2024-03865, Officer Laughler. Good evening. Officer Leler, City of Voy, Code Enforcement. Case number 03865 has no assigned address. The property is identified as Stonegate Drive with a parcel number
ending in 1052. On October 21st, 2024, this officer in response to a citizen generated complaint did observe and started documentation regard regarding required trees cut down and removed from the
easement areas owned by the preserve at Crown Point Homeowners Association Incorporated. Required trees removed from the common area easements without permits or arborist reports. After identifying many specific
locations and some communication with the planning and zoning department, a violation notice was sent out on January 30, 2025 to the property owner, the preserve at Crown Point Homeowners Association Incorporated in Leburg, Florida,
for violation of ordinance 45-13 regarding the removal of trees without a permit. And I have some exhibits here that are throughout the neighborhood. And you can see where there's missing
trees and small tree trunks. And they're all in the easement common areas. More the same thing. The property owner was given until March 2nd, 2025 to contact the Akoi building department and coordinate permitting and
replacement trees with the building and planning departments. The identified locations are the easements in front of 1828 1861 1879 Donahoo 1864 Marave Me Maraveail
2054 and 2060 Kreswell 2020 2220 and 2224 and 2259 Farnham 2741 32 26 32 32 32 34 4 and 331
stonegate and 2946 Bushme. The violation was sent certified service and was delivered to the front desk reception area on October 11th, 2025 in Orlando, Florida. The compliance date
passed. This officer attempted to find out if the property owner had approached the city and how the o other departments wanted to proceed. With some position, personnel and whole department changings, this case remained in an open status.
In late March, the plane department made an inquiry about the status and advised they wish to proceed with the case. On April 2nd, 2026, a statement and hearing notice to this meeting was sent out certified service posted at the location and in the city hall lobby.
Then the city administration said they didn't want to take the case for April. So again, another hearing notice was posted at the city hall at the location and sent out certified service for this meeting date. As of this date, the
violation remains non-compliant. The city's requesting a compliance time frame of 30 days and forfeit a fine amount of $100 per day for every day not in compliance with any orders this board issues. I have a
>> I have a question. >> Yes, ma'am. >> So, the compliance date was March 2nd, 2025. >> Pardon me. >> Um, March 2nd, 2025 is the original compliance date. >> Yeah. March 2nd, 2025. >> So if found in violation, we'll be
finding for over a year's worth of being in violation. >> That would be up to the board. >> How many trees in total have been removed? >> I'm not exactly sure. That's why they need to coordinate with the permitting
and zoning people to go over the original site plans. You gave a lot of a lot of addresses. So, it sounded like there were at least seven or eight addresses. >> Oh, yeah. >> And no permits were full for any of those. >> No. >> And this was a citizen generated complaint,
>> right? Are all those other cases um going to be brought before us, too? >> No, cuz all those trees are in the easement. They're on the property of the corporation. >> I understand. Okay. And has there Okay, so we're um essentially
finding the the HOA for preserve comp point. Has there been been any conversations, coordination? >> Not that I'm aware of. >> And that code again is 45-13. If there's no other questions, I'll
entertain a motion. >> Mr. Chair, I have a I'd like to make a motion. >> Yes, Vice Chair Lewis. >> Mr. Chair, I move that in case number 2024-03865, the respondent be found in violation of
the code as cited as of March 2nd, 2025 and be given until June 20th, 2026. to come into compliance will be fined $100 per day per violation until found
in compliance. >> Do I have a second? >> I would second. >> All right. Have a motion on the floor by Vice Chair Lewis, seconded by member Whittle, excuse me. As in in case number
2024-03865, the respondent be found in violation of the code cited as of March 2nd, 2025 and given until uh June 20th, 26 to come into compliance or be fined $100 per day for the
violation uh as long as it remains Any discussion? No. Let's go ahead and take a vote. All those in favor? Yes. All those opposed? No. Votes are in. Passes unanimously. Perfect. >> Thank you.
>> All right. On to the next case. Uh on my screen here, it looks like it's uh 2024-04597. Officer Laughler, >> I don't have any. >> Sir, that's one of the cases that's been
continued to the date to be determined. >> There may be a typo. That's not I don't believe that's on the >> I apologize. That's the wrong >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I I didn't see it on there, but um Okay, we will continue that one. Perfect. All right.
>> So 4597 and 253 have been continued. >> Uh 253 is that also on there too? >> 253 is on >> is 99 desert. Let me see. No, I have it. I have it. 253 right here.
99 Desert Kendall Drive. All right. So the next case before us is the one member Schultz brought up. This is going to be uh 2026-0000253 9991 Desert Candle Drive. And this is officer Laughler. >> Edward Laughler, City of Akoi, code
enforcement. On March 13, 2026, this officer did observe state and local records regarding the property located at 991 Desert Candle Drive resulting from a complaint from the Akoi Building Department to be in
violation of city code 119-2. And this is for having a homebased business without a a uh local business tax certificate. They also are active and current with the state of
Florida for our corporation. I verified the property owners to be Asenia Brandy Carter and Timothy Ray Jones as confirmed by county records. On that same day, a notice of violation was posted at the property and sent
certified mail. The property owner was given until April 2nd, 2026 to correct the violations to obtain a local business tax receipt or discontinue the business. The property information was reinspected
and found non-compliant with the codes as cited and checked with state records and the city building department. On May 7th, a notice of hearing for this hearing was sent to the property owner, posted at the property, and posted in the city hall lobby. As of today's
hearing, the property remains in violation of code 119-2. I have had no contact with the property owners. However, I believe the clerk received a phone call and they're aware of this meeting.
Also, I think I have one exhibit And that shows the state's records and the city's records. The city's records show referred to code and the state records show it is active. The business is anybody here this evening to speak on that?
>> Nope. >> Oh, there is somebody here. >> Oh, you are here to speak on that? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. First off, um, is anybody have any questions for the officer at this point? >> And you said this was brought this was brought forth by the city itself from >> I can't hear you. I'm sorry.
>> This is brought forth by the city. >> I'm sorry. >> This was brought forward by the city. >> Yes. >> And the city is seeking a 15-day compliance time time frame or a fine of $100 per day. >> All right. Anybody have any other
questions for the officer? All right, sir. Would you like to come up and to the podium next to Sergeant Rodriguez? >> He may need sworn in because I didn't see him here before. >> And uh if you if you could speak your
name clearly for the record, your address. U My name is Timothy Jones. My address is 99 Desert Candle Drive, AOY, Florida 34761. Okay. Thank you. >> Hold on a second. I don't know if he was
here to be sworn in. >> Were you here to be sworn in? >> I was here in the beginning of the meeting and the inception. >> You raised your hand the whole thing. >> Yes. I was sitting right in front of you. >> All right. We'll take you at your word. Okay. Perfect. >> Um, so I'm I'm a disabled veteran. Um, I've been going through some disability
claims with the VA. I've been set back in my business ever since 2021, since co the end of that era. Um, it's been very very hard to get back in business. So, my business is a registered business
with the state and I have struggled financially just to keep up and the business hasn't made any money. Um, and I guess the way the city made the business sound as if
that we were running freight in and out of the business or delivery packages, things of that nature, and it was just a standing website with our business as a third-party consulting firm. So, any of
our business that we've had, we haven't earned anything in the last 5 years since 2021. And, you know, that's just my testimony. And then you know with my disability with the VA it's been a rigorous struggle just to stay in business. So
the reason my business is incorporated is because I would like to keep it reestablish it and continue with my business efforts. So, you know, that's my explanation as to what's been going
on and to the the tax that I'm being taxed for that the business hasn't made any money and I've been strapped. I do have my documents from the VA if that needs to be presented, but I just wanted to state my case.
