[CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:05]
WELL, IT'S CALLED THE ORDER OF THE CODE ENFORCEMENT SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARING, FEBRUARY 16, 2022, IT'S 103 P.M.
I'M THE PERSON WHO'S BEEN RETAINED BY THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO CONSIDER APPLICATIONS FOR REDUCTION IN CODE ENFORCEMENT LINES.
THE GENERAL PROCEDURE IS THAT THE CLERK WILL SWEAR ANYONE IN WHO'S GOING TO TESTIFY AND THEN EACH PERSON WHO'S GOING TO PRESENT THE CASE WILL PRESENT THEIR EVIDENCE AND THEN THE CITY WILL PRESENT THEIR SIDE, AND THEN THE APPLICANT HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO WHATEVER EVIDENCE THE CITY PUTS ON.
CAN YOU PLEASE STAND AND RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND?
[SWEARING IN]
YOU SWEAR TO TELL THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, SO HELP YOU, GOD.WE HAVE TWO ITEMS ON THE AGENDA, ITEM NUMBER TWO AND ITEM NUMBER FOUR THAT HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM THE AGENDA.
LET'S SEE. B. ONE NINE ZERO ZERO NINE DASH ONE EIGHT FIVE SEVENTY BLUEFIELD STREET SOUTHEAST AND CB TWO ZERO SEVEN SIX SEVEN TWO ZERO AND 11 70 MILE OF OUR ROAD SOUTHEAST.
AND OUR FIRST CASE TO BE HEARD IS ITEM NUMBER THREE ON THE AGENDA CB ONE NINE SEVEN ZERO
[PETITION FOR RELIEF (Part 1 of 2)]
SIX EIGHT ONE NINE AT SIX SEVENTY THREE ESTRELLAS STREET NORTHWEST.PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD AND YOUR ADDRESS.
CAN YOU SAY THAT AGAIN? PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND YOUR ADDRESS.
IT'S KAREEM DELGADO AND IT'S SIX SEVEN THREE STAR STREET, NORTHWEST PALM BAY, FLORIDA.
WE'LL ASK THIS QUESTION AND THEN YOU CAN SEE IT AFTER THAT.
ACCORDING TO THE PAPERWORK THAT I HAVE, THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY IS.
OKAY. YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT? YEAH, THAT'S OK. HE'S MY MOM.
YOU CAN SEE. WE RECEIVED THE CODE OF COMPLIANCE PAPERWORK SOMETIME IN 2019, WHEN HER MOTHER HAPPENED IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
WE WERE GOING INTO THE PROCESS OF GOING INTO THE FLORIDA REBUILD PROGRAM, BUT THE PERIOD TO ACTUALLY BE APPROVED WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS, SO HER CHURCH OFFERED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES OUTSIDE OF THE HOME.
WE DID WAIT FOR THOSE CHANGES, BUT THEY NEVER WERE ABLE TO DO IT.
SO THEN WHEN WE RECEIVED THE NEXT LETTER, WE WILL.
SHE CAME BACK AND ADVISED THAT WE WERE STILL UNDER THE PERIOD TO BE APPROVED BY FLORIDA REBUILD, AND THEN WE STILL RECEIVED THE LETTER.
SO ONE DAY I CALLED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT UNFORTUNATELY THEY COULDN'T STOP THE LINE FROM CONTINUING. IT WOULD HAVE TO PASS INSPECTION FIRST.
SO I DID LET FLORIDA REBUILD KNOW.
THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS A SHORTAGE IN LUMBER AND BECAUSE OF THAT, IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR THE WHOLE PROCESS.
SO FROM TWENTY SEVENTEEN UP UNTIL THIS PAST YEAR IN NOVEMBER, TWENTY TWENTY ONE IS WHEN THEY FINISHED THE PROJECT AND THEN ON LINE TWENTY ONE OF OUR CONTRACT, IT SAYS THAT WE COULDN'T MAKE ANY TYPE OF CHANGES TO THE PROPERTY, EVEN IF IT WAS CONSTRUCTED LIKE THE CONSTRUCTION ITSELF, BECAUSE IT WOULD VIOLATE THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT AND WE WOULD BE DISQUALIFIED. COPY THAT I DO.
