Pursuant to Rule XII-C of this Board, the Finance Committee has
reviewed the above referenced resolution and finds:
1. The Charter Township of White Lake is requesting a $150,000
loan from the Long-Term Revolving Fund to be used for the
administration, legal proceedings, design and repair of a
lake level control structure in order to properly attain
and maintain the legal level for Neva Lake.
2. Miscellaneous Resolution No. 02019 authorized that monies
be made available for loans to local units for amounts up
to $150,000,
3. The Charter Township of White Lake is managing, computing
all costs of the project and preparing a special assessment
roll for all the lands benefited by the Neva Lake Level
Control Structure.
4. To repay the loan the Charter Township of White Lake will
establish a special assessment district and pledge the full
faith and credit of the Township for the prompt repayment
of principal and interest on the loan over a 5 year period.

the prevailing six-month Treasury Bill rate should be
charged. The six-month Treasury Bill rate is quite a bit
lower than the average interest rate from the Treasurer's

will be the last published Treasurer's pooled investment