>> Understood. Thank you. We appreciate you being here. The city would be open to 30 or even 60 days if it would take him that much time to get. >> Mr. Ray, you please stay up. We're not we're not done with it yet. >> Yeah, that's all right. The the the city would be open to what?
>> Uh 30-day or even a 60-day time frame for compliance if that's what it takes for him to come up with the money to save the to bring the city's business tax receipt up to up to >> right >> level. And it and it's just the tax
receipt you need to have. You understand what the officer is asking for. It's just to basically register your your your business here >> in in the county or in the city. Okay? It's not a it's not like an income tax. It's a very very simple. It's a minimal
amount. Um, if you're going to have a business and it is going to be active, you you do have to have um the the you know the >> business tax. >> Business taxing. Thank you. Sorry. >> Right. You I'm not disclaiming that at all. Um I'm not trying to run around the
law. I' I've really been strapped and that's the truth. So, you know, no other excuses or anything like that. I've just been been in a pickle and that's what it is. >> Understood. Um, let's ask you. You know,
the uh the officer uh is willing to uh extend the the time to get this paid. Um do you think you could get it done within 30 to 60 days? >> Um is it possible to do any type of payment plan? >> That was something that you would have to talk to them about.
>> Okay. If we can discuss that, that would be helpful. Again, you know, I am strapped when I say broke. >> We understand that. We appreciate you being here to explain your situation. Sure. >> And just for legal just a clarification this is not based on revenue >> correct
>> of this is not based sorry this is not based on revenue of a business it's the form the formation that >> correct yeah the term receipt might sometimes confuse people think that it's actual receipts from sales that's what it means is it's the receipt the city gives you to verify that you paid the tax right it's like a it's more like a
parking ticket or like a parking receipt to showcase that you should be in a parking lot >> so I'm saying if you're aware of the amount it's not it should not be anything. >> Well, I think it's uh $600 and something dollars that's owed >> just because of the time frame, but it
hasn't been paid maybe. I'm not. >> So, every time you register, there is requirement to have that receipt. So, if it's been from 2017, it's been for those number of years. So, yes. >> Okay. >> So, that is being required. >> Yeah. I I would just, you know, if it if it's all possible to look at making some
type of payment plan because I can't promise what I don't have. I will do my very best. I've been looking for jobs, but doing due to my disability with the VA, I am unable to work. So, I'm 80% disabled
at this point, which I should be 100%. But the VA is two to three years behind in filing these claims and getting them complete for the veterans. So, you know, that's my only problem. You know, if I can work something out, I'll definitely
work hard to do so. >> I don't know if they have a payment plan or not, but the longer time you give him, he could just put it aside himself and it would be the same. >> Well, I'm sure that'll be a lot cheaper than a $100 day fine. So, >> sure.
>> Keep that in mind. No, for sure. Anything that you know you can help out with that I I'll comply to no problem. >> All right. >> All right. Any other questions for uh Mr. Ray? >> No, sir. Not for me.
>> Okay. Uh I will entertain a motion. Someone would like to make one. >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. >> Yes, member Schultz. Um, I move that in case number 2026, that's 00253, the respondent be found in violation for
code as as of cited as of April 2nd, 2026 and be given until August 19th, 2026 to be found in compliance or be fined $100 per day per violation until found in compliance. And in the event the property becomes
vacant, I'm well the business. I further move to C2. >> All right. Anybody going to second this? >> I'll go ahead and second. >> All right. We have a member motion on the floor made by member Schultz,
seconded by member Whittle that in case number 2026-0000235, the respondent be found uh in violation of the code 1119.2. 2 and and add the um the compliance date of April 2nd, 2026 and
given until August 19th, 2026 to come into compliance or be fined I'm sorry, what was the fine amount? >> $100. >> $100 be fined $100 per day for as long as it is in non-compliance. Any discussion?
All right, let's go ahead and vote. Those in favor press yes. Those opposed no. It passes unanimously. You've got 90 days to get this taken care of. >> Okay. Thank you. >> All right.
Um, Sergeant, is the next one dismissed? 347. Uh, what is it? Uh, >> 34. >> 356. 256 off. >> Let me see here. Where are we at? Right here. >> 256 has been dismissed. 347 should be
the next one on file. >> All right. Do you have 34 >> 324? >> There it is. Gotcha. All right. Sorry. Okay. Next case. Uh, case number 2026-0000347. Officer Laughler.
>> Officer Laughler, City of AOE, code enforcement. Case number 00347 is regarding the property at 324 Worst Road. And I have some exhibits here in a second. There we go. On February 6th,
this 2026, this officer did observe the property located at 324 Worst Road to be in violation of the following city codes 5-15 residential units. No recreational vehicle, bus, shed, or other similar thing shall be used as a permanent
residence. and 5-8 B prohibited uses. Three, use of a travel trailer as a a per permanent residence is prohibited. And 6-4, off- streetet parking.
Commercial vehicles and trailers of all type cannot be occupied while on a pre premises and hooked to utilities. This officer did observe two large recreational campers visible in the rear yard from the street. One of the trailers had actually scraped part of
the house and fence getting it into the backyard and the fence had not been replaced. There were many cars around the property and persons observed coming and going from the backyard. A rent sign was in the front yard and this officer called the number to inquire if the
house was for rent. The person who answered conveyed that the trailer on the right side of the home was for rent and the newer one on the left was already rented out. On February 9th, I verified the property owners to be Drake A. Smith as confirmed
by county records. On the same date, a violation notice was posted on the property and sent certified mail. The property owner was given until March 4th to correct the violations and that would be discontinue the occupancy of the
trailers and to disconnect the utilities. You can have two trailers in the backyard in the city of Akoi, but they can't be occupied. On February 25th, a female representing the owner called stating the new family
in the newest trailer moved out and they are removing the trailer but are having trouble evicting the occupants of the other trailer. On March 6, another call received saying they were in the Orange County courthouse trying to get the eviction process and wanted an extension.
The new compliance date being changed to April 6, 2026. No further contact occurred. On May 7th, a notice of hearing was sent to the property owner, posted at the property, and posted in the city hall lobby. As of today's hearing, the
property remains in violation of city codes 5-151, 5-8 B3, and 64H. It's on your paper. I don't have it right here. the uh there's still people renting the
trailer on the left. The trailer on the right was removed. So, the city is requesting a 15-day compliance time and impose a fine of $100 per day per violation until the property is in compliance.
I don't think so. I have a question for legal. How um how long does an an eviction take? >> That's a very complicated question. It depends on the specifics of the the the lease agreement and things like that. whether rented legally or illegally. Yes, that is. >> Yes. Yes. There are certain there are
certain tenant rights that that come into play and it's the courts are never fast. >> Officer, did you say one of those units was removed? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. One of them was removed. >> All right. >> The one that scraped the house is gone. >> Okay. All right.
Uh, anybody here to speak on that today? >> No. Do we have any information on where they are in the process of eviction >> or the what? I'm sorry. >> With the eviction or any idea where they are in the process of >> I couldn't even tell you if the eviction was real. I'm just that's hearsay that
she told me over the phone. >> It might be possible to look into court records, but without more specific information about the the identity of the the tenants and things like that be difficult. And uh all three violations still remain, right? Correct. So $100 per days
uh per violation. >> Correct. >> So we're looking at 300 today. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Any other questions for the officer? >> Not. I will entertain a motion. >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. Yes, member Whittle. I move that in the
case 2026 00347 uh the respondent be found in violation of code as cited in compliance uh observed on February 2nd 20 I'm sorry
April 6th 2026 and be given until June 5th to be put in compliance or fined $100 per day per violation um until found in compliance. Second. >> All right. We have a motion on the board
um in front of u made by member whittle seconded by vice chair Lewis that in case number 2026-0000347 that the respondent be found in violation of the three codes cited and uh and of the compliance date of April
6, 2026 and be given until June 5th, 2026 to come into compliance or be fined $100 per day per violation until found in compliance. Any discussion? Let's take a vote. All those in favor
choose yes. All those opposed. No. Motion passes unanimously. >> Thank you. >> Okay. 464. Should we skip the next two? >> I need a break. >> Okay. Down to 916. All right. Looks like
the next case before us is 2026-004 64 and that's officer Laughler. Stand by. Case number 00464 is 916 Marlene Avenue.
