1. ORDINANCE 456 - NEW MEXICO FINANCE AUTHORITY LOAN AGREEMENT.
Mr. Michael Jaramillo presented item one. Village of Los Lunas is requesting to enter in to a loan agreement with NMFA for obtaining a
water construction loan in the principal amount of $3,478,955.43. Due to the rate increase, there were four capital outlay items that we
projected that the Village would pursue – one of them was the sludge management project, the north waterline loop Phase I and Phase II as
well as the rehab of well 3, other minor capital improvements and operational expenses. We also have an $800K subsidy, which does not
have to repaid. We want to complete the north waterline loop Phase I (the larger of the two). The loan rate will be about 1% over a 20-year
period. We need ordinance adopted so that it can be published for the next 30-days. Mayor Griego asked Council if there were any questions
– Councilman Munoz inquired about the loan and the rate. Mayor Griego asked the public if there were any questions/concerns– there were
none. Mayor Griego asked for a motion from Council to close public hearing and reconvene in regular council meeting.
