say since we have so many people here to spectate that we can take the speeding violation first, but we don't have an appellent unless this is our appellent here, which it might be. If if if it is, are you okay taking that one first? We get the officers back out
quickly on the agenda if we could. Um because we're essentially the way the agenda is going to shake out today, we're going to that's end up being the only case you're going to hear. Okay. So, you're also pulling hickory tree cases. Yeah, they have they they've come into so uh and then the
the first case on the agenda 1508 Illinois Avenue staff were requesting that that matter be specifically continued to the next code enforcement special magistrate meeting in August. Okay. So with that we would uh
and uh we're just going to withdraw the the hickory tree management cases because we are working with the respondent to get those into compliance. Okay. And we had two speed program cases. Yeah. One. We actually have one. The one the first one on that's listed on the agenda that has been administrated will
be with dismissed by this by the city. Okay. And then so we're the only one we're we have is the Ma'am Auto Sales LLC. Okay. And sir, are you here on that case? Okay. Thank you. Um then that makes it easy for us. You want to call that case?
Do you want to call the order? I don't call the order. Sorry. I and I guess I do so quick to get into the agenda. We will start with the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. And before you sit down, sir, if you'll stay standing and whichever officer is going to be testifying today, if you'll raise your right hand, sir, do you swear from the testimony you give us the truth, all truth and nothing but the truth?
School Zone Speed Program Notice 58225000000122. Mimi Auto Sales LLC defendant location of violation NB 3755 Canoe Creek Road and Crossroad 523 at Canoe Creek K8. And
um Mr. Smith, this is the obviously the petitioner's appeal of the site of the speed zone school speed zone camera citation that was issued. Uh Captain Matteo is here to present to you on the information that's provided to him and he has a PowerPoint run through that will include uh showing the video
related to this. Okay. Thank you, Captain. Good afternoon, sir. Captain Ed Mateo of the St. Cloud Police Department. On 513 of 2005, I was tasked with reviewing a video of a vehicle traveling
northbound on Canoe Creek Road in front of um Canoe Creek K through8. The offense occurred on 5725 at 8:36 a.m. Um I reviewed the video and photographic
evidence and found probable cause to go ahead and issue the citation. It was a red Mercedes, Florida license plate of PN166W, which is registered to Mimi Auto Sales LLC. The clicker and then the notebook is
there. But the clicker should be Oh, yes. And the notebook, this is evidence packet. Yes, sir. receiving evidence utilizing a fixed LAR. The vehicle was
clocked at 34 and a 20. The light was flashing. So, it was it during school hours. Say the light was flashing. Yes, sir. Um, you can see in the this photo, the light was on when the vehicle went
by. And here's the information of the citation. There's another photograph of a vehicle entering the school zone at 34 miles an hour. Is this the video? No.
There's a closeup of the license plate in the vehicle. And this would be the video. All righty. Think if you click it again, it plays again. The vehicle was clocked by LAR doing 34 and a 20. The
LAR was calibrated. did a self-calibration. Um, let me see. On 56 to uh 2025 at 8:00 p.m. the LAR did an operational test and passed. The
violation occurred on 57 2025 at 8:36. The LAR did a self test again on 57 of 25 at 2 pm for an operational test and passed. I am certified um through the company
that that runs our um camera system Vera Mobility that I have um completed supervised training for the um video Um, let's see. Staff recommendation. Based on the testimony and evidence
presented in this case, it is determined that the respondent or an authorized individual was the operator of a 2000 Mercedes with the Florida registration of PN166W. Vehicle was driving 34 miles per hour
and a posted 20 school safety zone in violation of city of St. Cloud city ordinance. two 2024-48. Further staff recommendations. In order for the respondant to be in compliance, the
respondent shall be found in violation of driving more than 10 miles an hour over the the speed limit in a school safety zone on a regularly scheduled school day. pay the citation cost in the amount of $100 to be paid within 30 days of the written order of the special
magistrate as well as an a fee of as well as an administrative fee of $8949. Anything else from the city? No, sir. Thank you. Sir, you may come forward and if you would start off by stating your your name for me and your relationship to the
to MIT sales. Sure. Good afternoon, sir. Um, Carlos, I'm the owner of the company. Me? Carlos Salgado. I'm sorry. Well, I'm sorry, the last name. Salgado. S A L G- A D O. Got it. Okay. It's your appeal. What would you
like me to hear? Uh, well, the reason I came and uh I wanted to get to court cuz I never had this happen before with one of our tags. Uh, it could have been my mechanic, my detailer, a customer that we sometimes lend the cars to. We never kept a lock cuz it's never happened before. So, I know how to proceed. It is not like I'm guilty, but then I'm not. I mean,
