WHEREAS, it would also be contrary to the interests of the Village to enforce many of these tax liens; and WHEREAS, the continued presence of these uncollectible liens on the books and records of the Village indicates an unrealistic and unrealizable amount due the Village; and WHEREAS, the Village is authorized pursuant to RPTL §1138 to cancel tax liens that are uncollectible; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, the Village of Sleepy Hollow hereby cancels the delinquent tax liens against the tax parcels listed on the attached schedule as uncollectible, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that said liens shall be noted as "cancelled" in the records of the enforcing officer and removed from the receivables of the Village. The reduction in revenue for the Village of Sleepy Hollow due to this action is zero.
