CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION DRAFT 221 Ms. Lynch said the interfund loan would carry a one percent interest, Mayor Rafferty 222 asked about the implications of no interest. Administrator Cotton remarked that interest 223 has typically been charged because the funds loaned would otherwise be in reserve and 224 gaining interest. Ms. Lynch explained the financing process, including that the loan 225 would be paid by a capital equipment levy that would begin in 2024. Councilmember 226 Stoesz asked how many years one would expect to utilize this equipment and Director 227 L'Allier estimated 25 to 30 years. 228 229 Councilmember Cavegn said he'd prefer a no interest loan.
