MEMORANDUM

 

TO:              David L. Corliss, City Manager

 

THRU:                        Victor Q. Torres, Assistant Director, Development Services

 

FROM:         Margene K. Swarts, Community Development Manager

 

DATE:           December 19, 2007

 

 

 

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 April, 1996, Marilyn Figuieras, 2044 Emerald Drive, participated in the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Loan 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. Figuieras wishes to refinance the first mortgage.  In order to do this, the City must subordinate its mortgage to the new loan with Countrywide Home Loans.  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.
