10 - Release of Lien and Waiver Request - 503 W. Washingtron

Home Browse Search

Pursuant to our City Code, structural liens are released upon payment. However, the City Council can consider requests to waive all or a portion of the lien. As such, this is a matter that I must therefore take before the City Council. I believe I have everything I need for the packet (to be sensitive to your arrangements, I will exclude the selling document). To prepare you for the discussion, the City Council will be offered several options to consider — to which they may have more that I do not think of. Those will consist of: 1. Do not waive the lien. 2. Waive a portion of the lien (ex: interest). 3. Consider an arrangement where you pay the lien (or a portion therefore), and perhaps if you perform the work you have proposed, the City rebates it back to you upon completion. All of these are examples of what the Council has done in the past, it is very much case by case given every situation is unique. I would encourage you to make plans to attend the meeting which will occur on Monday, April 11, 2022 at 5:30 pm in the City Hall Council Chamber. If you attend and are interested in presenting your request directly to the council, the Mayor will initiate the agenda item, I will present, and then, with Council's approval, I will give you an opportunity to speak. Please understand that while the City Council enjoys assisting individuals in whatever way they can, they have to also balance the fact that taxpayers paid to remove this structure and should be compensated whenever possible. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this, please let me know. I will include your proposal in the agenda packet for the council to review.