YEAH, SO DURING THE TIME BETWEEN 20 AND 19, UP UNTIL WHEN THE HOUSE PASSED INSPECTION, I DID CALL THE CITY OF PALM BAY AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH TO LET THEM KNOW.
AND I DID CALL FLORIDA REBUILD TO ASK THEM IF THEY COULD AT LEAST FIX WHAT WAS ON THE OUTSIDE FIRST INSTEAD OF THE INSIDE, SO THAT WE COULD PASS INSPECTION ON THEIR END.
THEY WOULD SAY THAT THEY COULDN'T, THAT THEY HAD TO DO THE SCOPE OF WORK IN THE ORDER THAT IT CAME IN, AND I DID SPEAK WITH THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND THE CASEWORKER FOR IT.
AND THEN I, OF COURSE, LET THE CITY OF PALM BAY KNOW.
BUT THEY ADVISED THE SAME THING.
THEY COULDN'T STOP THE LEON FROM HAPPENING UNTIL THE HOUSE PASSED INSPECTION.
[00:05:06]
WE ARE TODAY. RIGHT NOW, YOU SAY THAT AGAIN, YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER RIGHT NOW.THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION IN REDUCTION OF THE LIEN WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE ARE COLLECTED SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY, AND THE CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR SIX PERCENT OF THE TOTAL LEAN TO BE PAID FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY OR SORRY, SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN POINT NINE.
THIRTY SEVEN. THE INFORMATION MR. NAGATO INDICATED THAT SHE WAS IN CONTACT WITH THE CITY PRETTY MUCH DURING THIS WHOLE PROCESS, RECALL THAT THIS CASE WAS FROM ANOTHER PREVIOUS OFFICER THAT'S NO LONGER WITH US.
IT'S JUST. YES, THE PEELING OF THE EXTERIOR PAINT IS THAT.
MUCH WHAT IT WAS. YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO THE CITY? YES. SO HOW WOULD I BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF APPEALING THAT BECAUSE I WAS TOLD ON? THAT'S WHAT THIS IS.
YOU'RE. I'M JUST ASKING YOU, DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSE TO THE CITY'S EVIDENCE OR TESTIMONY FROM MR. SOTO? OKAY.
YES. FOR THE ISSUES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE, LIKE THE EXTERIOR PAINT, THE MILDEW AND I THINK THE DRIVEWAY, I DID TRY TO GO OUT OF MY WAY TO DO IT MYSELF OUT OF POCKET.
BUT WHEN I CALLED MY CASEWORKER FOR REBUILD FLORIDA, THEY SAID NO THAT I WOULD BE DISQUALIFIED. SO I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING LIKE I HAD NO OPTION TO CHANGE THAT.
AND THAT'S WHY I STAYED IN CONTACT WITH THEM AND WITH YOU GUYS.
AND MY MOM ALSO REACHED OUT AND SHE WOULD COME TO SOME OF THE HEARINGS AS WELL WHEN SHE FIRST RECEIVED THE LETTER.
LIKE YOU PREVIOUSLY, I SAY SOMETHING.
AND HE PREVIOUSLY SAID YOU DID TALK TO THE OTHER OFFICER AND THERE WAS NOTHING WE REALLY COULD DO, SO WE HAD TO STILL DO OUR INSPECTIONS EVERY TIME, AN INSPECTION STILL IN VIOLATION. SO SHE WILL ADD SOME STILL IN VIOLATION AND I WILL ALSO.
SO WHEN I HAVE A CONTRACT AND IT'S ON PAPER AND THE NEED TO ADDRESS IT.
OK. WHAT'S THE BASIS, WHAT'S THE CITY'S BASIS FOR THE SIX? PERCENT ARE GOING TO BE.