And this case is a result of a police department traffic unit involving a disabled, beat up recreational vehicle that was in the street. The complaint stated from the police department, traffic units towed an older
junk RV from the roadway on February 19th, 2026. The RV has returned and is now being parked in the grassy portion next to the driveway. The RV has not been registered since 2000. There are also multiple junk trucks in
the front lawn. All have their expired tags or no tags. In addition to these observations, this officer also noted that the garbage waste cans issued by the city were stored in a prohibited location in the front yard during non-colction time
frames. On February 24th, this officer did lo did observe at the property 916 Marlene to be in violation of 115-3A3 and that's a public nuisance for trash and debris.
143-27A, 165-3A, and 64H23. 143-27A is for the garbage cans. 165-3A is for the trucks with no tags on
them or expired tags. And there was also miscellaneous junk and debris scattered across the property. In these pictures, you can see it in front of the garage, but unfortunately behind that trailer is
a very big pile of trash and debris. On February 24th, I also verified that the property owner was Michelle Richard as confirmed by Orange County Records. A violation notice was posted on the property and sent certified mail. The
property owner was given until March 5th, 2026 to correct the violations. On March 10, the property was reinspected and found non-compliant. On March 7th, a notice of hearing was sent to the property owner, posted at
the property, and posted in the city hall lobby for this meeting. As of today's hearing date, the property remains in compliance with 6-4 A23. The RV is gone,
but non-compliant with codes 115-3A3,43-27A and 165-3A. Although there has been no contact with the owner, we have had many, many prior related cases, and I have communicated with him for the same issues.
Based on these findings, the city's requesting a 15-day compliance time or impose a fine of $100 per day per violation. And that's to get the vehicles with no tags tagged and registered and running and move them to
surfaced parking, clean up the junk and debris, and put his trash cans where they belong. >> Is it um 916 Marleene Drive or is it 916 Marleene Avenue? cuz I see different. >> It's Marlin Drive. I'm sorry.
>> It's Marlin Drive. >> Okay. Cuz I saw Avenue in a couple places. >> It sounds like an afternoon. >> All right. Anybody here to speak on that this evening? No. All right. Any other
questions for the officer? >> All right. I will entertain a motion. >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. >> Yes, Vice Chair Lewis. >> Mr. Chair, I move that in case number 2026-0000464, the respondent be found in violation of
the code as cited as of March 5th, 2026 and be given until June 5th, 2026 to come into compliance will be fined $100 per day per violation until found in compliance.

>> So he could put the trailer. >> You see what I'm saying? >> Yeah. You want to be >> So his idea now we spoke about he said he would pull the fence back to where it was so he could put the trailer in behind the fence >> and if he uh surfaces the
uh imperous ground with some kind he mentioned crushed concrete that he could park there too. >> Yes. You do you do need to go uh run that by uh zoning real quick when you when you go to lay that down because they're going to want to see it. Uh it's
a small permit. It's like 36 bucks. >> And where's that at? Where do I get it? >> Right across here. >> Yeah. Right over >> Can my daughter get it because I'm not here during the week. >> I I'm sure as long as it it matches the address and you know they'll be fine, you know. >> So, perfect. All right. Uh sounds like
you're you're going to take care of this. >> Yeah. I told him I was going to remove the black trailer the first of the month cuz I already got a a place to park it. >> Okay. >> And if if I can put the grandma there to park my cars cuz I was asking we cannot park in the street and I got three cars,
personal cars and he said it was if I pulled a grab I was fine. >> Okay. Just make sure you double check with those guys over there and then you won't ever be before us anymore for this. Okay. >> We do have to rule on it though. So I I

>> All right. We are down to and 823. >> Okay. Next case before us is case number 2026-00823. Officer Katie, you're up again. >> He's basically the woman. He will be
right back. >> And again, good evening. >> What is yours? >> Officer Katie. Uh, city of Akoi code enforcement case number 2026 00823 regarding the property at 10pine key
court. On March 19th, this officer did observe the property located at 10 Pine Key Court to be in the violation of the following city codes. 115-3 public nuisance 108-23B uh general requirement for structures. and I'm going to go ahead and bring it
up. Okay. Uh on March 19th, I verified that the property owner to be the foundation rentals of Winter Garden as confirmed by the Orange County property appraiser. A notice of violations was then posted on the property, sent by way of certified
mail. The property owner was given till April 3rd to correct the violations. On April 6th, the property was reinspected and found non-compliant with the codes as cited. On May 7th, 2026, a notice of hearing was sent to the property owner, posted at the property, and posted in
city hall. As of today's hearing, the property has come into compliance with code 108-23B, but remains non-compliant with city code 115-3. And I'm going to show you some of the evidence.
Okay. There's the posting on the door of the trailer. This is the skirting. Uh that was uh violation 108-23B. And you can see some of the trash on the side here. The trailer, this skirting
was fixed. There's more trash on the side in the yard and the tires here now with the trash in front. As of yesterday morning, pardon me, as of yesterday morning, I went and checked the location and the there was a pile of
trash in between the two trailers and the tires and debris were still out front. This evening prior to the meeting uh to the hearing, I had an opportunity to talk to the uh owner of the property and he stated to me that he's been
having pro problems with people leaving trash and whatnot in that location. Um, I I'm suggesting a 30-day and $100. >> And the owner of the property is here. >> You said the skirting is fixed.
>> Yes, sir. >> Okay. All right. >> Okay. Any other questions for the officer? >> None. And we have somebody this evening speaking. >> Sir, you know the routine. Come on up here. State your name, address.
>> I got a question. I hand that to you or three of them. Uh yeah. Hi, my name is Russ Wiggins. Uh the address is Tim Pine Key Court. Uh so I handed out a couple of documents
to you uh just to show that we were actually attempting compliance relatively expediously. So I believe what was it the 19th that we got the violation. Uh you can see from the quote that we got there that we were reaching out to people to have them repaired the
next day. Uh if you look at the transcripts of the text messages that I had with the contractors, you can see that work started on the skirting by the 27th. Um now as far as the cleaning is concerned, the assumption was and I had
spoke with the contractors as well as some other people that do some odds and ends for us that the area was going to be cleaned as those repairs were being done and that was the assumption. So when we got the notice of hearing, I was
a little bit taken aback that we got it because the assumption was that it was all taken care of way in advance. Uh so after getting that notice and thinking about it, thinking that well, you know, we've already done the skirting, so it must be that there's some sort of trash
or something still on the property, as of yesterday, I had somebody come out and do trash removal again. Uh, so he said that he was there in the morning, they were there in the afternoon. Uh, so it should be totally compliant, but I'll
be happy to go out there myself and if there's a tire or something there, I'll be happy to to pick it up, but it should be if not 100% 99% there. >> Okay. >> Thank you.
