Flaggler and the busway. Those lights stayed red heading east west for 30 minutes. They never changed and eventually HPD came out and apparently they had a key to the box and they were able to reset it. Um,
I don't know how you avoid those problems in the future, but I would think that those things could selfcheck and self-evaluate themselves as well that something's wrong right with that that that particular light uh at that
intersection. um the way the lights um when you approach the lights, I forgot the what the term was, but they're dimmer in the front and they change. That intersection at 312 and Flaggler has had I think more accidents
in that area because of that because you can't see what you're coming into. In other words, you're coming through that first light at first a and you're thinking that the light's going to be green, but it's red and the north south traffic is flowing and that's when you have a collision there. So, um, it's
gotten better over time, but I think I can agree with my colleague and may maybe others that those lights, I think, create more havoc than a safety thing because you are anticipating
a green behind the green. And a lot of cases at Flagger, we have first the busway in in Flagler a one's red, one's green, and one's red. And the one that's green is the one that is keeping everybody from going because the one to
the west of it is red. So there's some signalization or some synchronization there that is really not good there. And that that's a hard intersection because there's three lights. Bang bang bang. you know, 11th Street, which is 308 Street, um,
it gets so bad there that, you know, especially during peak times when the schools are coming out and the buses are moving around and it just be creates a whole lot of craziness there at Old Dixie and and 11 Street. So I I remember
during construction time we had issues on Campbell again and um they told me that they they didn't synchronize the US1 light with first uh first I think it is and then the busway and Flaggler and I thought that was kind of a strange
thing too that they they all should kind of work in coordination with each other. If traffic is flowing, it should flow. If it doesn't, then it stops because it'll be backed up from US1 west all the way to the busway and beyond. And sometimes it goes all the way to Chrome Avenue. So, I'm not sure why that's
happening either. So, I mean, I'm sure these are all simple things to to fix in in the future. Um, I'm I'm shocked that you don't have any control of the lights. Tanisha. Yeah.

Gaitan. Okay. The citation was mailed, certified and posted on November 14, 2025 for section broke out section violation of the section 23.5-66. All trash placed too early. The location
violation is 1399 on West 14 Avenue. I took the photograph on November 3rd, 2025. The photos fairly inaccurate represent was observed. Special master, please accept the photo submitted as evidence. >> Approved. >> Special master. Uh, this case receive a
previous warning under a previous case which is CC-25-0000340- NOV uh back in October 28, 2025. At least I can testify because I am under oath since the moment that the citation was given. I haven't seen no
further um old trash in that location. I believe the owner installed so no dumping sites and due to it I haven't seen at least in that location more more bash. We're doing a cons uh considerate work throughout the area but as of right now I think she's complying. The only
thing that remains on pay is the civil citation. >> Thank you. Um, please state your full name and address. >> Yes. Neta Gan, 1399 Northwest 14th Avenue Homestead. >> Thank you. Do you have a testimony you want to share?
>> Yes. I would like to share something is that um that garbage wasn't even mine and that is the reason why I started post I actually posted I bought these signs um the no dumping sign and my neighbor even called me to find out if
it was ours because I guess he also got a citation as well and we told him it wasn't even ours. He said it wasn't even his. So we didn't know who was dumping this garbage out there. And when I called the city of Homestead to find out, you know, what we can do about this, they had the audacity to tell me
to go out there and pick it up. I told them I was not going to pick up that garbage that did not even belong to me. I don't know what was underneath that stuff. When I did go out there during the afternoon after I got off work cuz I'm a I'm a prek kindergarten teacher. So when I went out there to try to pick
up some of the stuff, I saw bags and stuff. I don't know what was down there. I was not going to stick my hand down in there. Um, so then I actually called back again and I told somebody in the office in the I believe her name was
Chris and she told me um, no, this was before I spoke to Chris. I spoke to somebody else. They also told me that I should go out there and if I see anybody dumping anything there that I should confront them. And I said, "But this is
happening during the night. And if anybody is a if anybody's familiar with Redin Road, that road right there is pitch dark. So there is no way I'm going to go out there and it's pitch dark, confront somebody who's dumping out
there in front of my house and get myself into any kind of harm or any, you know, I'm not putting myself in harm's way for somebody dumping garbage out there. And I believe this is really unfair to me that I have to pay this fine, especially if I don't even know
who who's dumping this. And this one time that I did go out there, uh I would say like four years ago, I did confront somebody who was dumping illegally right there in front of my house. It happened to have been the property owner to the to the to the complex next door to me.
