Council approves CDBG loan despite concerns about collateral location
Summary
Council approved a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) loan after discussion about the collateral being located in Warren County and the program’s revolving nature; staff said the revolving fund balance was nearly $80,000 and principal repayments replenish the fund.
Council reviewed a CDBG loan request during the special meeting and members expressed concern that the proposed collateral securing the loan sits in Warren County rather than in Luray. One councilor described the loan as the largest they had seen in recent experience and said they were "a little concerned" about the size of the disbursement from the fund.
Staff explained the loan program is a revolving fund that is replenished as principals are repaid and noted the last time-account check showed nearly $80,000 on hand. After discussion and confirmation that standard underwriting and collateral considerations were in place, a motion to approve the loan request "as presented" was moved and seconded and carried by roll-call vote.
The council did not alter the loan terms on the floor; members who expressed reservations noted the fund had been carefully reviewed and appeared adequately collateralized.
