RE:	Mortgage Modification

Background:

The following individual participated in a Community Development Division loan program. 

1) Rosemary J. Seiger, 340 Pleasant Street participated in the Comprehensive Rehabilitation Loan program in 2002.

Based on the program the individual participated in, a mortgage was placed on the property with no monthly payments required.  The balance is due when the property is no longer owner-occupied, however individuals have the option to pay off the loan at any time.  Staff has determined that the property is no longer owner-occupied and has agreed to modify the original mortgage to require monthly payments until the unpaid principal balance is retired.

Staff Recommendation:

The Loan Modification Agreement requires 24 monthly payments of $150.00, and a final payment of $8,900.80, until Mortgagee has received the full sum of the $12,500.80 and the unpaid principal balance is retired.

Action:

Authorize the Mayor to sign the Loan Modification Agreement for Rosemary J. Sieger, 340 Pleasant Street, if appropriate.

The City Clerk will have the documents ready for the Mayor's signature.  If you have further questions, please let me know.
