RE:	Mortgage Release

Background:

The following individual(s) participated in a Community Development Division loan program. 

1) John and Valerie Fittell, 3107 Longhorn Drive, participated in the Emergency and Furnace Loan program in 2003.

2) Catherine L. McNish, 1002 Home Circle, participated in the Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) program in 1998.

Based on the program the individual(s) participated in, a mortgage was placed on the property.  The balance is due when the property is no longer owner-occupied, however individuals have the option to pay off the loan at any time.  Staff has determined that all of the required monthly payments have been received for the above loan(s) that have resulted in a zero balance due to the City.

Staff Recommendation:

The mortgage provisions have been satisfied and the mortgage(s) should be released.

Action:

Authorize the Mayor to sign the Releases of Mortgage for John and Valerie Fittell, 3107 Longhorn Drive; and Catherine L. McNish, 1002 Home Circle.

The City Clerk’s office will have the documents ready for the Mayor's signature.  If you have further questions, please let me know.
