Surprise city land deals move ahead in rapid fashion
City Commission approved a 1.4 million dollar package to acquire Twin Lakes resort and a 40 acre adjacent parcel from Fremont executives Ed Levinson and Ed Torres. The $700,000 Levinson Torres payment plus a $750,000 option for Twin Lakes will be funded by a $450,000 down payment and a $1 million loan at under 4.5 percent. The deals, negotiated in secret since last October, end years of dispute with owner Lloyd St John and mark a major expansion of city recreation property. The plan relies on bond funds approved in 1964 for the purchases and seeks additional loan sources.
