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 2004, Gale Fleming, 204 N. Minnesota, participated in the Comprehensive Housing Rehabilitation 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. Fleming wishes to refinance the first mortgage.  In order to do this, the City must subordinate its mortgage to the new loan with Countrywide Bank, FSB.  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.
