' QUESTIONS AND /OR COMMENTS .
Atty Perkins - the town has a Local Law that states that in the opinion of the
Building Inspector that a dwelling has become unsafe shall make an inspection
and report to the Town Board, which he has done. The Town Board shall then
adopt a resolution, which was done at the April 10th Board meeting. Notice
shall then be served upon the record owner according to the records being
maintained by the Town Clerk and according to the records in the County Clerk's
Office. in this case, the records in the Town Clerk's tax roll identify the
owners of this property as Genevieve, Thomas and Henry Morse. The records in
the County indicate that this parcel was conveyed to Tompkins County by a tax
deed dated October 1983. The County was notified of this meeting and service
was made to the Clerk of the Board of Representatives. Right now the County
is the record owner or title holder.
Al Morse - would like to see this problem straightened out. He lives next door
and he cannot seem to get clear title to the property. if he could get the deed
and title straightened out he is willing to pay the taxes and clear up the
property.

Co Rep Watros - since the County now owns it, it will be easily settled at a
tax sale. Whoever buys the property will receive a quick claim deed. To dispose
of the current problem they might be able to have a special sale to dispose of
this parcel with the condition that the high bidder remove or improve the dwelling.
Atty Perkins - a copy of this notice was filed in the County Clerk's Office and
a notation was made on the deed to the County, that the purchaser from the County
is aware of this-proceeding that is already in progress and be put on notice.
Co Rep Watrosi- would like to try and have the County Administrator advertise to
sell the property immediately, so that the new owner can clean up the mess even
though they have their tax sales in the fall.
Atty Perkins - the towns concern is to clean up'the property,
it was decided that Co Rep Watros will take action with the County Administrator
to conduct a sale, and if for some reason that they can't the county will take
the responsibility to clean up the property. He will let the Board know of their
decision within a week or at the Board Meeting on May 8th as to what will be done.
Supt Cotterill - felt that something should be done within the next 30 days.
