is 86 Sundial Key. And we have a person representing that property in the audience today. on March 6, 2026, in response to a police department generated complaint which stated aggressive rooster and
junken debris throughout the property. Also advised of a trailer on the property. On the same date after establishing an address correction, a violation notice was posted at the location and sent out certified service to the owners Guad Guadaloop Hernandez
Perez and Lewis Rodriguez Perez as identified by official county records for multiple violations of code including nuisance bar animal trailer parking, junk and debris, dilapitated fence, tall weeds and grass, sidewalk
blocked with grass and a junk vehicle. The notice provided until March 23, 2026 to comply. This was uh sent out certified service and posted at the location. On March 24th, reinspection revealed a
great deal of progress, but violations still remained. On June 4th, 2026, a hearing notice to this meeting was posted at the location, sent certified mail, and posted at city hall lobby. As of this day, only one violation remains,
and that's 6-4H6B regarding trailer parking. There's a box trailer that's in a prohibited location right now, and it's small enough that it can be put in a correct location. And there's a very large camping trailer,
which appeared on the property and and it actually can't fit in the non-conforming lot and can't be put behind a front setback. So, it'll have to be removed. The city is requesting a 15-day compliance time frame and a fine amount
of $250 per day for every day not in compliance with any issued orders. And that is just for 6-4H6B. And in the exhibits here, you can see how the property did look. And he did a lot of work, the property
owner, including even fixing the fence and getting rid of the debris. That box trailer in the bottom right is the one that's still on the property. And there's someone here to speak. >> All right. Do we have any questions for
Officer Laughler on this case right now? Lord. >> No. >> Okay. >> I have a question. >> Yes, ma'am. Yes. >> Can you repeat the 15day and what else was that? uh $250 per day for the one violation.

2026-0000854. Officer Katie. >> Again, good evening ladies and gentlemen. Officer Katie, city of Koi, code enforcement case number 2026000854 regarding the property at 806 Lyall
Street. On May 6, 2026, this officer was notified by the Akoi Police Department of the property located at 106 Lyle Street to be in violation of the following city codes 108-35 and 115-3.
Both are public nuisance uh codes. On May 6th, I verified the property owner to be Linda P. Gonzalez as confirmed by the Orange County Property Appraiser. A notice of violations were then posted on the property and sent by way of certified mail. The property owner was
given till May 20th to correct the violations. On May 25th, 26th, the property was reinspected and found non-compliant with the codes as cited. On June 4th, 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 remains in violation of codes 10835 and 115-3. I have made contact with Miss Gonzalez on several occasions. I've visited the site on several occasions. And when you
see the evidence here, it has changed, but it's more like moving one stone from one side of the street to the other, as you can see the debris in front of the building. If you look a little closer, you could see the pad lock on the front of the door there. And that
was my posting at notice a hearing, the debris in front. Again, a closer picture of the padlock. And as you can see, all the debris cups and whatnot.
There's a pod that sits right in front of the house that's been there quite some time, loaded with I I don't know what's in it. And this is the other side of the house, the entryway. Now, I have uh several people here that like to go further. I've got the police
officers that have responded to or ace police officer that has responded to that location on occasion. He can give you a little more insult intel into the homeless issue that's going on through the back of the residence. >> Okay. What's the uh city's
recommendation or date and fine? Uh the date it's going to be 30 days, $250, but we're recommending if we can have the property demolished. And that would be under code the 10 10835 public nuisance. Um when a
nuisance condition hazards degenerate or cumulatively impact on structures, doorings or other buildings regulated by minimum standards codes to the extent that the repair, removal, securing or demolition is necessary for the public health, safety and welfare. Then the off
enforcement officer or his designate or code enforcement board is authorized to order the property owner or city agents to repair, remove, secure, vacate or demolish such structures. So, the recommendation, Could you say the recommendation again, please?
>> I'm sorry, sir. >> You say the recommendation is 30 days. >> 30 days, $250. >> And about demolishing >> per and the what? >> And what did you say about demolishing? We recommend that the the this if they can't come in compliance within 30 days,
we recommend that the the structure be taken down. Okay? >> There is no active running water or active electricity in the structure. There is an open account for both. They're just not using anything. There's no, it seems there's nobody residing in the structure.
>> Okay. The only resi only people residing in there are the homeless people that transfer between there and the back of the property. >> Can you explain to me if I remember? >> I'm sorry. >> Go ahead. >> And the other thing you said, is it Linda P or is it Jane P Gonzalez? I
thought you said Linda. >> I have from the property appraiser. It's going to be >> Linda P. Gonzalez. >> Okay. responding things we have here is James Jane P. That's who's coming up to speak.
>> I might have made a mistake by putting the wrong name there, but is this it here >> on the ticket? I have a Jane. >> That's what I have. Jane P. Gonzalez. It's Jane. >> Is it Jane or >> It's Jane. Jane. >> Jane. Okay.
Officer Katie, are you aware of any history related to this problem uh property as in have they been cited before in the past? >> In the past, I don't know the pri prior history to it. There were I haven't looked at it. There are several
uh violations in the past. I have not gone back and looked at it. Um I know the property by driving by it quite often. >> Understood. >> But nothing documentative. >> Okay. Thank you. Any any other questions for the officer?
>> I do at this point. >> Yes. >> Officer Katie, can you explain to me what what do you mean when you say two open accounts? >> In other words, she has an open electric account. Duke Duke Energy has has an account for her, but there's no
usage. The city water department has an account for her that's been closed by her. Yeah. But Thank you. >> You're welcome. >> Do you do you know if the uh meters have been pulled on those or >> that I do not know? >> Okay. Just as
>> I do in contact with Duke Energy today is present. >> They did a ping on it and >> electricity passing. >> All right. Thank you, officer. Appreciate that. Um officer,
go ahead and your state your name. me over here. >> Tell us what you >> um >> I'm going to play your body warn camera >> first. I'm gonna play a body warn camera so that way you can see um video of Officer Hopkins at the location on what on and he'll testify as to what night it
was. Go ahead. You can narrate it if you want. >> Officer Hopkins, employee ID578. What was your other question, sir? >> Um uh no. you you uh just go ahead and tell us what you want to tell us or are we just going to watch?
>> Yeah. So, this will be of an incident on May 11th, 2026. Um I'll let it go through here for a minute. We might need to Oh, you have >> audio turn.
>> This the fire night or the burglary. >> Okay. So, this was a incident of a fire um reported in the backyard. Um I've been to this residence numerous times for calls for service. Um I've been there for burglaries that have been
reported. I've been there for disturbances uh that have occurred where people are leaving their their uh vehicles in the middle of the road. It's a one-way road. It's a very tight road uh which also causes some public safety concerns. Um, on this night, the fire,
uh, as you can see here, I was going through the backyard of the neighboring house, uh, because I already knew how difficult it was to try and make my way to the back of the residence, uh, as I had been there previously and even had to step in human feces one night, um, while trying to set up a
perimeter for a burglary report. Um they've busted through this back fence line here um into the neighboring property and have even started uh overflowing onto the neighbors at 100 L.
