The staff must then review <br />the appraisals before setting prices. <br />Ms. Auburn opened the Public Hearing on <br />Resolution No. 1193 for anyone who wished <br />to speak. <br />DOROTHY TAYLOR: 819 S. Kosciuszko <br />Street. The property that I now own at 202 <br />E. Ohio Street was owned by my brother, <br />but he died last year. I was wondering <br />whether you were aware of what had <br />happened four years ago. My brother and <br />some of his other neighbors received a letter <br />from Hallmark Realty. In that letter they <br />stated that they were commissioned to buy <br />up all this property in this general area, so <br />that a mall could be built by a developer <br />from Indianapolis. So the man came and <br />approached each of those people and my <br />brother was offered $27,600 for the <br />property. Of course, he was all for it. He <br />thought, fine, that's a nice amount. So he <br />purchased another home. He moved. In the <br />meantime he's waiting to get paid for his <br />house on Ohio Street. He signed an <br />agreement with this man from Hallmark <br />Realty. But he never got the money. He <br />died last year waiting to be paid. In the <br />meantime, the house was being broken into, <br />so he finally had to have it tom down. So, I <br />was wondering whether you had heard about <br />this. <br />EM <br />
