Overview: During the recent Williston City Council meeting, a decision was made to reduce fines on a neglected property by 90%. This move sparked a broader discussion about the fairness and consistency of the city’s lien reduction process. The council unanimously voted to lower the accumulated fines from $11,350 to $500 for a property owned by Monty Seabrook, located on Northeast 2nd Avenue, after Seabrook had completed a cleanup of the property. The fines had initially accrued due to code violations, but Seabrook argued that he had incurred significant cleanup expenses and felt the fines were excessive given his efforts to comply.
