RECOMMENDATION:

August 2, 2018, Communication from Rich Chism requesting lien relief for property located at 1008 North "Z" Street.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider the lien relief request made by Rich Chism attached to property located at 1008 North "Z" 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 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. Chism represents Dixon School of Arts and Science. The property is currently owned by Allen and Brenda Janssen. Mr. Chism is requesting a partial release from Code Enforcement Special Magistrate liens/orders attached to other properties owned by Mr. and Ms. Janssen.
