Let the record indicate that the time is 2 p.m. and this session of the Tarpon Springs Code Enforcement Board is now
open. Can we have a roll call? Bonnie. Mr. Dumas here. Here.
Mr. Ogle is absent. Mr. Stephan is also absent. Mr. Abercrombie here, Mr. Paul. Miss Kern here,
miss Merricks here, miss Lambrinos. Yes, here. Thank you. Roll call. And I apologize. I called you Barbara instead of Bobby. I had a secretary for
many years that was named Barbara, so I apologize, Bobby. Don't worry. That's my real name anyway. Okay. Would we all please rise for the invocation
and the Pledge of Allegiance, please? Dear Lord, please give us the insight that we will need and the empathy that we need to show in order to make
the best decisions here today. And. Please keep our troops as
safe as possible. Amen. And now, 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. You
can all be seated. I'll now go over the procedures that will be used today in this hearing. The procedures for this code
board are as follows. It is the intention of the 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. Any 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 proceedings 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 argument, first by the city and
then by the alleged violator. After those three steps are taken, this board will close the public hearing portion of the case to discuss it and take the 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. Bobby. Please read testimony. You're about to give us the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I do. And if you
have a cell phone, would you please. Turn it to silence or off? Thank you. And now I'll
turn to the inspector. Sir, if you're ready with your first presentation. Yes, sir. Just please bear with me. I'm dealing with kind of a head.
Colds of my voice goes out, I apologize now. My name is Mike Ralston. I'm the code enforcement officer for the city of Tarpon Springs. And
this is case 25-80000687 for the property, located at 1309 Cromwell Drive. This is a
self-initiated case. It was started on October 27th of 2025, and this house is located on
Cromwell. This is just to give you a little bit of an overview. It's in the neighborhood of Brentwood, and I was in the
neighborhood doing other inspections when I identified this house. It was extremely overgrown. I could see the roof
is tarped and there's trees growing up in a state that are literally beginning to grow through. This is a slightly later inspection where the
trailer had been moved and the driveways had been cleaned up. But you can see there's trees growing up through the soffit
and of the roof. The sides of the house are actually quite impassable right now because there's so much growth. This is another picture you can just see of it. The trees are almost
supporting the roof at this point in different areas. This was from batteries and other
things that were scattered in and amongst the vegetation. The property is owned by Mr. England and initially we did not have any contact with him.
Our letters and things went without, but he did. Eventually he was able to reach out and get hold of us and he explained he had some hardship issues. He's living with his ailing
mother and whatnot, so we've tried to give him time and extensions. As you saw in one of those previous pictures. You know, he did clean up the driveway a little bit. You know,
this was the initial, you know, he did blow out a lot of the leaves and do a little bit of cutting and edging, remove the trailer. And then we sort of lost contact with him again.
And then we I ran into him while doing an inspection. He was on site and he had explained he had had a miscommunication with us and that he had been working on the
inside of the house. And I explained, I know my concern is more on the outside. He said he would continue to work on it, but again, that he was dealing, you know, with he doesn't live on site and he had his mother.
So we've tried to give him as much time as possible. Even when we issued this notice of hearing, we tried to give it. We ran it out an additional
time. We issued a notice of hearing in March. We could have had him in front of the April code board, but we wanted to give as much time as possible, which is why we're here. So I'm
sure the board will you guys will debate and he he is here to answer any questions, and I'm sure he'll ask for a time frame, which I'm okay with giving him time. But we just we
need a final deadline at this point to, you know, get this project moving and go from there. And that concludes my presentation. Sir, do you have
any objection to me submitting evidence? Thank you. And that concludes my presentation. Mr.
Ralston. Officer, start back to slide one, please. No further back. The initial paperwork.
Now, on this screen, we're showing a case number. Last three, eight, six, seven. On the paper I have it says 687.
Which number are we dealing with. It's going to be 687, I apologize, I'm sorry. It's going to be 687. I apologize.
