there is no guarantee she will be able to purchase it at auction and she wishes to control the property. The City Manager has negotiated with Ms. Thomas and we have agreed that in exchange for waiving the 2009 Structure Lien as well as the 2013, 2015 and 2017 Nuisance Liens — which are valued at $8,927.69, they will pay the taxes as well as the three 2020 liens — which are valued at $888.00. The current owners apparently were not responsible for the 2009 — 2017 liens as their parents were living at that time and responsible, but they are responsible for the three 2020 liens. And given those three liens occurred in this Fiscal Year, the tax payers should recoup at least this much as it impacted this year's budget. While this is not a perfect solution, it does appear to, in good faith, meet both of the City Manager's desired two goals: recoup a portion of the taxpayer's expense (at least that which occurred this FY) while getting the property in to the hands of someone who will maintain it going forward. BUDGET: There is no new expense to the City in this situation to agree to this arrangement. Denying the arrangement will mean the City will have to continue to maintain this property at taxpayer expense and will likely lose that at a tax sale. The City would be forgiving $8,927.69 in liens that occurred from 2009 — 2017, but would recoup its share of the approximately $1,950.00 in delinquent taxes and $888.00 in liens applied to the property within this Fiscal Year.
