Town Square Loan Pay-Off  The City ofBlue Lake has a loan balance of $23,500.00 for the original purchase ofthe town square property. The City took out the loan with Redwood Region Economic Development Corporation (RRDEC) to cover the cost of the property purchase and subsequently was able to secure grant funding toj pay off most oft the purchase price. As the earnest money deposit for the purchase of the property was paid, the City was unable to apply the full purchase price to the grant. This has left an outstanding loan balance of $23,500.00 with an interest rate of5%. City staffi is recommending that the Council utilize de-federalized funds derived from Community Development Block Grant loan payoffs to pay off the outstanding balance oft the town squaré loan. The City currently has a fund balance $78,000.00 and the payoff oft the loan is an allowable use, As the loan with RREDc has a high interest rate, the city can save a substantial amount of money by paying offt the loan.
