(Clerk's Note: the second property proposed to be demolished is mentioned later in the <br />meeting by Deputy County Attorney Bill DeBraal). <br />Responding to Commissioner Davis's query, Attorney Polackwich explained that City <br />National Bank holds the mortgage and note on the property, has entered ajudgment against the <br />property owner, and will in the near future hold a foreclosure sale. He said that City National <br />had provided a proposal to the County for boarding and fencing the subject property, but it was <br />contingent upon the County taking no action relative to the condemnation order which it has <br />imposed. <br />Discussion followed, during which it was established that the effective date for the <br />County's lien, which would be imposed to recover the cost of demolition, would be the date of <br />the recording of the document. <br />Chairman Solari wished to establish for the record that everyone's property rights have <br />been respected. He further remarked that the Gifford Gardens site is clearly hazardous to the <br />public and emergency personnel, and a blight on the neighborhood. He viewed City National's <br />estimate of $1 million to secure the property as vastly understated and supported proceeding with <br />the demolition as soon as legally possibly. <br />The following persons appeared before the Commission with commentary and arguments <br />imploring the Board to approve the demolition of the Gifford Gardens property: <br />Julianne Price, Indian River County Health Department <br />Freddie Woolfork, 4590 57th Avenue <br />Tony Brown, President, Indian River County, NAACP <br />Deputy Sheriff Roberta Barker <br />Bob Johnson, Coral Wind Subdivision, suggested that the property be used for Habitat <br />for Humanity. <br />30 <br />November 16, 2010 <br />