Um in the back of 106 L on the back fence. Uh I tried to go around there and take a peek and see if I could see where the the fire was coming from. Um there's rats running all over the place. I've encountered numerous upwards of 10 uh
people that are in encampments in the yard. There's no running anything. All it is is a place for trash to compile. Uh and people are living there in those kind of conditions outside. Um on the night of the burglary that I
responded to, um we attempted to go inside the residence and clear the house as we would uh any other time. We had a police K9 there as well. Um, we had to actually pull the K9 handler had to pull the dog out for its own safety. Um,
because there's there's so much stuff on the inside that the pathway to get to one little section uh would be nar more narrow than the uh the top of this marble top here. Um, it's just littered with debris, junk,
trash. Um, and she stated that night that that she was just sitting there in the in the the residence. She's got about a 10-ft path in and and that's the the the rest of the house is completely filled with stuff that's un untraversible. Um
but I'd be open to answering any questions if you guys have any questions. >> So go ahead. >> So what you would deem the house >> as a nuisance of public safety? It's the fire department had difficulty even getting back to a reported fire which
was them just I guess trying to burn food maybe or burn something to cook or burn trash. I'm not sure what they were burning. Um there's so much stuff back there. If one little especially in the drought we've been having last I saw reported on the news was over 30
something inches of drought. Um one little ember sparks that whole place. Um and I know there's some neighbors I think I've seen you guys out there on the corner house before. um you know, and their their house is gone in the blink of an eye, you know, cuz it's all just going to spread so quickly with that amount of uh trash and junk
accumulation throughout the property and the residence. >> How far back would you say you've been um you've been called to this house if you remember? A year, six months? >> Yeah, I mean it's it's probably gotten progressively worse over the last six to
eight months, I'd say. Um, I'm not sure when she moved back in. I believe she wasn't there for a while and and and moved back in. Um, I think some of the issue is is, you know, the the people that are living there with her um that
are just, you know, in her yard, which she's allowed to live there. We've never gotten a that I am aware of. We've never not gotten a call for like any kind of unwanted guests or she just is collecting them as well as all the junk.
There's a lot of foot traffic in and out of there. Um I don't Are you guys familiar with the street itself? The oneway street. It's Lyall goes back from Franklin. It's kind of behind Crawford Tire in that area. >> And >> so it's produced now numerous calls for
service. I think I saw up there a fire report from that night and it's definitely a public safety hazard and >> All right. >> I think if any one of you guys was the neighbor to it, you would be of the same opinion. >> Understood. Thank you, Officer Hopkins.
Is anybody else have any other questions for the officer? >> There is one one other individual that'd like to speak to you tonight reference the neighbor. >> Uh, understood. We we actually have multiple people speaking on this evening. So, but thank you, Officer Katie. All right. Um, if no other
questions for the officer, uh, I have, uh, uh, Jane Gonzalez. Is she Are you here? Yes. >> Yes. Please come up to the, uh, podium, speak your name, and you got, uh, five minutes to tell us.
>> Know who you are. Okay. Okay. My name is Jane P. Gonzalez. I've lived in that house for 40 years. My husband passed away 22 years ago. Then I went and took care of my sister for a while. People broke into my house and that's how the stuff got all messed
up in there. the ones next door that are in jail now and all them other people that's on the back property. They're not even on my yard. They're on the city property. And then the ones that made the mess out back there and they made the mess behind
the uh 100th Street, the cops came there and we're going to arrest them and then they took all the debris and threw it in my sideyard to keep the cops from arresting them. That ain't right either what they did. I
want them off my property. They're not really on my property, but I don't want them even coming on my property anymore. You know what I'm saying? I want them removed. I don't need them. Caus me a lot of problems,
you know. Have you made any complaints to the police department about people being there that shouldn't be? >> Very rarely, but you know, they have their own differences, you know, with each other, but that has nothing to do with me. And they're all moving out
right now. They're cleaning up, too. We've been hauling stuff to the road and everything. And they're taking their tents now and they're taking them away and th away for all I care. But I am going to fix my house up nice
again. >> Does anyone reside in the house currently? >> I stay there because my brother-in-law threw me out of his mother's house and I had nowhere to go. I had to come back to the house. And every time I'd clean up a section, that's how the stuff got
stacked up like that. They took stuff. They took things and put it up against my refrigerator and everything. I had to have people come there and help me move it. That's when the dog jumped up, tried to jump over the stuff because we thought a raccoon or somebody was in there, you know, making some kind of
illusion and it was nervous, you know. So, we had I did call the police on that one. And plus they tore my front door off one time and the the city the major guy he went to Walmart and bought me that paddle lock and put it on my door.
>> A new padlock with heavy duty one. >> I have a question if you don't mind. >> Uhhuh. Officer. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Can you put the photos back up again please? Yes, >> this is the front. To the left here would be the access.
I'd say an alleyway between the pod and the north side of the house. And this would be the walkway to the front door that's padlocked. Mhm. >> Miss Jane, with all due respect, as I look at these photos, this looks like quartering to me.
>> This doesn't look like someone is taking over your property. >> Not to me. >> Yeah, it's not all mine. I can tell you that. And they have a lot on the property. It's got to go. All the tents got to go. All the junk's got to go.
>> We didn't see any pictures of tents, did we? >> No, that would be in the back. You saw that with the police photos. >> Yeah, I could pull that up. You got >> if it's on here tents in the back. >> I remember now. >> It looks like
>> So back here is where all the the backyard that she's >> saying is the city property. >> Yeah. Look at the junk all over it. >> And this is this is her backyard. This isn't city property. There's a wooden fence on the back side of all this stuff.
>> Um that is city property and it goes up to a pond that's accessible off the railroad tracks over by Meuire Road. Um but all that peeking over the fence and and seeing all all the debris. Um
the city properties back beyond that fence that you can see back there. >> So to the right of that right there, all the the mattress to the right, that's all on her property. Back behind that wood fence line is the city property she's talking about. And although they did mess it up a little bit, um it's
fairly clean except for all the rats that are running up and down that fence line right there. But yeah, that's in the backyard is where um they've been allowed to uh camp out. >> Excuse me, officer. In your time there,
have you seen anyone reside in the house? Um, not on this call specifically, uh, but when she did report a burglary to us, um, >> she was in the house. >> Yes, I was. I was scared. >> She was in the house. And, um, like I said, it was a narrow path smaller than
this through that that has door, the door of the exterior has lock. Um, and and it was basically an immediate right. you were you were funneled between junk hall a tower of junk here a tower of junk here um to one little chair uh
and I don't think that there was any there may have been electricity or maybe she's running a generator I don't know feel like there was one little light on um but but that's it there was a refrigerator that hadn't looked like it was used in years um and there was no access to the rest of the house the area
that she tried to say she saw somebody inside her house you couldn't even see pass the wall of of junk. I mean, I'm saying like probably 8 foot tall and in impassable by by law enforcement or even
like I said, not safe to even put the dog in that condition. >> Yeah. >> Um, Miss Jane, Miss Jane, >> hi. Um, how long have you been living without electricity and water? Miss Jane.
>> Yes. >> Yes. How long have you been living without electricity and water? >> Cuz them people ran my bill up $700 and I couldn't afford to pay it in the back. They tightened them my electric. I'm supposed to pay it. They didn't pay it.
