with no license tag parked on the front sideyard. Additionally, two AOE waste cans were positioned behind the truck to partially conceal the missing license plate, resulting in prohibited wast waste can location during non-collection
time frames. On the same date, a violation notice was posted at the location and sent out certified service to the owner, Chen Chang Ted, as identified on official county records for violation of 165-3A
regarding the inoperable truck and 143-27 regarding the waste can locations. The notice provided until October 22nd to comply with the code as cited. On October 23, 2025, reinspection found
the property non-compliant with the codes as cited. On October 23, on uh December 4th, a notice to this hearing was posted at the location in the city hall lobby and sent out certified service for this hearing date.
On the same day, an occupant called me on the phone and assured me the truck would be removed before the hearing date. Unfortunately, the truck is still there. However, the waste cans have been removed back to their correct position.
So, the only violation we're dealing with right now is 165-3A. The city's requesting a 15day time frame or forfeit $100 per day for the violation of 165-3.

>> Good evening everyone. Uh, it has been my intention to uh, make it to these meetings, but it always some seemed that something would come up and today was just a day that I was not uh, my calendar was not full. So, I was like, let me go to this board. But, in 2026, I do intend to make more of these
meetings. Well, we'll be happy to have you. Thank you very much, >> mayor. >> Well, I wanted to take a few minutes and come by and speak to you. As a commission u and the chambers, we talk about the coding issues. We've got a lot
of problems in the city. One of the things I think we got to do, we've got to up the enforcement of of the problems. If we don't, we're not going to solve any of the problems. Just like with this this this truck, I know where it's at. I've seen it sits there for all this time and then now
he's extended into January. So my my thought process is we've got to put more heat if you want to say it and more pressure people to take a little interest in their homes and their what it is for the neighbors. It's worse on the neighbors than it is to the other
people. So the code issues to me is we've got to stricken strict them a little more than what we got them and make them a little tougher to do it. you you give them a little leeway and they just keep moving the leeway. So, I I I just want to tell you, I know it's it's
sometimes you sit there and you wonder if you want to find somebody. Listen, if they're not going to fix the place up, we're not helping them but not doing something to it. So, we've got to make sure we do that. So, once again, thank you for your time, your service. We appreciate it. But I just want to say
merry Christmas and happy holidays. >> Thank you very much, Mayor. We appreciate that. So, um I guess it's up to me and you know I'm I'm never short on words. So, I've got a couple things that I I want to say. Um we our board
started out a little rocky at the beginning of this year and uh I want to I want to put a special thanks out to the mayor because uh and and the chief. I appreciate you both being here and uh I realize that um I I've been to some of
the meetings that you were chairing and uh I know what kind of pressures you're under and and I really appreciate you guys sticking behind this board. We have uh I've been on the board uh on the Koi code enforcement board I believe six
years at least now. Uh and uh I will tell you this is a this is a very good board. you have a very good diverse people on here with with ideas and and uh you know we are members of this of this community just like you folks are.
So we do want to see things you know you know cleaned up and you know we do want you know our neighbors to uh know that we're here for them but also that you know we're here for all the neighbors. All right. So, um, yeah, I appreciate the words you said, Mayor, but, uh, you
know, we'll, uh, we'll keep that in mind in our in our rulings of the board. So, again, I wanted to take, uh, thanks out to you folks for, uh, believing in this board and keeping us together. And, uh, we're going to do good things in 2026. Uh, for me personally, um, I I wish you
all a very very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Uh, it's it's crazy to think we're they're already entering in 2026 already. This year goes by. so fast. So, um with that being said, meeting adjourned.
