Backup Documents 01/08-09/2013 Item #12EEXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to authorize a representative of the County Attorney's Office to bid on eight parcels on behalf of the County at code enforcement lien foreclosure sales scheduled by the Clerk in the case styled Board of County Commissioners of Collier County v. Henry J. Tesno, et aL, now pending in the Circuit Court of the Twentieth Judicial Circuit, in and for Collier County, Florida, Case No. 11-904-CA. OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board authorization for a representative of the County Attorney's Office to bid on eight parcels to be sold at separate foreclosure sales (currently set for January 17, 2013), as a result of a Summary Final Judgment in favor of the County in Collier County v. Henry J. Tesno, et al., Case No. 11 904 -CA. CONSIDERATIONS: On May 26, 2009 (Agenda Item 16K4) and April 27, 2010 (Agenda Item 16K1), the Board authorized the initiation of foreclosure proceedings against Henry Tesno and Jill Weaver in relation to twenty -two (22) code enforcement liens. The foreclosure action was filed on March 22, 2011. On December 14, 2012, the Court entered a Final Summary Judgment for Foreclosure in favor of the County, reciting a total sum due of $1,063,504.41 under the liens. A copy of the December 10 judgment is attached in the backup to this item. The judgment also directed the Clerk to sell eight of Tesno and Weaver's properties located off of Bayshore Drive, in unincorporated Collier County, to satisfy the liens. These sales are scheduled to take place on January 17, 2013. In the event the County obtains title to the properties, there is a strong likelihood that the County will be able to recoup any cleanup costs, as well as costs associated with the acquisition of these parcels, upon re -sale. There is also the potential for recovery of the County's costs via third - party bidders. Accordingly, the County's minimum bids will be calculated to recoup all hard costs expended by the County in relation to the foreclosure and underlying violations. FISCAL IMPACT: If the County takes title to any of the properties, nominal recording costs will be required. These costs are to be paid from the "Code Enforcement Board Fines" Revenue Account. Sufficient budget exists in the FY 2013 Fund (111) Code Enforcement Department budget to participate in this foreclosure sale. Any fiscal impact will likely be offset upon acquisition and/or sale of the properties. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Authorize a representative of the County Attorney's Office to bid on the subject parcels up to the amount of its final judgment at the foreclosure sale; and 2. Accept title to the parcels and authorize recording of title to the properties, upon confirmation of the sale by the Clerk and issuance of a Certificate of Title; and 3. Authorize staff to pay any fees, assessments, or expenses associated with the sale and recording of the Certificate of Title; and 4. Authorize staff to take necessary measures to abate the existing violations on the property and to thereafter surplus and sell the property in accordance with state and local laws.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board authorization for the Office of the County Attorney to initiate foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Section 162.09, Florida Statutes, in relation to ten (10) code enforcement liens (totaling $304,242.65) imposed against all real and personal property owned by Henry Tesno and Jill Weaver, for minimum housing and unlicensed vehicle ordinance violations at several properties in Collier County. CONSIDERATIONS: Together, Henry Tesno and Jill Weaver ( "Tesno and Weaver ") own twelve residential properties in Collier County. They have a long history of code enforcement violations, and in the past ten years, over twenty -five liens have been imposed against their real and personal property, mainly for minimum housing violations. According to Code Enforcement Department calculations, the total. amount of outstanding fines exceeds one million dollars. Most of the ten liens at issue are the result of minimum housing violations, and include renting property to tenants without running water or electricity, and other violations involving unsafe structures. These violations create serious health and safety concerns. Additional details concerning the ten liens that are the subject of the proposed foreclosure action include the following: Case No. Amount OR Bk/Pa e OSM 2006 - 081081 $ 1,151.16 4305/2843 OSM 2006-110049 $ 2,630.98 4402/1175 OSM 2007 - 020244 $ 874.69 4305/2650 OSM 2007 - 030057 $ 26,562.59 4305/2912 OSM 2007 - 040275 $ 149,719.65 4332/0679 OSM 2007 - 070378 $ 5,267.95 4305/2693 OSM 2007 - 070379 $ 55,767.95 4324/2113 OSM 2007 - 080081 $ 491.79 4378/0816 OSM 2007 - 080702 $ 31,317.30 4324/2109 OSM 2008- 007987 $ 30,458.59 4399/3517 TOTAL $ 304,242.65 Under Section 162.09, Florida Statutes, these liens are against all real and personal property owned by Tesno and Weaver.

These properties are located just north of the intersection of Bayshore Drive and Thomasson Drive. Together, these four non - homestead properties are appraised at $244,204.00, according to the Collier County Property Appraiser 2008 Final Tax Roll. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of initiating a foreclosure suit is approximately $360.00 (representing a $300.00 filing fee plus cost of service). Costs for maintaining the lawsuit (including, as necessary, any title review, copies, mailings, service, transcripts, and other routine litigation costs) should not exceed $500. The County should ultimately recover all costs in initiating and pursuing this lawsuit. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this Executive Summary. ADDITIONAL LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is not quasi-judicial, and as such no ex parte disclosure is required. This item requires a simple majority vote, and is legally sufficient for Board action. -JW RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Office of the County Attorney to initiate foreclosure proceedings against any and all of Tesno and Weaver's non - homestead property, in relation to the code enforcement liens referenced above, pursuant to Section 162.09 Florida Statutes.

OBJECTIVE: To obtain Board authorization to initiate foreclosure proceedings pursuant to Section 162.09, Florida Statutes, in relation to twenty -two (22) code enforcement liens (totaling $878,341.91) imposed against all real and personal property owned by Henry Tesno and Jill Weaver, for various code enforcement violations at several properties in Collier County. CONSIDERATIONS: Henry Tesno and Jill Weaver ( "Tesno and Weaver") own eleven residential properties in Collier County. They have a long and extensive history of code enforcement violations. In the past ten years, over twenty -five liens have been imposed against their real and personal property, mainly for minimum housing and litter violations.

Since then, the County has filed a counterclaim asserting various code enforcement lien interests. Because there are twelve additional liens that are eligible for foreclosure, this item seeks authorization to foreclose any and all of the listed liens, via complaint or counterclaim, against any and all non - homestead properties owned by Tesno and/or Weaver. FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of initiating the proposed foreclosure proceeding is approximately $2,000.00 (representing a $905.00 filing fee, plus costs of service, publication, and other related costs). Costs for maintaining the lawsuit (including, as necessary, any title review, copies, mailings, service, transcripts, and other routine litigation costs) should not exceed $1,000. The County should ultimately recover all costs in initiating and pursuing this lawsuit. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management Impact associated with this Executive Summary. ADDITIONAL LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is legally sufficient for Board action. -JW RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners authorize the Office of the County Attorney to initiate foreclosure proceedings against any and all of Tesno and Weaver's non - homestead property, in relation to the code enforcement liens referenced above, pursuant to Section 162.09 Florida Statutes.
