WHEREAS, the property at 116 Jessamine Avenue East, being described as: Ransom’s Addition to St. Paul Lots 4 & Lot 5 Blk 4, with the property identification number 30-29-22-12-0050 was assessed an amount of $624; and

RESOLVED, that the reduction of $624, plus any accrued interests, be deleted.  Council File No. RLH AR 24-116 is hereby amended to reflect this change.
