Commission approves tax-foreclosure counsel engagement and court appointment after executive session
Summary
Following executive session, the commission approved hiring a foreclosure attorney to handle overdue tax sales (fee charged to properties upon sale) and appointed John Purvis as coach court judge at $500 per docket; earlier motions approved meeting minutes and claims totaling $788,674.43.
After a 20-minute executive session on legal matters, the board asked Janet to summarize the outcome. Janet recommended the county retain an outside attorney to manage tax-foreclosure sales. The transcript records motions to hire the attorney (identified in the meeting record with variant spellings: Kalinda/Kalenda Austerman/Osterman) at a fee the board discussed as $275 per tract, with administrative costs to be recovered from property sale proceeds. The commission moved, seconded, and voted aye to retain the attorney for the foreclosure work.
The board also heard a personnel item: the coach court judge had resigned and the commission appointed John Purvis to the role at a rate of $500 per docket. Commissioners moved and voted to appoint Purvis and set the docket fee.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved the previous meeting’s minutes and approved claims in the amount of $788,674.43 after a motion and second.
