This will be the amount of the short-term loan application. This was discussed and supported by EFC that a more conservative number is advisable. 2. The item of the existing $480,000.00 outstanding BAN for the study work was discussed. The preferred option of paying this back would be to use proceeds from the Short-term financing, however, that must be in place by July 10th, 1999 when the BAN becomes due. To that end, we should include this in the application form made to be received short-term financing. . Constance O. Smith Town Board Phase 3A-Financing - 3 - April 5, 1999 If the short-term monies do not become available by July 10th, 1999, then the BAN would be rolled-over in a private sector issuance for a period of sixty (60) days at which time the short-term funds could repay the note. Sal indicated that he needed approximately one (1) week's time prior to the due date to initiate this short-term note. 3. There was a discussion regarding all the new monies that would be necessary between April and August, which is when the short-term monies will become available. To utilize existing funds in the Town's B-Fund line item, Jerry Terwilliger must preparereso!utions for the Town Boatd to transfer these funds from B-Fund to capital. The amount of funds that should be transferred was discussed. This amount should be $200,000.00. 4. It was further discussed that Sa!. AI, Matt Rudikoff and myself would send proposed contracts to Supervisor Smith in anticipation of the application to EFC for Short-term and Long-term financing.
