response to a question about the Council Auditor’s comfort with this
refinancing, Janice Billy of the Council Auditor’s Office stated that the
office is always concerned when the City is in a secondary position on a loan
with unsecured rights, but at least the Rules substitute provides for some
additional principal payments to the City.
Wight Greger, Director of Housing and Neighborhoods, stated that it
