The notice provided till 12225 to correct violation. On 122325, the property was reinspected and found in non-compliance. On 21926, a statement of hearing notice to this meeting was posted at the location and
posted in city hall and sent certified delivery. As of today, the violation still stands. The city the city is recommending a 30-day compliance or $150 thereafter. >> Sorry, can you repeat that one more
time? The fine >> 150 $150 per day >> per day >> and 30 days to come into compliance. >> Does the tree require an arborist or anything to come out? >> No, it's just it's not tree. It's trees. A lot has fallen down already. Some has
fallen into the lake. >> Okay. Um, it's just going to take a lot to clean it up. >> Has any improvement been made since December, November? >> No, ma'am. >> Oh, nothing has >> nothing has been done. >> Have we had any interaction with the homeowner?
>> No, not not until today. >> Not until today. Okay. >> Not today. >> All right. Any other questions at this time? All right. Do we have somebody here uh to speak this evening regarding this property? >> Yes. All right. Please can you uh come up to the microphone, please? Speak your
name clearly >> for the record. >> Uh my name is Spiros orotis. >> I was hoping you were going to try and pronounce that. >> All right, Mr. Vorotus. Um can you uh can you tell
us? >> Yes, sir. Uh so uh the trees that are down um they did they fell down in October through a windstorm and uh we have still been arguing with our insurance company about a settlement and a claim because as you can see there's a
lot of damage there and there's a lot of money that needs to be um from quotes that we've gotten. The tree that is in the um the limb that is in the uh lake uh we had three trees on our property.
Two of them fell on the neighbor's property, who I believe is the one that filed the complaint. The tree limb that's there is actually cut off of their tree and fell into our side of the lake. Now, we're willing to clean it up, but again, we just don't have the resources right now until we get our insurance. We've hired a public
adjuster, and so if it's possible, um if we could have more than 30 days, uh that would be amazing. Again, if we can get our insurance claim finalized, then we will do it as soon as possible. But we just don't it just they keep kicking it down the curb and I apologize for that
because we want to get it taken care of. >> Okay, hold that thought for one second. Um, Officer Toby, uh this pose a a safety risk to anybody in the community, children, voters. >> Well, the the neighbor to the right, a
lot of this stuff is to me like it might fall that way. So, it it it could be a risk to the to the homeowners on there. So it's a potential safety issue. >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. >> Is this the branch that has already fallen? >> I couldn't hear you. >> But uh Mr. Boris said the branch had
already fallen. So the risk has been mitigated unless I'm mistaken. >> No, if if we can go back to the photos. Um there's it's not this branch, it's a branch. It's a number of trees. >> Correct. But actually, if you look at
this photo right here, see that stump that's been cut? That was the tree that was over the neighbor's yard that they cut the limb. So, that tree has been removed. There are no trees now over the neighbor's yard. The tree that you see fallen is actually on our property. So,
the one that's still down is on our side of the is on our side of the fence. All the stuff for their side of the fence has been cleared out. And then, like I said, when West Tree Removal came and they had a crane and stuff, they just cut the limbs that were on our side. And that's what's resting
in is that's what's resting in the in the lake. And again, we have quotes to do it, but I we just don't have the money right now to do it until we get the insurance to figure it out. So, I apologize. Again, trust me, we don't want it sitting there either. >> Sure.
>> Has this ever been relayed to the city? Have you provided any documentation? >> You know what? I have and I'm sorry because Yeah, I didn't realize that we I thought we had to wait until we came here to talk to you guys. I didn't realize m the officer Toby told me that outside that I could just call him and actually have conversations. I didn't
realize that. Um but I will and again so for moving forward I have we have a public adjuster and I'll alert them and we'll make sure that we're in communication with everything that we have between the insurance company uh the escrow from the lender and then as well as um the our public adjuster and
any bids and stuff that you need to see too. >> Is the public adjuster aware that there was a uh code violation? um that you're here this evening. >> They are aware of it and we've also made it aware. >> Are they aware that if the fines start racking up, the public adjuster is going
to have to make sure that you get compensated for all that? >> I have not because I didn't know about potentials of fines until tonight. So, but I will relay that information as well. And like I said, if we could get it done as soon as we get a release from the insurance companies.
>> Wish we had legal counsel tonight. >> Yeah, we don't have legal counsel tonight. So, just gonna have to go with that. So, any other questions from the board here? Anything?
