Sebring council agrees to accept payoff and release lien for 503 East Center Avenue
Summary
Council authorized an estoppel letter to accept a payoff from Ginger Lee Mitchell Lindo and release the city's lien on 503 East Center Avenue if the specified amount is paid by the deadline.
The Sebring City Council authorized an estoppel letter and accepted an offer from Ginger Lee Mitchell Lindo to pay a specified payoff amount to resolve a final judgment and obtain a release of lien on 503 East Center Avenue.
Staff described a prior lawsuit that resulted in a final judgment in favor of the city. The presentation stated the original final judgment amount and explained the current owner wishes to sell the property and offered to pay a stated amount to obtain a release of the lien. Staff described the requested estoppel letter as an acknowledgement that the city would accept the stated payoff amount in exchange for a full release of the lien; council action is permissive but available.
A council member moved to accept Ginger Lee Mitchell Lindo's offer to pay the city $27,768.25 on or before Aug. 1, 2025, in exchange for the city's release of lien for 503 East Center Avenue and to authorize the council president to execute an estoppel letter to that effect. The motion was seconded and carried by roll call.
Staff earlier referenced a final judgment figure in the meeting record that differed from the payoff figure presented in the motion; the council motion records the payment amount and deadline as part of the motion.
The city authorized the release contingent on the specified payment by the deadline and directed staff to execute the appropriate estoppel instrument.
