Case 9.1: Growth Services Director Chuck Verdin told the board that case 767636 (parcel ID 14432-000-02) was recorded in February 2019 as a code-enforcement lien for junk, unserviceable vehicle and an improperly sited business and RV. The owners had paid $1,500 toward the total lien; staff reported administrative hard costs of $1,056.10 and listed the total code-enforcement board lien as $6,000. Jimmy Mason told the board he had cleared violations. Commissioner Zalick moved — and Commissioner McLean seconded — to rescind the remaining balance on the lien; the board voted unanimously to clear the remainder. (Growth Services’ paperwork listed a remaining balance of $5,556.10 prior to the vote.)

Case 9.2: Growth Services described two separate recorded liens on parcel 5115-031-013 from May 16, 2012: a code-enforcement board lien and a junk-abatement lien tied to vendor cleanup costs. Staff reported the vendor abatement cost at $4,350 and administrative hard costs of $991.83, with interest accrued on the abatement lien. Wesley Bailey Jr., the current owner, said he had purchased the property through a transaction in which a title search apparently was not completed; he said he was unaware of the lien when he bought the parcel several years earlier.

After discussion, the board voted 4–1 to reduce the outstanding obligation to the county’s direct abatement cost ($4,350), waive accrued interest going forward, and apply $500 that Bailey previously paid toward that abatement; the applied payment reduces the remaining balance to $3,850. The board asked county staff to set up a reasonable payment schedule handled at staff level. Commissioner Zalick cast the lone dissent on the 4–1 vote.

Both actions were taken in public session. In the 2012 case, staff noted the property changed ownership multiple times and was sold at tax deed in 2013; board members discussed mechanisms that could notify the county when documents are recorded against parcels with active liens to prevent future unnotified transfers.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Marion County - Board of County Commissioners on 2025-03-05 9:00 AM - Mar 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The board rescinded a 2019 code-enforcement lien for one property and reduced a second, older lien to the county’s abatement cost with a payment plan; commissioners approved the actions at Tuesday’s meeting, with one dissent on the second case.","taxTitle","Marion County, Florida","taxId",4897,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6650608,"Marion County approves purchase of 1-acre parcel for NW 49th Street road project",516,4704000,5220000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505991-e80d9da2c0871ff5fb0bcd20c73ad335&start=4704&end=5220","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505991-e80d9da2c0871ff5fb0bcd20c73ad335/thumbnail_4704000.jpg","/articles/6650608/Marion-County/Florida/Marion-County-approves-purchase-of-1-acre-parcel-for-NW-49th-Street-road-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650608-f901e00c599191e8fe3d38eb1359378c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450846&Signature=NVc1n2e7iZPCSec~dxBV8F4jXXW2DXVPG6x5dc5d6c9fuGb7HaRSXGneUYLPKp7aZeRBcLjPTslGULatxFBQiTsePNitY-T3kegwFKz7Il0ztKZSMo5fmy~U1REQRa~ZSXUKUTx7gamtkuXlGA8PYLGShrdtnLh9uJ3Hi~dnxUYa774exaejNEp8kZ7r5JnFoxT1zoWBWUJVhgMEpWfe8L64kpgsYaN0yF7rrMmFu76d9nQ57GZ6B6RvhFiAPatvbyaUyktmzi~b7vV426Xpxdg~vxdLK72MaPcm-pXBntM1f8FTJl-EUTomtLcRn5Di7JSsCm6bjS1K5wjD8RMaBQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marion County commissioners approved a purchase-and-sale agreement, avoiding eminent domain, to acquire a one-acre improved parcel owned by Richard and Stephanie Flint for the Northwest 49th Street phase 3 road project.

County Attorney Mr. Minter described the parcel as improved with a residence and an accessory structure where the owner, associated with Albright’s Halters, operated a leather-halter fabrication business. Right-of-way needs for the road project would have left the house with uncertain utility reconnections, so the county negotiated a full acquisition. The agreement includes an itemized purchase of specialized machinery and equipment the owner used to make halters; the equipment line-item total in the packet is $47,680.

Commissioner Stone moved to approve the purchase-and-sale agreement; Commissioner McLean seconded. Commissioners asked about the zoning (agricultural/residential) and business-damage valuation; county counsel and staff said the owner’s long-running on-site business entitled him to claim business damages in an eminent-domain-style valuation. The board approved the agreement unanimously.

County staff noted the machinery could be retained by the county, displayed in a museum or otherwise repurposed, or sold. Staff will finalize closing steps to acquire the parcel and listed equipment as described in the agreement.","The board unanimously approved a purchase-and-sale agreement to acquire a one-acre property owned by Richard and Stephanie Flint for the Northwest 49th Street (Phase 3) roadway project; the acquisition includes specialized machinery and equipment valued in the agreement.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6650613,"Marion County approves $135,000 settlement after county truck struck a vehicle",121,4569000,4690000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2505991-e80d9da2c0871ff5fb0bcd20c73ad335&start=4569&end=4690","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2505991-e80d9da2c0871ff5fb0bcd20c73ad335/thumbnail_4569000.jpg","/articles/6650613/Marion-County/Florida/Marion-County-approves-135000-settlement-after-county-truck-struck-a-vehicle","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6650613-0ccfa806966cd68f0a97075d17155dea/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450846&Signature=fuBy59eqw-WEHU-FK8-eVRCK~K4xvz-F-SrjF4DivLP~I2QXwePxtvVJnt4izvAcMpUgT0J28oJ74bikFRIZDFGmsRjAFjD1fGHuJZjnD34DJtZI-SuMxf722Fs6pQXgLX3k7fo2~bALcYNLUYJJR~dh5Pg5uid-8sOJPlxYWgRzqFd8ORzBN4QDnnIUSszFdvNaBXFHZ12hcuNXBE66rf4wNnd2HFSpt7oXDGnuU4a3xKysvancZfoN3cPtkkPd38hkGLDbzHIYSk3PzKycaODRfabK0KVLLRasB8Ekv2wSQEsFriKdNJidVL91dl5sjrUM-24b3a6DbK3qfGGyHw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Marion County commissioners voted unanimously to approve a $135,000 settlement to resolve a negligence claim arising after a Marion County Fire Rescue pickup struck a private vehicle during a roadway collision.

County Attorney Mr. Minter told the board the county’s vehicle hydroplaned and struck the plaintiff’s car. The plaintiff required shoulder surgery, and the claim was initially presented to the county under the $200,000 sovereign-immunity cap by the plaintiff’s attorneys. Mr. Minter said the county negotiated the claim down to $135,000 and recommended approval.

Commissioner Zalick moved for approval and Commissioner Stone seconded. The board called the vote and approved the settlement unanimously.

The settlement resolves the county’s potential liability in the crash; the county attorney described the payment as a negotiated resolution of the plaintiff’s damages. No additional details about payment timing or releasement language were discussed on the record.","The Marion County Board of County Commissioners unanimously approved a $135,000 settlement to resolve a negligence claim after a Marion County Fire Rescue truck hydroplaned and struck a civilian vehicle, injuring the driver.","actionData","errors"]
