Village President’s Agenda items discussed:
Village President Hintz, had Dave Emerick with Blackhawk Bank & Trust explain what Blackhawk Bank & Trust can offer the Village of Carbon Cliff for our banking needs.
• The Village will receive interest on accounts / funds. Currently no interest being paid by Triumph Community Bank, they did not pay interest due to the fact they had to pay to have the Village Funds Pledged or Collateralized.
• Village funds over the $250,000.00 FDIC insured will be properly insured by collateralizing and pledge of funds, without charge to the Village. Currently Triumph Community Bank will start August 1, 2017 charging for the Pledging, etc. over the $250,000.00. Estimated cost to the Village would be $900.00 to $950.00 per month.
• Refinancing the current Orchard Court Drainage Project, the Village would receive 3.0% interest, currently receiving 3.25% at Triumph Community Bank. This will save money & should cut the length of the loan.
• Refinancing the Mortgage on 1001 Mansur Avenue, keeping the same dollar amount for the monthly payment, should be able to cut the term of the mortgage by 9 years. This should be a large savings. Dave Emerick and Clerk Karen Hopkins will work on options for these and present to the Administration Committee Meeting Tuesday July 11, 2017. Committee can look over, ask questions and that time and then recommend to the Board the best choice.