And the only reason why I know this because it was during the day when I was I didn't go to work that day. And I confronted I confronted him and we exchanged words back and forth. That's how I found out that because he was the one that told me that he was the property owner, which is he's not the
owner any anymore. But he told me he was the property owner. I said, "But you don't even have these these trunks and branches and stuff here. Why are you dumping this here?" But he was bringing them from the another location from another complex that he owned and he was coming and dumping it there. So this has
been going on for couple of you know more than a couple of years and now they come on they dump this and now they want to put the fine on me and they want to put the fine on the neighbor but I'm not here for the neighbor. I'm here about me. So I find this your honor this is
very very unfair that I have to pay for something that I have no nothing to do with this dumping and that's not my that's not mine cuz I know I have a calendar. So I have the calendar when is our dumping our
bulky pickup day. >> Right. Right. Thank you. Thank you so much for your your honesty there and talking. Um like you said this has been happening a long time. So it's it's going to continue. So um but our people still go out there and they have to
clean it up. So I mean it's my opinion. I mean I don't know maybe you need to get some camera or something but it's going to continue to happen. you're going to keep coming here and violations are going to keep coming and coming. It's your property and if it's it's your responsibility and you know it might I
understand that if you said it's not yours but it is in your property and if you have no proof that it's not you it's still is underneath your name and you own that. So having that comes with violations like this. So you have to do some type of a change. If if not you're
going to be coming here over and over and over and paying fines cuz I mean the trash doesn't stay there. it does get cleaned up and we have our our city and they go out there and they clean it up. So, being that you've been here so many times, that's something that you may want to consider. You know, that's your
property. That's it comes with it. It comes with having that type of area and where it's at. It's not an association. So, um that's my two my best thing that I can tell you to do. >> Is is there anything I'm sorry to interrupt. Is there any way that I can
find out about maybe um putting lights on that street right there so that I would be able to at least see even if I have a camera there's no way it's it's pitch dark out there on road there is a light there's a pole with a light which
I've already called somebody in the department that's deals with the lights out out um there's a light pole out there but there's a humongous tree that's blocking the light. So, it's there for no reason because there's a big tree blocking that
light, but then right in front of my house, it's pitch dark. >> I mean, you can present it to the city. Come to one of the city, let them know what's going on. I mean, if and if they don't do it, then you need to have a plan B as well. I mean, if they don't do
it, you need to go ahead and do something on your property, protect your area, because again, you will continue to keep coming here because it's it's it's on your property and you have no proof. So you can present to the city and let them know, you know, maybe request and maybe there'll be more neighbors that can say the same. But if
that doesn't, then you need to go ahead and take that responsibility because it's on your property. >> Okay. >> Um so this fine actually was supposed to be I'm going to rule on it. Um because we need to um I do find a violation of City of Homestead um for case number
CC2500132 TKT. It was supposed to be $1,000, but I'm going to go ahead and keep it to 500. I know it's a lot, but this is gonna go ahead and help you um and motivate and have this as well with something to prove. Show the city if there's something that you can um get some
lighting out there. If not, um I encourage you to do something because it is your property. >> Signs about the dumping signs, too, and put it there. >> Yeah, you got to do something else. Okay, so um stay at the 500. Today's an $80 administration fee and that's it. I
hope that you can get something worked or make a, you know, an investment on your property that you love, right? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> I was quick question. The the payment, does it have to be one full lump? >> She'll go right go to her and she'll talk to you about that. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. >> That's [clears throat] it.

