It's 2 p.m. and the code board for the city of Tarpon Springs is now in session. And I'd like to announce that we have two new members joining us for the
first time. And I appreciate these ladies being part of the board. Can we get a roll call, please? Mr. Dimas? Here, doctor

Mrs. Merrick's here. Mrs. Lambrinidis here. Thank you. Sorry. I believe your uncle. Can we please stand for the
invocation? Lord, please help us all to have the integrity and the empathy that we will need to make the best decisions
on behalf of the city of Tarpon Springs today. Amen. Amen. And we'll turn and have 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. Thank you. Be
seated please. Here are. If you have a cell phone, please turn it to silence or off. I'll now
go over the hearing procedures. It is the intention of this board to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Tarpon Springs by providing an
equitable, effective and inexpensive method of enforcing various codes within the city of Tarpon Springs. An aggrieved party may appeal a final
administrative order of this board to the Circuit Court. Such appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the execution of the order to be appealed.
Florida Statute 286.0105 requires any party appealing a decision of this board to have a record of the proceeding to support such an appeal. The
procedure of this board is as follows. First, the city presents its witnesses and exhibits, after which the alleged violator is able to ask the city's witnesses any
specific questions regarding their testimony. Secondly, the alleged violator is allowed to make a presentation and present his or her witnesses and
exhibits. Then the city can question the alleged violators. Witnesses. After both rounds of testimony, both on the part of the city and on the part of the
alleged violator, each party is asked to give a closing statement, first by the city and then by the alleged violator. After those steps
have been taken, this board will close the public hearing portion of the case to discuss it and take appropriate action. Before we begin the public hearings, we will have all
potential witnesses stand up and be sworn in by the Secretary of the board. The testimony about to give us the whole truth and nothing but the
truth. I do thank you. All right. And looking at the agenda. We don't really have
that much to do. But if the inspector would begin, please. Yes. I have three affidavits today. We'll go through them one by one. But all of these are affidavits of compliance,
and there are no fines due on any of them. The first one is for 218 North Pinellas. This was case (258) 000-0436. This
was again a previous board. I don't even know if anybody was on the board, but it was for unpermitted work. There were some water heaters installed without proper permitting and some pavement work done in the
back. They have since gotten all of their after the fact permits, and everything has been signed off and completed by the building department. So I am submitting that affidavit
for your acceptance. Thank you. I'll pass that down. Do you want me to, Attorney Salzman? Do you want to do them all? 3
or 1? One at a time, if you care to. If you're ready, just shoot them all through. Okay. The second one is going to be case 8000391. This is for 607
Island Drive. This is another one going back quite a ways. It was for unpermitted work going on immediately following the hurricanes where everybody was
getting kind of caught up on the same thing they have. They were very cooperative throughout the whole process and have gotten all of their work signed off and completed. So again, I'm submitting an
affidavit affidavit of compliance with no fines due. And the third one is for is
(258) 000-0471. For 1400 Poinsettia Avenue. And this is again, this was unpermitted work. They were changing out some windows and they were this
was brought to us by Pinellas County. They got them for some unlicensed contractors. And then we followed up with unpermitted work. And again they have completed everything, got all their permits done and
signed off on the building department with no fines due.
Thank you. Thank you. That is it. That's it. Okay. Would
anyone care to make a motion in regards to the acceptance of these documents? I move that we accept the three affidavits of compliance as outlined in our
handout of sea. Charlie one, Charlie two. Charlie three. Consent affidavits. Compliance
