Randolph <br />Date: 3/6/02 3:45PM <br />Subject: Recording Grant Deeds <br />Your expert opinion is needed with the following: <br />322-324 W. Estudillo Avenue was purchased by the City in December 2001. We understand that John <br />Jermanis did everything associated with the acquisition. <br />I was asked to get a preliminary title report to begin working on the renovation of the building. At that <br />time, I learned that Fidelity National Title handled the transaction for the City. <br />I contacted Fidelity, and was informed that while the deed had been recorded, there was a problem with <br />it. Stan Kline of Fidelity told me that the deed had been recorded 12/31/01 without the Certificate of <br />Acceptance that usually accompanies our grant deeds. He told me that we should re-record the deed. <br />Here is the problem. No one has an original grant deed. I imagine it was submitted on 12/31/01 to <br />Alameda County. Nor has anyone record of receiving a copy back from Alameda County. Fidelity was <br />kind enough to send me a copy of the grant deed, with the recording stamp from Alameda County. <br />Debbie Dettmer noticed that there was nothing on the deed about the tax exempt status. <br />So, what do we do to: 1) Get this thing recorded properly, and 2) Make sure that we do not have to pay <br />taxes? <br />Please let me know if you'd like to see a copy of the grant deed - I will fax it over upon request. <br />Thanks for your help. <br />CC: Debbie Dettmer; Tara Peterson <br />