Speaking of safety issues, uh, does it pose any safety threat on on your property to you or your family? >> No. I mean, the trees resting in between two structures. So, no, it's not on it kind of actually luckily fell in between two structures. addressing on the roof,
but it's not not no no no no dam no potential safety issue on our side of it. >> Right. Well, I know that the wheels sometimes turn slowly until there's a fire placed under under somebody, you know. So, we we are going to have to make a ruling tonight. >> Yeah, I understand.
>> All right. You understand this? Yes, sir. >> So, no matter what we rule on this, hopefully this will help expedite things with your insurance company or through your public adjuster. >> Well, again, it's not I understand, sir. The insurance company challenge is because I think a lot of us
understand this. You know, we had a regular insurance company for years. >> Yeah. >> They pulled out our lender placed the coverage on the on the policy and that's who we're deal we're dealing with a company out of Ohio called Great American and >> Right. >> Um, so it's just it's been, trust me, it's it's been frustrating.
>> I can understand that. This also has been since you said October, right? Yes. October 2025. So, we're we're talking it's going on six months now. So, And I'm sure everybody wants to get that thing taken care of except for the insurance company. >> Yeah. >> All right. All right. Um, we we
definitely have to rule on this. So, somebody's going to have to make a motion. Can >> um when the ruling is made, can we make sure that you just keep in communication with the city of Okoi to show that you are trying? >> Yeah, absolutely. Here's I I I would also like you know first email out or
communication so we can see that the effort has been made and any up and without violating any rights to officer Toby in the city. Okay. We just want to make sure that you are trying >> Yeah. >> and letting the process take us place >> along those lines. Did do you have any
documentation showing the the the tree companies that you approached or what your estimates and that kind of stuff were to to show that that there was been some progress for >> the insurance company has all that stuff. >> All right. But you didn't bring any tonight then did you?
>> Uh I didn't but if I I might be able to get a copy off of an email and forward it. Can I forward you via email? >> That would be something you deal with officer. >> Oh, sure. Yeah, absolutely. I can get him copies of that. >> All right. I have a question. >> Yeah, member Fernandez here. >> Just just out of curiosity. So, it's not
that the insurance company is preventing you from going forward with the removal of the trees, it's that you just currently don't have the resources. Is that my understanding? >> Correct. I mean, the if you saw the estimates for the amount of work, it's a lot of money. >> Okay. Um,
>> so you've been given Oh, go ahead. >> So, you've been given the insurance company has agreed to pay a certain amount. just not covering or not even there. That's >> well they no they haven't agreed to they haven't agreed. We we've been that's we've been
fighting with them over the over you know compensation and the amounts that need to be done. So they haven't yeah they haven't released anything yet. >> Are are there any parts of the debris that you think you would be able to to
remove yourself or is it is it too large of debris pile? No, I mean I thought No, I somebody has to get in the water and cut it up and pull it out. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Trust me, if I could have gotten it out myself, I don't have a chainsaw, but if I had been able to
>> go in there and do it, I would. But >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> No, you're welcome. >> All right. Any other questions? I mean, could we ask for like 60 days? >> You can always ask, but you know.
>> No, that's fine. >> We have to >> And we do appreciate >> and I can hear you, so maybe I can get >> And we do appreciate you being here because sometimes we go through a lot of cases and there's no nobody here to uh on the behalf. >> No, like I said, I'm really sorry. Sorry
I told that to officer Toby like I we didn't realize we could have conversations with him ahead of time and so >> we'll definitely keep everybody breast of it moving forward. >> All right, somebody needs to make a motion. Has an offer been made from the insurance
company? If so, like was it half full? No offer at all. >> This is a tough one as you could probably tell. >> And I would just tell you, I mean, you know, We're looking at 18 to 20 or $20,000 or more of for the
quotes that I've gotten from the tree people. So, it's not it's not a th000 or $2,000. >> And that's just the trees. We have more. We like I said, we have we have damage on our roofs and structures like on the the dock and stuff like that. And that's
what we're fight like that's all the stuff that's going down right now. >> Right. Well, hopefully All right. >> And now I know I should probably should be in the tree cutting business. >> Well, discussion with the board. I mean,
personally, I don't want I I feel like he's here. He had the resources. He would have absolutely done this already. I don't want to add more insult to injury having $150 fine if he can't get
the resources to do the work done in 60 or whatever days it is. >> I'm happy with continuing this. We're likely going to have the city commission vote next month and have a special magistrate any anyways. So with the special magistrate can deal with this. I'm happy to continue it.
