City manager, Mark Durbin, and City Commissioner (and OSCAR Past President) Cheryl Grieb were in attendance at this week’s Tuesday morning OSCAR meetings at the association main room. Our Public Policy Committee coordinated a presentation from FPRC, the third party company which proposed a $200 Foreclosure Registration Ordinance. This ordinance was supposed to have had its second reading on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010.
The room was packed with concerned Realtors. In attendance were the top three Osceola REO Brokers/Agents Tim St. Gordon (Florida Realty Results), Linda Goodwin (Goodwin Realty) and Dorothy Buse (Coldwell Banker Ackley Realty). Most other Realtors in the room either list or sell REO properties.
The discussion was robust and resulted in a request for continuance on the issue. The Kissimmee City Commissioners voted on the continuance to further study the issue, with the help of Osceola Realtors. I was in attendance at that evening’s City Commissioners meeting in the Kissimmee City Hall with OSCAR’s Public Policy Committee, headed by Chair and President-Elect, Tim Weisheyer. I addressed Mayor Swan and the City Commissioners and thanked them for the opportunity for our Realtors to voice their concerns regarding this issue.
The City manager has requested an OSCAR Task Force to work with commissioners to further study this issue.

Thank you to all who attended. This is a great way to work together with our elected officials to help them understand the bigger picture.
