David Carlisle
1311 NE 105 Street
Mr. David Carlisle was present, was sworn in and testified that he is trying to close but it was
postponed because of this lien. Also present, Attorney Michael Tobin representing Mr.
Carlisle. Mr. Tobin proceeded to claim that because the Enforcement Order recorded had no fine
amount in paragraph 5 that there should be no lien. The Village Attorney said that this is not the
position our Legal Department takes. The amount not filled in in paragraph 5 of the
Enforcement Order is considered a scrivener’s error. The Board asked questions. The amount
offered was amended to $1,000.00 payable in 30 days.
Motion to approve $1,000.00 payable in 30 days by Mr. Huber. The Motion failed due to