ON THE TOTAL, AGAIN, WHAT IS THE WHAT'S THE REASON THEIR CITY IS ASKING FOR SIX? THAT'S WHAT IS IT. AND IT'S.
ANYTHING FURTHER? FROM THE PROCESS STANDPOINT, I'M GOING TO ENTER AN ORDER SAYING THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS, WHICH IS $750.
SOMETHING THE EXTRA MONEY THAT THE CITY IS ASKING FOR IN LIGHT OF THE TESTIMONY THAT.
BASED THE PETITION AND THE CODE ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDING, THE RESPONDENT BASICALLY HAD THEIR HANDS TIED AND COULDN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING.
AND THEN THE OTHER ISSUE IS IS THE NATURE OF THE VIOLATION IS JUST EXTERIOR PAINT, SO TO SPEAK. OH, I'M INCLINED TO GRANT THAT.
NO EVIDENCE TO SUGGEST OTHER THAN WHAT MR. DELGADO TESTIFIED ABOUT HER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE CITY.
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO IS I'M GOING TO REDUCE THE FINE TO $750.
NOT SURE THEY COULD HAVE DONE MUCH MORE THAN WHAT THEY DID IN LIGHT OF THE FACT THEY WERE TRYING TO APPARENTLY AT SOME PROGRAM WITH THE STATE.
WASN'T TOO SWIFT GETTING IT ACCOMPLISHED? NORMALLY, FINES ARE PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS, DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM PAYING THE $750 AND 30
[00:10:03]
DAYS? NO. SO THERE WILL BE AN ORDER ENTERED REDUCING THE FINE.$750 AND YOU HAVE TO PAY IT WITHIN 30 DAYS IF IT'S NOT PAID IN 30 DAYS AND THE FINES REINSTATED. OK, WELL.
THEN A THIRD OF THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY.
WILL THERE BE AN ORDER ENTERED IN THE CITY? OK. THANK YOU.
ONE SEVEN FIVE NINE SEVEN ONE SIX.
IT'S SIXTEEN SIXTY SIX ONE EIGHT A STREET SOUTHEAST AND THE PETITIONER IS NOT PRESENT.
WAIT, A COUPLE OF MINUTES, IF HE DOESN'T SHOW UP, THEN I'LL ENTER AN ORDER ANYWAY THE NEXT MONTH. I INCLUDE IN THERE THE.
IN THE INTERIM, I ACCEPTED THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING.
[ADOPTION OF MINUTES]
AS I LEFT THE.HOWEVER, THAT DOCUMENT, SO I HAD TO COME BACK AT.
[PETITION FOR RELIEF (Part 2 of 2)]
I'M THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE APPOINTED BY THE CITY OF PALM BAY TO CONSIDER APPLICATIONS FOR REDUCTION IN CODE ENFORCEMENT.PERSON WITH KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ACE IS THE ONE THAT PRESENTS THE CASE, YOU HAVE ANY PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS CASE, YES.
AND HOW DO YOU HAVE PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE? I KNOW THAT THE GUY AND OFTEN WHEN WHEN HE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LINE, I'M THE ONE WHO GO THERE OR SEND SOMEBODY THERE TAKING CARE OF THE ISSUE FOR HIM, WHICH, AS I RECALL, HE HAD ONE. I THINK WE HAVE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
OH, I THINK THE GRASS WAS NEED TO BE CUT.
BUT THE SAGA, SO I'M THE ONE WHO DIDN'T COVER FOR HIM, AND I'M ALSO THE ONE WHO PAID THE TAXES FOR HIM EVERY YEAR, SO I'M.
THIS ISSUE, HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT AS WELL AS ME, I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT, SO.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. HOW CAN YOU TESTIFY THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT? BECAUSE NOT ONLY HE TOLD ME, NO, AND THAT'S HIM TELLING YOU, YES.
MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT IT? BECAUSE. EVERY TIME HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE LINE, HE CALLED ME WHEN.
