A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF CERTAIN TAX
FORECLOSED PROPERTY FOR THE YEAR 1993 AND PRIOR YEARS
WHEREAS, Alaska Statutes Title 29 and Kodiak Island Borough Code 3.20 set out
the procedure in which to acquire private property due to the non payment of taxes;
and
WHEREAS, the action of foreclosure of private parcels is a very specific and legal
process taking up to two years to conclude requiring the acquisition of title reports
and information on lien holders and others having interest in the land; and
WHEREAS, record owners are notified monthly of their delinquent tax obligation.
Record owners and others with interest in the property are additionally notified by
certified letters of the pending foreclosure of property many times throughout the
process. Names of delinquent property taxpayers are also published in the newspaper
a total of eight (8) times during the two year process; and
WHEREAS, all effort in this process is structured not to foreclose on the parcel, but
to encourage property owners to meet their tax obligations as do all other property
owners; and
WHEREAS, KIBC 18.10.020 requires that tax foreclosed property be acquired by
resolution of the Assembly; and
WHEREAS, KIBC 18.10.030 states that tax foreclosed parcels acquired by Assembly
resolution be reviewed by the Planning Commission. The Commission will determine
which properties should be devoted to public use and which properties should be
offered for disposal; and
WHEREAS, such a determination by the Commission will be forwarded to the Mayor
and Assembly prior to a final deposition decision by the Assembly;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE KODIAK ISLAND
BOROUGH THAT:
