Debt is not the Same as Reserve or Set Aside Funds

Do you remember when Council Member Jim Miller asked for detail on the funding arrangement for the Senior Housing Development the answer was, we'll get that to you... it all hasn't been documented yet... Well folks here is a big chunk of it... Remember the Schwab saying we have money we need to spend... When you say the words Bond, that is a LOAN... that has to be paid back with interest.... and further more all cities and muni's have been down graded so the cost will be hire now than when the project began.

Oh remember all those "Reserves that were Supposed to be available for this specific part of the RDA Funds"...

Oh and remember how the Corp for Better Housing was going to be the owner and management of the Facility... not some sub unit of a spin off business that has no assets to attach if there is something wrong... or goes wrong in the future... this will put all the risk on the City of GT, who is not the owner of the building after all....

Were we not told that the Building and Land was being built with the agreement that the COBH Leased the land, and owned and operated the building until the end of lease at which time the land and remaining old building will be the City of Grand Terrace's... (No Doubt it will also be a building that will need to be removed at City Expense.)

Well, enjoy the burden...
