9.B. PUBLIC DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />9.B.1. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM ERIC GRANITUR, ESQUIRE, REGARDING <br />ELIMINATION OF A CCRUED INTEREST ON DEMOLITION LIENS FOR <br />PARCEL ADDRESS 4006 21ST A VENUE <br />Eric Granitur, Esquire, 535 Greytwig Road, spoke on behalf of First Nationwide <br />Holdings who purchased the 4006 21st Avenue property at a tax deed sale in September 2006. At <br />that time, there were two demolition liens on the property. Attorney Granitur requested that the <br />Board waive, for the new owner, the accrued interest on those liens. <br />Administrator Baird does not recommend waiving any interest, as charging interest <br />encourages payment. Chairman Wheeler and Commissioner O'Bryan agreed with staff's <br />recommendation. <br />Chairman Wheeler confirmed with Attorney Collins that First Nationwide Holdings <br />would have to pay for the accrued interest. <br />9.B.2. REQUEST TO SPEAK FROM JOSEPH PALADIN, PRESIDENT OF BLACK <br />SWAN CONSULTING, REGARDING DISCUSSION AND CLARIFICATION OF <br />PUBLIC DISCUSSION ON WEEKLY AGENDA <br />Joseph Paladin discussed what he perceived was unfair treatment. At the April 17, <br />2007 Board meeting, two individuals were permitted to speak after his presentation on the Paladin <br />Plan. He did not understand why the Chairman had denied some individuals a chance to speak <br />after his presentation on the Paladin 20/50 Plan at the July 17, 2007 Board meeting. Mr. Paladin <br />read the definition of "public discussion" and asked the Chairman to set forth its criteria. <br />July 24, 2007 36 <br />