>> Well, don't don't put that cart before the >> I know. I know. But um just trying to think, you know, um long term. I'm I think it'd be better to just continue this and then if there is that vote that we're expecting and the special
magistrate is here, then that person can can deal with this case. At that point in time, I don't want to add $100 a day to these people when they clearly can't already get the work done. >> He asked for 30 days, right?
>> Um he asked well given that the safety um hazard for the homeowner has been removed. I am in agreement with with continuence because it's it's now centered just to to the homeowner's property. So, the
safety hazard has been removed from from others. And I'm going to ask officer Toby, have you ever encountered this? Do you know how long it generally takes in other cases? >> From what I saw, it's it's it's going to take a minute. Um,
I personally I think 60 days would be would be enough time to get it cleaned up, but I don't know about his finances. So, I have I know we don't have legal counsel here, which is annoying. Um, similar to what we have the option to do
for boarding up properties when they're vacant. You >> mean like abatement? >> Yes. Is there a way for the city to move forward with the cleaning up and then they place a lean on the property? >> But he's working with the insurance. It's not he's not >> No, I hear you. I'm just saying it's like last last
>> I mean it can still be paid out, >> but is that an option? I know again we don't have legal counsel. Does anyone have the answer to that? >> I wouldn't I since >> it's just an option I'm throwing. >> Yeah, I know. you know, talking >> because yes, we want this cleaned up, but at the same time, we don't want to
bankrupt anyone. You know, that's that's the last thing I want to do. >> But then the other portion of it is, you know, if you ask for a continuence on this, and this is one of those things that can be dragged out. >> It can be continuous, >> you know. So, you know, by making a ruling tonight, we actually light a fire
under these people and and we're actually, it may not sound like, but we're actually, you know, helping you to uh get this to proceed quicker. >> So, I mean, these are all very good points that you brought up. I even like
the uh the uh the abatement part of it. So, >> but you see, abatement infers that you can't or the homeowner can't when they're trying. That's that's that's where I'm stuck right now. They're they're trying and no response from who should be the responsible party. So
holding them accountable in that sense. >> Of course. Vice chair, would you like to weigh in on this? >> I agree with what Fernandez said far as um passing down the road speaking so we can hear. >> I agree with what member Fernandez said
as far as um continuing >> continuence. Yeah, I could um you know >> and well continuence could mean if we get back here in um on May 18th officer told you we can show that the homeowner
has been trying it can be it can be continued again. So even if a continuence is is proposed then you have to be uh willing to put down a date for that continuence continued until you know 30 days or
>> whatever it is. I thought he was saying 30 days >> 30 30 days >> we we have to show effort you know show progress show I've received this from the city now I must make an offer and you know we would prefer to have heard that they've made an offer and see where
we are. you know, they they've got to do something here. It's been five months. So, um, chair, Mr. Ch, I'd like to make a motion. >> Okay. Member Schultz, go ahead. >> In I make a mo a movement, a motion in

to the property owner, Mashi Doss Savatry, in Orlando, Florida, for violation of ordinance 10835, public nuisance where that code reads, "When nuisance conditions or hazards degenerate or
impact on structures, dwellings, or other buildings regulated by the minimum minimum standards codes, to the extent that repair, removal, securing or demolition is necessary for the public health, safety and welfare, then the enforcement officer or the code
enforcement board is authorized to order the property owner or city agents to repair, remove, secure, vacate, or demolish such structures. In addition to the violation notice, the building department posted a placard
declaring the structure is unsafe and uninhabitable for human occupancy. The property owner was given until December 22nd, 2024 to discontinue occupancy of the structure, remove all junk, debris, old equipment littering
the property and inside the structure, obtain permits from the OOI building department and repair the structure to meet current building code or obtain a demolition permit and demolish the structure to prevent public hearing,
fines, leans, and city initiative. initiated abatement throughout the remainder of 2024 and all of 2025. The owner kept in contact with the city and had many dumpsters delivered and hauled off full of debris.
