To understand better the meaning of the amendment, do research on use of “public work”; that wording is not limited to “ public property” or there would be no disjunctive “or”. A very early case used “public work” as private property of a railroad that would serve the public; that case did not deal with lien or bond, but it illustrates how general “public work” means in current version of statute. A more interesting issue is defining the remedy for non-compliance against the public body or the private party that failed to obtain bonds. In some past cases the commissioners or council members were liable to person or entity that by law had right to rely upon existence of the required bonds. Who was advising the public body; the private party. Does the license or lease have an indemnity clause in favor of public entity?

Under the Concession Agreement, the concessionaire/lessee actually owned the improvements subject to the City's reversionary interest at the conclusion of the lease. The concessionaire/lessee didn't pay the contractor and, in fact, sold its interest during construction. The contractor, our client, recorded a lien against the property, and both the concessionaire/lessee and the purchaser said the property was not lienable. We moved for and were granted summary judgment in our favor on that issue. Attached is the motion/brief, which is a matter of public record and may be helpful. Presumably much of the law has changed/evolved over the past 14 or so years.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Bryan Capps</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div style='margin-left:.5in'><div style='margin-left:.5in'><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><hr size=2 width="100%" align=center></span></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:1.0in'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:constructionlaw-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org">constructionlaw-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a> on behalf of Larry Leiby<br><b>Sent:</b> Thu 2/2/2012 3:44 PM<br><b>To:</b> RPPTL constructionlaw<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [RPPTL-constructionlaw] 713.10 lien for private leasehold onpublic land</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='color:#1F497D'>The answer is in the definitions in 713.01 (and if you are referring to 8:3 of my book, it is set out there). The statutory reason that you can’t lien publicly owned property is because a governmental owner is not within the definition of owner in 713.01. The definition of real property also excludes governmentally owned property. This is intended to keep governmentally owned property out of the lien law because a government must usually go through an election to subject public owned property to liens, e.g., financing bond issues. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='color:#1F497D'>An owner is also defined as one having an interest in the property and who enters into a contract for the improvement of the real property. Thus there is no reason that you cannot have a lien on a private leasehold interest that sits on public property. You want to be careful when you prepare the lien to only seek it against the leasehold. Also a lien on a leasehold is typically only as valuable as the tenant is collectable. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Go get em.</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><b><span style='font-family:"Arial Rounded MT Bold","sans-serif";color:#215868'>Larry R.
