Council moves to clear title on 507 Butler Street after homeowner's death
Summary
Councilors moved to forgive the remaining term of a forgivable mortgage on 507 Butler Street following the recent death of homeowner Bob Fees and to sign a release of mortgage to give clear title to the property; the five-year occupancy term would have expired April 19, 2026.
The council reviewed a home-improvement forgivable mortgage tied to 507 Butler Street that had been part of a city grant program for low- and moderate-income owner-occupied residences in 2020–2021.
Meeting minutes state that the homeowner, Bob Fees, recently died; his home was the last property still enrolled in the program. The program required beneficiaries to occupy the property for five years in exchange for a forgivable mortgage; that five-year term would expire April 19, 2026.
Councilor Gary Fricke moved and Josh Fuller seconded a motion to forgive the remaining term and sign a release of mortgage to provide clear title to the home. The motion was recorded in the minutes; no additional conditions or rollbacks were noted in the March 25 record.
The council did not discuss any repayment or reassignment conditions in the March 25 minutes; the minutes record the motion to clear title for 507 Butler Street.
