Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on a resolution authorizing the Presiding Officer of the Williamson County Commissioners Court to execute a Deed Without Warranty from Williamson County, Texas to Abraham Eliashar pertaining to Lot 11, Block 70, City of Bartlett, Williamson County, Texas being that the property more particularly described in Volume 583, Page 368 of the Deed Records and Document No. 2012103385 of the Official Public Records, Williamson County, Texas (Tax Account No. 000000028128/R007802).

In 2012, Williamson County filed a lawsuit to collect delinquent property taxes on behalf of itself, Bartlett Independent School District, the City of Bartlett, Texas, and the Donohoe Creek Water Shed vs. Patsy Bracey. On August 20^th, 2010 a judgment was signed ordering foreclosure of the tax lien. Pursuant to the Property Tax Code, in December of 2012, the property was offered for sale at a public tax foreclosure sale. The property did not receive a bid and was taken into trust by the County for the use and benefit of all the taxing jurisdictions. This property has been held in trust with an exempt status since December 2012 and has therefore been completely exempt from taxation since that date. Abraham Eliashar, a resident of Cedar Park, Texas has tendered a purchase offer of $3,000, which is an amount greater than the adjudged market value as specified in the judgment of foreclosure. Additionally, by accepting this offer, the County is removing this property from exempted tax status, meaning the property will once again generate tax revenue for all the applicable taxing entities.
 
For the reasons stated herein, it is my recommendation to accept this offer by Abraham Eliashar.
