SUBJECT/RECOMMENDATION:
Title
Request authority to settle case of City of Clearwater v. Eva Long, Case No. 18-5969-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 Eva Long, owner of the property located at 1161 Marshall St.
Since that time, the property has been brought into full compliance with the City’s codes. Ms. Long has agreed to pay the City’s administrative and legal costs and agreed that if any additional violations occur within the next six months, the City would be entitled to an immediate foreclosure judgment and sale.
Authority is being sought to settle this case for the City’s administrative and legal costs along with Ms. Long’s promise to keep the property in full compliance as detailed above, in exchange for which the City will release the code enforcement lien that attaches to her property.
