The Glen Oaks Country Club board of directors was to meet last night to discuss the sale of stock in a new corporation that would assume ownership of the operation. The Business Record was unable to confirm this morning whether the meeting took place. In a letter to club members and Glen Oaks homeowners, board chairman Ray Stewart wrote: “We are asking anyone that would like to buy stock and be a stockholder in the ‘New Glen Oaks Country Club LLC’ please come. We are going to attempt to buy our Club from West Bank at a price unknown until we see the level of interest and West Bank accepting our offer.” The club defaulted on $7.7 million in loans from West Des Moines-based West Bank, and the bank has filed for foreclosure.

The Swiss government will hand over details of about 4,450 bank accounts to U.S. authorities as part of a deal struck with Washington over UBS AG, it said today. U.S. officials agreed to submit a new treaty request and will withdraw a John Doe summons that demands disclosure of the identity of 52,000 UBS account holders. In return, Switzerland will process the new treaty request within a year for the smaller number of accounts. The Internal Revenue Service said the accounts represent those most suspected of containing undeclared assets.

West Des Moines-based Wells Fargo Home Mortgage will close its wholesale-lending operations in Durham, N.C., a move that will eliminate 62 jobs, the Triangle Business Journal reported. The restructuring is limited to the North Carolina operation and will not impact the company’s West Des Moines operations, a spokesperson told the Business Record. The Durham facility processes loans for third-party mortgage brokers. Work at the site is being transferred to Wells Fargo’s wholesale loan-processing center in Charlotte, N.C. No new jobs are expected to be added in Charlotte. The merging of the loan-processing sites “is based on a need to effectively manage costs and match the needs of our business,” said Kathleen Vaughan, executive vice president for the wholesale lending business.