LET ME, LET ME, LET ME, LET ME LIMIT HOW YOU CAN TALK TO ME.
BUT YOU CAN RELATE TO ME AS, I GUESS A BETTER WORD.
YOU CAN'T TESTIFY ABOUT MR. S THOUGHTS.
YES, YOU CAN ONLY TESTIFY ABOUT WHAT YOU PERSONALLY KNOW.
SO WHAT HE THINKS OR WHATEVER YOU CAN'T REALLY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT.
OK. ALL I CAN GET FROM YOU BECAUSE HE'S NOT HERE.
THAT'S WHAT THEY CALL HEARSAY.
YES, THAT'S NOT REALLY EVIDENCE.
BUT THERE'S A GENERAL PREMISE.
IT'S NOT ALL COMPETENT EVIDENCE.
SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU KNOW THAT WILL SUPPORT.
[00:15:05]
HIS APPLICATION.WHAT I KNOW ABOUT APPLICATION IS THAT.
A. A TRAILER THAT ON THE PROPERTY, IT'S BELONGED TO THE NEIGHBOR, WHICH IS PROBABLY THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD I CALL THE CITY THE PROTOCOL ENFORCEMENT BECAUSE THEY CALL FOR A LITTLE GRASS TO BE CUT ON THE PROPERTIES ABOUT SIX FEET FROM THE YARD, NOT EVEN FROM THEIR PROPERTY, FROM THE YARD.
SO THE CALL ABOUT THAT, SO AND THEN THEY THE TRAILER DOES THE SAME THING.
HE TOLD ME HE'D DO SOME RESEARCH ABOUT WEATHER BECAUSE THIS IS A WHO'S HE CALLED MR. MAXEY ONLY THE VACANT LAND AS WHAT HAPPENED IS HE USES THE THE MERRY GO TO HIS MOTHER ADDRESS, WHICH IS I LIVE IN BOYNTON BEACH.
SOMEHOW, THE MOTHER MOTHER COUNTRY, BUT SOMEBODY RELATED TO HIM STILL LIVING THERE.
BUT HE NEVER GOT THE MAIL THAT ABOUT THAT MATTER BECAUSE THE LAST TIME HE WAS THE LAST LETTER HE RECEIVED, CALL ME.
HE TOLD ME THAT AND I WENT THERE AND THEN SEND SOMEBODY CUT THE THING FOR HIM.
AND THEN A MATTER OF FACT, THE OTHER BIT, WE JUST IT JUST PAY A BILL ABOUT OVER $2000, WHICH YOU DIDN'T EVEN KNOW UNTIL WHEN HE'S ABOUT TO CALL, WHEN HE WAS TO SELL THE PROPERTY, WHEN WHEN DID WHEN DID YOU CUT THE PROPERTY? WELL, I DON'T REMEMBER, BUT IT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
YOU HAVE THE GRASP, IT WASN'T THAT HE DIDN'T, WE DIDN'T.
WHEN I WENT IN THERE, I DIDN'T SEE ANY TRAILER.
NOTHING THERE THEN, BECAUSE THIS IS PROBABLY WAY BACK THEN.
BUT WHEN WAY BACK THEN, I WOULD SAY MAYBE FOUR YEARS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE HE NEVER HE.
HE NEVER RECEIVED ANY ANY LETTER FROM FOR THAT ISSUE, WHICH IS PROBABLY WHETHER I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S GOING TO HIS MOTHER, HER ADDRESS AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HIM.
IT WENT WELL. HERE'S HERE'S WHAT THE ISSUE IS.
IT WENT TO ONE ONE TWO FIVE WALDEN BOULEVARD, SOUTHEAST AND PALM BAY.
THAT'S HIS MOM. WELL, THE PROBLEM IS.
FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE IS WHETHER IT'S THE CITY OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY IT DOESN'T HAVE. NOT JUST THE CITY OF PALM BAY, BUT ANY ANY LOCAL GOVERNMENT THAT HAS CODE ENFORCEMENT, THEY'RE ONLY OBLIGATED TO LOOK TO THE YES PROPERTY APPRAISER AND THE TAX COLLECTOR. YES, AND USE THAT ADDRESS.
