>> Okay. >> Okay. And compliance was not achieved and a notice of hearing was issued by certified mail on April 17, 2026 and is marked as county exhibit 11. The betro receipt was not received. Therefore, on May 1st, 2026, I posted

86
00:36:02.160 --> 00:36:23.599
the property in the Martin County Administration building. The affidavit is marked as counting exhibit 12. A photograph of the posting is marked as counting exhibit 13. Exhibit 14 was included to show the violations still exist, which still

87
00:36:23.599 --> 00:36:39.680
shows all the debris over here, inoperable vehicle. On May 6th, I received a call from the property owner, Michelle Brooks, who indicated she would have the violations cleared up prior to the May hearing. Therefore, I went to the property again on May 19th and saw that the sight of

88
00:36:39.680 --> 00:37:00.160
violations had not been corrected. At that time, I photographed the property. The photographs accurately show what I saw then and are marked as counting exhibits 15 through 17. Uh, you can't really see the trash back here, but you I get closer. Here we go.

89
00:37:00.160 --> 00:37:15.280
Still stuff here on the side of the house. Still the trucks here. Again, stuff on the side of the house. Stuff here underneath the trailer. Okay. >> On May 19th, I spoke with Mr. Paul Brooks, the homeowner, and he indicated the violations wouldn't be cleared up

90
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:32.480
prior to the hearing. Therefore, the respondent entered into a stipulation agreement paying $350 and agreed to come into compliance on or before August 31st, 2026. I request that all of the county's exhibits be received into evidence based upon the testimony and and evidence. I

91
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:49.200
request that the respondent Michelle and Paul Brooks be ordered to comply with the cited provisions of Martin County Code by August 31st, 2026. and if not in compliance by then be required to pay in a fine in the amount of $100 for every day for every vi violation that

92

94
00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:36.480
Paul Brooks have both signed the stipulation along with um Officer Shanahan on behalf of the county. I'm going to find it is appropriate to require the Brooks to rep

95
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:55.680
um to comply with the code on or before August 31st, 2026 failing, which there'll be a fine in the amount of $100 per day and also note that cost in the amount of $350 have been paid.
