Under the terms of a resolution passed 6-2 Monday night, the city of Duluth will forgive $900,000 in debt related to an outstanding $1.2 million line of credit extended to the Spirit Mountain Recreational Area years ago. The ski hill will be asked to pay back the remaining $300,000 debt over the course of the next three years.
Additionally, Spirit Mountain would be expected to invest at least $900,000 in capital improvements to its facilities during the same three-year period.
Three candidates are now expected to vie for two at large council seats.

The Duluth City Council unanimously decided Monday night to hit pause on a request to erase three-quarters of the $1.2 million in debt the Spirit Mountain Recreation Area owes the city.
Spirit Mountain maxed out a line of credit the city extended in 2014 and has been unable to pay it down since then. What s more, Noah Schuchman, Duluth s chief administrative officer, said it s impractical to think the debt can be recovered.