obviously the evidence there. I just know who it was. So, obviously now we're taking a log who took the the vehicle and attacked. So, whatever it needs to be done, you know, I just want to take care of it. I guess it'll be a no contest. It's not something personal, but then it's my corporation. It's a little bit it's even simpler than
that. We're not I'm not a traffic court. I'm I'm a hearing officer. Okay. And this is a the reason why this has never happened before. It's a relatively new program that the state has allowed. Uh I think the statute was passed two years ago and St. cloud. This is literally the first set of hearings that we've had. So, this is the first round
since those cameras have been turned on. So, it likely hasn't happened before because there haven't been cameras there before, right? So, this is new to everybody, including you. Okay. And so to make it productive for you for having come today, uh what you're what I hear you saying, keeping a log who's driving
those cars and when that is very important for you because if you go to the statute and and I think even the the city's ordinance references references this point is if you want to if let's say it were my car and I lent it to my neighbor and my neighbor was the one who
was speeding, then there is a process in the law that allows for me as the owner owner of the car to say not my responsibility. I was not the driver. It requires me to fill out an affidavit and tell the city who was driving that car sworn under oath, right? And then the city will prosecute that person for the
speeding violation. Right. So take that away from today. But it sounds like you're already kind of thinking in that direction. But I would definitely keep that because then that lets you let the employee assuming it's an employee or a customer even worse, let you hold them lets you let us hold them responsible for that violation. Or at least I would pass on the bill
here. the evidence you owe me this, you know, instead of us assuming the bills. But unless you want to have to come to these, I would I would keep track of those and and should you find yourself in that situation, figure out what you need to do to submit that affidavit and get the person responsible for that violation to be the one who's carrying the burden of that violation.
Um, if that's all you have to say though, you're right. The evidence does show that the vehicle speeding through the speed zone. You can't dispute that. Uh, I just it wasn't me. I just don't know who it was. So I just want to take care of the taking I guess the sums because it is against the corporation. Citation amount was $100. The court cost
requested by the city $89 $8949. The statute authorizes up to $250. So I find that to be a reasonable amount. Do you do you take any issue with the court cost that they've asked for today? No, I mean I'll take care of it. Then the order I will enter is I'll find in favor of the city find they have
proven by sub comment substantial evidence the violation. uh order the respondant to pay the violation amount, the citation amount of $100 within 100, excuse me, $100 within 30 days of today's hearing, including the and included with that is the $8949
of administrative costs incurred. This will all be put into an order and you will receive that by mail. And actually, that 30 days for everybody's that 30 days will will start the day that I signed that order, which will probably be tomorrow or the day after. Okay. So, just wait for the bill today. You I don't know if you have arrangements set up. That's a city.
That's more of a practical question for the city. I don't know if y'all are ready to process it yet. You need the order. So, they'll need the order in order for you to pay. So, I'll wait for the envelope then and take care of it. Yes, sir. Thank you guys. Appreciate it. Thank you. And just before you walk out, let me make sure that I have the best address
for you. The address I have is 101 West Oakidge Road, Sweet B. Is that the best place to mail or land the floor? Okay, guys. Thank you. Thank you. Good day. That's all we have, Mr. Smith today. That was fun though. Um, let's talk though about about these
since these are noon. I was talking to the clerk before the meeting started. I will unless you want repair, I will prepare the order for this one, but it will be a basic upheld. You know, there won't be any other than proving your case that comments basically what I said at the microphone. It will be that
nutshell of a you carried your burden citation upheld. I'm not going to put a lot of detail in there. And the admission of course, but I won't put much detail like I would for code enforcement order. Correct. This will just be a half-page order. Is that okay? That's fine. Yes, sir. Thank you. Uh, and we also, Claudia and I were
speaking before the meeting. Is there, and I know there's some interest in this and people are observing in case they're the next officer to have a case or to be presenting. Um, but is there an interest to push these forward in our agenda so that when we have uniformed officers here that we can get them out of the room? We would appreciate that opportunity. I
think next month we have maybe a dozen or 10. 10. So, we we certainly would like that. That's so we get the get the officers back on the road. That would be my preference, too. So, I have no problem with that and we'll we'll do that. Okay. Okay. All right. Anything else from anybody? You got sworn in. You didn't want to
tell me anything. All right. Then we are adjourned. Thank you, everybody. Thank you.
