RECOMMENDATION:

January 13, 2019, communication from Jeremy Clark requesting Lien relief for property located at 4669 Oakland Circle.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider the Lien relief request made by Jeremy Clark, new owner of the property, against 4669 Oakland Circle.

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 fall within 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.

Interim County Administrator, Amy Lovoy, DID provide some Lien relief to Jeremy Clark by waiving all the daily fines and subtracting the overage from the tax sale from the hard costs. Mr. Clark is requesting more relief and has requested to appear before the Board.

BACKGROUND:

Mr. Clark purchased the property located at 4669 Oakland Circle from a Tax Deed Sale on October 5, 2018. The property had a Special Magistrate Lien attached to it in the amount of $11,835.00 when it was purchased. Mr. Clark requested lien relief from the Code Enforcement lien and, per Board Policy, relief was granted to Mr. Clark on February 13, 2019. All fines were waived and an overage in the amount of $1,232.47 (from the tax sale) was applied to the remaining hard costs leaving the total lien amount of $6,252.53.

Mr. Clark has requested to appear before the Board of County Commissioners to request more relief than the Interim County Administrator Amy Lovoy can provide.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Fines: $4,350.00
Court Cost: $235.00
Abatement Cost: $7,250.00

Total Lien: $11,250.00

This amount does not include the Clerk's recording fees or interest.
