• <br />i <br />• Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council <br />October 7, 1981, Page 5 <br />Simons: Well, I notice we have got 9 percent on maturity, <br />10 percent on unpaid interest and principal, and. 10 percent <br />attorney fees. That's 29 percent. <br />Hudgens: Those things have already been paid. A11 we have <br />is the 9 percent. The l0 percent is on late. payments, which <br />we don't have. <br />Simons: How about the 10 percent attorney fees? <br />Askins: That's only if the bank has to sue the City, which <br />is not very likely. <br />Skelton: For the money that we have in deposit in the City, <br />or in the banks, rather, are. we drawing more than 9 percent <br />interest? <br />Hudgens: Our current investments run in the area of 13~ per- <br />cent to 14 percent; some are even in excess of 15 percent. <br />• Skelton: So we are actually earning 3 or 4 percent by going <br />this route. <br />Hudgens: Yes, sir. <br />Meza: Any further discussion? <br />Derring: I have a question. Is this the renewal of an existing <br />note? <br />Hudgens: It is the renewal of an existing note that was used <br />to fund the initial cost of the La Porte Area Emergency Ambulance <br />Corps. <br />Derring: I am assuming the cash on hand is invested in higher <br />yielding accounts. <br />Hudgens: That is correct. It is invested in certificates of <br />deposit. <br />Mayor Meza called for a vote on the motion.