But you say you're living in the property now, right? Yes. >> So well, you're living there without the electricity and running. >> I want to have it. I'm getting it on in just a few days. I'm working on that cuz I'm getting rid of all the people
that stole it. You know it. Miss Jane, um do you um do you realize that this I mean do you you see what these photos do you realize that >> would you not agree that this is a problem? >> Yeah, it's a problem. But >> and how much time do you think you would
need to be able to clear up this problem? >> Well, if the people on the outside where all the tents are and everything get rid of all their junk, then it'll be empty ground. Just be plants and stuff. And it's all done in pavers. My whole yard's paved. I paid paid put every paper down
on it. There was no dirt. There was no grass. There was flower beds and stuff like that. >> And you're talking about the backyard. >> And the whole yard of my whole house is surrounded by concrete. >> I'm telling you, we couldn't see a brick in there with all this stuff in here.
So, >> no, cuz I got all that junk on it. >> So, again, I'm going to ask my question again. How long do you think it will take you to clean up all the the debris that's around your house? >> Yeah. >> Shouldn't take too long. It's only a
tiny bit on one side and and but they threw a bunch of their junk in my yard when the cops came to put them in jail. They threw all their debris in my sideyard and still there. >> What do you consider not a lot of time? >> Huh?
>> What do you consider not a lot of time? Well, it's going to take a while to get all that out. I don't even know how to get rid of it. They threw it up in there to get from the going to jail. They should have went to jail for it. They had it all in the back of 100 street. They had the whole place dashed
all the way to the pond >> and behind it. I saw it. >> All right. Um I believe that there's other people to speak. What's that? >> Okay. Other people speaking. >> Yeah. I believe there's a Scott.
>> Yes, Scott to you. >> Scott Anderson Anderson. Yeah, >> sorry. Uh Scott, I can't read your >> Scott Anderson to South Carolina Avenue. >> Anderson. Okay. Okay. >> She's overwhelmed in in relationship to this property.
>> I just I'm I'm one I used to be I used to be a commissioner. I pretty much know the area. Um she's overwhelmed and she has a lot of homeless people back there. They're all hoarders back there. Yeah. >> And I really think she's going to need about 60 days. I talked to Jeff and Pat
over at Orlando House of Prayer. They were trying to help. But until she understands that if she doesn't do something, she's going to lose her house after 40 years. So I told her, I talked to her last week and I had um Jeff and Debbie who House of Prayer just right
down the street from them. They've been trying to talk to her, but she does not understand the impact what's going to happen if she doesn't clean that place up and she's going to need a couple dumpsters and we have a lot of sweat equity to help her get rid of it. Um I'm
we got the police chief here. Um, uh, Chief Brown and Chief Gawklin and even Chief Ruffett have has have been able to innovate, uh, ways to help with some no trespassing to get some people out of there. And maybe if she can get an advocate for the police department that
she can call and say, I have someone here because even when you guys are asking her, she's not knowing what to do. if she can just get someone that she can call and not be just a a 3100 number she can call says help me with this. Um
go Chief Gawklin was great with it. Uh Chief Brown was good with it. I remember when Chief Ruffett had these issues they just found someone to help because someone after 40 years being there. She doesn't know what you guys said about demolishing the house. My son's a
journeyman electrician. He said when it cleans it up, he'll go in there and make sure the electrical is good. Um, a friend of mine that works at Frank Gay, he'll go check out the plumbing. These are things she doesn't understand. What what you guys are doing right now, she doesn't understand. She's overwhelmed.
And all these homeless people are just there saying, "We're here to help you." But all they're doing is bringing all their junk onto her property, putting tents up there, and she thinks it's her friends. Okay? Because she has no friends. So, what I'm asking you guys as
a board to give give her another 60 days, start the penalty of $250, whatever. After the 60 days, let us try to do she let her let us try to get her cleaning that place up and having the
police department put a little bit of teeth behind it to she has an advocate with the police chief and to where they get someone in there and start moving those people out because she doesn't know who her friends are. She thinks everyone that's sleeping there is her friends. And there's probably a a
billion flies out there flying around. Um, and I brought some stuff to sprinkle out there, but she needs some help. I've done this twice already. I know it's just it's just tough and and all the calls for police and fire to go out there. If we
can just get this like this and get everyone off of there, she'll never have any more calls there. And then we can get inside the house and clean it up. And after 40 years, she might have a place to do it because even if she can't get the power in her name because at $700, we all know I could even call and
get power at Duke Energy and start it off brand new. So, she needs some she needs some help. She and she doesn't know she needs help. That's the problem, >> Mr. Anderson. >> So, I'm just asking you guys, give her 60 days. I'll get the guys at Orlando House of Prayers to help. You know,
>> we can just give her a chance. That's that's all. I don't think she knows. And talking to the code enforcement people, they've seen this all the time. And we've we've all seen this. You guys all see this. So, all I'm asking is maybe give her that. We can try to start maybe uh even Gary Crawford said he would put
a dump. He has a one of those dumpsters there. He'll put one over across the street. He already pays for it so we can start at least throwing stuff out there. And so, he's even he has a property across the street. And he the best way I can say it is Gary's a good man. Okay.
He's always been good at the property. He may be able to help her down the line so she doesn't lose the property because of what's happening with all the homeless people. >> Mr. Anderson, did I hear you say that you've done this twice at this location? I've done this twice already. >> At this same location? >> No, no, no, no, no. On on Ohio Street
and uh we did one um I did another one over on um off of Dair. So, I mean, I've done I mean, I've I've helped people. It's just I'm not looking to make any money. I'm just these are things people have. And before you guys are on the board, we've
had I remember when there was ladies with motor home, mobile homes, rain coming through, putting just living in a house with no power, rain going through the roof, and we all try to help these people. So, all I'm asking is maybe give her the 60 days and if it doesn't do it,
start the clock then. But at least give her another chance. And if it doesn't work, all we're done is wasted a little bit of time. But I promise I will help try to get some of those out. And if the police chief can get an advocate and she to where we can get some trespass, I'm
not sure how the code works for trespassing, but I think that if we just bring the canines in there because there's a lot of drugs back there. Um, I think that if we have the canines going back there as practicing their stuff, I think everyone would be out of there. >> Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Anderson. How
soon will you be able to start removing stuff? >> I think two months, 60 days. >> How soon can you start? >> I was going to start tomorrow. >> I mean, whenever you guys said I was going to talk to Gary and see if he can put one of his dumpsters, one of his things he has in front, put it in the
back there, and that way he can throw. But they just need to get their stuff out. There's people that have a lot of stuff, and you guys, the pictures you saw are not even good. Okay? If I had a picture, you'd be scared. I mean, I can walk back there through there in the
daytime. There's so much going on. And it does go on to the city property, too, on the backside. But these guys are doing their job. They're doing exactly what they have to do, but it it's an overwhelming thing. And and and Pat doesn't know, Miss Gonzalez doesn't she doesn't know she's going to lose her
house. >> All right, Mr. Anderson, does uh any of the other other board members have any other questions for Mr. Anderson? >> No. Thank you, sir. We appreciate you being here. Uh uh Miss Reyes Eugenia Reyes
>> Eugia >> she has pictures on her phone. >> You can >> and also Diana Reyes as well. >> Okay. Um either one of you come up to the mic, speak your name and
>> tell us your story. My name is Eugeneia Rees and I we live I am her mom. We live um I don't know

from your calls to your home. Are those cards reflecting? >> Every time you go, every time an officer responds, it's a it's a call note and this they give them a a call card that they have been it has the code number >> and this is number >> and this is within the last two months.
