Board members discuss recent eviction case and possible appeal
Summary
During the meeting members discussed a recent eviction ruling and raised concerns that the tenant's disability may not have been fairly addressed; participants said they wanted more information and no formal action was taken.
Board members discussed an eviction case that a speaker said may be headed for appeal and raised concerns about how a tenant with a disability was handled.
Clerk summarized his view of the court outcome, saying, "My take on that eviction was that the judge... was looking for a way out not to be a bad guy. He found a way out," and indicated the losing party may appeal. Chair responded, "I wanna hear the whole story," and asked for Mike's perspective. The clerk and others noted the appeal could be based on a claim that a handicapped person "that's not been dealt with fairly."
