City recommendation, a Limited Release of the lien be provided so the Bank may sell this property. The lien would remain in place against former owners James Rahe Sr. & James Rahe Jr. This lien was recorded after the Lis Pendens has been filed by the Bank. A lien was imposed on this property in 2013 for overgrown property. The reason for the Limited Release is because the City's lien was recorded after the foreclosure began. Aaron Hines, attorney for Bank of America, law firm Phelan, Hallian, Diamond and Jones, PLLC 2727 W Cypress Creek Rd; Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309. The Special Magistrate asked what the City's response with regard to the 2 cases, there does not seems to be an issue or dispute over recommending a limited Release with regard to CE -11-00904 and Mr. Hines is requesting a continuance for CE -09-01491. The Special Magistrate wanted to give the City an opportunity to respond to that. There is also if they want some time either July 14, 2016 or another time, to try to work out a global resolution. Mr. Campbell advised that the City would not be opposed to a continuance or to leave it to the Special Magistrates determination. The Special Magistrate asked if Ms. Cocotas had anything to add on behalf of the City. Vivian Cocotas, City Attorney's office added that the proposal received, a partial release is similar to the relief that has been requested for the 2011 lien. Ms. Cocotas did not believe the City is receptive to that partial release relief as to the 2009 lien. If that was the only thing on the table, Ms. Cocotas did not believe a continuance would be appropriate, because that would not accomplish anything. If staff wanted to entertain the offer then a continuance would be appropriate. The Special Magistrate asked if there was anything from anyone else.
