12343   June 6, 2017, communication from Preston Murphy, Realtor Representing Mr. and Mrs. Vega, requesting that Escambia County provide relief of Code Enforcement Lien attached to 217 Rue Max Street.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider the lien relief request made by Preston Murphy, Realtor representing Mr. and Mrs. Vega, against property located at 217 Rue Max Street.

On August 21, 2014, the Board amended the "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H2. Staff was instructed to review all requests for forgiveness of Environmental (Code) Enforcement Liens to determine if the request met the criteria for forgiveness and allowing the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf if set criteria are met.

After reviewing the request for forgiveness of liens, staff made the determination that the request does not fall within any of the criteria that would allow the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf and grant or deny relief, in accordance with the Board's Policy, "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H2.

Mrs. Vega made a written request for lien relief in February 2017. Due to Board policy, she was denied because she and her husband were the owners/violators at the time of the Special Magistrate Lien. Therefore, a denial letter was sent to the owner signed by the County Administrator.
