Approve waiver of interest, penalties, and administrative fees in the amount of $12,253.60 associated with demolition lien against 811 Avenue C, Fort Pierce, FL 34950, Parcel ID Number 2410-604-0030-000-8 owned by Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, 811 Avenue C, Fort Pierce, FL 34950 contingent upon payment of $9,500.00 within 24 months.

Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church has been a beacon in the community for over one hundred years.  They have provided food, clothing, and shelter to the needy families in the area.  They purchased the property in hopes of providing low-income housing for the senior citizens within the Congregation.  When they purchased the property they did not know about the liens; therefore, they could not go forward with their plans.  Mr. James Edwards is representing the church and is requesting the City's help with the removal and/ or reduction of the liens.

Staff recommends waiving interest, penalties, and administrative fees in the amount of $12,253.60 contingent upon payment of balance in the amount of $9,500.00 within 24 months.
