Motion: I hereby move to rescind the loan proposal from Wayne Bank, dated December 19, 2023 and accepted by the Borough on December 31, 2023, regarding the financing of a fire truck, for work on the Beade Street project and for the purchase of real estate located at 130 Downing Street, Plymouth. PA. The reason is due to the delay in obtaining a purchase agreement for the Downing Street property and the fact that the fire truck will not be completed for delivery until approximately three years from now. Therefore, in order to obtain tax exempt financing, as opposed to commercial rate financing, for these projects, the borrowing will be done at a later date closer to delivery on the fire truck and closer to the closing date for the purchase of the Downing Street property. The Borough is in the process of obtaining Tax Exempt financing for the Beade Street project. MR. CUNNINGHAM____ MR. MOREHART ____ MR. DIXON, V.P. ____ MS. EROH ____ MR. THOMAS____ MR.