SO YES, IF MR. MAXEY DIDN'T GET THE NOTICE, THAT'S KIND OF ON HIM JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT? RIGHT, RIGHT? ALL RIGHT.
SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, THAT'S HIS ISSUE, NOT THE CITY'S ISSUE.
HE HAS TO KEEP. HE HAS TO KEEP AND MAINTAIN AN ADDRESS SO PEOPLE CAN GET HOLD OF THEM.
YEAH. FROM FROM WHAT I KNOW AND WHAT HIS PLAN TO ME IS, BOTH PARTIES ACT OF HATE FROM THE PUT THE TRIAL THAT THEY REPORTED AND ON THERE.
I DON'T I DON'T CARE ABOUT. YEAH, YES.
AND THE PERSON LIVE IN THE HOUSE I KNOW IS RELATED TO HIM, BUT SOMEHOW HE NEVER HAVE ANY MAIL FROM THEM BECAUSE HE DOESN'T LIVE THERE ANYMORE.
EVEN WORSE, I UNDERSTAND, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT YOU CAN GO ON TO SOMETHING ELSE.
RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY RIGHT TO OBJECT BECAUSE THAT'S HIS FAULT, THAT HE DIDN'T MAINTAIN AN ADDRESS WHERE SOMEBODY CAN GET HOLD OF THEM.
RIGHT. IT'S HIS OBLIGATION TO KEEP A CURRENT ADVOCATE WITH THE PROPERTY APPRAISER AND THE TAX COLLECTOR. YEAH, THERE IS.
WELL, THE REASON I'M SAYING THAT BECAUSE HE'S A YOUNG MAN.
SO A LOT OF PEOPLE ORIGINALLY FROM HAITI, HE DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT, OH, THE ONLY THING HE KNOW ABOUT IT, I GOT TO PAY MY TAXES.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? WE'RE PAST THAT.
THAT'S WHY HE WANTED TO KNOW THAT.
RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. RIGHT, RIGHT.
BUT FROM WHAT I THOUGHT, SO WHEN I TALK TO HIM.
HOLD ON. BECAUSE APPARENTLY HE STILL HAS THE WALDEN AND ADDRESSES HIS AD MAILING ADDRESS.
YEAH. A TANGENT. BUT WHEN I TALKED TO HIM THAT A HE SAID HE'D NEVER RECEIVED THAT ONE.
THE LETTER THAT THAT'S WHY I UNDERSTAND, WELL, HE'S NOT BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE HIS ADDRESS. YES. SO AND THEN THE ONE THAT GOT THE ADDRESS THAT GAVE IT TO HIM AND THEN THAT'S WHY HE CALLED ME TO PAY ALL OF IT.
AND THE ONE THAT HE HE JUST PAID A BILL, I THINK IS ABOUT $2500, SOMETHING YOU JUST PAID FOR SOMETHING ELSE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT THIS ONE, HE SAID HE NEVER RECEIVED ANY, ANY THAT LETTER. YEAH, THAT'S NOT THE POINT ANYMORE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT'S THAT'S ON HIM.
HE DIDN'T GET IT. SO THAT'S NOT AN ISSUE WITH ME.
YOU KNOW, THE FACT HE DIDN'T DO WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO DO.
NOT. NECESSARILY A BASIS TO DO SOMETHING.
I AGREE. AND OTHER ISSUES IN THIS CASE, BUT THAT ONE, YOU NEED TO MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE THAT'S WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THAT.
SO. SO I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE BASIS FOR.
YOU KNOW WHY THE FINES SHOULD BE REDUCED? WELL, NUMBER ONE, HE CANNOT PAY THAT FINE, BECAUSE THE THE MATTER OF FACT, YEAH, 2BABA,
[00:20:05]
WHICH IS ME AND MYSELF, I DIDN'T KNOW WELL THAT LONG YOU GOT LYNN ON YOUR PROPERTY IS COVERED, ALL PROPERTY OWNED IN A COUNTY.I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE.
