    UDOT State Infrastructure Bank loan agreement (Resolution 23-08C)

    Approved

    The resolution authorizes a loan agreement with the State of Utah's State Infrastructure Bank for $5,300,000 over 15 years at 3.25% interest, delegates authority to officers to approve final terms within parameters, and covers publication of notice, a contest period, an interlocal agreement with the Redevelopment Agency of Sandy, a tax increment pledge and loan documents. It passed; the notes give no tally, and the record shows a different seconder in two fields.