>> Yeah. Well, I had >> I don't have the dates on it. >> I have the case numbers. >> Just the case numbers. Okay. >> And the last sorry and almost two months. The last time I called the police, they they jail somebody. The guy start his car and pull the car over me.
They the guy crash with the tree, the big tree. Yeah, I don't move. They crash me. Why? Because I was walking for the last three. I was walking with my dog and he was high crazy and he just started his
car and pulled his car over me to crash me. That I'm sorry. I feel sorry for a boy. I feel sorry for my mom. I feel sorry for me because we honor the house and you know we try to live like person not like that kind delinquent live there. >> All right. Thank you. >> I'm sorry.
>> Yeah. I'm sorry you had to experience all that. >> Um do any of the other board members have any other questions for either the Reyes? >> No. I believe that's it for the speakers this evening on >> I have a question for the attorney.
>> I have a question for the attorney. Um, my understanding is the city's asking for 30 days or $250 fine for each day it's not in compliance, but then they're asking for under section 10835 the public nuisance that the property be demolished.
If they're asking for the 30 days and a fine after that, when does the property get demolished? How does it work from what he's asking? >> We can clarify that. But I I think what you're requesting is the the time frame
for uh curing the violations and then if that does not happen at that point, you would want to revisit the the concept of demolish. Correct. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Yes. So, I think my recommendation at this point would be whatever days and
time frame the board determines is appropriate to help with the cleanup, but then we want it to be considered at the next meeting or whenever that would be the potential to demolish if this is something that the homeowner is not able to get under control.
>> So, I'm not sure your answer. Maybe I'm not understanding you. We're saying 30 days or 60 days, whatever the date is. >> Yes. >> And after that, a fine of $250 until they come into compliance. >> Correct. >> They would then come back and ask for it
to be demolished because it seemed like he asked for it all as once. So, I'm trying to determine if you're saying 30 days to come into compliance, then you can say or a fine if you're going to demolish. >> Right. So, we would need to clarify the
the request on the record just so that it's clear. But my understanding of what you're requesting at this point is the 30 or 60 days based on whatever you all are deciding from the public comment today with the fine is what we would
vote on and pass for today. Um acknowledging that there's some significant issues here that need to be cleaned up and some significant action that needs to start to be taken. If we go another 30 or 60 days and we come back and that has not started and
there's not been any action taken place, I think at that point is what the officers are asking at, we would consider then the demolish. If the homeowner is undertaking some of these actions and getting the help that's needed to start to clear the debris and really making some movement towards
cleaning all of this up, then we would most likely take that off the table as a consideration. So that would actually be for a separate meeting, the demo part. >> Yeah. And again, as long as they remediate you, >> you can clarify, but that that's my understanding of what's being requested.
>> So then it would be two different requests. This request would be either 30 or 60 days with a fine until they come into compliance and then they would have to come back for subsequent time regarding it being demolished. If they were, >> depending on what takes place over the next 30 or 60 days,
>> not as he had it presented. >> Correct. >> Okay. All right. All right. Board, I've heard everything. We need to make a motion on this. >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion.
>> Yes, member Whittle. >> I move that in the case 20260054, the respondent be found in violation of code as >> 0854. >> 85, I'm sorry. Um, I'll start again. I'll move that in case 202600854,
respondent be found in violation of code as cited for a compliance date of May 20th of 26 and be given 30 days until July 18th. Uh, to come into compliance would be fined 250 today per violation until
found in compliance. >> Second. We have a motion on the board made by member Whittle and seconded by Vice Chair Lewis that in case number 2026-0000854 that the respondent be found in
violation as of the compliance date May 20th 2026 and be given 30 days and that would be July 18th 2026 to come into compliance or be fined
$250 per day as long as uh for each violation as long as they remain u in effect. Uh any discussion about that? >> I have a discussion that I would like to table. >> Yeah. >> Um I find it
it's not going to be 30 days is not going to be long enough. That's my concern that in 30 days this place is not going to be cleaned up. 30 days is not a long time. That's just
my concern. >> I agree with the concern. I would say that based on the representations um the gentleman that spoke, I don't remember his name, >> Mr. Mr. Anderson. >> Mr. Anderson and they try to get an advocate in the police department and
the assistance based on the other part of the recommendation. the city would have to come back to us to make a determination as far as if they've made any motion or any movement forward, >> okay, >> to get the situation better. Um, so
>> it would be a matter of while I'm hearing that he's saying that he's willing to volunteer and there's some other people. >> Mhm. >> If we set a timeline and there is movement, then it will certainly be up to code enforcement to go and see if there's movement. And if there's
movement in a positive direction to make some type of change, I think the longer period that we give, while I agree, it seems like it's going to need a substantial amount of time, >> at least in 60 days, >> then I think numerous people have to step up. So, >> so member Warren, what I hear you saying
is that um the 30 days is on the table and if there's movement that this place is starting to become better and cleaned, then they can come back and request for an additional 30 days. That would be up to the code of enforcement because it says $250 based on what I
heard the attorney said >> um as far as what was originally presented because they talked about demolition and my understanding is if there is some type of movement and they see some movement they could come back
and make some representation before the board. Is that my that is my understanding? Correct. >> Is that correct? I'm going to speak freely. I have no problem 60 days whatsoever.
But the problem is you don't realize the intensity that these people have. There is not five people going back and forth back there. I apologize. There's not eight. There's more like 30.
and 40. And they walk through her front yard to get to the back while she sits there and sees it. And the odd thing about it is they could walk another 50 yards around to a pathway that walks around the the destroyed house that's
next to her and get in the back. And when they go in and out of her yard, I can't prove it, but I guarantee you they're snatching stuff from stores, stolen goods, there's definitely drugs. They're definitely drugs back there. It's It's not healthy for her
or the people who live next to them. It's crazy. 60 days, that's fine. I guarantee you it's probably not going to happen. >> The recommendation, >> but I would I would be willing to say go for 60 days. >> Your recommendation was 30 days.
