The flames might ask the city to guarantee the loan so the flames get a lower interest rate, but the flames are the ones paying the interest and repaying the principal

This is the 'Merry-Go-Round.'
The Flames take out a loan do they? From whom? Let me guess...it rhymes with 'the City of Galgary?'
Not a town in Scotland.