The placard remained and nobody was inside the house. Unfortunately, as we entered 2026, the communication stopped, the dumpster stopped, the placard came down, a police officers and detectives started reporting new junk and debris
arriving, and some of the individuals from the original November date had been seen going in and out of the structure again. So on March 5th, 2026, a hearing notice to this meeting was posted at the location in the city hall lobby and sent
out certified service. On March 16th, the city received a communication from the owner and it was a voicemail and this is a transcript of it which I'll read. Good morning, Ed. This is can't pronounce the
name. I'm calling about the property at 2840 North Lakeshore Drive. I see I have a notice and a statement of violations and a notice of hearing. I just want you to be aware that I'm going to take action to resolve this. I am in discussions with a builder to basically
do the renovation so I'll be restarting getting dumpsters and clearing that out and the builder would be able to move ahead and do what he needs to do. and she apologized and said she has the notice. So, she does have the notice
hearing in possession. As of this date, the location is non-compliant with the codes as cited. The city's recommending a 30-day compliance time and to forfeit
$250 per day for the violation of 10835 if not in compliance with any orders this board might issue. So, we're now looking for abatement. >> Just to be clear, it's not vacant. >> It It is It is not vacant right now. No.

if the city so chooses to do that. >> And and you're just you're you're not talking about the structure itself. You're talking about just the the the trash around it >> and the structure itself >> and the structure >> just in case the city decides they would like to do that.
>> It would be permitted by your motion. >> Is the property vacant? >> Pardon me. >> Is the property vacant? It it's supposed to be vacant, but they removed the placard and some persons have been seen going in and out
of that that the police are watching. If the city were to do anything on its own, we would have to do a notice of vacate prior to that anyway. >> But as you as you're aware right now that it is vacant, >> could be
>> could be. Okay. All right. >> 30 days, 250 per day. >> Yes. 30 days and 250 per day if she doesn't take action and get a get it cleaned up and get a contractor in there.

Thank you. Case number 03920 is 1500 Lady Avenue. Officer Leler, City of Akoi Code Enforcement. On November 18th, 2025, in response to complaints from Orange County Animal Services
regarding conditions inside the home dangerous to children, this officer did observe a front glass window that shattered with large dangerous hanging shards and covered from inside with plywood. Not only dangerous, but also
contributing to a blighted effect on the neighborhood. The occupant refused consent to see inside. on several different occasions with several different agencies, animal services and myself. And on this occasion, we were denied access as well.
On this same date, November 18th, a violation notice was posted at the location and sent out certified service to the owners Dia and Dwayne Harris, same address as identified by official records for violation of ordinance
10823I, regarding the broken window glass. The notice provided until December 3rd, 2025 to repair the or replace the window glass and to abate the danger from the glass shards and remove the plywood. On
December 4th, 2025, reinspection rein revealed non-compliance. Prior to the January hearing, the husband of the occup occupant called stating there was a very bad divorce in progress. He was calling me from the courthouse at the very moment trying to
get permission to address issues at the home. It's involving some sort of restraining order. So, a continuation was granted based on just what he said. The February hearings did not occur.
However, on March 5th, 2026, a statement and notice to this hearing were posted at the location in the city hall lobby with public access and sent out certified service by the clerk. As of this date, the violation remains non-compliant.
The city is seeking a 15-day compliance time frame and $150 per day fine for every day not in compliance with any orders this board may issue. And although we didn't get to see
inside, this is better than nothing. >> 15 days and 150, >> pardon me. >> 15 days and 150. >> That's correct. >> Yeah, 15 days. Any other questions for the officer? >> Yeah.