>> It was 30, but if you feel 60 is better, then we can do the 60. But someone is willing to help clean the clean. >> Well, the resources I don't believe the city has the resources at this time. I don't know. >> Well, someone is willing to help move
the stuff. >> I guess Mr. Anderson has >> Yeah, he's willing to help move the stuff. >> Excuse me, board. May I cut in? >> As is police chief. Um, thank you, Officer Katie. This is an egregious case as we can tell. >> And I do understand that 30 days is not
enough. in 60 days. But I don't want to sit and put the whole ownership on the police department or somebody else. She does have to come forth. Uh the question was asked earlier, uh have you called the police? And she says very rarely. >> Yeah. >> She has to call us and let us know I
want this warning, trespass warning on people from our property. I can also get our victim advocate involved as was uh stated earlier, but she has to be willing. Mr. Anderson said that this has been going on for previous chiefs. This is nothing new to her. So this has
accumulated over time and it has to stop. So 60 days it needs to be a hard cut off because 60 would turn into 90. 90 would turn into 6 months. >> And I think we've heard cases that this has gone forth. But I just wanted to uh just relay that we are willing to get
our victim advocate involved >> and see what services that are out there for her. Uh but she has to do her part as well. >> And that's why I believe that the 30 days or because with the people passing through, we have some neighbors said that they burned they poisoned her dog
or they burned her fence or there's a fire going on. They probably won't start to do anything until day 58. >> Yeah. >> So, you know, >> and unfortunately, we don't have an officer to sit there all the time to regulate who comes by. We have to get that call. >> So, but I just wanted to convey that.
>> Thank you, Chief. But she chief, she has to be the one to call you, right? >> She has to be the one to call us. >> How is she going to call with no electricity? >> She I don't know how what what she has what communication. >> I'm sorry. >> Okay. So, she has called. I don't know
if she has her cell phone or whoever. >> Yeah. And we're also talking about a house that has m much debris inside. So, we're looking at a hazard until it is done. Right. >> It is a hazard. But again, as as was previously mentioned, whatever the board decides, >> we are we are willing to go with it and
do our part within that time frame. >> But again, like I said, we are willing to do our part, but she has to be willing to do hers as well. >> That's true. >> You know, I hate to say this, but I I actually want to ask Mr. Anderson a question. >> Mr. Anderson, what kind of dent do you
think you can put into this in 30 days? I just >> the biggest thing the biggest thing that I think we need to do as a dentist is is have all the people offered property >> they go through there's so many people going through there just like they said if we can get the people offered
property and get them to take their stuff and no one and even if we have to trespass them if we can do that she doesn't know this this is the problem as much as we can look at her and she's sitting there half the time she if I walk by her sometimes she don't even know who I am. So, I think it's it's
just one of those things to where she's overwhelmed and we need to do whatever. If it's 30 days, fine. It But I think that what we have to do is get the people off the property, get all the tents out there. And if the if she just wants to have a whatever you want to
call um the officers come out there and just do a healthy once in a while do a healthy check, you guys have done a great job. So, you know, whatever you can do to get on the property there, none of those people want to be there if the police are there or the fire there. So, she just doesn't know.
>> I just want to let him understand what a trespass is. Again, she has the call. We cannot just walk up there >> and get people off that she's allowed to be on the property. >> So, if she doesn't want them off, we can't make them go again. We'll do our part, but she has to do ours.
>> Yeah. So, we're just going to make >> she has to do hers. Well, we'll put the police chief on speed now. >> Okay. All right. We We can go ahead and >> council. >> Can we do like a third a day six like a
third of day check six day final? How do you how would we propose that? Cuz I agree with Chief the hard stop like fines at six day but we also have to provide that impetus like you don't wait until sixth day and then day 58 where you haven't done anything. Sure. >> Paul can >> you can do a continuous and then, you
know, kick it to the next meeting. And if that's the case, we'll see what what's been done. >> Yeah, you could you could make a motion to uh kick this to the next uh continue it to the next agenda. Um you can set some sort of milestone if you want for
progress. um you know, even as simple as just saying that you want to see progress being made towards um uh cleaning up these violations within the next 30 days and then we'll have it on the agenda for the next meeting so that we can revisit where
she's at with her progress and you can make a decision at that point if you want to continue to allow additional time to get these. >> I I think waiting waiting 60 days is too long, but 30 days we know is too short, but we have to see something being done. I I think that's reasonable for the for
the board to do in this situation. >> I'll make a motion. >> Yeah. Well, we do vote on it, so >> we'll um you know, the motion it was seconded, but but we didn't vote on it, so it's kind of null and void at this
point. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Um >> uh >> Miss Brown, member Brown, sorry. Yes, sir. I'll make a motion that we put it on the next agenda and revisit it for 30
days out to see how much progress has been made. Is that what I'm >> I think the board should still move to find her in violation. um because she is in if that's the board's determination based on what's
been heard this evening that she is in violation and provide uh 30 days uh to begin to comply um and to continue this to the next agenda. >> Okay, I'll let someone else make an
>> All right. Um so I'm make this one up. So chairman, I have a a motion. >> Yes, member Schultz. I move that in case number 2026- 00854, the defendant be found in violation of
the codes as cited as of May 20, 2026 and be given until July 18th, 2026 to be found and comply >> for this case to be continued at the uh
next board meeting. >> I second. >> Yes. >> All right. >> Yeah, I'm going to try to repeat this one. >> So, we we found guilt. Okay, I can say it again. Um the the I move that in case
2026-00854 the respondent be found in violation of the codes decided as of May 20th 2026 and the case be continued until the July
>> 16th >> 2026 board meeting. >> That's clearer. >> Yes. I second it. >> We're not ordering at this point. >> That's up to the board. I mean, that's
that's part of the board's consideration. I I think if I'm hearing you all correctly, you want to provide some time, a 30-day time frame to start to come into compliance because no one feels that that's s sufficient time to
comply. And then we will continue this to the next agenda to see how progress is being made and make additional determinations at that point as to additional time needed and at what point those fines will be assessed. >> Oh, 60 days is fines.
>> Okay. >> And that and so at the next agenda maybe you determine that she'll have an additional 30 days and at that point you you have the fine. So, >> but you could also set a fine now and if
she's making progress, we could suspend that fine also, right? >> Uh well, once the the order is in place and the fine Yes. If because if she doesn't comply and we visit that in the next Yes. Correct.
But once the fine is ordered is and and a date is set, then the fine is after that date. So it would be set. >> Correct. But once the f it's once it's recorded is when you're not able to go and revisit that. So it if you want to
put the fine in place to be assessed after 60 days if there is not compliance we can go ahead the board can go ahead and make that determination now. If you want to wait to revisit the idea of the fine and what that will be and the time
frame for that we can do that when you continue it to the next agenda. So, I am I'm going to make a suggestion since you have to make the initial motion that uh I think you should
continue this to the next meeting >> and see what gets done in the next 30 days because at that meeting we can decide whether or not we want to give her 15 days or 30 days if if they're making progress and if they're not then,
you know, we can change the fine amounts, we can increase the fine amounts, we can shorten the time, we can do pretty much so anything that we can. But I I think the general consensus of this board is that, you know, trying to be somewhat compassionate and understand
we don't want to see anybody, one of our fellow COE residents lose their home, but there's a problem >> and and and you know, the officers are it said it's dangerous. The neighbors said it's dangerous. So there has to be action in the next 30 days.
