Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a two-year agreement <br />with Property Registration Champions LLC for the administration and collection of the City- <br />wide Foreclosure Program, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the City <br />Manager and City Attorney. <br />On October 3, 2017, the City Council adopted an ordinance for the registration of abandoned and <br />defaulted residential/commercial properties. Along with Council approval, authorization was <br />granted to solicit the services of qualified companies through a Request for Qualification (RFQ) <br />process to expedite the registration program. These companies specialize in helping cities <br />search for defaulted/foreclosed properties and contact financial institutes to advise them of the <br />foreclosure program and collection process. <br />Foreclosure Registration entities have immediate real estate foreclosure data and finance/bank <br />information that expedite this type of program. Conducting abatement enforcement on hard to <br />reach financial institutions has been a challenge for the Code Enforcement Division. A <br />partnership with a professional business that will receive a fee not to exceed of approximately <br />$100 for each registration fee collected will assist the City in establishing a successful program. <br />751-1 <br />