>> Uh, yeah, I was just going to say thank you for supplying this. I appreciate that. Do you have Do you have any type of video that monitors the property when you're not there so you could see who dumping stuff out there? >> The problem is I feel like any kind of technology or anything like that that I
put out there is going to grow legs and walk away. Um, you know, we've had problems with even things bolted onto the sides of houses like air conditioners and things. If there's not somebody there to watch it, they'll take it. Um, so yeah, unfortunately video
surveillance isn't really something that we would be able to feasibly do. Um, but I I have a feeling as it stands right now, we're trying to get a tenant in there. It seems that when you have active tenantship in there, there's less
of that, but the property that's next door, I I don't want to throw accusations around, but there's a little bit of uh hoarding kind of stuff going on. And also, like I said, it seems like that's a walkway through, like it's a shortcut through some of the properties,
so people will just drop stuff as they're walking through. So, but you know, we'll try and um be a little bit more diligent about it. You know, uh I myself can, you know, say that I can drive by a few more times and and see if it's an issue and then have my, you
know, my hallway people come back if it it becomes another nuisance. >> Yeah. saying all the right things you like. >> Well, I mean, I'm I'm trying to tell the truth, but at the same time, thank you. >> All right. Well, it helps if you're local, too. So,
>> all right. Um, any other questions for um Mr. Wiggins? >> Thank you. >> Any questions? >> Vice Chair. >> No questions. >> All right. Then I will entertain a motion 30 days.
Mr. I'd like to make a motion. >> Ask for 30 days, right? >> Yes. >> Yeah. 30 days. It's 30 days, right? Mr. Katy. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Mr. I'd like to make a motion. >> Yes. Go ahead. that in case 2026- 00823, the respondent be found in
violation for the code um as cited as of April 3rd, 2026 and be given until June 20th, 2026 to come in compliance or be fined $100 per day for violation until found in compliance.
>> Do I have a second? >> Second. All right, we have a motion on the uh in front of the board made by member uh Schultz and seconded by Vice Chair Lewis that in case number 2026-0000823 that the respondent be found in the
violation of the code 15-3 uh A and the compliance date of April 3rd, 2026 and be given until June 20th. 26 2026 uh to come in into compliance or
be fined $100 $100 per day uh for the for the one violation until found in compliance. Excuse me. Um any discussion? >> Yeah. Um one quick question. Do you have a picture of the property as of this afternoon? >> Yeah, actually I'm sorry. Are you
talking to me or him? >> Either one of whoever. >> I do not. I actually uh the the pictures that I provided you on the last page were actually yesterday afternoon. >> Did you want to see them again? >> Yeah.
>> Yeah. Back page. >> Thank you. So would have to verify. >> So from what I was told, what was removed when they came and got it was something like six center blocks, both broken and whole, and I think like three
or four tires, uh, along with some other various, you know, pieces of rubbish. You >> did officer Katie see these? Yes, I saw it earlier when I spoke to him outside this uh if you have one of the tree
because this is basically where the tires were. >> Okay. >> Are you satisfied from seeing the pictures that that the uh the property's in compliance now or no? >> Uh I I could be I mean I could check it
um on Saturday morning. >> Okay. I I know my my word doesn't necessarily hold sway as evidence, but um but I can tell you that that stuff's not out there anymore >> with with the current motion that we've made. They have he has 30 days to to
rectify anything else. Okay. So, we had discussion. The motion is still in play. Uh let's go ahead and vote on that. >> Yeah. Um those of u yes, those who don't hit no. Okay, it passes unanimously. So, you got 30 days to fix it up.
>> Sounds great. Thank you. All right. >> All right. We're on to blue. Next case, 2026-00872. Uh, Officer Katie. Again, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Officer Katie, City of Koi Code
Enforcement, case number 202600872 regarding the property at 2 South Blford. On March 24th, 2026, this officer was notified by the CO building department of work being done without a permit at the property located at 2 South Blford
Avenue and to be in violation of the following city code 51-13. Permits required. On March 24th, I verified the property owner to be S&T Moon LLC of Akoi, Florida.
uh as confirmed by the Orange County Property Appraiser. A notice of violation was posted on the property and sent via certified mail. The property owner was given till April 24th to correct the violation. On April 27th, the property was reinspected and found
non-compliant with the codes as cited. On May 7th, a notice of hearing was sent to the property owner and posted at the property and posted in city hall. As of today's hearing, the property remains in violation of 51-13.
I have made contact with the property owner's representative on May 12th, a Mrs. Diana, who is here today, and she states the contractor who has done the work is in the process of obtaining a permit. However, there are
some zoning issues with getting the permit. I'm going to show you the property. This the posting. And here's the pavers all the way around the outside of the building. And the the front of the building.
Um, since there's an issue, uh, as I spoke with Miss Diana, apparently the general contractor when he went to get the permit, uh, had some issues because the zoning for the building or the plotting for the
building is totally wrong. There's issues with it. So, he couldn't obtain a permit right away. Um, Miss Diana is not looking to, you know, she she she's the the family has spent a lot of money fixing the property up. You
can see it. It's right across the street. You can see it through the window. So, um, I'm willing to give them 60 days to come into compliance or $100 a day thereafter. You said that there's a problem with the
property or something. So, how how is that going to be rectified? >> Um, that I don't know. Uh, she has a general contract or working with the zoning department or with the uh building department. Exactly what they're doing, I do not know. Maybe they
would be able to help you a little bit more. She They're here today. She's here today. >> Any other questions for the officer? >> I'd like to hear Yeah. what they have to say. >> Yes. Um and who's here speaking tonight?
Uh please come up to the podium. >> Name, address, the whole thing. >> Hi, I'm Diana TR. Address is 2 South Blford Avenue. I don't Oh. Um, yeah. So, what um officer said here, it's we just want to
make the city look nice. I know we have the mural that the city asked to commissioned and so we wanted to make sure the side areas also look nice. So, we thought uh getting the pavers would look nice. We asked the person who's doing our pavers, the person who installed it said, and we double checked
to confirm because we are quite literally right next to city hall um to see if we were needing any permits. They said no, they've done it before for businesses. No permits needed. Um clearly that was wrong. Um but we are definitely open to doing whatever it is
that we need to do to make sure we are in compliance. Last time we checked, our general contractor um was contacting my dad, which is here. He's just not talking because he's in pain a little bit. Um, but they said that they are in talks with zoning. What that means, I
have no idea if I'm going to be honest, but we have been double-checking to make sure that they are doing the thing. And I spoke with um Priya from the building department um and she did tell me that that they were that there was something open, I believe, but I'm not too too
sure. But I if I'm if I'm understanding correctly, I think the issue with zoning is um we technically have two plots of land over there. Um so it's part of the building and then there's a little tiny sliver that the city owns and then the
plot right next to it is ours. So I think it's that little sliver that the city owns that is maybe overlapping. I'm not too sure though. I don't want to overspeak if I'm wrong, but I think that's what the issue is with the zoning portion. So, you say it might be an easement or
something? >> Yes, I think so. I'm not too sure, but uh if we need to move it in closer, we can do that. I I don't know. We're open to doing whatever we need to do. >> So, have you been in touch with the zoning department or has it only been
your general contractor? >> It's been our general contractor. Um the only person I've really talked to um is Priya from the building department, I think. Um and it's it's because we have a whole another thing that we've been talking about, but yes, I've been
talking to Priya from the building department. >> All right. Um have they given you any indication as in the general contractor of when they might be able to resolve this permitting? >> I haven't gotten any updates. I'll check
in um tomorrow or tonight. I'll text him just to see any if there's any updates. Um, but I think he said that he knew that there was going to be a couple of issues. I'm not too sure. I'm going be honest. It's mainly my dad talking to him, so I haven't talked to him really.
>> All right. Anything else? >> No. >> No. Any questions? >> I'm just You're saying u 30 days. That's up here or 60 days. Up here says 30 days. >> Exactly. I didn't get a chance to fix
that, but after I spoke to the GC that she has, he explained to me that it's he's working with them. >> Uh, and it may be a little bit of time before they can over, you know, get it together. So, I I'm going to ask him for 60.