>> So So that's it. So do we need to set to be found in violation right now to start setting the f. So I think we need to be suggest that if the board is inclined to find violations have occurred that we need to go ahead and make the motion and
place states that that everyone votes on. And at that point, we all understand that there are violations in place that need to be addressed and we will uh continue this to the next agenda to
determine progress towards clearing the violations and at that time we can make additional determinations about time and fines. >> Do we have to determine or identify what progress looks like? Because looking at
these pictures, you know, The one officer said an 8ft wall, you know, basically can't see around. What What would we define as progress? >> It's not a determination that you would be required to make tonight to define
that. Um, it's certainly something that you can consider at the next hearing depending on what information is presented by the officers and whoever else is present at that meeting to speak and present that. it. We don't have to set those parameters this evening if the
board is not inclined to do that. >> So, compliant of violation. >> So, you're going to have to uh >> I'm working. Hold on. >> I um want to say something. Um member Warren, I think you're right. What does progress
look like? Yeah, >> I think progress should look like cleaning up running water and electricity in 30 days.
>> That's what I think progress looks like. >> It should be some type of benchmark or else we're going to be in the same position in 30 days. And this is something that's been going on for quite a while. >> Yeah. Because that uh no running water
and electricity, that's also a concern for her health. >> Vice Chair, unless you want to come. >> Yes. I think I'm going to You want to say something too? >> I was going for 30 days. >> Say something. >> Um, excuse me, board. Uh, you just brought up a valid point. Now, if there
is no running water and electricity, >> how are we going to allow someone to stay in that >> stand? Yeah. >> Uh, I think it was spoke to earlier that there are two accounts lectures saying water. Neither one of them are on. >> Correct. And the meter has been pulled
according to the water department. >> Electric. >> Electric. >> Electric is there but disconnected. Water has been pulled. >> Right. >> So that >> so the meter is still in place. It's just not it's got it's not >> Yeah. So it's not it's not going >> you can't get water. You still can't get water.
>> So just please take that into consideration. We're putting someone in a >> who has a home but is in a homeless condition, right? All right, >> I'm ready to entertain a motion. >> All right,
Mr. Chair, let's table my the previous motion. Let's try this again. >> Okay, member Schultz. I move that in case number 2026-0000854, the defendant be found in violation of the codes as cited
and the case be continued to the July 16 court enforcement board where the board shall assess improvements that have been made including but not limited to running water,
functioning electricity and the reasonable, clean, clear living environment, at which time we can reassess if progress has been made and how the board moves forward. >> I second that motion. That's it.
>> All right. We've have a motion on the floor and by member Schultz, seconded by member Brown, that in case number 2026-0000854 that the respondent be found in violation of the two codes of cited
and to continue this case to the next meeting of the code enforcement board which is July 16, 2026. six and use the following benchmarks to
assess the improvement of the property with including water, electric >> and a clean and clear living space. Any discussion? Um, I I want to make it
clear that when I put the motion forward initially, it was for making sure that not only the house has an opportunity, but the neighbors have safety involved. I don't think that we're moving in the right direction to embrace the safety
that's needed in this circumstance, both for the inhabitant as well as for neighbors. Um, I know it's it's it's probably very hard to sit and think like we're being um lacking empathy for a resident of the
city. Uh, I think we're overlooking the impact it has on that community. And I think by not having a fine and having clear dates because what we're talking about is very um subjective, right? having power turned on and water running
doesn't doesn't clean up the property. It doesn't make the property viable as it should. So, I I don't know if we're going in the right direction here, quite honestly. I think it's a partial step, but not the right step.
>> I think those are components that are needed to make the home vibrant. Electricity and the water, you got to have water to clean and you got to have power to run the equipment and stuff. So >> and per the if I'm not correct by being found in violation we have the right to
come back to any day to assess the fine and by setting a benchmark of what a clean living environment removes especially on the exterior you know the reasonable assumption of what a a clean a clean environment is. So
>> yeah, but we're in the summer now, so it's going to be hotter, right? So the power and the water are on now. Uh I don't know how soon power and water would even be turned on. Um do we have somebody here from the House of Prayer to talk about what steps they're going
to take to help clean up the property because it's not going to happen overnight either, right? >> No. >> Is is there somebody here that's going to say House of Prayer is going to be there? >> Assessed. They I told them I was coming. So they said I talked on their behalf.
>> I really think what's happening should >> I really think what's happening is why there's no meter. It's probably the homeless were probably trying to hack into you know the power the meter and probably the same thing with the the water meter. So I think that getting those people off the property is going
to be the biggest thing because then she's there by herself and no one's t trying to turn on meters. So I think that's the biggest thing and getting all the people off the property. >> There's these people right are be safe and secure by getting the people off her property. They're not going to be there
anymore. >> And and getting the people off isn't the code enforcements. That's not our task. Our task is >> that's where the owner has to call us and request that people be off of her property. >> She understands that. >> I see one of the neighbors has their hand raised. But you have
>> we we keep saying that if she understands that we've had a victim advocate already reach out to her and she told our victim advocate she didn't want help. So I I we keep doing it understanding and this case is going on forever. We're kicking this down the road.
>> But I think it's we need to really this is an egregious case but she needs to we we're here to help. We're not here to kick anybody out of abandon but we need to have a clear defined which >> we need to revisit this and see what has been cleaned up that way we can move
forward we come back in 30 days if it's not >> cheap I think a fair assessment >> yeah we we can go on but >> we we'll go from there >> we go and so and then you know to be very clear the code enforcement board is assigning fines based on what on the
activity and we we we can't tell her what to do we can say what needs to be done on on the outside for the people in the area. As for the um the respondent not calling the police, that's a totally different
um group than than us. >> We're saying as code enforcement, correct? >> Here are the violations. >> You've been found You've been found in violation. >> Not assessing the fine yet. Give you 60 days. >> Right. But but to say but uh for

officer notified by web form of the property located at 708 Snowden Street to be in violation of the following city code 51-13 permit required. On March 23rd, I verified the property owner to be Philip
Enterprises LLC as confirmed by the Orange County Property Appraiser. A notice of the violation was posted on property and sent by way of certified mail. The property owner was given until May 15, 26 to correct the violation. On
May 18th, the property was reinspected and found non-compliant with code as cited. On June 4th, 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 remains in violation of city
code 51-13. Permit required. I have made contact with representative of the owner, Mr. Kelton Butler, on April 23rd. Mr. Buster stated he had been trying to obtain a permit and has as of now has
still has not obtained the permit. As of today, a permit has been applied for in the city offices and it's still under review. Uh if uh if the uh complaint I'm sorry,
if the owner does not come within in compliance of the city code, uh city's asking for a $250 fine 30 days. And I'll show you the the evidence. This the posting on the front door of
the NO. In the back, you can see the top of the wooden fence. You can see the structure being added. Again, another picture of the structure being added on the back of the fence there. Okay.
Any other questions for the officer? I understand that we have two people here speaking this evening. Mr. Butler, you here? first. >> Uh, well, I have a Philip Hicks.
>> It doesn't. Who's who wants to go first? >> And I >> Yeah, sure. >> Mr. Hicks is the owner of the property. >> Understood. >> Excuse me. Could you post the violations cuz I don't have the sheet for this particular case? >> It's Yeah. >> Could you take a look at it? >> Yeah.
>> The the main page. >> Yeah. >> So, whoever is going to speak first, um, tell us your name. name is Philip Hicks from Enterprise. >> Mr. Hicks. All right. Owner of the property. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Go ahead, sir.
