During a recent government meeting, a resident raised concerns regarding an unpaid water bill that has led to potential lien threats against his property. The individual, who had recently purchased a property that was previously in foreclosure, detailed his frustrations with Bank of America, which he believes should be responsible for the outstanding balance of $43.94.
The resident explained that the property had undergone a lengthy foreclosure process, lasting nearly nine months, before being auctioned off. He expressed dissatisfaction with the situation, stating that he had already paid the fine to avoid a lien, but felt it was unjust for him to bear the financial burden stemming from a misprint and the previous owner's debts.
In response, city officials assured the resident that someone from the city staff would follow up with him to discuss his concerns further. The mayor acknowledged the situation and indicated that the city would look into the matter, emphasizing the importance of communication and support for residents facing such issues.
The resident was encouraged to reach out to the city clerk or the mayor directly if he did not receive a timely response. The meeting concluded with a commitment from city officials to address the resident's concerns and provide clarity on the next steps.