>> So, this was uh basically his recommendation was after you spoke with the GC. >> That's correct. >> Okay. Um, I think that he they realize that if they cannot work out something with the zoning and fix
that little percentage that's not theirs that they'll have to take take up the pavers for that portion >> and that will bring it into compliance. >> That would it well depends. It's if they can work something out with the permitting department and they the
permitting department sends the building department over and checks it say it's okay it'd be fine that way. >> Yeah. Because before it was >> without a permit. So that's the permit that you're talking about. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> And they're not going to issue the
permit unless they can say hey look what you're giving me the dimensions you're giving me is correct. But it's not because there's a land variance there. Okay. Any other questions for the officer or M chance? >> Okay.
>> No. Then board, I will entertain a a motion. >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. >> Yes, member quiddle. Uh I move that in case 202600872 the respondent be found in violation of
code decided in compliance date April 24, 2026 and be given until July 20th to come in compliance or be fined $100 per day per violation until found in compliance. >> Second.

the trailer, but it won't be until August. So, I told him that the city would ask for a compliance date of August 1st, 2026 or forfeit $100 per day.
>> August 1st. >> What was the original compliance date? >> It was continued, right? >> Well, yeah. Okay. >> We continued it, right? >> Well, the original compliance is February. >> Wow. It's been out of compliance since February.

>> Yes. Let me just pull up that case again. >> We have It's uh 728 North Lakeshore Drive. How you last month's? Sorry about the coughing. I should have brought some water like you did. That
was smart. >> There you go. >> There we go. All right. Good evening, chair, vice chair, and members of the board. I'm Sergeant Rodriguez with the Oakway Police Department Code Enforcement Unit. Tonight I will be presenting case
20008-000042, 728 North Lakewood Avenue for authorization of foreclosing. This property was first observed by former code enforcement officer Robert Sagrist on November 8th of 2007 to be in
violation of city codes 6165-3 115-3 and 6-4 for multiple abandoned vehicles, trash and debris accumulation, improper vehicle and trailer storage,
overgrown grass, and a broken fence. On February 26, 2008, the code enforcement board found the respondent, Antonio D. Harmon, which he is here today, and the property in violation and a fine
of $250 per day was assessed against the property starting on March 12th, 2008 with a imposing order and claim of lean being recorded with the Orange County Comproller in March and May of 2008.
Since code enforcement transitioned to the police department, the respondent was sent a lean reminder letter and been served with foreclosed paperwork for the city from the city attorney detailing the history of this case and the amount of leans as of February 11th, 2026.
As of today, the property has not come into full compliance. I do have photo exhibits and I personally took these photographs on Monday the 18th as you see on the left. We'll start on the top left. You'll have
the uh one vehicle and it's on um I guess either jacks or I don't know what the proper term is for those items there, but it's being lifted. Um this is trash out in front on the road rightway. As you see on the right, there's some
more junk vehicles. On the bottom towards the middle, you see the Chevy with no tag. And there's other vehicles in the back. You see the Mercedes in the carport without a tag. The white vehicle that is obviously been
there for a while based on the condition. Here's the front of the home showing the address and the other two are pictures of the property on the north side. So, you'll see miscellaneous trash. There's a trailer and I believe that's a box
truck way in the back. Um, from what I estimate, it's at least 12 vehicles in there. 12 different vehicles when I was on the property looking. So pursuant to Florida State Statute
162.09 subsection 3, the code enforcement board is authorized to foreclose on a lean or sue to recover a money judgment for the amount of the lean plus acred interest after 3 months from the filing of the lean. Since the property has been
non-compliant for several years, the city is requesting authorization from the city attorney, I'm sorry, for the city attorney to proceed with an action for money judgement pursuant to section 162.09 section 3.
I also have some more items here. This is the police officer call history for the location. There's approximately 34 calls for service since 2016. nine of which resulted in police reports. Um, as
I mentioned, the photographs were taken just this past Monday. And that's about what I have right now, unless the code I mean, the board has any other questions that I may be able to find for you here on the paperwork.
And there's the latest um notice of hearing that was sent. If you see it'll be on May May 7th of 2026 and it was sent certified and with the UPS tracking it was
delivered and left with an individual. I'll be glad to answer any questions. >> Does the process normally take this long, >> sir? Um, since it came to the police department's attention, this is where we've started to work on some of these
back cases. Um and now it's where it's gotten to the point where we try to work and um try to get compliance as usual and um however we continued with the same I guess
that's happened since 2007 where you know it's on our side it would be just not complying with the orders. I'm sure if um at some time prior to that if Mr. Harmon would have came to us, we probably would have came to some sort of
resolution. However, I can't speak for Mr. Harmon. He's here today. And um so all I can answer is from the beginning of the police department's involvement in this, that's all I can really attest to what happened. >> Thank you. >> Yes, sir.
>> And you um just it's been an open case since 2008 or 2018? >> No, 2008. >> 8. >> Yes, ma'am. Eight 18 years. >> 18 years. Okay. Go back over here.
you folks have any >> I just pulled up some of the older case things here as you can see um here's more of the case history from going back 2008 to present so this is the old files that we've obtained and were able to
upload into the system >> we appreciate that >> yes sir I'll go ahead and scroll as you You can see here and the docket um 0708
proof of service certified mail. I think there's a few times that was unclaimed. But >> would the respondent have would that be notated along the way too if you had communication with the respondent in any of these? >> Yes, I would see that in here. And from
my quick scan of this, it didn't look like >> I saw that. >> Here's a letter dated 2021. That was still prior to coming to the police department. >> Yeah. Slow down there for just a second.
Thank you. >> So, this was a additional thing. the fence, the tree, >> the uh vehicles again. >> Correct. >> Continuing. >> Mhm. >> Is there any any more pages? >> Oh,
there's quite a few. There's about There's over a 100 documents in this one right here. There's 152 pages in total. >> There's 152 total. >> Appreciate that. But uh >> understood, but I wanted you to get the full picture of, you know, >> understood. >> So, okay.
>> And those are the MUN codes. So, okay. I'll go ahead and get out of there and go back to my template. And any other questions from the board? I'll be happy to answer as best as I could. I I realize that this is actually for you.
This is a relatively new case for but this case has been going on for 18 years. So >> Yes, sir. >> Um sometimes it's hard to go back and wade through all the stuff, but I appreciate the stuff that you've done. >> Um do any of the members have any other questions for Sergeant Rodriguez? No.
>> Um so m >> so what's being asked is for us to vote on having this um foreclosure lean being enforced. Uh, we're requesting an authorization. So that way we can ask the city attorney to proceed with action of judgment. >> Got it. >> I don't I don't believe that we actually
have one of those formats on here, but we can, >> you know, the case number and we can we can do that. >> Uh, you can't. Yours isn't touchcreen. It's it's his touchcreen. But I think we should hear from Mr. Harmon at this point. Yes.
>> Is he here? >> Yes. >> Yes, Mr. Harmon. >> Harmon is here. Now I know why you were so excited to jump up there. You were the last one here, huh? Okay, I >> see that. I'm always the last one. How y'all doing this morning this evening? >> But I can answer most of the questions if you can go back to the pictures.
Um, ever since 2008, uh, I had a custody battle and my baby, my son's mama, we went to court and she told the judge that I had a roof in the ceiling. I had a hole in the front yard.
