• <br />Curtis Brown, 1043 Bernard Street, Fellsmere, stated that he purchased this property <br />from his sister in 1998 and did not know about the lien. <br />Assistant County Administrator Joe Baird advised that the lien had been placed on <br />the property on May 11, 1993 in the amount of $6,232.96 which was the cost involved in <br />removing a dilapidated building from the property. That lien has accrued interest since May <br />11, 1993 in the amount of $6,731.64, for a total now due of $12,964.60. Staff does not have <br />the authority or the ability to waive this lien and does not recommend that the lien be waived <br />as those funds came from MSTU. Staff has also noted that Mr Brown has another piece of <br />property with a lien on it from November of 1996 <br />Commissioner Adams questioned Mr Brown about a lien on property at 3826 44`h <br />Place, and Mr Brown responded that is his mother's home. <br />Commissioner Adams asked what Mr Brown intended to do with this property, and <br />Mr. Brown responded that he plans to put a Jim Walter home on the property. <br />Commissioner Adams felt the County must recover the costs of the demolition and <br />noted that the public records should always be examined when buying property. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Macht, that the <br />Board retain the lien but waive the interest due. <br />County Attorney Paul Bangel questioned whether there would be any deadline for <br />payment of the lien. <br />Mr Brown stated that he has no money coming in but lives on a disability payment. <br />He is having a Jim Walter home built because they do not require a downpayment. <br />MAY 7, 2002 <br />61< <br />-81- <br />• <br />
