Item No. 17-180
Date: MAY 22, 2017
Item/Subject: Order, Authorizing Amendment to Agreement with David S. Boyd for 73
Central Street - Map -Lot (041-083)
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
This Order will amend an agreement with David S. Boyd for property located at 73 Central
Street. A real estate tax lien on property located at 73 Central Street matured in 2016 and the
City took possession. Through an agreement approved in July 2016, the City agreed to convey
title back to the previous owner, David S. Boyd, once the property has been renovated to correct
all code deficiencies including fixing the fagade, sprinkler system, and creating commercial space
on the first floor. The owner paid the City all outstanding amounts due the City at that time.
The Agreement provides that if the owner is making a good faith effort the time to complete can
be extended. The contractor has been in contact with the City's Code Enforcement Office to
keep the City informed of the progress. It has proven to be more involved and extensive than
originally contemplated, the project is nearing completion.
The owner has requested an extension of the deadline for completion of the first floor
renovations. If approved, this order would authorize amending the agreement to provide that
the work shall be completed by June 30, 2017 and that upon execution of the amendment the
owner shall pay all monies due the City as of June 30, 2017. The Agreement shall be in in a
final form as acceptable to the City Solicitor or Assistant City Solicitor.