>> Uh, I purchased this property with an extension on it. And when it came to my attention that it wasn't legal, uh, Mr. Butler tried to help me to get a permit. Um, there was some difficulty, but I finally get by to apply for a
permit and it's on pending right now with the city of Okoi. So, it's in the permitting process right now. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> And I would like to ask, >> did you get any any Go ahead. Sorry, F. >> Yeah. And um right now it's under
review. That's uh it's been applied for about two weeks now. And from previous engagement with the city, I would like to ask for 60 days to bring this property into compliance because it will take a process of
inspections, electrical, plumbing, roofing, and that will take some time to get it done. >> I understand. It looks like you're only looking This is the violation is just for the permit. So once you get the permit, you're good to go.
>> Correct. >> After I get a permit, then I have to get inspections. But this is just for the permit. Doesn't have anything to say about inspections. >> Okay. >> So 30 days should be more than enough to get a permit >> to get. Yes, sir. >> Okay. All right. Uh any any other
topics? >> Mr. um Hicks. Nothing. >> No, sir. >> All right. Mr. Butler, please. >> Uh yep. Uh Kel Butler, 20 Lafayette Street, just for the record. Um, yeah, I did speak with uh I spoke with officer
Katie on u uh April, the end of April. Anyway, to clear it to clear it up why it's taken so long. Um, I've helped Mr. Hicks, good friend of mine, neighbors from down the road here around the corner. Um, the reason it's taken a little bit longer is because I I originally helped them on some permits,
but on this recent one, I'm I recently um uh I recently left my old uh old company I was with and started a new OLC. So, I'm in the process of transferring my license from the um from my old from my old company to uh my new OLC. So, that's why, you know, we've
we've uh taken uh a little bit longer than u than expected, but we do appreciate um your understanding. Um, I can speak on behalf of uh of Mr. Hicks here. He's got five or six properties between Lafayette, Magnolia and and if you've seen him before before he's got a
hold of him, you know the great work he's done and he loves this uh city. So, we just we ask for your cons consideration. We appreciate it. Thank you for your time. >> Mr. Putler, do you see any reason why a permit should not be issued in the next 30 days?
>> Uh, I think 30 days um 30 days should be good. I was uh a bit um a bit confused there. I I thought it was 30 days uh to like he said for inspections and everything, but if it's just 30 days for the permit to be issued, I think we're good there.
>> Just to clarify that, that's Mr. uh Officer Katie, is that right? It's just the permit. Correct. >> To the best of my knowledge. Yes. >> Yes, sir. That's what it looks like. >> We also have somebody here from the development uh services and he has information on the process of the
permit. Okay. And speak your name and and how you relate to this case. >> Yeah, absolutely. My name is Brett McFarland, uh development services department with the city of Akoi. Uh just to provide some clarification, um as they've stated, the permit was applied for um there was actually a
separate permit that was applied for at an earlier date. However, that one seemingly was abandoned and a new permit was applied for um looks like on June 9th, 2026. The permit's been routed for review with all the applicable reviewers. Um, looks like currently it
has been approved with the electrical reviewer. It's still waiting uh review with the mechanical reviewer, which is your HBAC. Um, engineering is still looking at it. However, it has been rejected by our zoning uh reviewer and our building reviewer with some various comments um things that they need to
address in a resubmitt. So, uh, that'll come back, um, and the applicant can can reapply, uh, addressing those comments. Our typical review time for residential permits in our building division is about 5 to 10 business days. So, we turn them around relatively quickly and the
applicant is welcome to reach out to any of our reviewers at any time and uh, get additional clarification if need be. >> Thank you. Appreciate that insight. But excuse me, what you're what you're talking about is inspecting the permit
system, right? That that has somewhat maybe failed those areas. So, they do have a permit. >> So, they do not have a permit currently. The way that our our permitting uh works is once an applicant applies for a permit, it has to be reviewed by all of the applicable reviewers, which in this
case, because it's an addition to a property to an existing structure, it has to undergo your regular MEP or mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, as well as engineering, zoning, and building. Um, a couple of those reviews have been completed and approved.
However, a couple of them have been uh rejected. So what they have to do is respond to the reviews that have received rejections and then resubmit the permit for consideration. So after everybody's review is approved, the
permit goes to a a approved status and then they need to pay any applicable fees for the permit. Um after those fees have been paid, the permit is then issued to the applicant. At that point, the permit has been issued and they have a permit in hand to technically begin
the construction. Because this is a after-act permit, um they should not be doing any construction currently. Uh our building department would have issued a stop work order. Um making sure that they're not continuing with construction. Um but yes, the permit has
been applied for, but it has not been issued to them. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So, and if I understand you, gentlemen, correctly. Yes sir. >> He has other properties where he's done building before. So he knows the permit process then. >> So he knows that this should have been
done up front. >> We are aware of the process. Yes sir. >> Okay. All right. >> So okay. Thank you. Any other questions members? Uh for anybody? No. And then I will entertain a motion. >> Mr. Mr. Chairman, I'd like to make a
motion. >> Yes. Uh, member Wilson. >> Okay. I request uh that in case number 20 uh 2026-00862.
>> Excuse me for Maya. Can you put that back up because we don't have that piece of paper? >> Oh, it's right there. Sorry, I didn't look in that room. >> Yeah, it was. >> Well, mine was and then it it's gone now. >> Yes, it's gone. >> Okay. I don't know who's working the

Officer Leler, city of Vakoi, code enforcement. Case number 01234 is 1,00 Fluwelling Avenue on April 17th, 2026. This officer did observe a room addition added to the side of the home in a
almost completed status. Nobody was home at the time, so a stop work order and a violation notice were issued and posted at the location and sent certified service to the property owners Marcio Gomez Learnardo and Perez Gomez
Herinda for violation of city ordinance 15-13 51-13 permits required. The notice provided 30 days for the property owner to stop work, remove the unpermitted construction
or obtain a required issued inpossession permit from the Akoi building department. On May 19th, the violation was reinspected. Portions of the construction remained. Most of the walls and windows that were erected had been removed.
On June 4th, 2026, a hearing notice to this meeting was posted at the location in city hall and sent out certified service. At the time of this posting, the unpre unpermitted room became a carport-like storage area. It still had
a roof and a beam type carport without a permit. And I have some exhibits scrolling along here somewhere. There we go. And up top right is the uh violation notice and the stop work order and the notice of hearing postings.
And that's the room on the top left as it was originally found with windows and doors. At this time it is a carport now without any walls but still requires a permit. The city's recommending a 15-day
compliance time frame to remove the structure or forfeit $250 per day for every day not in compliance with any issued orders. No attempt has been made to apply for a permit. The only thing that has been done was the walls and everything we removed. The roof
structure just needs to come down. The vehicle, that white vehicle, is it parked like on the grass? Isn't that a violation to it? >> The white ve the white van. >> That is correct. I think that was there because of the construction on the room.
It's not there anymore. >> Oh, okay. Any other questions for officer Laughler? >> All right. I'll entertain a motion. >> Okay, Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion.

