BODY
Whereas, The property located at 324 South 2nd Street was the subject of a condemnation order from the former City of Milwaukee Department of Building Inspection, which resulted in litigation over the reasonableness of the raze order; and,

Whereas, The property owner was invoiced for this amount and after a failure to pay was the subject of a lawsuit by the City of Milwaukee filed by the Robert Kohn Firm to collect the demolition costs; and,
Whereas, The parties have reached an agreement through the litigation in which the property owner will pay to the city $80,000; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the proper city officials are authorized to cancel the invoice against the property at 324 South 2nd Street in the amount of $170,728.08 If the above referred settlement is approved by the court and then actually goes to judgement in the amount of $80,000.
