Rod Visser said that last week the Hillsborough Board of Adjustment heard the County's <br />application and this was unanimously approved for the addition to the building for the senior <br />center. At the November 2"d meeting, they will bring back a proposed Facility Management <br />Agreement. Also, the Local Government Commission is required to review the proposed <br />financing and approve it. The LGC will need the County's audit from fiscal year 2004-200b and <br />the deadlines do not match up because the contractor is still working on the County's audit. <br />This will push back the LGC review a few weeks. <br />Regarding the financing of the Sportsplex, the County is proposing to borrow $6 million <br />for the acquisition of the Sportsplex, and $300,000 of that will return to the County at closing to <br />be set aside for maintenance issues. The County received favorable interest rate quotes and <br />the staff is recommending that the County Commissioners approve a resolution that would have <br />the Bank of America provide financing at a rate of 3.1 ~°~. <br />Commissioner Gordon asked if the County was still saving money since this was shart- <br />term and Rod Visser said yes. <br />There was no public corr~rrrent. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br />close the public hearing. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br />accept the proposal from Bank of America and adapt the accompanying resolution, which is <br />incorporated by reference. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />9.