It's wrong on mine. I started to have a question. If we were to give him this gentleman more
time, do you have a recommendation as to how much time? No. I'd be open to him giving, asking what he's looking for, and we'll go from
there. All right. Do any of the board members have any question for the officer? Anybody? Apparently there are no
questions. And we'll go on with the with Mr. England then. Step up to the mic. Mr. England, give us your name again. My
name is Mike England. Need to speak up nice and loud. My name is Mike England. Go ahead sir, I'm not much for public
speaking, so I prepared a statement. I'd like to read it. Microphone, sir. I can't hear
you, sir. How about now? Maybe it's off. It may not be on.
How's that? Much better. All right. I want to give you some background on my situation. I've owned the house for 30
years. More than 30 years with no issues. But a few years ago, my mother developed cancer and needed full time care. And I
wasn't going to put her in a facility. So I quit work and moved in with her and her house in Seminole to take care of her.
I have and had very little free time and 25 miles away, and therefore my house has been neglected and. And I was
noticed by I was notified by code enforcement and my initial contact. I told them I would take care of things and what free time I had, and I asked
them if they would let me know about the priorities they had, and they were glad that I asked that and told me they would that work for a while. And then
I was getting some things done that they had mentioned. And one call I made to check in and ask what was next. I didn't get an answer. I just got a text
message back saying that there was more to be done to be in compliance. So I mistakenly took that to mean that things
were more relaxed, and I shift my focus to work inside. I wanted to make it more livable for when I was able to move
back in. And after seeing the notice of this hearing, I realize I should have contacted them more and made sure we were on the same page. And this
isn't a case of me avoiding taking care of the issues. It's my misunderstanding of the priorities and timing. I'm
applying for loans. One of the state funded home repair loan and one is through habitat for humanity. And if I'm given
enough time, I will get a loan or grant. I will make things right and save my home. Any board members have any
questions for Mr. England? I do. How long do you think before you get the grant approved or the loan approved? I'm sorry. How long before do you think
you'll hear whether your grant is approved or your loan is approved? I didn't get any indication as to time frame. I know it's once federal, once
through habitat for humanity, and I don't really know. Anybody else. Any other
questions? Does anybody care to, having heard the testimony, anybody care to make a motion
in this case? So again, if Mr. Rowlands has a recommendation after hearing. Mr. Engle speak
right now, we just have that June 10th, which would put it right before the next code board. I'm okay with you extending that, but I wouldn't want to go much beyond 45 days
at this point. I mean, this has been going on since October. Sir. I was saying I'm ready to make a motion if we're ready. Go ahead sir. Okay. I move in
case number 25-80000687 to find the respondent. Michael B England in violation of City of Tarpon Springs Code of ordinances 8-48-41 and 8-52 for
the property located at 1309 Cromwell Drive, and to assess a fine of $50 per day beginning on June 10th, 2026, until compliance is achieved and to
order the respondent to contact the Code Enforcement Division to arrange for a reinspection of the property to verify compliance with the board. Order any second, second. Okay,
the motion has been made and seconded. Will vote. All those in favor, say yes, yes, yes. Anyone opposed? Say no and it
passes. So you have till June 10th, sir. Okay. All right. And I I'm sorry you're in such a situation. I had to take care
of my mother for a long time before she passed, and also had to take care of my wife for a long time before she passed. So I understand that there's a lot
to do. And your priorities have to be somewhat different than maybe what the city's priorities are. But nonetheless, I think that the officer has
given you ample time and it needs to be corrected. So there you are. Yeah. I didn't understand it to be that. That
urgent. Is there some circumstance that might get me more time? Well, I would tell you that what you need to do is to deal with the officer as far
as if you need to eventually ask for an extension, I would do it through him and work with the officer. I think that he's done everything he can to work with you, and I think that
perhaps it can be worked out between the two of you so that you're satisfied in the city satisfied. But we also have to be concerned about the people that live, you know, across the
street and your neighbors. And that's why we have to pursue this to some type of a finish.
