Chairman Tippin advised that Mrs. Wheeler's family has rallied to help her out and has agreed to pay the principal paving lien but is requesting that the Board forgive the interest due on that lien. County Administrator Chandler stated that the principal due is $1,519 and the interest is $1,089. County Attorney Vitunac commented that his office is not taking any foreclosure action but is keeping the liens active. Commissioner Adams was concerned about setting a precedent. She felt very sympathetic to the lady involved but felt it would be unfair to others who have had difficulties but have made the effort to pay off the liens.

ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, the Board unanimously approved letting the County Attorney's Office handle the matter with the understanding that there will be no foreclosure on the property but rather alien which will be disposed of when the property is sold and that interest will continue to accrue at the rate of 12% per annum.
