The bond will be secured by an assignment of <br /> the rents from the property. The County has received bids on the bonds. <br /> Sovran Bank is the apparent choice. The bonds will bear interest at <br /> 10.75% and will be fully paid off in 20 years. 4) The Thomas Jefferson <br /> Memorial Foundation will lease the property for 20 years. The rent will <br /> be sufficient to pay debt service on the bonds and to create a modest <br /> reserv~ for future repairs. The Foundation will sublease space to the <br /> Visitors' Bureau and will use the balance of the property as a museum and <br /> offices. 5) The bonds will not be legal obligations of the City. The <br /> County and City will sign a "side agreement" that the County will reconvey <br /> <br /> <br />
