Approve request to reduce code enforcement lien in the amount of $62,600.00 against 1022 Avenue H, Ft. Pierce, FL 34947 - Parcel ID Number 2404-818-0016-000-2 previously owned by Beverly A Prince, 601 Saunders St, Apt. W2, Hinesville, GA 31313 and currently owned by Deloris Faniel, 4703 Evergreen Ave., Ft. Pierce, FL 34947 to $722.44 payable in 6 months.

This property is a family property that changed names multiple times but did not change ownership. The property was condemned and due to non-compliance, the building was demolished by the City in 2004. This resulted in a code enforcement lien, demolition lien and lot clearing liens.

Due to multiple health issues with members of the family, a reduction request was made to the City Commission in 2016. The lien was reduced to $472.44 payable in 6 months.  Unfortunately, after paying the demolition lien and lot clearing liens, they did not have the funds to pay the reduced lien and after 6 months it reverted to the original amount.

The request today is to reduce the lien of $62,600 to the previously agreed amount of $472.44 payable in 6 months.

The Special Magistrate heard the property owner's request and recommends the City Commission reduce the lien to $722.44 payable in 6 months.  If not paid within the 6 month expiration period, the fines will revert to the original amount of $62,600.00. The settlement amount respresents the administration costs as follows:
 

Hard Costs (postage / filing fees / photos)	$34.60
Case processing (months open / inspections)	$237.84
Hearing costs	$200.00
City Commission Hearing	$250.00

Deny the request.
Make alternative recommendations.
