Ocean BY DOUG BUTTER During a 50-minute executive session Tuesday, Ocean Isle Beach Commissioners authorized their town attorney to file a lawsuit against seven property owners who have yet to pay sewer assessments. According to Town Clerk Alberta Tatum, six of those are residential property owners, facing assessments of $300 plus interest, and the other is a commercial property owner who still owes $1,300 of the original $5,368. The assessments were to be paid in 1984. Also during the secret session, t i * * -? tonurussioners authorized Town Attorney Elva Jess to settle a pending lawsuit concerning the condemnation of property for the town wastewater treatment plant. The lawsuit involves an 86-acre tract of land, which Ms. Jess said is owned by about 65 individuals. She said the matter was scheduled to go to trial next week, but added that the issue could probably be settled out of court in keeping with the desires of the town board.
