Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried. The request of the owner of property located at 539 Edison for reimbursement of special assessments in the amount of $540 . 00 for rental inspection fees was reviewed. The property was purchased by Matthew L. Baish in January 1997 . When Mr. Baish received his tax bill, there was $540 . 00 owing for special assessment for rental inspection fees . The Fire Department did an inspection of said address in March 1996 at the request of the tenant, and several problems were found. A letter was sent to the owner' s sister' s home, which the owner left as a forwarding address, requesting a reinspection of the property and no one responded. A total of five inspections were scheduled, with the last inspection completed in November 1996 . The unpaid rental inspection fees were filed with the Black Hawk County Treasurer' s office as a lien on the property in June 1997 . At the time the assessments were filed with the Black Hawk County Treasurer' s office, Mr. Baish was refinancing the property located at 539 Edison and the lien assessments were discovered. In order to close the loan on the property, Mr. Baish paid the $540 . 00 . Mr. Baish is requesting a reimbursement of the $540 . 00 because of the above circumstances . Ms . Krizek requested that the City Clerk send a letter to the Black Hawk County Board of Realtors reminding them to advise all buyers that there could be outstanding fees for sewer, garbage, rental and fire inspections, and lot cleaning services that have not yet been certified to the Black Hawk County Treasurer. Mr. Anders recommended that Mr. Baish be reimbursed the $540 . 00, and he did not feel it would set a precedent for other property owners . Moved by Getty, seconded by Mollenhoff that the request for reimbursement of special assessments in the amount of $540 .00 for rental inspection fees for property located at 539 Edison be approved.