Just just out of curiosity is that um if the plywood had been on the outside, would that have made a difference? >> Yeah, I think is with the the complaint being with the children and that big jagged piece that's not in this picture, but
>> Okay. Well, doesn't take that long to fix a window. >> No. >> So, all right. Uh I'll entertain a motion. >> Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. >> Member Schultz, please. Um, I move that in case number 2025-

is 269 East Geneva Street. Officer Leler, city of AOE code enforcement. On November 4th, 2025, the city received a complaint from the Akoi Police Department regarding trailers parked on a vacant grass lot within a row of
residential dwellings. There was actually three trailers. On December 31st, the trailers were observed by code officer Leashawn Holmes, no longer with the city. Officer Holmes spoke with Mr. Jenner and also
sent an email on 123125 regarding a zoning violation, a copy of it of the ordinance. He advised he would review and relocate the trailers if he found it to be in violation. On January 16th, 2026, a violation
notice was posted and sent out certified service to the owner, Melvin S. Jr., owner of the home next door to the vacant lot for violation of a land use zoning ordinance which is 5-1 citation
for zoning general except as here and after provided. No building, structure, or land shall hereafter be used unless in conformity with all the regul regulations for the district which is
located and it is zoned residential. The land being zoned for residential but being used for trailer storage. Residential lots with trailers are permitted provided they are behind a front building line and screen from view with a six-foot fencing gate. But in
this case, there is not a building or a front building line to have a privacy fence and a gate. There is next door at his house, but not on this vacant lot. The notice provided until February 19th, 2026
to discontinue activity not approved or prohibited within the zoning district, which is the open storage of trailers. The case was subsequently turned over to this officer as Officer Holmes returned to employment at the Orange County Sheriff's Department. The case was
continued to the March hearing date and during a subsequent visit at the location with the owner. We I explained the fence and the way to store it on his own property where his house is. And I also recommended he contact zoning
and see if he can get any kind of permission to keep the trailer on that vacant lot. what he would have to do if it's even possible. A statement and notice of hearing to this date were sent out by the clerk and posted in the city hall lobby with public access. As of this date, the
property remains non-compliant. The case originated with three trailers on the vacant lot and now there is one camping trailer that remains. The city's rem recommending a 15-day compliance time frame and a fine amount
of $150 per day for every day not in compliance with any orders the board might issue. And this exhibit right here, you can see the other two trailers that were there. And it's the camper on the left if on
the left facing the picture that's still there. It's a very nice well manicured lot too. >> Thank you. >> So the boat and the food truck trailer. >> Yes, those are no longer there.
>> All right. Any questions for the officer right now? >> All right. Um Mr. Jenner, would you like to come up? speak your name into the microphone and uh
let's hear what you have to say. >> I'm Melvin Jenner. I reside at 298 East Geneva Street in Noy. Uh yeah, the lot is right next door to the residence which is 296 East Geneva Street. And I
that is my camper now. I've had a trailer there for 20 years and all of a sudden it's a problem. I don't understand it. I've lived there for 25 years. I've been in Occoy for over 50 years. I'm not really sure what the what the
issue is as far. Now, I understand when when I had added the boat and that food cart. I was just trying being friendly uh helping out a neighbor and and my brother-in-law. But the camper is mine. It's not
occupied. It's the only place I've got to store it and I just need and I I can't see with that code where it says anything about an RV, >> but I you know >> Officer Laughler, would you like to shed
any light on that for him? >> So, we have a lot of ordinances that don't specify exactly certain things. >> Mhm. The city's position is that it's a zoning as in the vacant residential lot is
being used for the open storage of trailer or trailers and it's zoned for a residential dwelling only. >> Mhm. Not for storage. >> Correct. >> Okay. Um >> so that's being used in as
in opposition to the zoning for that residential area. >> Understood. Um, did did uh and you'll have to forgive me. Um, did you offer any remedies uh for him? I I believe there was a fence or something that you mentioned.
>> We just discussed that if he were to put it on his own lot where he could put it and build a fence. >> So, it'd be okay if I I pulled it to the back of my yard and parked it in the back of my yard, which is residential. Yeah. >> No different than the lot that's next to
me, which is residential. My only problem is I can't really park it back there into my backyard. I mean, I can get it back there, but my my backyard's manicured. I'm not parking a camper on it,
>> right? >> And I mean, I've I've had that lot for 25 years. >> The the lot where it's parked right now, the vacant lot. >> And I've had a trailer parked on it for 20 years. >> Yeah. Well, you know, I I know you're saying
that you've been here for a long time and and you almost feel like you're kind of grandfathered in, but unfortunately, you know, the zoning and the code, they they want us to start to become more compliant with that. >> Well, I can understand it when they saw
the boat and that food cart show up. I mean, then it looks like I'm in a storage business, which I wasn't in the storage business. >> Yeah. But the camper is mine and I mean I just don't have any other place or the funds to to store it any place else.
>> The the only suggestion that I might have is maybe go to zoning and ask for a variance of some type. I I don't know if they would would would do that for you or not. But you know that's >> So what's the difference in me parking
it on my my house at my house on my residence which is only 20 feet away. Actually, it's 15 ft away. So, there's So, that's the only difference we're talking about, >> right? >> Yeah. So, the the zoning code state that
the trailer has to be behind the front building line of a dwelling on a residential lot and screened from view front and side by sixoot fence. And there's no dwelling on that particular lot. >> So, there's there's no setback for it to
be behind. But you go through the neighborhood, you see trailers parked in driveways and yards. Even on Rusty's >> street, there's the same thing. He's got the same thing. It's they're all parked
out there in their yards. I don't understand. And I mean, I I can show you 50 hundred addresses of violations of just around the corner from me. And I have a feeling those are going to make their way before
>> and they will make their way. >> I guarantee it. >> But unfortunately, you know, we have to we have to come up with a remedy for this. >> Yes, sir. I understand that. I appreciate that. >> So, you know, it's not like we're we're going out of our way to to to put a
thumb on you or anything. It's just, you know, we we all have to play by some rules and and uh you know, unfortunately, those are the rules that we have no matter how long we've all lived here. And I understand your position. >> No longer or how long that camper's been sitting there.
