Re= Waiving of Liens
One of the essential prerequisites for the demolition of structures damaged by
Hurricane Rita is a waiving of all liens for those homes, which qualify for this program.
Therefore, I would like to recommend no liens be filed against the owners of these
structures. This memorandum is one part of the required documentation needed by
the representatives of FEMA
I know that an official action by Council will have to be taken. However, this
memorandum will serve ti'mt purpose until such action is forlhooming.