Okay. I understand, thank you. All right, officer, next case please. Yes, sir. My name is Mike Rollison. I'm the code enforcement officer for the
City of Tarpon Springs. And this is case 26-8000753. And this is for the property located at 120 Athens Street. And there's nobody here for
that case. I'm going to submit my evidence. Thank you so much. On February 2nd, we received a citizen complaint about this
property. We went out and inspected. This is located on Athens, right at the intersection of Division Street. The property is. It's abandoned.
We've seen no sign of anybody there. There is overgrowth. I mean, the mailboxes are just I mean, spilling out. And I have
seen no evidence of any activity other than me walking up to this door to post it. There is various debris
scattered around and left on the front porch. Overgrowth down on the alleys, and the property is just in a general state of disrepair, and we've
received no contact from anybody. We issued a courtesy letter that day. On February 2nd of this year. We issued the notice of violation on February
27th, and we have heard nothing back from anybody. The evidence I submitted exhibit A is the photographs. Exhibit B is the Notice of Violation and notice of hearing. Exhibit C is the
affidavit of posting for both of those notices and exhibit D is the Pinellas County property appraiser and Pinellas County tax appraiser. And that
concludes my presentation. Anyone have any questions for the officer? Well, apparently.
Not much to present here. Does anybody care to make a motion in this case? Make a motion. Go ahead please. I move in case
number (268) 000-0753. To find the respondent. Lewis is in violation of the City of Tarpon Springs Code of ordinances
8-48-418-52 for the property located at 120 Athens Street, and to assess a fine of $50 per day beginning June 10th, 2026, until compliance is achieved
and to order the respondent to contact the Code Enforcement Division to arrange for inspection of the property. To verify compliance with the board's order. I'll second. The
motion has been made and seconded. All those in favor say yes, yes, yes yes yes. Anyone opposed? Say no and the
motion passes. We'll move on to the next case. Yes, sir. My name is Mike Rollison. I'm the code enforcement officer for the City of Tarpon Springs. And
this is case number 26-80000788. For the property, located at
1003 Lake of Oak Drive. We received a citizen complaint ons
located in the South Pointe. Alexis property appears to be abandoned. You'll notice on this overhead shot. If you look at that, you see a gigantic
tree that's covering half the house. That tree fell during one of the storms, and the property just has general storm damage. There's insulation
that's falling out under the back porch on the rear of the property. And where the tree fell. It caused damage to the house. There's been no work
done from what we've been able to gather from the HOA and neighboring properties, the gentleman has not been seen or
heard from. It's in the name of Tyler J. Smith, who we've had no contact with. We have had a company called Safe Safeguard Properties has emailed us in
reference to it, but it seems to be an automated because every time we've responded to them and said, hey, this is what's going on, it's like we just get the same automated.
We're reaching out to inquire about this property. So they are not the owner. I don't know if he's contracted them, but they've not made any kind of meaningful contact with us. I'm
going to submit my evidence since nobody is here. And that evidence is exhibit A is all of our photographs. Exhibit B is the notice of violation and
notice of hearing. Exhibit C is the affidavit of postings. For both those notices. An exhibit D is the Pinellas County property appraiser and Pinellas
County tax appraiser records. And again, with no contact, we're just looking for a motion to get a final deadline on this and see if we can get somebody to actually make contact so we
can get the ball rolling on getting some repairs made out there to this property. And that concludes my presentation. All right. Any board members have any questions for the
officer? Apparently no questions. Is this an absentee owner? We haven't seen it. The property appears to be abandoned. We've seen no sign of anybody living there. And
the neighbors have not seen him. So I don't know if he's moved on. If he walked away from the property like some people do after a storm. But it's still in his name on Pinellas County Property Appraiser. They still
show it as Mr. Smith owning the property. I know that. Doesn't you know, there's no further questions. I'll make a motion.
