RE:	Mortgage Release

Background:

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

1) Benjamin M. Gibler and Dayna J. Lee, 2732 Rawhide Lane, participated in the Homeowners Out of Tenants (HOOT) program in 2001.

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 Release of Mortgage for Benjamin M. Gibler and Dayna J. Lee, 2732 Rawhide Lane.

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