CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of August 13, 2012 — Regular Meeting Page 8 of 11 Ms. Smith explained that on November 2, 2012, Wells Fargo Bank foreclosed on the property. She added that the City then stopped the accrual of the lien regarding the unpermitted structure against the former property owner and opened a new case on December 23, 2012 naming the bank as the violator regarding the unpermitted structure. She stated that the structure was removed 453 days after the Code Enforcement Board Order and the fines stopped accruing, but the fine had accrued to $22,650. Ms. Smith advised that the Code Enforcement Board met on July 12, 2012 and voted to recommend to the City Commission to reduce the total of the first three liens from $82,950 to $20,737.50. She added that the Board also voted to recommend denial of the request to reduce the lien against Wells Fargo Bank due to the amount of time it took for the bank to mitigate the property after the Order was imposed, leaving the total amount of that lien at $22,650. Budget Impact: The lien amounts paid would be recognized in the City Budget as income received.