All right. You may proceed. I move in case number 26-80000788, to find the respondent, Tyler J. Smith, in violation of the City
of Tarpon Springs Code of ordinances 8-48-41 for the property located at 1003 Lake Avoca Drive, and to assess a fine of $50 per day beginning
on June 10th, 2026, until compliance is achieved and to order the respondent to contact the Code Enforcement Division to arrange for Reinspection of the property to verify compliance with the board's
order. Any second. I have another question here, if I may. Yes, sir. I'm looking at the paperwork that you passed out and with certified mail, we have an information here that
says moved left, no address, unable to forward. How are you going to contact this? The law requires that notification be given. The law requires
notification be given to the property. Appraiser's address. That's the address we use. It's the obligation of the homeowner to make any changes. It's not the obligation of the city. So
we met the requirements of the law by sending it to the address that was presented on the property. Appraiser's address. Well, you know, I understand the law and how what you're describing is what needs
to be done, that you're obligated if you own a piece of property to know what mail to get. That's all on the property owner. All we can do is, is
send it to there. And if they don't choose to pick it up or choose to have somebody get their mail, then there's no we
have no other choice but to handle it this way. Anything else? Colonel? All right.
Anybody care to make a motion? We've got a motion, but we don't have a second yet. Anybody care to make a second? Second? This motion. I'll second it. All right. The motion has been made and
seconded. All those in favor vote yes. Yes, yes, yes. All those opposed vote no. There's no no's. So we'll go on to the
next case. The motion is passed. Officer. Yes, sir. My name is Mike Rollison. I'm the code enforcement officer for the City of Tarpon Springs. And
this is case number. Let me make sure I got the right one here. Two. I apologize, it's
wrong on my sheet again. It's correct in yours (268) 000-0773. This for the property located at 1019 South Florida Avenue.
This property came in as a citizen complaint on February 24th. Upon inspection of the
property. We noticed that the pool in the back is. It was tarped and covered. But that tarp has completely fallen in. The pool is still secure, so
this is not a safety issue of access. It is secured. But it's a sanitary issue because that cover has caved in. The water is stagnant. It's you can tell
it's a breeding ground for mosquitoes. We also observed there was construction work going on inside the house. Clearly, this had been a home
that had suffered flood damage. So there was work going on. We've never observed anybody present at the house working. We've only seen this work that was going on in these two
photographs. And since we this original date, nothing has changed. So they know we had been out there. This is a property that has been in front of the code board. Before. We
had had difficulty making contact with them, but ultimately we did and corrections were made. But in this case, we have had no contact at all. And the
property was inspected again today with no change. So I'm going to submit my evidence. There's nobody here. And I'm
hopeful that a board motion will again, the hope is that will attract their attention to finally take some action and we'll go from there. And that
concludes my presentation. Any board members have any questions for the officer? Anyone? Apparently no. No questions. Does anyone care to
make a motion in regards to this case? I'll make a motion.
Go ahead. I move in case number (268) 000-0773. To find Michael to find the respondent, Michael Marlow and Michelle Marlow, in
violation of the City of Tarpon Springs Code ordinances. 36.0 2IPMC3 03.1 and 212 for the property located at 1019 South
Florida Avenue, and to assess a fine of $75 per day beginning on June 10th, 2026, until compliance is achieved and to order the respondent to contact
the Code Enforcement Division to arrange for Reinspection of the property to verify compliance with the board's order. Anybody care to second
the motion? I'll. Second. Motion has been made and seconded. Any need for
discussion before we vote? All those in favor say yes. Yes. All those opposed say no. There are no no's. Motion passes.
Officer. Next case please. Yes, sir. My name is Mike Robinson. I'm the code enforcement officer for the City of Tarpon Springs. And this is case
26-80000802 for the property located at 1390 Red Oak Drive. So this is a little bit different. What's before you today, sir? Do you have any objection to me submitting your
evidence to the board? So recently the swift Mud has issued the phase three water restrictions and we as a
municipality are required to do enforcement action as part of that. So we did a lot of social media campaign work. It was on
the news, and we also went out and issued as many warnings as we could because this the swift mud order was once the deadline hit, we were no longer allowed
to issue warnings. So we wanted to do as much education and outreach as possible. On April 20th. Well, first let me back
up. This property was issued a warning. Mr. Marino's wife was present. He was out of town working, and I explained the watering restrictions to her, and she said that she would get
with her husband upon his return because she didn't understand the timer and all that went into it. And we issued the warning and went
from there. On April 20th, the property was observed to be watering at 934 in the morning, which is outside of the hours
for watering. That warning was issued on April 3rd. We spoke with Mr. Marino. He was present.
