5. Application of Joel J. Leonazd to repurchase tax-forfeited property at 1198 Blair Avenue.
Mr. Magner stated that DSI staff had a lot of involvement with this property and he had been
briefed fairly well concern the history. The owner had lost the property to tax forfeiture as he did
not comprehend that he was responsible for paying the property taxes. Kay Wittgenstein, House
Calls, became involved with Mr. Leonard and a social worker from Lutheran Social Services was
appointed as a receiver to assist Mr. Leonard in bringing the property back up to code and to ensure
that he pays his bills. He said DSI would recommend approving the repurchase application.
Ms. Moermond responded given these facts, she would recommend approving the repurchase
application.
