Sec. 1. State Tax Assessor authorized to convey real estate. Resolved: That the State Tax Assessor is authorized to convey by sale the interest of the State in a parcel of real estate in the City of Auburn formerly owned by Robert W. Jones.

1. Notice of the sale must be published 3 times prior to the sale, once each week for 3 consecutive weeks, in a newspaper of general circulation in Androscoggin County.
2. The parcel may not be sold for less than the amount authorized in this resolve. If identical high bids are received, the bid postmarked with the earliest date is considered the highest bid.
Employees of the Department of Administrative and Financial Services, Bureau of Revenue Services and spouses, siblings, parents and children of employees of the Bureau of Revenue Services are barred from acquiring from the State the real property subject to this resolve.
Upon receipt of payment as specified in this resolve, the State Tax Assessor shall record a quitclaim deed in the appropriate registry at no additional charge to the purchaser before sending the deed to the purchaser.

Sec. 2. Description of parcel. Resolved: That the parcel in question is Map 219, Lot 175 in the City of Auburn, recorded in Book 946, Page 163 and located at 141 Fairview Avenue, approximately halfway between Court Street and Minot Avenue. It is the same parcel formerly owned by Robert W. Jones, who died on August 6, 2001, and identified in a Certificate of Mortgage Lien for Repayment of Taxes on Deferred Homestead Property recorded May 31, 2002 at Androscoggin County Registry of Deeds, Book 5008, Page 166; and be it further

The remediation cost is the cost incurred by the State of Maine to pay for the remediation of any hazard located at the property, including the remediation of any environmental hazard on the property and the maintenance, dismantling or demolition of any unsafe structure located on the property and any other costs associated with the disposal of the property. If Jeremy W. Jones does not pay $57,340.91 plus the remediation cost within 60 days after the effective date of this resolve, the State Tax Assessor is directed to sell the parcel as is to the highest bidder. The State Tax Assessor may reject any and all bids. Sale proceeds must be credited to the Senior Property Tax Deferral Revolving Account. The State Tax Assessor shall apply the proceeds first to taxes and accrued interest, then to the costs of sale and finally to defrayal of the remediation cost. Any residual amount must be paid to the heirs of Robert W. Jones.
Effective July 30, 2004, unless otherwise indicated.
