AGENDA ITEM WORDING
Presentation of settlement offer from Scott & Victoria Curry to settle code enforcement lien imposed
against property.
ITEM BACKGROUND
The Curry's had a swimming pool built on their property without benefit of a permit in the spring of
2002. When they failed to appear at their October 31, 2002 hearing, the Special Master found them
in violation for building without a permit. The Special Master imposed a $200 per day fine for each
day after January 23, 2003 in which the permit was not obtained. After some delay, a portion of
which was attributable to staff, the permit was Issued. As of April 8, 2004, the date of compliance,
the lien totaled $87,600.00. Staff has offered to recommend to the Board that it settle the lien for
$6,650, a figure which is less than 10% of the fine but which gives the Currys credit for the fees
already paid by them (@$2100). The Curry's have rejected that amount and wish to have the fine
reduced even further.
This matter is being added on at the request of the Curry's who are trying to refinance the property.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION
The Board tabled this item at the meeting on June 16, 2004 in order to give the Curry's an
opportunity to appear personally.