>> True. Very much so. So, does any of the other board members have any questions? >> So, where are you to go to zoning and zoning could come up with a solution for you? >> Would you be able to comply with a fence or >> that that would be between him and zoning? I have no idea.
>> Yeah. That takes it out of our purview at that point. >> But are you willing? >> That would require more than 15 days probably. So, you just found out about zoning today? >> I'm sorry. Did you just find out about going to zoning today?
>> No, Ed has mentioned that before, but it's my fault that I haven't been to zoning yet, but I will go to zoning. I'll be at zoning tomorrow. We're build a house on that lot. >> Yes, we can shove it behind there.
>> I do have plans for that, but it won't fit the camper. >> Well, if you can change that in the next 15 days, you should be all right. So, anyways. All right, board. We We need to make a ruling on this one. Uh, unless you you
have some more questions for Officer Laughler or um Mr. Jenner, by the way, we appreciate you being here tonight. >> We've uh we ruled on a lot of things without residents being here and >> you know, it it's nice that you're here, you know, so
shows you care. So, it's important and obviously being in communication with Mr. Laughler is important, too. So, all right, I am ready to entertain a motion. Um, Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a motion. >> All right. Member Schultz.
>> And this one is to extend compliance. Um, I move that in case number 2025-04149, the compliance date set by the board be extended until April 16th, which is the next code enforcement board meeting to give the respondent time to speak to
zoning and have a plan in place. >> Second Did you say the 16? >> The April 16, the next code enforcement board meeting. >> Yes. Move the case to be continued to 416 2026 code board meeting. Okay. So,
we have a motion made by member Schultz, seconded by member Fernandez, um that in case number 2025-04149 that uh it be continued to uh April 16th, 2026 to allow Mr. Jenner to
contact zoning and and try to come up with a resolution. >> Mr. Sure. The if I remember the motion was to extend compliance that the compliance date not continue. So they would have to come in compliance by that date. They the motion wasn't to come
back to the board on that date. >> That's how I understood it. >> Oh, I that's what I board. >> All right. Maybe I'm confused. Um maybe you would like to remake that motion. We haven't voted on it yet. >> I move that in case it continues.
I move that in case 2025 01 04149 be continued. >> Oh wow. >> I'll rescend that motion. >> Rescond that. Okay. As long as as long as we're clear on this one. All right. So we have a a motion made by member Schultz and again by member Fernandez
that in case number 2025-04149 um it be continued to April 16th, 2026 code uh board meeting. again. Any discussion? Let's vote. All those in favor press
yes. All those opposed press no. All right. It passes unanimously. All right. >> Thank you. >> Please uh please stay on top of that. Stay with Mr. Waffler and uh you know, >> best of luck. >> Yeah. Thank Okay. >> Appreciate it. >> Yes, sir.

future. Um I'm number one proud to be part of this board. You you the board members here have been amazing. Um, I've been on here for seven years and uh and and you guys come with a very diverse uh backgrounds
which you know in some of these tough cases is really important um to hear from residents and you know to hear from your peers versus just a special magistrate who is a person that may not
even live in the city of AOE. So, um, you know, I I hope the wisdom of the commissioners and the mayor, uh, I I hope they think this through all the way. Um, this board has been around for a long time and, uh, you know, it's
served a COE very well, uh, for all those decades. Um, I personally am very proud of all of you. You guys have been great. Thank you for all the support and being here. Uh I know sometimes uh we we had a struggle to meet quorum but you
know what uh we can all debate that is uh needing a little help on the other side to make sure that we had enough members but but that's a different story for a different day but um as far as I can tell you right now we have not heard
anything from the city. So, as far as I can tell you, our next board meeting is will be that third Thursday, which is April 16th, 2026. So, until we hear anything, we are scheduled to be here.
So, um I'm sure my will keep us very much informed as we go forward. Um I think that's about all I have to say then. All right, this meeting is adjourned.
