DEVELOPMENT MANAGER REPORT
Bill mentioned that he had forgotten something that was stipulated in the LRA agreement that was done last month. The LHA cannot do positive arbitrage with any of the Lakewood Refinancing monies. In discussing this with Kate, Bill wants to congratulate Kate for coming up with the idea to split the loan into two loans with the monies from the Maplewood money will be at an interest rate of 5.25% which is a wash with the interest rate. The interest rate for the other monies will be about 10.75 %, which will give the board the 8% rate previously discussed. Bill commended Kate on her creative thinking.
