Mr. Marier told the Council he is very uncomfortable with the 35% letter of credit for Rice- Lake -Estates and Ulmer's Addition, the shortness of the bond issue and the idea that if the developer misses one -bond payment, the City will seize land. He would like the Council - --to take another look at this issue since this project is now a City project and not a petitioned project. He felt the project should go forward, but felt the citizens and the City should be protectced. He proposed for Council consideration; (1) extend the bond from 1.0 to 15 years; (2) if contractor misses one payment that we get those costs of that payment from the letter of credit and not seize his land until the second payment is due; (3) consider 52 - 57% letter of credit. Also he would suggest the increase in interest because of the extension of the bond be paid by the contractor; protection of the low income people by deferred assess- ment payments until the status of the people change and using Community Development Block Grant Fund to pay the assessments of those who. qualified.
