NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of me as Foreclosure Commissioner, notice is hereby given that on March 21, 2025 during the legal hours of sale, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described premises (“Property”) will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder:
LOTS NUMBER FIFTY-TWO (52) AND FIFTY-THREE (53) OF LARRYDALE SUBDIVISION TO GLENCOE, ALABAMA, PLUS SUCH PORTION OF LOT SIXTY (60) OF SAID LARRYDALE SUBDIVISION AS IS DESCRIBED BY COMMENCING AT A POINT WHERE THE WESTERLY LINE OF SAID LOT SIXTY (60) INTERSECTS THE SOUTHERLY LINE OF LOT FIFTY-THREE (53), AND FROM THENCE CONTINUE IN AN EASTERLY DIRECTION ALONG THE EXTENSION OR PRODUCTION OF THE SAID SOUTHERLY LINE OF LOT FIFTY-THREE (53) 160 FEET TO A POINT IN THE EASTERLY LINE OF LOT SIXTY (60), THENCE IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION ALONG THE EASTERLY LINE OF LOT SIXTY (60) 293.39 FEET TO A POINT WHERE SAID EASTERLY LINE OF LOT SIXTY (60) INTERSECTS THE EXTENSION OR PRODUCTION OF THE NORTHERLY LINE OF LOT FIFTY-TWO (52), THENCE IN A WESTERLY DIRECTION ALONG SAID EXTENSION OR PRODUCTION OF THE NORTHERLY LINE OF LOT FIFTY-TWO (52) 123 FEET TO A POINT WHERE SAID LINE INTERSECTS THE WESTERLY LINE OF LOT SIXTY (60) THENCE SOUTHERLY ALONG THE SAID WESTERLY LINE OF LOT SIXTY (60) 200 FEET TO THE POINT OF BEGINNING; ALL OF SAID LOTS AND PORTION OF LOT BEING IN THE LARRYDALE SUBDIVISION TO GLENCOE, ALABAMA, AS SHOWN BY THE MAP OR PLAT THEREOF RECORDED IN PLAT BOOK “F”, PAGE 323 IN THE PROBATE OFFICE, ETOWAH COUNTY, ALABAMA
Commonly known as: 1118 Larrydale Dr, Gadsen, AL 35905
This sale will take place at the Etowah County Courthouse. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development estimated bid will be $163,690.39.
There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale.
When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $16,369.04 (10% of the Secretary’s bid) in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $16,369.04 must be presented before the bidding is closed. THE DEPOSIT IS NONREFUNDABLE. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. If the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them.
The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due.
If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder.
There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant.
The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application of the mortgagor to the Foreclosure Commissioner not less than 3 days before the date of sale, or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this notice of default and foreclosure sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary of HUD, before public auction of the property is completed.
The amount that must be paid if the mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is based upon the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale or the breach must be otherwise cured. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE AND ANY OUTSTANDING FEES, COSTS, AND INTEREST WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS.
Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

NOTICE UNDER SECTION 94.01 OF THECONSTITUTION OF ALABAMA (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS AMENDMENT 772) FOR EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC FUNDS AND PUBLIC
PROPERTYBY THE CITY OF RAINBOW CITY, ALABAMA
The City of Rainbow City, Alabama (the “City”), located in Etowah County, Alabama, is
considering the financing of: (a) the acquisition, installation and equipping of new improvements at its recreational facilities known as the Vivian Lee Maddox Sports Complex located at 4573Rainbow Drive, Rainbow City, Alabama, specifically including artificial turf installation and lighting improvements; and/or (b) the acquisition, installation and construction of water works and sewer utility improvements to increase capacity and distribution lines to the City’s industrial park located at Lumley Road (commonly known as “Commerce Park”) with said utility improvements expected to be owned by The Utilities Board of the Rainbow City; and/or (c) other capital improvements which the City deems advisable, all of which will be owned and operated by the City (except for the water and sewer utility improvements which are expected to be owned and operated by The Utilities Board of the City of Rainbow City) and located within the City. The foregoing improvements (as described above) are hereafter collectively referred to as the “Project.”
The City proposes to issue its general obligation warrant(s) or other form of indebtedness
in a principal amount not to exceed $7,750,000 (the “Warrants”) (with the understanding that the final principal amount is expected to be less than said amount), in one or more series of warrants, to finance the costs of acquiring, improving and equipping the Project, and/or refinancing temporary indebtedness incurred by the City for the Project, and the payment of issuance expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of said Warrants.
The proposed expenditure of public funds and proposed contemplated transfer of City
funds for the properties constituting the Project will provide public benefits to the City by virtue
of being able to enhance the economic growth of the City, specifically including the prospect of
eventually improving and creating additional recreational parks and offerings within the
municipal limits of the City which not only enhances the quality of life for existing residents of
the City but also attracts visitors and future residents to the City which generates sales taxes and other forms of tax revenue for the City. The proposed expenditure of public funds and proposed contemplated transfer of City funds to finance utility improvements will provide public benefits to the City by having adequate infrastructure to recruit industry and future industrial employers to the City. While it is expected that the City will own and operate the Project (except for the utility improvements which are expected to be owned by The Utilities Board of the City of Rainbow City) and no private parties will have longterm lease interests or management rights over the Project, the proposed expenditure of funds and the issuance of the Warrants may be deemed to benefit any future users of the Project (including without limitation any per-sons, for profit entities, or governmental or municipal users which utilize the Project including any use by private parties on a temporary basis and/or private vendors which have improvements on a deminimis area of said property constituting the Project like vending machines).
The governing body of Rainbow City, Alabama, will consider the authorization of
issuance of the Warrants to finance the Project, and the proposed expenditure of public funds, for 124048605.1 use for the foregoing purposes (which may include temporary use by private persons, forprofit entities, other government or municipal users) and any other or future users of said Project including entities located at the City’s industrial park whose identities are currently not available, at its regular public meeting on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. at Rainbow City Hall located at 3700 Rainbow Drive, Rainbow City, Alabama. The public is invited to attend said meeting of the governing body of Rainbow City, Alabama to express their views orally or in writing.
The City of Rainbow City is committed to making meetings accessible to all. If you need
accommodation, please contact Beth Lee, City Clerk, at 256.413.1217 at least 48 hours before
the meeting.
