CDBG REVOLVING LOAN PAYMENT DEFERRAL, Request from Town & Country Roll-Off Service Town & Country Roll-Off Service has asked to defer payment of a Community Development Revolving Loan for two years, with monthly payments instead of annual payments. The County referred the request to Lake Agassiz Regional Council for a recommendation and received a letter from Carl Altenbernd dated October 17, 1990. The County also received correspondence from North Dakota Office of Intergovernmental Assistance concerning this matter. States Attorney Robert Hoy said the State of North Dakota expected the first, semi-annual payment from Cass County on October 1, 1990, but Cass County didn't make the payment because they haven't received the money from Gary and Kathy Nyhof, Town & Country Roil-Off Service.
