NEW BUSINESS
Discussion and Approval of Collateral Requirement Release Regarding the Revolving Loan
Fund for Legacy Landscaping.
Mayor Petfalski stated this is a request by the owners to remove the Letter of Credit as
collateral on the loan.
Director of Finance and Administration Mueller provided the outstanding balance on the
loan as December 31, 2021 is $89,161.58.
Both owners, Mr. Schure and Mr. Lewitzke carry $50,000 liens on their personal homes as
additional collateral for the loan. There is currently a Letter of Credit in the amount of $87,500
which costs the owners $1,000.00 to renew each year. The owners are trying to save this
yearly expenditure claiming that the liens on their personal homes should protect the City in
case of a default on the loan.
Attorney Warchol explained the liens on the homes are currently in the third position
behind the owners' mortgages and home equity lines of credit, which doesn't adequately
protect the City in the event of default on the loan; he recommends maintaining the Letter
of Credit as collateral.
Alderperson Wolfe made a motion to remove the liens from the owner's personal
homes and maintain the Letter of Credit. Alderperson Kubacki seconded. Motion
Carried.
