At the time of decedenYs death, there were insufficient cash funds in the Estate to pay the real estate taxes. Through inadvertence and mistake, the taxes have not been paid. Appiicant mistakenly believed that when the property was taken for nonpayment of taxes, the property would be sold and the proceeds would be appiied first to pay the unpaid taxes and costs incurred by the county and the balance wouid be paid to the Estate. Patrick F. Flaherty has been a friend of Applicant for over 50 years. He and Applicant attended high school together. Mr. Flaherty is a retired attorney and former senior partner with Moss & Barnett, a well respected law firm located in downtown Minneapolis. Mr. Flaherty recently became aware of ApplicanYs default in payment of the reai estate taxes on the property. He then confronted Applicant with the severe consequences that would result from the default, and Applicant retained Moss & Barnett to assist him in making this Application to Repurchase and in selling the property if this Appiication is granted. Appiicant nas persanaiiy acivanced sutsicieni fu�uis fo pay me down paymeni amount totaling $2,613.63 and delivers with this Application a cashier's check in said amount. Applicant intends to deliver the remaining balance due totaling $9,447.96 to the county prior to the time the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners meets to consider this Application. Granting this Application will prevent undue hardship and an injustice from occurring in that the heirs of John Robert Murdock will be able to realize an inheritance from their father upon repurchase of the Estate's interest in the property from the county. If this Application is granted, Appiicant will prepare the property for sale and will list the property promptly with a licensed real estate broker with the intent of selling the property. �I�esolution Board of 0 3 =*1 Ramsey CoutatzJ Com.missione�-s Presented By Commissioner Rettman Date December 21, 1999 No. 99-507 Attention: gud etin and Accountin 9 9 5 Page 1 of 5 Dorothy McClung, Property Records & Revenue Tax Forfeited Lands WHEREAS, The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners desires to establish a repurchase policy for tax forfeited lands that is consistent cvith Minnesota Statutes and reElects the Board's standards for promoting the public interest; and NIHEREAS, The Ramsey County Board intends to establish a fa?r and equitable process for the repurchase of tax *orieited land that will cozrecC any undue hardship or injustice or aromote the use of such lands that will serve the public interest; a:,d WHEREAS, The Ramsey County Board of Commiss�_o:�2rs acknowledges the responsibility of local governments to establish ordinances governinq the use and maintenance of pro�erties in their jurisdictions and supports efforts of local governments to strengthen neighborhoods by ridding the neighbor�oods of nuisances; Now, Therefore, Be It RESOLVED, That the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners will approve a repurchase application of tax forfeited lands by a prior owner upon a finding by the Board that such rep�archase either will correct any undue hardship or injustice resulting from the forfeiture or that such repurchase will promote the use of such lands that will best serve the public interest; ar:d Be It Further RESOLVED, That a repurchase application will b� processed by Property Records and Revenue in the following ma�^�r: a) Recommendation of Municipality Each repurchase application will be referred to �h� r:�unicipality in cvhich the property is located. ..The municipali�y c•rill document wnether the property is considered a municipal �roblem based on documented police, building code, illegal ac�ivity, or health violations within the past five years.
