Recommendation: That the Board review and consider the lien relief requests made by Berry Leonard, owner of both properties, against properties 25 East Devane Street and 120 West Johnson Avenue.

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 relief, in accordance with the Board's Policy, "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H2.

Mr. Leonard made a written request for lien relief in December 2017. His request is for a full release of liens on both properties located at 25 East Devane Street and 120 West Johnson Avenue. Current Board's Policy does not allow the County Administrator to provide this type of relief.