same date, a violation notice was posted at the location and sent certified service to the owner Harry Melendez in Puerto Rico as identified by Orange County official records for violation of ordinance 115-3A 3 andB regarding the old couch and the

notice to this meeting was posted at the location, sent certified service, and posted at the city hall lobby. As of this date, the property remains non-compliant. The city's recommending a compliance time frame of 15 days and a fine amount
of $250 per day for every day not in compliance with any issued orders. Additionally, the city would like a provision to abate the nuisance if it so chooses with the cost recorded as a lean. I've had no contact with the owner.
However, historically, I've had a lot of contact with the owner on previous actions and he had no problem getting his information in Puerto Rico. But this case, I have had no contact. Officer Laughler, I have a question for you relating to um the violations. Are
those considered two separate violations or are they considered one? >> In this case, one violation and the uh so we can abate them together if we so choose to do it. >> Understood. Just curious about the fine amount. >> So the 250 covers both. >> Yes, sir.

skirting missing from a modular home exposing the plumbing and wiring to the elements and wildlife and visible. On the same date, a violation notice was posted at the location and sent out certified service to the property owner RSR Asset
Investments of Akoi, Florida for violation of ordinances 115-3A3 regarding the drunken debris debris and 10823 BNC regarding the missing skirting. The notice provided until May 28th to
install new skirting as described within the code and to remove the junk and debris. The second part of 10823B and C. The C part describes the type of material that's required. The actual violations is 10823B.
I included C on the notice so that the respondent would know you can't just put plywood up there. On May 29th, reinspection revealed non-compliance with the codes as cited. On June 4th, a notice of hearing to this
meeting was posted at the location in the city hall lobby and sent certified service. As of this date, the junk and debris is gone and no longer in violation. However, all the skirting is still missing. The city is recommending a compliance time frame of 15 days with
a fine amount of $250 per day for every day not in compliance with any issued orders. And this is only for the violation of 10823B. And in the exhibits here, that was the pile debris. The vehicle was originally included but
it was removed before as I was posting. >> Okay. Any other questions for the officer? >> So the remaining violation is to put back proper material. >> Yes. The the uh skirting. >> If there's no other questions,

Thank you. And thank you staff. It's after 9:30. It's a rough one today. >> All right. Member Whittle. >> Oh, okay. Um, welcome to our new board members. >> Thank you. >> Great fresh um insights and everything
you bring to the table. I I do want to make a a a observation too is that I I believe empathy is at the core of why this board exists. You know, we're here to listen to all sides both the people who are in front of us who are subject
to getting um a violation or fine and we've got people who are their neighbors that are um affected by their lack of behavior or lack of action. So when I think about when we make decisions, I hope we can make decisions based on the
safety of not just the people before us, but the people we don't see, the people we represent here in the city. That includes the code enforcement officers that have to go by their these residences, that includes the police, that includes the fire department, that
includes anyone involved in this. And I just hope that the safety for the folks who live in these dwellings that are out of code um don't fall into a situation where safety has impacted anyone else. So we're evaluating things as fairly as
we can. That's it. >> And oh, one more thing. So I think when we have a um a motion that is seconded, we should have a vote on it. It shouldn't just die in the vine. We should move forward with having a decision one way or the other. Right. >> Okay.
>> Duly noted. Vice Chair Lewis, >> I'd like to welcome our two new members, uh, member Wilson and member Brown. Thank you. >> And our, um, new attorney, Ernie Burton. I think, uh, having a full board is really going to benefit us all. uh we
should not have any quorum issues and I think we are all serving the citizenry of Koi best of our ability with compassion and as member Whittle just said looking out for the other people
that are not necessarily before us but the neighbors of those individuals. So, um, we've had some sad situations tonight, but also we see that it impacts other people other than the people
before us. And I agree that we try to look at the entire picture. And certainly the code enforcement officers are the ones that see it. Police department, fire department, see what we don't see. But um there's always
two sides to every story and we have to consider the stories that we're not hearing, which is the neighbors that aren't present. And it takes a lot for neighbors to sometimes show up. Um because
just human instinct, people say, "Well, you came and you testified against me." So I think we should always take that into account when we deliberate these cases. And again, I welcome the two new members. Welcome asset to us and uh looking forward to working with you both
and with the attorney. >> All right. Thank you, Vice Chair Lewis. Uh member Wilson. >> Yes. Um short welcome.
your first time here just as I am and I look forward in just serving the folks the city of Foy. >> Perfect. >> Member Brown. >> Sure. I would just like to say thank you to everyone here for allowing me to
bring my gifts and talents to this board. >> Maya, any questions? Sergeant Rodriguez. Well, just to echo everyone, I want to welcome the new board members. Great um great to meet you all. I'm very happy that we have a new attorney on board. We
can go ahead and um get a lot of information and feedback from her. I also want to thank uh Mr. McFarland back there for coming in and um verifying like permits and things of that nature to help us move some of these things along for when people come up and they
want to talk about their cases and say, "Well, I have a permit." when now we have someone that's able to come and verify that or see the problems that they may have with their pro with their uh permits. Um, I also want to thank the chief of police. I mean, he's always a very busy man. I'm glad he was here
tonight to to to watch the board in in action. >> All right. >> I apologize. I should say thank you, Chief, because we don't see you often. Thank you very much. >> Eli, he just wants to take that lowkey position back there. He doesn't want to
be the point of attack all the time, you know. So, >> be careful since your number will be on speed dial. >> Officer Laughler, >> no comments. >> No comments. >> All right. Officer Katie, >> any comments this evening?
>> No, sir. >> Yes. >> Sorry to hold you all up. >> That's That's quite all right. Uh, Chief, you're here. Any comments? >> I'll make it brief. Uh we've had a long docket tonight. A lot of decisions were made uh that had to be made and and I am
uh happy to see the direction that this board is going, you know, so I'm looking forward to it and I will yield the rest of my time to Sarah. >> Counselor. >> Thank you. Yeah, thank you everyone. I'm welcome to the new members. Um but also just looking forward to working with the
board. um providing guidance and counsel as best I can along the way as you guys tackle some of these decisions. Obviously, we had a tough one right off the bat here this evening, but um great job with everyone considering all the different issues to be considered. And
again, I just look forward to working with you all and and moving things forward for the city. >> Thank you. U Mr. McFarland, would you have any comments this evening? >> No, other than that, I'm happy to be Are you going to be with us on a regular
basis? >> Uh either myself or our director will be present. >> All right. Thank you. We appreciate you being here. >> All right. Okay. I guess that leaves that to me. So, all right. New members, thank you for volunteering your time to
be on this board. And I love the fact that you guys jumped right in first meeting. That's awesome. I love it. U that just makes us a better board all the way around. All right. Uh counselor, we love to have you here. I'm glad to hear that you're going to be with us for a while. Uh we went through a couple,
but I think you're going to think you got some stand. >> You haven't scared me away yet. >> Not not yet. Give it time. Anyways, um all right, Chief, glad you're here. Thank you for being here. Uh and obviously, uh Sergeant Rodriguez, he does a great job. We appreciate him
being here as well. Uh, and of course Maya down here at the end. She's awesome. So, >> the reminders >> with the reminders. You got the message sent, right? Okay. All right. Even if you had to print them yourself, it's so good. Um, uh, all I can say is that uh
