AN ORDINANCE REQUIRING THAT THE SALE OF REAL PROPERTY

WHEREAS, The City of Richmond Unsafe Building Commission, on January 21, 2014,
conducted a hearing and affirmed an Unsafe Building Order previously recorded
on November 27, 2013 at the Office of the Wayne County, Indiana Recorder as
instrument number 2013010366 with said Order being issued to Spring Grove
Development, LLC relative to real property located at 1403 Chester Blvd.,
Richmond, Indiana 47374 (together with any associated adjacent common street
addresses comprising the "Former Hospital Site"); and further, a Continuous
Enforcement Order was issued in accordance with I.C. §36-7-9-7 giving the Owner
thirty (30) days in which to complete the repair or removal of the subject structures;
and
WHEREAS, The Owner failed, within the time set forth above, to comply with the Order, which
provided the City of Richmond with the ability to carry out the same; and
WHEREAS, the subject property became delinquent in real estate taxes, which caused it to be
eligible for tax sale by the Wayne County, Indiana Treasurer, subject to the right of
redemption, to the highest bidder at public auction. The real property was not to be
sold for an amount which is less than the sum of all delinquent taxes and special
assessments on the tract, together with penalties and costs of the sale; and
WHEREAS, In the event that the tract is not sold at a tax sale, the County Executive acquires a
lien on the same in an amount of the minimum sale price; and
WHEREAS, The subject tract failed to sell at the tax sale; and as a result, the Wayne County
Auditor issued a tax sale certificate to the Executive, which afforded it the same
rights as a purchaser; and further, the Executive is permitted to assign the tax sale
certificate to an assignee who acquires the same rights and obligations of the
original holder; and
WHEREAS, the County Executive did assign the tax sale certificate to the City of Richmond,
which then undertook the necessary statutory requirements relative to the
transmission of notices; and subsequent to the period of redemption, petitioned the
Wayne County, Indiana Superior Court 2 for a tax deed; and
