Treasury records indicate that all taxes due for years prior to 1995 were previously paid, but that a discharge and/or quitclaim deed was not recorded at the time of payment. In August, 1997, in connection with a sale of the property by the former owner, the current residents, Irving and Gail Baxter Creath, tendered payment of all past due taxes and other charges for FY 1995 through 1998 (first half). The Code Enforcement Officer indicates that there are no outstanding City code violations at this address. The attached Council Order would authorize execution of a municipal quitclaim deed, releasing the City's tax title in favor of Mr. and Mrs. Creath, as successors in interest to Edna S. Fye, the former caner. The Finance Committee has reviewed this item and recommends approval.
