Development Manager

 

DATE:           June 21, 2005

 

 

 

The Community Development Division received a request for a Subordination Agreement for a Mortgage the City holds for a loan recipient.  The information regarding the request follows:

 

In September, 1997, Ruth Townsend, 1061 Home Circle, participated in the HOOT First Time Homebuyers Program.  In order to participate in the program, she was required to sign a Mortgage and Mortgage Note to protect the City’s interest in the property.  Ms. Townsend wishes to refinance the primary mortgage.  In order to do this, the City must subordinate its mortgage to the new loan with Central National Bank.  The City’s interest will be protected and staff recommends approval. 

 

The City Clerk will have the document for the Mayor's signature.  If you have further questions, please let me know.
