Revolving Loan Chairperson Mayor Cuda reconvened the Revolving Loan
Committee Meeting at 7:10 p..m. on Wednesday, September 16, 1998 noting the
� meeting had been recessed Tuesday, September 15, 1998 at 8:10 p.m.
In response to Alderman Murgatroyd's inquiry, Petitioner Joseph Rubino explained
the two outstanding bank notes referenced in his loan appliaatio�n, �n the amounts
of 542,000 and 550,000 were notes obtained to purchase additional inventory and
cover operating expenses. These notes are secured with reaf estate property
located in Crystal Lake. The only debt on the proposed collateral property is the
existing mortgage with First Midwest Bank.
Some discussion followed regarding the loan amount and interest rates. Revolving
Loan Chairperson Mayor Cuda cited the unusually long period of time between Mr.
Rubino's initial loan application request and the committee's review of said
application. Revolving Loan Chairperson Mayor Cuda noted the delay was due, in
most part, to the pledging of these revolving loan funds to Fabrik, a manufacturing
facility located in the City of McHenry's Corporate Business Park. Fabrik President,
Seth Wagner, just recently released the City from their revolving loan pledge
permitting the reconsideration of Mr. Rubino's application.
It was the suggestion of staff to consider the total project cost for S 176,000 which
includes the two notes in the amounts of 542,000 and 550,000. The loan amount
request would then be for the 550,000 maximum. Alderman Murgatroyd noted
without the loans the total project cost would be reduced to $84,000 allowing a
`.- loan amount of only $42,000 because of the 50% matching requirement.
Staff also recommended a loan term of five years with the $50,000 loan amount
