E. COMMUNITY SERVICES

1.

Staff recommends motion to approve: Satisfaction and release of welfare liens filed against the property located at 714 38^th Street, West Palm Beach, in the amount of $99,341.45, contingent upon receipt of executed declaration of restrictions maintaining the affordability of property. SUMMARY: Richard Elliot, who qualified as indigent, incurred medical expenses and expenses associated from his stay at the County Home totaling $99,341.45. A lien was placed on the property he owned at 714 38^th Street in West Palm Beach for that amount on October 9, 1991. Since that time, the property was purchased through tax deed by Donald and Kimberly Egbulonce, who in August of 2005 sold it to Northwood Renaissance, Inc. Northwood Renaissance intends to build affordable housing on the property for low to moderate income families. The company is requesting that the Board release the lien on the property to facilitate their ability to begin construction on the property. Because there is a County welfare lien on the property, Northwood Renaissance cannot draw down construction funds until such time as the lien is removed. Countywide (TKF)
