CASE NO.: Not Applicable TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator FROM: R. Michael Leek, Community Development Director ~+~-L- SUBJECT: Request to Release Lien for Rehabilitation Loan for Property Located at 129 Main Street North MEETING DATE: July 1,2008 REVIEW PERIOD: Not Applicable INTRODUCTION: The City has received the attached request to release a lien in the amount of $1,111.50 against the subject property. DISCUSSION: Several years ago the City secured a Small Cities Development Block Grant, and with at least a portion of the funds established a residential rehab loan program. This program is administered for the City by the Carver County Community Development Program. Apparently, in 1995 the property owner received a loan under the program, and in December of 2000, entered into a loan repayment agreement in the amount of $3,705.00. The loan was not totally repaid, and is thus subject to a lien in the amount set forth above. Ms. Egan, who is 95 years old, entered nursing care in February. Because of a reverse mortgage she owed more on the property than its current valuation, Ms. Egan attempted to turn the property over to the lender. Because of the lien the lender has not been able to accept the property. On her behalf, Anita Lewis has requested that the lien be released so the property can revert to the mortgage company. VISIONING RELATIONSHIP: This action supports Goal F, "Housekeeping." ACTION REQUESTED: Offer a motion to authorize the appropriate City officials to take the necessary steps to release the City's lien in the amount of$1,111.50 against the property located at 129 Main Street North, and move its adoption. H:\CC\2008\07 -01 \Egan Lien Release.doc To: Carver County Community Development Program Regarding: Dorothy Egan's property at 129 North Main Street Shakopee, MN To Whom It Concern: My great aunt is Dorothy Egan and she is 95 years old. Back in February I moved her into a nursing home when her health no longer allowed her to live alone. At that time she signed over her property at 129 North Main Street to her mortgage company as she had acquired a reverse mortgage and owed more on the property than it was valued at. I was recently contacted by C & L Morris Company, her mortgage company, and informed that they cannot take over the property as there is a small lien on the title with Carver County. I found out that apparently back in 1995 she was one of the lucky recipients of money to do some type of improvements on her property but it was never repaid. Now the mortgage company cannot assume the property with a lien still on the title. The lien amount is for $1,111.50. I am writing you on behalf of her to ask if this debt can be forgiven as she has no assets and to have the lien removed from the deed. Please let me know if there is more information needed to resolve this matter. Sincerely, Anita Lewis (great niece wjPOA) Doc.
