RESOLVE
Ratifying Execution and Delivery of
Eunicipal
e ee - Property at
143 Thrid Street
February 26, 1996
TO.: Bangor City council
FROM: Erik M. Stumpfel, City Solicitor
RE: it under Suspension of the Rules
In July, 1994 the City of Bangor recorded three sr liens
against property of Myta B. Burgess, JamesE. Burgess, Sr., and
Mary T. Burgess, located at 143 Third Street. The total amount of
delinquent sewer rates and interest secured by all three liens was
$361.48. Lien costa and recording fees of $93.89 were added to
this amount. Additional interest has accrued since July, 1994.
The statutory redemption period for these three sewer liens
expired 18 months after recording, on January 26, 1996.
Concurrently, the owners of 143 Third Street negotiated a sale of
the property, scheduled'fox closing later this week. In connection
with the scheduled sale, the Burgesses have made a tender of
payment of the delinquent sewer amounts (plus lien charges and
Interest), together with delinquent IF 1995 and FY 1996 real estate
taxes (first half), totalling some $2,015.93 as of February 26,
1996, to be paid from the sellers' proceeds at closing.
Because the City's general practice has been to allow late
redemptions of tax and sewer lien-foreclosetl residential properties
upon payment in full of all delinquent City accounts, where there
are no other issues outstanding, (e.g. uncorrected City code or
ordinance violations), City Finance Director Ron Heller has
accepted the Burgesses' sewer payment and has executed a municipal
quitclaim deed for delivery to the Burgesses upon payment of the
delinquent real estate tax amounts. The attached Council Order
would ratify this action by the Finance Director. It is offered
under suspension of the rules to facilitate the Burgesses'
previously scheduled real estate closing.
Under the Council's current practice, suspension of the
rules to consider non -agenda items requires an affirmative
two-thirds vote (6 votes).