when the vehicles that aren't ours, they parked there. So, what I did is I went and made an agreement with a with a homestead recovery. So, this way any cars that are parked there without our permission get towed. But other than that, I mean, they're not our cars. And we're trying everything we could. We try
to keep keep place clean everything so that you know it's clean but as soon as the exit gets cleaned up you know neighbors park there and that's what we're trying to avoid but I do I did bring an agreement with me so that should help keep other cars from parking there. >> Um let me make didn't you say he needs
to have a license? >> Yeah they need to like they using that like to park those vehicles. He is right. They are not. It's a little piece of land between the property at the rear and on the side. So you guys will have
to do something about that. I mean cuz those vehicles cannot be parked in there. I know probably like you say you just have this contract with the towing company but remember someone have to be present in there when to witness the violation. So you guys can call the
towing company. So, I don't know if you guys can find any other way that you guys can uh repair that. >> I mean, the only other way we're going to try this first. This doesn't work. I guess we had to fence it in so that they don't park there, but that'd be the only
other solution that would be the fence and the whole thing. >> Check with the development service department. check if you can fence that because that would if it's not what's going to happen is like let's say I go and do the reinspection and let's say there's no vehicles in there but how
about maybe in a week you will have the vehicles again so it this is going to be like occurring all the time so we want to prevent that >> okay >> okay so I'm going to go ahead and roll on this um I do find a violation of city of homestead for case number CC2500190

incapacitated vehicles or boats, uh, prohibited for, um, parking in front a of a business. Uh, notice of violation was provided to the property owner. Uh, reinspection was conducted back on 11:25 2025. At the time of the violation, the
property was still in violation. Um, I did speak with the property owner. The property owner did indicate that he was going to talk to his tenants to go ahead and advised them to not go ahead and park on the property going further. Um, at the time of us speaking, I went ahead and did additional uh reinspection at the property and the property was in
compliance. Um, due to that, I did tell them to go ahead and come in today so we can provide an adjudication for the case to ensure that this doesn't continue. Uh based on that um if you can please um submit the photos as evidence uh in
the inspection reports >> approved. >> Hi. What is your first name and lastly and address? >> Can I get >> your interpreter? Wrong drive homestead. Esparky Ramos.
>> Sparky Ramos. Um 636 West Mari Drive. >> Is he the owner of the property? >> Not power attorney. I did speak with the property owner and indicated he needed a power attorney to be present. >> [clears throat]
>> Let me check the division of corporations. >> [snorts] >> Okay. Okay. >> Okay. This this works. >> Okay. Perfect. [clears throat] >> Yeah, I think so.
Do you want to make a coffee or Yeah. >> Okay. Um, does he have a testimony he wants to share? So you were saying that that particular vehicle that you see in the picture, a tok pump a toe um truck dropped the
vehicle and it was there just for a period of time. And he also mentioned that since there's uh um other businesses there when they don't find where to put the vehicle so they park it, they put it like anywhere they can find a space. [clears throat]
So he's saying he brought a picture for all the days that where after he received the notice that he brought the property into compliance. >> Can I approach you? Okay. >> Okay. Um,
thank you. Does he understand why he is here? because um what I'm seeing is abandoned vehicles and there's no license or anything and it's and it's still on his on the property of the 637. So whether
they're their cars or not, it's still part of that property. So unless he does not want to continue to come here, get fines and all that, he needs to go ahead and and whoever owns the business, you know, take care
of that. You know, there's going to be cars, different cars, but if they park on your or on this property, it's it's going to get fined because it's on that property. whether it's the person's cars or not, you need to go ahead and and like I've said before, get cameras, do
something else, because otherwise just coming in showing pictures of that it could be or could not, it's not going to work. The responsibility comes on that property. So, whatever happens on that property has to take ownership. So for
today based on the code enforcer um you won't get fined today or have no fees today but this is basically the last time. So if it happens again you come here things can be different. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So I'm going to go ahead and rule
on this. Um, I do find a violation of City of Homestead for case number CC 2500528 Nov um that you have been told about these uh abandoned vehicles. This is the last time basically. Okay. So, you
understand? Do you understand everything that I said based on the cars whether they're somebody's or not? Do you have clarity? >> I prefer that. >> Okay. For the record, I believe we do need to actually physically say the the
adjudication was found guilty. Um, I'll confer uh the city attorney, but I believe that does need to be mentioned. >> So, you made an adjudication that it was Yeah, you can state that on the record, the adjudication, and any follow-up action that needs to be taken.
>> Okay. So, so we have that on record. uh for case number CC2500528 NOV um gone ahead and judicated today um there's no fee but next time it'll be different
>> so I did so Okay. Let's see. Okay. All right. [clears throat] >> Okay. Moving to lean reductions.
Item number one, Tanisha [clears throat] Monnique Ferguson, 2464 Southeast Third Street. Case number CE 20008
01 06 and case number CE 21 080017 >> [clears throat] >> Hello. >> Hi. >> Hi. Could you please state your full name and address? >> Tanisha Ferguson, uh, 2464 Southeast Third Street, Homestead, Florida 33033.
