RECOMMENDATION:

May 5, 2014, email communication from Joanna Cope requesting the Board forgive the fines relative to a Code Enforcement Lien attached to property located at 2620 West Hernandez Street.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider lien relief request made by Joanna Cope against property located at 2620 West Hernandez Street.

On June 18, 2009, 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 requests met the criteria for forgiveness, in accordance with the Board’s policy.

After reviewing the request for forgiveness of Lien, staff made the determination that the request does not fall within any of the criteria that would allow the County Administrator to deny relief, in accordance with the Board’s Policy, “Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens” Policy, Section III, H2.

The owner has no other recourse but to appeal before the Board under Written Communication.
