This is in compliance with CWCS Loan Policy #5 <br />(Collateral). <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends a loan notto exceed $1,818,000 ($1,800,000 for project costs and $18,000 for the <br />1% Loan Service Fee in accordance with CWCS Loan Policy #16), to the Lincoln Park Crooked Ditch <br />Company from the Construction Fund, to rehabilitate their existing piped irrigation ditch.
