Securities Coxp, to Repurchase Tax Forfeited property at 1523-1525 Reanev Avenue.
It was noted, for the record, that an application to repurchase this tax farfeited property had been
reviewed by the Legislative Hearing Officer on June 9, 2009. Said minutes are attached and made a
part of this recard. At that time, the recommendation was to deny the repurchase application.
Mr. Magner stated that he believed the property was occupied and expressed concern as to whether
the applicant would attempt to sell the property to the previous owner or occupant, Tou Yang. The
police issues at the property were of concern to him and he would not recommend granting the
repurchase of the property by the mortgage company.
Ms. Moermond stated that according to tax recards, there was no foreclosure recorded back to
October 2009; therefore, there was no sheriff sale. She also noted that there were a number of tax
payments which had been made which payments had then been reversed.
Ms. Moermond stated that she would recommend the Council request Ramsey Counry to deny the
repurchase application.
