Discussion:
Shayleen Smith, Executive Director of Blueriver Arts Council, explained how this is what they are still needing for the auditorium. She stated if she kept waiting until she had the money, prices would change. She explains that the intent of this point is to go through the LB840 program, not for a request, just for a loan guarantee and the City will be the guarantor on a loan the Arts Council will enter. Pinnacle has pre-approved the loan and the Arts Council will be the payor. This would be a 1-year revolving loan to give time to come back with grants that are open and pending. Shayleen explained how she is not able to do this another way unless she waits another 6 months and is unable to pledge the building for a loan, as it belongs to the City.
