It also approved Morton Community Bank’s investment proposal to roll over just over $12.6 million at approximately 3.6% APR, subject to reviewing available cash at three-month intervals and retaining the ability to withdraw without penalty. Other approved purchases included an energy-efficiency lighting project for $11,166.50 net of incentives and a $4,000 annual boiler-maintenance proposal from Global Water Technology.
