The city council Monday approved changing the loan terms it has with D.J. Development Company, Kleentec. The loan, which will go toward an expansion building for their business, was changed from a seven-year loan to a 15-year loan without a seven-year balloon payment.

The loan was made under the conditions that the expansion will provide for 10 new jobs. If this condition is not met, the loan will be terminated and paid back.
