Summary

Council approved Resolution 2025‑77 to proceed with closing documents for the Hilltop project, which staff said includes a loan (~$1.59M) and a grant (~$1.38M); officials said temporary financing is in place and full closing is expected in August.

The council adopted Resolution 2025‑77, authorizing execution of documents required to close on loan and grant components of the Hilltop project.

Staff explained the funding package comprises two pieces: a loan (described in the meeting transcript as approximately $1.59 million) and a grant (approximately $1.38 million). Staff said the loan component carries a modest interest rate and a multi‑year term and that short‑term interim financing (bond anticipation notes) is currently in place while final documents are prepared. The intent is to close the loan and receive grant funds by August.

Council members asked clarifying questions about the difference between the loan and the grant amounts and whether the funding means receiving both pieces (staff said yes: the loan will be obligated and the grant is an additional sum). The council moved, seconded and adopted the resolution on roll call.

Staff said the resolution facilitates finalizing project financing and related administrative steps to complete the Hilltop project.
