Consenting to the financing of TD Hangar, LLC's (TD) mortgage on its facility at the Aurora Municipal Airport
PURPOSE:
To allow the City Treasurer to consent, on behalf of the City, to TD's proposed financing of its mortgage with Old Second National Bank.
BACKGROUND:
In 2023, the City entered into a lease with TD to allow it to occupy space at the airport and to build a hangar. The lease contemplated that TD may need to secure outside financing for construction of the hangar and provided that the City's consent was required prior to TD's obtaining a mortgage.
DISCUSSION:
On October 24, 2023, the City entered into a lease with TD for certain lands at the Aurora Airport. Now, as contemplated in the lease, TD is requesting the City consent of a mortgage being places on the City's property at the airport.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
There is no cost to the City. These are standard agreements the City has entered into with other tenants at the Airport. Without the City's consent TD will not be able to build their hangar
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval.
