Based on the information below, any mortgage company that has foreclosed on or owns property that fails to maintain such property consistent with the local code(s) is in violation and should be reported to the applicable Code Enforcement Board: Georgia
law specifically recognizes the rights of Code Enforcement Boards to enforce
county (unincorporated Fulton County) or municipal codes and ordinanaces
(City of Atlanta). Although the law does not specifically define who may be held responsible for such violations, FCC 22-27 defines "violators" as "any person, firm, partnership or corporation, tenant agent or other entity which has committed a violation of one or more provisions of the Code of Laws or which has assisted in the commission of such violation." _________________________________________________________ |

TAD Ruling Reversed_[
Supreme
Court Ruling] Dear BeltLine TADAC Members: We just learned that the Georgia Supreme Court has reversed the Fulton County Superior Court’s January 2007 ruling validating the BeltLine TAD bonds. In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court specifically held that funding plans like the BeltLine’s violate the Educational Purpose Clause of the State constitution - in effect preventing the inclusion of school district tax increment for these types of projects. We are disappointed in this ruling, but we remain focused on the BeltLine vision. And we will continue working without interruption with our staffs and public and private partners toward its fulfillment using alternative funding sources - as we have for the last 16 months. Our work over that time has built important momentum and revealed the broad political, civic and business will behind the BeltLine - not as merely an amenity for Atlanta but, rather, as an integrated solution to some of the City’s and region’s most pressing needs. Neither those needs nor that will is diminished by this legal decision. The BeltLine Team now faces questions about precisely how the BeltLine will proceed - considering, as we will in the coming days and weeks ahead, our legal, political and financial options. Meanwhile, communities with pending TAD programs across the State will undoubtedly be evaluating how they will implement their priority projects, as well. Please feel free to contact Roland Young or Rukiya Eaddy if you have questions, or would like to arrange a fuller briefing in the meantime. We expect that this important ruling will attract extensive media coverage, starting this morning. As stewards of the BeltLine vision and support, we will update you again soon. Sincerely, |
