Item No. 98-259
Date Supe 22 1998
Item/Subject: Authorizing Execution of Municipal Quitclaim Deed
-- Real Estate Located at 169 Fifteenth Street
Responsible Department: Legal
A recent title search found various tax liens assessed against Ira
C. McElwee, a prior owner of property located at 169 Fifteenth
Street, in the 19606 that had not been discharged at the time of
payment. City records do not show any balance due for the tax
years concerned, and do not reflect any transfer of the property to
City ownership pursuant to the matured tax liens. In such cases,
our normal assumption is that the taxes concerned were paid prior
to foreclosure and that the City failed to record adischarge, o
that the City accepted late payment and issued a quitclaim deed,
which the taxpayer failed to record. The estate of Frances I.
Larlee, successor to Ira McElwee, has requested a municipal
quitclaim deed to clear the title. A closing is scheduled for June
23, 1998. The tax account is otherwise current.
The attached Order, if approved, would authorize a release of the
City's title. Our $70.00 deed preparation fee
1�will be charged.
