Ms. Taylor explained that Mr. Hotaling had funds that would be available in a few days to pay the balance of the fines.
Mr. Burke asked, if acceptable to the board, if he could release the first lien and retain the second lien of $1,065. Mr. White asked how much was owed on the first lien. Mr. Burke informed him it was $550. The board agreed to release the first lien and hold the second pending the final payment.
Mr. Burke discussed some things that needed to be done to the house before the weather changed.
