Background/Summary: 
A motion was made at the September 21, 2016 regular city council meeting releasing all liens on homesteaded property in the City of Riviera Beach and that a 2-year moratorium be put in place before activating any additional code enforcement liens.  It did not get a second.  Ultimately, another motion was made effecting homesteaded property in the City of Riviera Beach releasing all the fines and liens on the City of Riviera Beach residents homesteaded property.  It was seconded and passed with a 3 to 2 vote.  What is being disputed is whether the moratorium and the 3% maximum lien amount was part of that vote.
