continued the lien held by the City on this property was second in priority to the Bank' s lien and during the foreclosure proceedings should have been removed. The Bank has offered the City a payment of $1, 000 to offset any expenses incurred through this process. Mr. Bolduc stressed that the release of lien applies only to this property and not other properties owned by the property owner. The City Attorney stated because the lien was not removed, the bank has the option to either ask the City to voluntarily release the lien and compensate the City, or go ahead with the foreclosure whereas the City would receive no monetary benefit. The City Attorney stated he is comfortable with the release of lien. The Mayor asked for public input. There was none. Mr. Rynearson moved to release the lien and accept the payment of $1, 000 from Vanguard Bank and Trust Company to offset any incurred costs for the property located at 205 Florida Place. Mr. Reeves seconded motion. Mr. Holmes stated his displeasure in the process. The Mayor called for the vote on the motion and it carried unanimously with Holmes, gossom, Reeves, Minich, Nabors, Rigdon, and Rynearson in favor.