I had stuff around the house. So, I had uh, officers came to my house that day by the time I left court. I had people like City Hall, I mean a core, they came and told me everything I had to get done. But when I got everything done, because
what's on this paper, they saying an old Saturn. I got rid of the Saturn. They said I never did that that I never complied, which I did. On this paper saying old Saturn, I got rid of everything that's on this list. I got rid of the Saturn cars. And then when I
got this paper, uh, March the 3rd, March the 10th, so I went back in the yard and got rid of everything again cuz the main part, all the cars that y'all see in my yard, the one on the left is my Eve that I just
got out of the motor went in it. And then me when I got his letter in the middle that debris that we uh just started putting out there in the front yard um we started piling it up because we started cleaning the yard since uh they
was on my case. So I started doing everything. My son car on the right, the tow truck in the back, all that's driveable. That Mercedes I just got but and the white car is my daughter car. The the
crank sensor went So by me working on her car, she going to work driving truck. She went ahead and got her another vehicle, left me with this vehicle. So everybody cars that I work on, they leave me with vehicles that I have to get rid of. So in the last
month, I just got rid of seven cars that I might get sued from it because they never gave me any money. They left it on my yard for about two or three years. And every time I went to the DMV to try to figure out how can I get a open
tighter, they told me that I have to go uh to the newspaper, put everything in the newspaper to get rid like everybody try to come get their cars. But ever since I got this letter, it pissed me off because now I'm trying to save my house. I'm trying to save my cuz my
house been in foreclosure for time. This case been going on since 2008, if you see it. And by 2008, I didn't know once once I got done like cleaning the yard the first time, I didn't know that I supposed to come down here to a koi, let them come and check out the house, and
they never came back by the house since then. Cuz the first package that I got, the guy came and dropped a sermon, but he threw it on the ground in front of me. And when he did that, he drove in my yard and almost hit my stepson at the time at the time when me and the girl
was going out. So I came up I called here and they they already knew who exactly it was that ser the papers to me. That was like 2008 and I've been fighting this case and trying to get to lean off my house. But now I'm cleaning everybody cars. I mean if the name on the car I don't even care no more. I'm
trying to clean it up. It's just that when I lost my job I had like two stoages. Everything inside the storage I run to the house. I piled it up in my yard. I covered it up. And then most of the cars that people cars that I had at at the yard, I use it as a storage bin.
So now the last month I just had to take everything out the cars, throw it on the ground, let the tow truck come and get it. No matter what happened to me later on, if I get sued because I got rid of people cars cuz I'm tired. I want my house back to myself. I won't like I
couldn't even walk in my yard. I felt embarrassed. So now that I got room, if I was going to take pictures today, last night when I got off work, but I didn't have enough time cuz I came home tired. And I'm able to walk in my backyard now. I have more room than I ever had. And
now it's like I got trash. And that right there, that just was put there by the money and they won't pick it up. And I got more to pick up like put out there. And I'm scared to put it out there and they won't pick it up. So, I don't know if I need to call them every time I put something out there. And if I
and my next thing I got to come in, put a get a permit to put my fence back up cuz all the cars that was it was they old through the years with co and all that. It's like I can't find the people to come get the car. So, I just got rid of them and I still got like one or two
families like my daughter, my brother car. I tell them come get it. They look at me like I'm crazy, but nobody don't care about my house but me. So now I'm here trying to like save my house. Like that's why I'm here today. Like I'm lost cuz I got a paper that stated in 2008
and the cards that's on this list is not even in the they've been on my they've been off my yard 5 years ago. And I'm here because I don't know which way to go. So the answers that I'm trying to get today, where do I go from here? Um and I know to put up a fence, I got to
come pull a permit. And before I pull up a permit, I got to get I guess they I got to have one of them to come to the house to let me know what need to get done or to get the lean off my house. They had to come and they never been to my house since they dropped that paper. And I don't know why they saying that
they've been there. Ain't nobody been at my house. I've been watching. I've been asking. I've been looking. I mean, that's what I this here. I could have never got rid of the cars that I had had in my yard today. And this what saved me because by this being here it's like
well if they want to if they want to sue me I got this to say look I got something to cover my butt but that's all I have. I don't have I mean I got six cars that wasn't everybody different lanes and I got rid of them. So I don't know what might happen after that.
And all these cars here is like my Avalanche. I just got a my the black truck. And he said in the same thing if you look where the tow truck to the right them the same two cars that's over there to the left. And I got to take the motor out the front to put in the transmission cuz I
thought my transmission went but it wasn't. It was my motor. So my twin brother told me to take the motor out the black truck to put in the evidence. But before I could do before me and him could do that, I got the letter and me and him just been cleaning the yard. And thanks for him. My twin brother, he been
helping me clean the backyard. We just been getting rid of Like, excuse me. We just been getting rid of stuff like crazy. And if I like if they even try to say June, I got so much stuff that I'm I mean, I ain't no hoarder, but I'm getting rid of stuff left to right. Even the stuff that I lost that I
covered up got wet and a lot of it still new. And I'm like, I just lost that. And now I'm to the point now trying to get a lean uh get a loan to get everything done. My house fit the gate up. It's hard to get a It's hard to
get a loan. So I'm ready to sell, but I don't know what to do from here. And before I can sell, I got to clean my yard. My bad. And I'm trying to clean the yard now because I'm to the point now what 20 years I've been been there doing everything right and everything that
that's from the people that's been living with me. I put a roof over their head but I can't I can't stop from them getting in trouble. That's just it. That whole list I don't know I even pulled that list up. It's like I was in jail or something like but that's something that
they ain't got nothing to do with this case. So, and the only thing I'm hear I'm like that them two right there that just been there. So, it gonna be some more on top of that. But I hate to put more on top of that until they move that.
I don't know if uh every time I put stuff on the side of the road, do I need to call them to like, look, I got more because I got a case going on. If I don't get it out the yard, it's just going to be piled up and piled up.
And I don't want to keep piling stuff up because like he just said, they thought that was just there for like years and years. No, that was just there not even month. They still ain't picked it up. And I never seen a court do that. But they just and all the trucks that I seen on side of the road,
they pick up everybody and stuff. But my house when they come to my house, I just got to hassle. Like hassle this. Why they won't pick it up? Why they won't pick it up? Like dog, they got the big truck. They come out with a scooper, pick it up, then I could just go ahead and add it and I and I was nice enough
to even put it all in that little and like the thing and roll them up and we put them out there. I mean, leaves and everything. We just piled it up, but I can't put no more because it's just going to run in the road and I don't want to put no more until they get that. And I got a trailer to take to the dump
site, but that cost money. But with housing, forecloses, child support, garnishment, taking out my check, I don't have no money. I'm just about ready to sell. My son say they I got the house for the kids, but they talking that yin-yang junk like they don't want it, but now
they want the house, but I'm looking at it like y'all don't want the house cuz I say I got a lean. I try to come out here and help me with the yard. They don't want to get off the ass. They want me to fuss with him. I don't have time to be fussing. My uncle had a stroke. He died. Just had an argument. I ain't with all
that. I feel stress coming up my arm. I'm just turned 54. I ain't trying to die right now. I'm trying to live. So, I'm here to save my house. I will do whatever to say. 728, whatever name they got on there. I don't even care what they who been there, done, whatever. It's just that by me signing them
papers, I learned when I was young, I didn't know all that at the time. But when the first foreclosure hit me, the second foreclosure hit me, the third one, I almost gave up to the I'm like, and that's why I'm here today. Like, look, I can't just give up. But all my
money went right there >> and I'm still trying to clean. I just I need a little bit more time to clean. But if you and I need somebody from I guess uh to come to the house so they could see that I have been cleaning. I
have been moving cars. But I do need another list of what need to get done. What right do I have to how far I I got to get appraise. I know I got to do an appraisal for the fence myself. But other than that, I just need them to come out there. Thank you, sir. To come
out there and tell me what else need to get done because I did everything they said I did. Cuz all this here Oh, I don't even know why they even brought this up. >> All right, Sergeant Rodriguez, when did these pictures get taken? These
>> Monday the 18th. >> Monday the 18th. >> Yes, sir. >> May 18th. >> Yes, sir. This past Monday. And you counted 12 vehicles in the car in in that you saw >> at minimum. At minimum I could count 12
>> from the sidewalk >> and we got rid of them. >> Mr. Harman, I I I I truly believe that the list of cars that you had back in '08 >> are probably gone. >> You know, they had to add cash for clunkers and a whole bunch of other stuff going on. So, I'm sure that your
inventory has changed, but the the what hasn't changed is the situation. >> No. I know. See, that's the problem. All them cars there was my my um my family cars. >> Yeah, I understand. But but here's the problem is the the the violation
continues. Didn't matter if it was a a 2001 Saturn or a a n a 2021 Avalanche. The the problem is you have untagged vehicles here and and this has gone on for 18 years. >> No, no, no. The untagged vehicles, they
just started because I had to that avalanche my twin brother got me. The motor went so I got out of that avalanche, got back into my old avalanche. >> Yeah. >> And now I got to take the motor out of that one. He told me to take the motor out the truck so we can get rid of the black truck or the >> I understand we're semantics right now.
