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 2000, Donna Williams and Jean Dixon, 1601 Kenwood Drive, participated in the First Time Homebuyer program.  In order to participate in the program, they were required to sign a Mortgage and Mortgage Note to protect the City’s interest in the property.  Ms. Williams and Ms. Dixon wish to refinance the first mortgage.  In order to do this, the City must subordinate its mortgages to the new loan with Beneficial Kansas Inc.  The City’s interest will be protected and staff recommends approval. 

 

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