Reggie, Regarding foreclosures on peoples' properties, the city attorney, and also the police chief, both, said In their opinion, that our current method of city code enforcement is satisfactory, and does not need changed, and that in foreclosures, it can be legally tricky, and involves costing the city. Why do we keep getting some of the council members hell-bent on changing things, unless there is more than meets the eye going on? Nick Nesta said at one council meeting, that getting peoples' properties into compliance with code enforcement is the goal, not raking in cash, and foreclosed properties for the city.....but is what he is saying true? Seems like that is not the case to me. Is the goal to acquire all of these fined properties to sell, and money to pile up from the foreclosures? Regarding the RSR golf course land, and the code enforcement fines of 2.1 million, it is my understanding that the golf group owners are in compliance, so why foreclose, if compliance is the goal? Do you all really believe that the golf group should pay 2.1 million fine, or be foreclosed on? Wow...and the guy that owned it did die. The same at Errol Estate. In that case, the Errol owner had a huge delinquent water bill, and the city was planning on taking the golf course lands to the east of Vick Road and make a "pocket park". It did not happen. At that time, it appeared to me, that Mayor Joe K was thinking about putting delinquent water bills onto your property tax under special assessments, and I talked at the council about it, and how someone could lose their home, he said that they weren't going to do that but, do I trust that? No!
