improvements at 11 cents per square foot for this parcel, which is higher than some much larger
parcels; and
WHEREAS, Lot 155 has an assessed value of $100.00 and Snohomish County does not
assess property taxes when a parcel has such a low value; and
WHEREAS, given the character of the parcel and the level of special benefit assessed to
the parcel, the owner may have a claim; and
WHEREAS, the owner of Lot 155 is listed as Monica Baker; and

extinguish any potential claims that might arise from foreclosing on the parcel; and

guaranty fund to fulfill the City's obligation to the bondholders and to avoid any potential cla ims
against the City that might arise in a foreclosure action.
