TO:              David L. Corliss, City Manager

 

FROM:         Margene K. Swarts, Assistant Director, Development Services

DATE:           February 25, 2009

 

 

 

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 2002, Vicki Phares, 3926 Overland Drive, participated in the HOOT First Time Homebuyer 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. Phares wishes to refinance the first mortgage.  In order to do this, the City must subordinate its mortgage to the new loan with Capitol Federal Savings Bank.  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.