BUT HE'S HE CANNOT HAVE HAY BECAUSE THE LAND NOT EVEN WORTH THAT MUCH MONEY, I THINK IS ABOUT $50000.
IT IS. IT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, IT DOESN'T WORK THAT MUCH MONEY UNLESS IT DECIDES TO SAID ABOUT THE CITY CAN TAKE IT.
THAT'S THE CHOICE THAT HE CAN MAKE.
HUH? IT WAS WHEN WAS THE PROPERTY BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE? NO, NO.
IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, THE PRIMARY BASIS FOR.
LAST OR AT LEAST THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO TESTIFY TO AS FAR AS A REQUEST FOR THE REDUCTION IS.
SO THE AMOUNT OF THE LEAN VERSUS THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY AND THE FACT HE DIDN'T GET NOTICED AS THE MAIN, THE MAIN REASONS WHY THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE TESTIFYING IS THE MAIN REASONS WHY MR. MAXEY WANTS IT REDUCED.
YES. AND WHAT'S THE CITY'S POSITION? PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF, BILL CLINTON AND CO.
COMPLIANCE OFFICER WITH CITY OF PALM BAY.
THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION IN REDUCTION OF THIS LEAN, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT ADMINISTRATIVE FEES, WHICH ARE $750, ARE COLLECTED AND THE CITY IS ALSO ASKING FOR 10 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL LING TO BE PAID, WHICH IS FIVE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY NINE DOLLARS AND TWENTY SEVEN CENTS.
YOU HAVE ANY THING IN RESPONSE TO THE CITY'S POSITION.
WELL, YEAH, I UNDERSTAND THE SAME POSITION, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, A LOT OF THIS GUY'S A YOUNG MAN AND HE DIDN'T DO THAT ON PURPOSE.
HE CORRECTED IT. AND I'M PRETTY SURE IF I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, AGAIN, THAT'S NOT BEFORE ME.
YOU'RE ASSUMING THAT YOU SAID YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN IT CAME INTO COMPLIANCE.
I DON'T HAVE NO IDEA WHEN IT CAME INTO COMPLIANCE AFTER HE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DIDN'T BRING THAT. YOU JUST FOUND OUT LAST MONTH WHEN WHEN HE TRIED TO SELL ONE OF THE PROPERTY, IF I KNOW, OKAY.
EVEN THAT I THINK $500 HE PAID, HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT EITHER.
OK. THEY JUST TELL HIM HE HAD TO PAY IT AND HE GOES AND PAID IT.
OH, HE DIDN'T HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT ANY ANY.
WHEN IN AN ORDER REDUCING THE FINE, I'M GOING TO GRANT THE CITY THE $750.
I'M NOT GOING TO GRANT THE FULL 10 PERCENT.
ADD THOSE TWO TOGETHER, IT'S ALMOST THE FULL VALUE OF THE LOT.
THERE'S. CONSTITUTIONAL CASES THAT SAY YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
SO. WHAT I AM GOING TO DO IS I WILL ADD AN ENHANCEMENT OF $500.
SO I'M GOING TO REDUCE IT TO $250.
FINES HAVE TO BE PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS THAT SUFFICIENT TIME FOR MR MAXEY TO PAY.
YES. WELL, HE'S GOING TO HAVE 30 DAYS TO PAY IT.
REASON WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT IS BECAUSE IF HE DOESN'T PAY IT WITHIN 30 DAYS, THE CURRENT FINE IS REINSTATED.
GO. WHILE UNDER AN ORDER OF THAT EFFECT IN THE CITY, YOU'LL PROVIDE YOU A COPY OF THE ORDER OR ACTUALLY COPY THE ORDER.
THANK YOU, MR. LEWIS. GOOD DAY.
BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS, THE MEETING IS ADJOURNED AT 1:27.
