ORDINANCE - Vice Mayor Neighbors stated the purpose of this special meeting was
P.ENFRO to consider an Ordinance related to the closing on the Renfro property
on Bob White Blvd.
Mr. Terwilliger stated this ordinance would authorize the execution
by the Mayor and Town Manager of documents, particularly the deed of
trust, which was before Council. This is the Renfro project on Bob
White Blvd. Under our agreement, we have a commitment to lease this
property to Renfro for a period of 59 months, starting with the time t
project is completed. Council has concurred in the issuance of
Industrial Development Bonds issued by Pulaski County Industrial
Development Authority. Bonds are being secured by a letter of credit
from Sovran Bank. Sovran Bank, in turn, will have a lien on the entire
project which would necessitate the Town giving them the lien on the
real estate.
Mr. Terwilliger stated that in accordance with our original
agreement, we are committing $300,000 to buy the property and this was
the extent of the Town's obligation, from UDAG funding. Reading from
Section 30, Mr. Terwilliger stated the Bond Trustee, the Credit
Institution and Issuer acknowledge that the obligations hereunder shall
be nonrecourse as to the Town. In the event of a foreclosure or deed in
lieu of foreclosure hereunder, the liability of the Town shall be
limited to the value of the Land, and the Bond Trustee and the Credit
Institution shall not look to the Town for the collection of any
deficiency due.
The lease agreement calls for Renfro to pay rent to the IDA and
also pays a separate rent to the Town.
Councilman Glenn made a motion that reading of the ordinance be
waived, seconded by Councilwoman Holston and carried.
