Board of County Commissioners Meeting Minutes - Final April 19, 2022 <br />Attachments: Request to Speak - Hurst <br />Chairman O'Bryan explained to Shirley Nelson, realtor for Surfside Properties, <br />and representative for Walter C. Hurst, that it was the Board's policy not to take <br />any action with items under Public Discussion. Ms. Nelson looked to get an <br />understanding of how Mr. Hurst could pay the fines to sell his property which had <br />thousands of dollars in fines and liens. Chairman O'Bryan suggested her best <br />course was to go before the Code Board and if Mr. Hurst was not satisfied, he <br />could then ask the Community Development Department to put it on their agenda. <br />Ms. Nelson went on to say, there was also a utility lien on the property and stated <br />Mr. Hurst was not aware he had a water or sewer bill for the property which had <br />now been accumulating for ten (10) years. Chairman O'Bryan suggested Ms. <br />Nelson speak with the Utilities Department in regard to the lien. <br />County Attorney Dylan Reingold added to the discussion as to how often clients <br />come forward to the County Attorney's office and Community Development <br />Department to receive a reduction of fine or lien and frequently claim they had <br />never received notice. He stated on this property, there was a demolition lien, a <br />Code Enforcement Board lien, a utility lien, and delinquent property taxes. He <br />pointed out `we never received notice' excuse puts his office and the Community <br />Development Department in a difficult situation when negotiating on multiple <br />outstanding issues. <br />Chairman O'Bryan restated Ms. Nelson's best course of action would be to meet <br />with the Utilities Department, the Code Enforcement Board, and the Tax <br />Collector to resolve the issues at hand. <br />No Action Taken or Required <br />C.
