Res. #12 -019 — Authorizing Repayment of Loan Between Funds (General Fund to Sewer Fund) Administrator explained that when the City purchased the Public Works building located at 2085 West Cedar Street, monies were utilized from the Sewer & Water Funds as a loan with an interest rate of 1.5 %. It was anticipated that the funds would be paid back when the old Public Works building, 7085 — 20 Avenue, was sold and that it would only be a short period of time before it happened. Due to the downturn in the economy, this has not happened and is unknown when it will happen. Administrator Larson stated that the General Fund had ample funding to allow for the loan payoff. At such time as a sale of the older building occurs, the General Fund would receive those revenues. Page 4 of 6 8
