At the Jan. 6 Rockville Mayor and Council meeting the council approved a consent item related to a county housing loan. Summary:

- Montgomery County loan to Scarborough Square owner: Adoption of a resolution to approve Montgomery County, Maryland’s $1,500,000 Housing Initiative Fund loan to RHE Scarborough Square, LLC (owner of Scarborough Square townhomes and apartments). The motion was moved by Councilmember Lehi, seconded by Councilmember Jackson, and the council voted unanimously in favor (recorded as unanimous in the meeting minutes).

No other legislative items (ordinances, zoning changes or final adoption votes) were taken on Jan. 6; the council spent the session on extended work sessions about Lincoln Park design rules and the Rockville Town Center master plan, which were left as council direction to staff rather than final actions.
