Please find the request for a budget amendment in the amount of $25,000, which is the
average of additional fees in completing code enforcement foreclosures and related
individual cases and legal services on the current foreclosures being processed.
As previously conveyed to council, each of the foreclosures would be given as separate
cases for review and execution. Code enforcement has continued completing these
activities; however, the current budget does not have sufficient funding to complete the
approved and upcoming foreclosures. This amendment is an average based on monthly
charges of the current foreclosures.
Note: This amendment will be returned upon approval of the legal services contract
extension in April.
