The Child Guidance center is chartered by the local Intermediate SchoolDistrict.

The Board's vote cleared away some legal hurdles that prevented the clinicfrom getting a mortgage to build a new center on property owned by theTraverse Bay Intermediate School District.

In 1992, the state sold the property to the school district with a provisionthat it allow Child Guidance to operate on the site. Also included in thesale language were prohibitions against the use of the property fornon-educational purposes.

Earlier this year, the banks asked that these prohibitions be removed due totheir concerns that they would not be able to recover the property in theevent of a financial collapse of the clinic.

The board's action will allow the clinic to complete construction of the newfacility.
