Subject: 40 NW 14 Avenue, Dania Beach, FL
Mr. Trailor-
My September 3rd email to you on this omitted my contact information. Here is the revised email.
I represent the City of Dania Beach regarding a city CRA property located at 40 NW 14th Ave, Dania Beach (subject
property). The City is assisting in the property transfer to a qualified affordable housing purchaser and has been notified
by the title agent of a potential encumbrance referenced in the title commitment.
You represented G. Proulx LLC in a mechanics lien foreclosure action against the subject property, referenced G. Proulx
v. Delancey, filed in Broward Circuit Court, Case No. 05-5717 CACE 25. A Default Final Judgment of Foreclosure was
entered in the case on October 6, 2005, and recorded October 12, 2005 in OR Book 40713, Page 13, Broward County
Records. The Final Judgment was superceded by an Order (stipulation agreement) entered May 8, 2006, and recorded
May 19, 2006 in OR Book 42054, Page 314 Broward County Records. A copy of the Final Judgment, the May 8, 2006
Order and the court docket are attached.
The Final Judgment of Foreclosure set a foreclosure sale date on November 9, 2005, and by subsequent Order, the
foreclosure sale was cancelled. One of the Defendants in the action, Carl Butler, filed a Motion to Vacate Final Judgment
and the parties ultimately reached a settlement agreement. There is no further pleading or court activity in the case
after the parties settlement agreement which is incorporated into the Court’s May 8, 2006 Order.
For various reasons, the Final Judgment of Foreclosure is not a valid or enforceable lien against the subject property.
First, a certified copy of the October 6, 2005 Final Judgment was never recorded, and the Final Judgment recorded on
October 12, 2005 was not rerecorded. The Final Judgment terminated as a lien against the subject property on October
12, 2015. See Florida Statutes Section 55.10(1).
In addition, the October 6, 2005 Final Judgment is not an enforceable lien since the May 8, 2006 Order clearly
superceded and amended the Final Judgment. The May 8, 2006 Order established a payment schedule for Defendants to
satisfy the debt and directed the Plaintiff to notify the court if the Defendants defaulted on payment. As stated in
paragraph four of the Order, the balance due Plaintiff on May 8, 2006 was $4,657.58. The Defendants’ payment
schedule as stated in the Order directed Defendants make monthly payments to Plaintiff, with the final payment due by
October 1, 2006. If Defendants breached the payment terms, the Plaintiff was required to notify the court by filing
appropriate motions for entry of a Final Judgment and a foreclosure sale date. As noted, the court docket confirms no
pleadings or other action was taken by G. Proulx in this case after the May 8, 2006 Order.
The Plaintiff’s failure to take any action in the subsequent to the May 8, 2006 Order indicates Defendants paid the
outstanding debt to Plaintiff and thereby complied with the court Order. If the Defendants did default on payment to
Plaintiff, the Plaintiff was required by court Order to give notice to the court and request a Final Judgment of
Foreclosure. The Plaintiff’s right to seek a Final Judgment, as outlined in the May 8, 2006 Order, was never pursued
through any judicial action. The Plaintiff’s right to a lien against the subject property terminated no later than May 8,
2011. See Florida Statutes Section 95.281(1)(a).
The City offers your client $1,000 in settlement of this matter. To accept this settlement offer, please have your client
execute and deliver to my office within 10 days, a Satisfaction of Final Judgment and Release of Lis Pendens.
Please contact my office with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your prompt reply.
