The Housing Finance Agency is loaning the IFC $150,000 for Project Home <br /> Start. The County Attorney has reviewed the loan commitment letter and determined the county <br /> must execute an estoppel and modification agreement. The attached agreement provides that the <br /> County will not evict the IFC from the leased premises without complying with the terms of the <br /> estoppel agreement and will accept a replacement tenant in the event the IFC defaults in its lease <br /> obligations. <br /> Also, the IFC requests the County to enter into an agreement which allows a temporary easement <br /> across County-owned property for an OWASA forcemain and pumping station that will serve <br /> Project Homestart. The IFC agrees to relocate, at its cost and expense,the forcemain and pump <br /> station when a gravity sewer system is available on adjacent property. The attached agreement has <br /> been reviewed by the County Attorney. <br />
