Title
Request for authority to settle case of City of Clearwater v. Jannelli, et al., Case No. 19-1896-CI. (consent)
Body
SUMMARY:
On July 19, 2018, the City retained Weidner Law, P.A. (outside counsel) for representation in municipal lien foreclosure matters. The outside counsel then filed a foreclosure action against Gilbert Jannelli owner of the property located at 23837 US Highway 19 N.
The property has been brought into full compliance with the City’s codes and the owner has offered to pay $100,000.00 to settle this case. Therefore, authority is being sought to settle this case for $100,000.00 in exchange for which the City: 1) will release the liens that attach to this property; 2) agree not to encumber the property with any future municipal liens stemming from any violations of properties the owner owns other than the one at issue in this case for a period of 18 months; and 3) and dismiss the lawsuit.