I'm trying to give you I'm trying to give you an illustration of what's happening. It's not really any one specific vehicle. It's a pattern of And and I I think you're I I want you to be aware that that what's coming before this board right now
>> is is they want to foreclose on your house. This nothing about cleaning up. The the cleaning up part has been a long time coming. That never got done. >> No, it got done. We don't got If you would have known me back then, we had
cuz I were doing trying to make ends meet. They say I I guess they saying I was too nice me helping people out. I go help people and they I move out there and move this stuff out the house. They got debris. So when I bring it to my house
on the trailer, I try to like go through it, get the metal, put it on one side, get the trash and take it to the dump site. But when child sport hit me and with the foreclosure, I just been trying to keep up with the foreclosure and the lean. Trying to get the lean up by cleaning up the yard, listen, doing what
y'all ask. And then I was hoping that like they'll come to the house because they told me that once I get done cleaning up, doing what they asked, I didn't know that I have to come out here and get them saying that I finished. And that that's what messed me up. >> Yeah, Mr. Harmon. I mean, uh, the the
officer Rodriguez, even though he wasn't here at the time, we're showing a a document signed by Doug Gaines back in 2021 with the consistent violations. >> No, I wouldn't even work I had lost my job in 2021. in 2019. I'm sorry. >> I'm just saying that that that we have documentation.
>> No, but none of them cars like that. That one just got there. I didn't even have an avalanche. >> I understand it's it's not any one particular car. It's the the constant different cars that are >> Well, see, that's why at that time point >> and you know, you can't have the un
untagged unregistered vehicles at your house. >> Well, that's what happened with the c my customers or families. They got their cars and I checked them out. When I as soon as I tell them what's wrong with the car, they go get theirself another car and leave me with that car. And then I get them so many times to come get their car. They leave me hanging. So now
I got to take the cars out the front yard, make someone spotted in the back and then they look at me like, "Well, you can't get rid of my car. I'm going to sue you." And I'm like, "I don't have time to get sued cuz I've been sued by everybody." When my house went in forclosure the first time, everybody came back and sued me that I owed. And that's the only thing that kick kicking
me in the butt to the fact that now I don't want no cars in the yard. And I'm trying to get them all out. But couple of people don't die, which I just got rid of the cars. And without no tag, I I went to the DMV try to get a open tag. They won't get it to me. They say I
have to go um put it in a newspaper. I went to the junkyard to see if they come pick it up. They say without the right title. And then it's like I was just going through it and right now I just got rid of it no matter what happened to me. I ain't got no title. I didn't have no title. People
just came and picked it up because I told them just this once I showed them this they looked at it. They said I'll do what I can to help you. I said I'm not trying to get you in trouble but they been on my yard so long that they are my cars cuz I'm the I'm the homeowner. I said but if you can get rid
of it, take it. I didn't get no money. >> Mr. Mr. Harmon, I I empathize with you. It's this the the situation in front of us though is the documented history of this pattern. >> That's what I'm saying. >> It's like a pattern that I can't even get out of.
>> Unfortunately, the you know, we're here asked to be able to authorize the foreclosure lean to be able to move forward so the city can act. So I I'm not sure if we even the right body to >> Well, that's what I'm saying. here the city of
>> when when they they when they tried to sue me back in the days I had to go to court in Orlando and they was there too and I didn't understand it and that's why I'm here today cuz I don't understand it cuz why I was getting sued by city of McCoy in Orlando at the same time but that was my house was in
foreclosure >> and when I I had to go to foreclosure to say the house so I went there and when I went there to say the house they was here from city of saying that I had and I didn't understand at ease. I was young at the time, but now >> being there for four foreclosures like
>> I'm just trying to learn the system like keep up with the date. >> True. >> And now I'm here like and that's why I was glad to come here and get up here first cuz I was trying to get the right answers and now that I'm the last one like look I was hoping to get a good answer because I don't know what to do.
I don't know if they got to come out here and say look this here don't need to go. You need to put a fence this and that. just need to go like they did last time. The first time they did it, they was good at it, but I ain't never seen nobody since then. >> What what what you're just saying is exactly what you're speaking factually.
You've done this in 2008. >> You've done it many times. You've been foreclosed. >> No, I did everything else on myself. >> However, what you you've just stated yourself the facts of where we are is that the the action keeps repeating itself. >> That's why I'm here today. Like, how do
I stop it? Well, that sir would have been a new after trying number one, two, three. It seems we're at number five or six. So now the city has a responsibility. >> Uhhuh. >> So the question I I have for legal council now when if the city is
authorized, how long does that process take? Because it's not instantaneous. Correct. >> It's not It's not instantaneous. That's correct. >> It's not instantaneous. So how long does that process take? Walk us through this. As I've never been through it, so what are we looking at? And is there a remedy
for Mr. Harmon? >> Yes. You know, if he >> a remedy or a a bounce or >> Well, the the the primary thing that's going to have that would happen if if we do it does the if foreclosure is authorized is the city would foreclose on the lean any superior uh if the city
would get you know with the property would be sold. Uh you would have the option um to what's they call redeem the property which is basically buy it for its value. Um, and uh, you know, whatever it's sold for, the city would get whatever it's owed. If
there's any superior uh, mortgages or anything else on it, that would also they'd get that and then you'd recover whatever is left in the value of the property following anything that's outstanding. >> So, question, the last time we went to court when y'all was there, um, two weeks later, they sent me a letter in
the mail saying I can get the deed to the house cuz they sold my title to somebody else. And when they did that, I guess this screw them up. And I had to I had I wish I could go and find that letter, but I'm sure it was in one of them cars. But they sent me a letter saying I can get the deed to the house.
And I So I took that letter and showed it to a couple lawyers. They said, "Well, I guess you got a free house." I said, "I don't want a free house." >> Yeah, I don't have that information. >> 5,000. I want to pay them back. >> I don't have I don't have that information about what happened in the previous case. So I can't speak to to to
what a previous filing was or the facts were. Well, they still got it cuz the lean's still on the house and I've been trying to get it off. >> Presuming it's the same action, >> right? Presuming that it's the same action. I don't see anything on the record that that there's ever been a motion brought before the the board to
foreclose upon the lean specifically. There may have been another for foreclosure based on other grounds. >> Well, they stopped all the foreclosure cuz I kept going to court and that's that's why I'm here today cuz it ain't no more foreclosure. They saying I got the house, but without the deed itself, it ain't telling me I got the house.
It's just a letter that's saying you can get the deed to your house cuz they sold your title, which they were wrong for, which I could sue them, but I've been sued by everybody. I don't want to sue nobody. I just want to get through this process the best way I can. Like, how do we handle this? >> And that is the remedy.
>> Yeah. >> How much is owed right now on the property? Do we know that amount? >> Nothing. It's a nothing. That's what I don't get it. >> Fine. >> Yes. 250 a day for >> 18 years. >> 20 2008.
>> And that's what See, they were supposed to stop that if I would have came and got like came to a point, which I didn't know that I supposed to came to a point and they supposed to went and checked out the house saying, "Okay, then everything was done." So, so, >> so that's why I'm asking now like >> if they come and give me a list and then
who would I get in touch with to record me, okay, I did this, I did that, now they can come out here and check it and write it off. But >> I don't know that and that has you've gotten the let by your own admission you stated yourself. >> Mhm.
