To continue processing applications a new <br />agreement is necessary, and CEE has proposed an amendment to the current agreement which would extend the <br />present agreement through 2023. The amendment does not incorporate a change in fees for this upcoming year; <br />however, it is anticipated that the fees would be subject to an increase in 2024. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />The agreement has an annual fee of $2,500 plus fees associated with the closing of each loan. The program <br />budget of $150,000 for 2022 would allow CEE to approve and disburse up to that amount from the HRA fund <br />in 2023. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The goal of the HRA is to improve existing housing stock by offering incentives or programs to repair and <br />maintain residential properties. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> Loan Origination Agreement, as Amended <br /> Proposed Amendment Two <br /> Updated 2023 Program Budget <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity <br />
