The property consists of five parcels that are nearing the end of a foreclosure <br />process due to an unpaid mechanics lien that has been levied against the property by Eden <br />Builders. In addition, there are unpaid taxes and assessments. Upon review of the title <br />documents, it appears that there is an additional judgment as well as a tax lien that has also been <br />filed against the property. The Economic Development Authority reviewed the information at <br />their meeting on June 11, 2012 and recommended that the City purchase the property. A <br />purchase price of $3,000 had been verbally negotiated, with the City taking responsibility for all <br />taxes, liens, assessments, and judgments. <br />City Administrator Bryan Bear explained that the redemption period, during which time <br />Catherine Anderson could buy the property back, ends on June 23, 2012. After the EDA <br />meeting on June 11, 2012 Catherine notified the City that she intends to do just that -purchase the <br />property back, and has offered to sell it to the City for $350,000. <br />Haas made motion, Klein seconded, to not pursue purchasing the Carpenter property at this time. <br />All Ayes.