>> Okay. And do you have a testimony you want to share? >> Yeah, I do. Um, so I purchased the property um, in April of 2023. Um, the day of closing, I learned that the uh, the previous owner had some
permit issues on the day of closing. So, they told me that it was like some minor issues and um, if I go ahead and would purchase that the own the previous owner would take care of it. So that was the promise and uh went ahead because I've
been searching like for a whole year for somewhere and like um going through [clears throat] all of that again like I didn't I didn't want to do that. So I decided to just go ahead and close on the home and he he was doing what he was supposed to do in the beginning and then he stopped.
Um I believe because he got sick. Um I was just informed by his wife uh last year late last year that he died on June 27th. So, um, I had to hire a permanent expedited person because I have no clue on how to deal with stuff like that. I'm
I'm a first-time home owner. So, I hired him. I paid him uh $8,000. I initially gave him uh $4,000 and he has been dragging his feet. So, I had to work around his time. Uh, everything is now in compliance. All
the permit are now in compliance. But >> the uh the delay was because of him, >> right? >> Okay. So, we're we're talking about two different fines though, right? Let me double check.
>> It's uh gazebo uh extended driveway and the fence. So, I'll put it on the record for case C200080106. That one does not have a lean amount. The only thing on right now is for the
officer time and admin fee for the amount of $140. That one is a non-negotiable. We can't mitigate that. However, for case C210800170, [snorts] there's a lean amount of $15,275.
And again, office retirement admin fee of 140. The office retirement admin fee is non-negotiable. However, the lean of 15,275 is what can be reduced. And then we would have to add the $280 from the admin and officer time.
>> Okay. Received. Okay. So currently um the the fine for 15,275 the city has gone ahead and given you a 25% um reduction which is at $11,73625.
So they went ahead and reduced it for you cuz it was at 15,000 555. So that is what is needed to be paid so that the city can be and in this lean
can be taken care of. So they've given you a reduction. You must have requested that. So you're now at $11,736.25. >> Oh, I mean I came the day to sleep that could have been reduced some more because I'm not in financial standing to pay that. It's like it's too much.
>> Did you do you have some documentation? What what is for >> Yeah. Um well I I have my um last year's uh tax return. I don't have it with me because my tax person just got back from Africa today and I could like I could
get it later on today and maybe bring it in tomorrow. >> Uhhuh. Give me a second here. Let me see cuz this is Give me one second. Let me review the uh additional notes here.
While I'm looking at here, tell me um you said you were going through some hard times. Tell me more about that. >> Yeah. Yeah. My my business is not has not been doing good for the past two years. >> What kind of business you have? >> I have a hair um extension business.
>> It's been doing really bad lately. Sorry to hear that. Um but you understand now um with what with this leans all the and you said all the permits that needed to be done um terrace, driveways, all of that you stated to me has been completed. >> Yes.
>> And in compliance. >> Okay. >> Well, I appreciate you taking your time to get those done and getting all that. Um, well, based on your honesty and I know you're going through some times, what I can do is I can help you out and
bring it to 70% down, which is a big chunk because the city only gives 25. >> So, I can go ahead and authorize it to be 70%. Um, plus the admin and officer time that we must take care of, you know, they have to get paid as well. So,
um, your total now would be $4,862.50. 50 cents. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, that will take care of that. >> Sure. Go ahead. >> All right. >> All right. Next item on the reduction item number
two. Builder Ingenium LLC 2355 Southeast 24 Court. Case number CE2530096. Good. Okay. Um, can you please state your full name and address?

him. Um so she's saying that um if you can consider reducing um the uh amount says um he had to do the entire fence again. >> But when he bought the property, did the
property come with the fence? No. So, he bought it without a fence and then with the name. >> She said that she's a realtor, right? >> Yeah. >> Ask her if she's is she currently active. >> So, does she not know that you have to
have a permit? I mean, most realtors are aware that you have to get a permit before you implement a fence. So not any correct. Okay. I have a question if I may. Um, is this
his full-time dwelling? I don't see a homestead exemption on the property. It's an investment in Colia. >> Okay. So, what is the lean the lean amount that she's seen and that I want to see I want to make sure the numbers right. What is the total lean amount
she's coming here to talk about? So for the record, uh the case number C250300096 has a lean amount of $14,400 with a assessment for officer and admin time of $160. That is the non-negotiable. So the reduction would
be on the $14,400. >> Okay. Thank you. So, let's see. for um um you can let her know that um what has been given to her is already a
substantial amount of 70% from the 14,400 and now the city has with that um 70% the city has gone ahead and asked for 4,480 total and that needs to stay at that
