Fiscal Note
By resolution No. 13114, adopted, February 3, 2009, the City approved a new request by the YWCA of Madison, Inc. for $250,000 as part of its refinance and rehabilitation of the building at 101 E. Mifflin Street. In addition, existing notes on the building were combined into one promissory note in the amount of $340,456.50. This combined deferred loan is secured by a mortgage on the property. The YWCA is seeking to borrow $300,000 from Forward Community Investments to pay a portion of rehabilitation costs. To secure this loan, FCI requires that it have a first mortgage on the property which means that the City would have to subordinate its interest to second place.
Title

Body
Background: The property at 101 E. Mifflin Street contains a total of 102 residential units serving single women, single women with small children and homeless families with children. The building also includes administrative office for the YWCA's many programs.
