Officials say legal firm pursuing old tax‑sale proceeds; some claims may be time‑barred
Officials and staff reviewed excess‑proceeds accounts and said they expect several distributions in April 2025 if work by outside counsel continues. One participant noted they "gone through my excess proceeds accounts" and that several bid amounts could be dispersed in April. Staff said their legal firm would press to recover older funds "wherever they can go."

During the discussion, staff noted an older case where the statute of limitations had restarted or otherwise complicated recovery: "I have one that's ... and that started their statute of limitations over years." The group said the legal firm is working the older cases with the tax office to try to recover funds. Participants discussed creating a list of cases to prioritize and asked the firm to press hard to recover monies when appropriate.

No formal vote or claim adjudication is recorded in the transcript excerpt. The discussion is procedural and reflects staff direction to continue collection efforts with outside counsel and the tax office; staff said they will provide a listing of cases being pursued.
