City picks up tab after failed Saamis Tepee loan
The Hat agreed in 1991 to a 692000 interest free loan to the Saamis Tepee Association for a tepee near Kin Coulee Park. When funds fell through and repayments paused, the city allowed 25 yearly installments. The association defaulted, assets were not appraised as collateral, and the city may repossess the tepee and absorb 140000 to 240000 out of pocket, with art assets potentially offsetting some costs.
