WHEREAS, property located in the Village of Wurtsboro and Town of Mamakating designated on the Sullivan County Real Property Tax Map as Mamakating 106.-6-13, being 0.20 acres located at 129 Sullivan Street is owned by the Village of Wurtsboro by virtue of an Article 11 foreclosure for 2018 taxes; and
WHEREAS, said 0.20 acre parcel of land has been deemed an unsafe building and is a hazard to the public. The Village of Wurtsboro will take title to the parcel and demolish the unsafe building to be used as municipal parking thereafter; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Inter-Municipal Agreement between the Village of Wurtsboro and the County of Sullivan, the successful bidder of Village-owned parcels sold at Public Auction are required to pay all taxes owed to the County of Sullivan; and

WHEREAS, the Real Property Advisory Board has reviewed the offer of the Village of Wurtsboro and recommends that the Village be permitted to pay the base amount of outstanding taxes due to the County of Sullivan for this parcel for the reasons set forth above, as it is in the best interest of the County of Sullivan since it will be designated for public use;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Sullivan County Treasurer is hereby authorized to accept the base amount of outstanding 2020, 2021 and 2022 property taxes in the sum of $25,356.72 from the Village of Wurtsboro in full and final satisfaction of the County’s lien against the parcel in question.
