Ilima Young purchased the 5(h) property at 2504 Mann Avenue in Des Moines on December 30, 2003.  She has decided to sell the property.  Ms. Young has been a successful homeowner thus far of the Municipal Housing Agency’s 5(h) Affordable Homeownership Program and is requesting to pay off her Second Mortgage in order to sell her property.  Currently, Ms. Young has a seven-year forgivable Second Mortgage in the amount of $37,620 with the Des Moines Municipal Housing Agency.  However, since Ms. Young has only lived in the home for five years, program requirements are such that Ms. Young must pay 2/7 of her Second Mortgage in the amount of $10,748.55.  The City Legal Department has prepared a Release and Satisfaction of the Second Mortgage, and staff is requesting authorization to execute and record the document.
