He reported that the County currently holds a $253,000 Code <br />Enforcement lien on the subject property, and that City First has requested that the County <br />reduce the lien to $60,000. Attorney Collins had advised City First that the County would <br />support a reduction to the $80,000 to $100,000 range, but subsequently, he had received a verbal <br />offer (via telephone) of $82,000 from a Title Company interested in satisfying the lien. After <br />explaining why he supports the verbal offer, Attorney Collins presented staff's recommendation <br />to authorize a Satisfaction of Lien upon receipt of the $82,000 from the Title Company. <br />Commissioners Davis and Wheeler expressed the desire to see the property revert back to <br />residential use; however, they did not want to take any action without obtaining further <br />information to justify the price being offered. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to deny staff's <br />recommendation to accept the Title Company's verbal <br />offer of $ 82,000. <br />31 <br />January 5, 2010 <br />
