Recommendation Concerning a Conflict Waiver Request from the Law Firm of Sirote & Permutt, PC.
That the Board take the following action:
A. Authorize a conflict waiver for Sirote & Permutt, PC in connection with a foreclosure action brought on behalf of U.S. Bank, N.A., against Carissa Day on property located at 5001 Grande Drive, Unit 1121, Pensacola, Florida 32504; and
B. Authorize the County Attorney to prepare and transmit a letter to Sirote & Permutt, PC that confirms the Board's conflict waiver.
BACKGROUND:
Sirote & Permutt, PC has been tentatively retained by U.S. Bank, N.A. to bring a foreclosure action against Carissa Day. U.S. Bank, N.A. holds a first mortgage on Ms. Day's property at 5001 Grande Drive, Unit 1121, Pensacola, FL 32504. The County holds a second and third mortgage on the property, which will likely be eliminated in the foreclosure action regardless of the attorney that handles the foreclosure on behalf of U.S. Bank, N.A. The waiver is necessary because Sirote & Permutt, PC has previously handled other foreclosure actions on behalf of the County.