>> That you have gotten these things in the past and you have fixed it multiple instances. Well, see that's what they told me last time when I fed it when I'm that's when my son was two at the time. >> So the so the action being requested now is based on the based on whenever was the
compliance date there would be a a fine assessed >> from today going backward. The city would then be given if we um voting that the right to sell the property, pay off whatever debts are owed, leans,
mortgages, whatever. >> Well, I'm not going to sell my house. I'm going sue him. That's it. Cuz I'm just trying to figure out the >> Respectfully, sir, that's not your Respectfully, sir. That's not your call at this point. You're you're >> Well, that's why I'm here cuz I'm trying to learn this cuz I'm trying to figure out how can it go from one thing if I
ain't never had anybody come to the house. If if it wasn't for this letter just sitting on my couch, I would have never got it. >> It's on your couch. >> It was just sitting on the couch when I got home and I don't know who served me. And when I would look at who served that last paper, I was like, who signed off
on it? And I know to be served, you have to come to me and I have to sign off and I don't know who >> stepped the letter or who got who got what. And that's what keep confusing me because all the cases that I've been in, I've been served and the police have to come to you and then you sign
>> and it was like that. >> So, and the and these things don't happen. Well, by your own admission and what you're stating is we did not get here overnight. >> No, no, no. That's what I'm saying. I don't know how I don't even know how I even got here to this point because >> by your by your by your action or non
action. Okay. >> I don't know you can see these but there's multiple multiple >> I didn't even know it was that much. >> I didn't know you showing you're in violation. >> I mean there's there's no way that this board could think that you were not notified.
>> I was notified. I guess cuz I have a >> 20 2008. >> I think the problem is my son named Antonio de Harmon too. So when he come and get my mail, he put the mail up and then I got a twin brother into Anthony D. Harmon and I if you pull me his name
up, all his stuff is on my record. >> All right. So question for legal. So were we to authorize this process all the vetting that we're speaking of the ambiguities and we don't know >> that would come up during the litigation. Yes, >> it will it will come up during um >> yes during litigation.
>> Theoretically during discovery if that's discovery, right? It will come up. I got to go to court >> and and that's where all the ambiguities know can be addressed. >> That's what I address it. >> Yes. So the the the um the responsibility of the code enforcement
board is to provide a clear um well organized path forward >> and that is what we're here to do. >> Okay. Now hold on. Can you repeat that again? It's a clear path forward if the the request is from the city to
authorize and and um place a lean on the home. So from 2028 through now all the things that have taken place >> 2008 there's a slight point of order. There's already a lean on the home. I think that's an important thing to say. You can fix everything today and it be instantly done and he can go out there
and say it is done. So that means you're only owe you only owe everything from 2008 to today. You know you get what I'm saying? like all all the accumulated fines are still owed. That's not fixing fixing the problem today doesn't fix the problems for the past 18 years. >> Okay. If I can add something please. Um
looking through the paperwork on 2008 I have it up on the screen. Um there's the imposing order the order imposing fine and lean back from uh the city on February 26, 2008.
Um, it does outline the violations and I'm just going to scroll down to the bottom over here where it was signed and ordered and there's the tracking certified mail and it does say it was delivered right now. Um, >> who sign?
>> Madam Madame um clerk over here is telling me that the lean is at about 1.6 million right now from 2008 to present. Yeah, cuz I ain't know none of that. And what that's what kind of freaked me out
cuz when I saw this letter here, I'm like and I'm reading like I got rid of all that. And I think the only thing that screwed me up cuz they told me I should have came to a koi and then they supposed to came and shut down the house and said I got the idea ordered and I didn't even do that because I guess me
trying to fight custody for my son that was threw everything up cuz she would she really tried to railroad me with my son to keep like she she announced everything hold in the front yard hold this hold that and I I fixed everything but I guess I just didn't come down here cuz I didn't know
Right. >> So, >> all right, Mr. Harmon, we're gonna we we got to make a uh decision here. >> One more question. Can I get copies of all that? >> You can make a public records request with the city clerk. >> Kimmy Her never been there. That was my
son's mama, but I don't know why just cuz her name was there, but she she never moved with me. She moved with me one time, but me and her didn't even last. And she was my kid's mama. And this was since 2008. So sir, we have
>> Yeah, she weren't even there in 2008. >> We have shown great patience and and accommodations. >> Yeah, cuz I 2008 got the house. >> We're here today now. We're here today >> to make So we've shown great patience and accommodations from 2008.
>> I'm just trying to figure this out. >> And as officer Rodriguez just stated, um, all records can be requested through a public records request. >> Okay. Um so they can be obtained and as legal just stated whatever over here. >> Yeah. Over here and as legal just stated
whatever action takes place now. >> Oh go website >> right >> and and here's a secondary whatever actions legal has to take there is a discovery process where all documentation again will be assembled.
So many different ways of um finding out over the past 18 years. Mhm. >> All that has taken place. >> Any other questions for the officer or Mr. >> Okay. >> I will just add that by Mr.
>> Say it again. >> What was it? >> I will just add that by Mr. Harmon's own admission, there are more than 12 vehicles on the property >> and um I believe the record and the exhibit speak for themselves. >> We understand he's still in violation right now, >> but I've been cleaning up. >> Okay. Right.
>> All right. We're going to have to make a motion. >> Let me see if I can make the right motion here. Um cite the case number. >> Sure. U Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. >> Yes. >> I move that in case 200080042 um be found um that we move forward to
authorize a foreclosure lean. Um, I'm not clear on the dates because I know it's in 2008, but was were the dates was that November 8th? It was filed with the comproller on March and May of 2008, but
the March 12th of 2008. That would be the day where the violations, the fines have been started. So, um that was found um cited for compliance date of March 12th, 2008.
>> Correct. >> Um be brought into an authorization of foreclosure for lean for >> city attorney. >> The city attorney. >> Was that pretty clean? >> That's seconded. >> Clean it up. >> You're good. >> Yeah. I'll try to clean it up a little
bit more for you, but we got the gist. How do I turn this on so you guys can hear me? All right. A We did Vice Chair Lo did. All right. So, we have a motion on the floor made by member Whittle, seconded by Vice Chair Lewis, that in
case number 20008-000042 that we are authorizing the city of Akoi to foreclose uh on their lean regarding this property at 728 North Lakeshore Drive.
uh from the compliance date of March 12th, 2008. >> Mr. Chairman, if I can just add specifically authorizing the city attorney to move forward with >> the city. Okay. >> Yes. Just because statute that's what the statute says. So specifically city
attorney. >> All right. And we're allowing we're authorizing the city attorney to move forward with the uh initiation of the foreclosure lean. >> That works perfect. >> Okay. Any discussion on that?
Okay, let's vote. All in favor, choose yes. All those opposed. It passes unanimously. Good luck, Mr. Harmon. >> Thank you. >> All right. Now, are we done? >> I think
so. What you saying? >> Even though I still got a case for Orlando, I still got to take all this information and go still go to Orlando. Um, I I would suggest that you probably get with the city attorney and and if you have the ability to pay off your
lean, then you probably get your house back. But still, you'd still have to clean up your yard >> once it's going to take a while for us to get this thing going. And there's a lot, as you saw, there's a lot of paperwork for us to process. There's going to be a lot of of stuff for us to track. So, this isn't necessarily we're not going to be filing paperwork tomorrow on this. So, but you know, once
this actually is filed, you'll be properly served with everything. You're going to be kept in the loop. We'll make sure that you're you're properly you're notified of all the stuff. So, we're not catching you on trying to catch you off guard on any of this. We're going to keep you fully informed of everything. >> Yeah. Cuz they've been catching me off guard.
