cases and so on are we have been using lexus nexus their price has been three hundred ninety dollars a month there is a set of books that is not included in that which  creation of any new halfway houses what we build new language which has taken longer than we anticipated but it is now crafted and ready to go before the planning commission for a public hearing and to the city council for public hearings are just questing that more  proposal to lease property that was sort of contiguous to what was then woodlawn preserve and this is actually someone who has a property that is contiguous to the actual lawn preserve between the middle school and the church it's a half acre lot it's fairly current and taxes but the owner is getting only it being unable to develop it wants to just give it to the city i think it would be a good addition into the city get a good piece that allows us to abandon some streets around there with this one and there are six other tiny particles that we're actually taking to the foreclosure process right now so probably home everything within the city within the eighty dollars for with the school district i am unsure yes it looks like he and i can tell you know they can verify that actually he is either he's current through the end of two thousand and eleven which is what good is it going to do for us i think it makes a lot of sense you can see here i mean this is the whole preserve and it's this little piece raven here it allows us to abandon all your born to have a name is a developer it is potentially develop yes the first one is we are gearing up to do in the house all of the tax foreclosures for punky and right now the provisions of the city charter charter specifically on seasick stache thirteen through c six dash eighteen provide for the rules and procedures for on the city to go through tax foreclosures those rules are antiquated they are not really consistent with the procedures that should be followed and what i would like to do is all of those sections six steps thirteen through seasick stash eighteen delete them and very put in one simple section that says for the collection of taxes we follow article eleven of the new york state real property tax law that's consistent with what is being done for the rest of the state and it's a very straightforward clear procedure and i don't see any reason why we would want to follow what is in our code there are some things in there that are actually poorly written and subject to interpretation depending on if there are challenges to various things the only thing that i see as being something where you should exercise some discretion is that right now under our code if the property is owner occupied they would be entitled upon proof of that to get an additional year before the city would foreclose on the back taxes article level the real property tax law does not provide for that and we could when we rewrite what would be replacing all of that if you wanted to we could  provision and that would not be inconsistent with the state law so that it would be acceptable and so that's a that's discretionary in your part outside of that i don't see anything that would be controversial in deleting everything that's in the and just say we're following article eleven of the real property tax law and what i would like to do is call for a public hearing on on this board meeting or this upcoming council meeting call for the public hearing so that we get a public hearing and then on the following pass the legislation that's needed we would like to just you know obviously the biggest concern would be you know ten in occupied buildings where he owner doesn't live nearby or lose right next door and doesn't really care that person's own water has been shut  their power bill so my concern again is for the time that's they could be innocent bystanders in this fight and if there's a way to i don't know the way to be if there's a way to get around that because we could have people that may be section eight housing in the same schenectady where the check goes right from
