RECOMMENDATION:

September 18, 2014 - Communication from Ms. P. Yolanda Brown, Final Title Coordinator, requesting the Board forgive a Code Enforcement Lien against property located at 313 Cherokee Trail.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider lien relief request made by Ms. Brown against property located at 313 Cherokee Trail.

On June 18, 2009, the Board amended the “Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens” Policy, Section III, H 2. Staff was instructed to review all requests for forgiveness of Environmental (Code) Enforcement Liens to determine if the request met the criteria for forgiveness, in accordance with the Board’s policy.

After reviewing the request for forgiveness of Liens, staff made the determination that the request DOES 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.

August 27, 2014, County Administrator, Jack Brown, mailed a denial letter to Ms. Brown.

September 2014 County Administrator, Jack Brown, received another letter from Final Title requesting relief.

Final Title has made an offer to pay all hard costs associated with this Lien and requesting daily fines be dismissed.
