The Lucas County Board of County Commissioners approved a release of a community house impact and preservation program mortgage for Craig and Valerie Martin, whose residence is listed as 10059 Brook Road in White House, Ohio. Gina Kazala, the presenter named in the agenda, described the mortgage terms and payoff.

"The original mortgage was for $31,895," Kazala said, adding that the promissory note stipulated that if the homeowners maintained and lived in the house for five years, 80% of the mortgage would be forgivable. Kazala said that reduced the balance by $25,516 and left $6,379, which she said was paid on May 1.

The board acted on a motion to approve the release, moved by Commissioner Lopez; the clerk conducted a roll call and commissioners recorded affirmative responses. No dollar amount beyond the mortgage figures was requested and no amendments to the program terms were made during the discussion.
