Burton Caplan stated that Glen Harrington received ars email from Attorney Davis offering $4,000 to settle the amount owed of over $42,000. Mr. Harrington is pleased that Bank of America has finally contacted the,Board of Health. Glen Harrington stated that the money owed to the Ma tepee Department of Public Works for the labor to clean up the site at 170 Mahpee Neck Road has been paid to the Town of Mahpee by Bank of America. It was about $350 for cleaning the area, boarding up the garage, and removing some items. Glen Harrington commented that the $42,000 fine was ac cr ed on a daily basis through the violation of not cleaning up the property. The fine was $100 per day beginning November 29, 1 , and continued until April 23, 2012, 412 days of non-compliance. Bank of America assumed ownership on February 22, 2013. Burton Kaplan questioned whether or not there was a foreclosure auction. Normally, foreclosure auctions discharge previous obligations. Mr. Harrington stated that there were 3 auctions for this property, and Bank of America bought the property back each time. Glen Harrington remarked that during the process of trying to clean up the property, at least a dozen people granted to purchase this property. Mr. Harrington assured that perhaps the Bank did not have possession of the property and could not sell it because it was in the foreclosure process. Mr. Harrington commented that the Board should allow the Bank to move forward. Mr. Harrington would like to cover the expenses that the Board of Health and Torn Counsel have expended on the property at 170 Ma tepee Beek Road. Lucy Burton commented that it is rare that money is received for some of these issues, especially where huge amounts are due. Ms. Burton believes it would be a burden on the ownership, the transfer, and the progress of moving forward on the property at 170 Mahpee Neck Toad if a settlement is not reached.
