PERTH AMBOY – On the front cover of the June 26th issue of the Amboy Guardian Businessman and Realtor David Caba related a story of how one family he represented had to pay over $8000 to prove they were the rightful owners of a property they bought. Another family had purchased a “deed” to the same property for $10 which was sold to them by an unscrupulous party.

Businessman Greg Fehrenbach said, “The Police and Code Enforcement could not determine who owned the property. Public Works, Code Enforcement, the Council and the Police had no authority over this matter. It took a judge to settle the matter.”

At the July 10th meeting Pabon told Caba that what he said was “An Eye and Ear Opener.”

Caba clarified some of the remarks said at a previous Council Meeting. Caba started out by telling City Attorney Mark Blunda how much he respected him and that he is a good attorney and very professional. Caba said his client had no problem claiming the property. The City issued them the deed. The City Inspector told the people who were already on the property, “You are the owners.”

Pabon said, “Let’s work together to make this community better and to help educate people to be better informed.”
