DISCUSSION ENSUED ON A REQUEST MADE BY BENJAMIN P. CONKLIN FOR RELEASE OF EXCESS FUNDS FROM THE TAX SALE OF PROPERTY BELONGING TO MARTHA DEBORAH HELME. ATTORNEY COLLINS EXPLAINED THAT THIS IN- VOLVES ANOTHER SITUATION WHERE PROPERTY WAS SOLD AT A TAX SALE, THE BID WAS IN EXCESS OF TAXES DUE, AND THE CLERK, AFTER THE PROPER NOTIFICATION AND TIME PERIOD, TURNED THE FUNDS OVER TO THE GENERAL FUND. THE ONLY UNUSUAL SITUATION IS THAT THE PROPERTY OWNER APPAR- ENTLY IS DECEASED, AND THE APPLICANT IS AN HEIR OF THE PROPERTY OWNER. ATTORNEY COLLINS DID NOT BELIEVE THE COUNTY COULD DISTRIBUTE THE FUNDS TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE ESTATE AND STATED THAT THE BOARD SHOULD JUST AUTHORIZE THE RELEASE TO THE ESTATE AND LEAVE IT UP TO THE APPLICANT TO CURE THE PROBLEM. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER Loy, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY AUTHORIZED RELEASE OF THE EXCESS FUNDS FROM TAX SALE OF PROPERTY UNDER CERTIFICATE #'85 (1.1/28/78) IN THE AMOUNT OF $674.54 TO THE ESTATE OF MARTHA DEBORAH HELME UPON ADEQUATE PROOF OF THE ESTATE. IN FURTHER DISCUSSION, IT WAS FELT THAT POSSIBLY THE FORM LETTER FROM THE CLERK TO THE PROPERTY OWNER SHOULD BE CHANGED BE- CAUSE IT IS CONFUSING AND DOES NOT GIVE ENOUGH INFORMATION SINCE IT SEEMS TO INDICATE YOU ONLY HAVE NINETY DAYS TO MAKE A CLAIM. THIS WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE CLERKS ATTENTION. ON MOTION BY COMMISSIONER Loy, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER SIEBERT, THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED OUT -OF -COUNTY TRAVEL FOR CIVIL DEFENSE DIRECTOR LEE NUZIE TO ATTEND A SPECIAL HAZARDOUS MATERIALS PROGRAM TO BE CONDUCTED AT WILDWOOD, FLORIDA, OCTOBER 24, 1979..