And he would just simply explain he was trying to water a dead spot in the back and he is here today. The evidence
I've submitted is. Basically this photograph that was taken of the watering going on. This
is just another angle of it. You can see the you know, it's been going for a little bit. The water is pulling up there in the street. So exhibit A is the photograph. Exhibit B is
the notice of violation and notice of hearing, as well as the fine remittance form. Exhibit C is the affidavit of postings for both of those notices. Notices and exhibit D
is the Pinellas County property appraiser and Pinellas County tax collector records. What we're asking in this. For these water restriction violations,
we. We issue a fine remittance form and ask them to pay a $150 fine to the clerk's office. So if you find that this property
was in violation of the water restriction today. We would just ask that your order is that he come into compliance, and compliance is simply him
paying that fine to the clerk's office. And that concludes my presentation. Anyone have any questions for the officer? No
questions. All right, Mr. Marino, then you care to testify if you'd step up? Yeah. Give us your name again. Can you guys hear me? Okay, I'll
try to do a good job of speaking up. Yeah. I mean, Mr. Officer Rolston did come out to our property. I don't remember the conversation going the way he mentioned about a dead spot
in the back. What I said to him that day was that I had set the timer when I first of all, I returned back from Arizona, where I was caring for my mother. I wasn't working,
caring for my mother out in Arizona. She's 90. So my brother and I are taking turns. So I was out there for two weeks when I got back. In that time, that's when the warning
was issued and he was very kind to my wife. I appreciate that, but on the 20th I woke up that morning. I had set the timer
that Sunday night to come on at midnight, and when I woke up in the morning to take the dogs out first thing, I noticed that the watering did not occur. There was no pulling on my, you
know, sidewalks and such as it had been watered like it usually is. So I thought, well, let me let me because it's been now when my wife. I'm sorry, I'm going to back up. When my
wife mentioned she had been warned, I had her shut the timer off entirely because I didn't want to be, you know, out of compliance. So I thought, let me I woke up that morning
and noticed that didn't water. Let me get it on. Now if they come, I'll let them know. Hey, I had it timed. In fact, I mentioned to Officer Rolston, come and look at the timer. I
can show you that it's set for midnight to 4:00, and I understand he's busy. He didn't have time for that, but he didn't. He didn't come over to to look at the timer. And, you
know, it would have been nice, you know, get some confirmation and working with kind of partnering on that. That would have been great, but it didn't happen that way. And so since
then, I have gone on with, and I don't know why that timer didn't go off properly. Since then, I have reached out to the Rainbird support folks. They
had me do a complete reset. I reestablished the the, the, the appropriate timer on on the sprinkler system and got all
the times in correctly. So, you know, honest mistake. And that's the truth. I'm not here. I'm not here to waste your time. And first of all, thank you guys for just giving me the
platform to talk to you about this a little bit. I'm not here to, to, to dispute. I mean, he saw what he saw. I understand, but I do I do have you know,
one thing to mention is in every correspondence that I've received from the City of Tarpon on this issue, it it has a property owner of Francis
Ramos. And that's not my property. I mean, it's my property, but it doesn't have that. And based on what we're sitting through today and two or 3 or 2 other cases,
incorrect information as far as the case number and in my case the property name. So details are slipping through a little bit. And that's a little bit of
a concern with regards to kind of the, the, I don't know, consistency of data being presented to, to citizens and
to the board. So, I mean, I, I, I'm requesting that the case is dismissed, if that's even possible because of the error in the property owner of the official documents I received
from Tarpon Springs, the city of Tarpon Springs. Officer. Any response to that? I would say the two errors you witnessed
today were up on my computer screen, not what was entered into the record. That was just me doing my PowerPoint. So that's on me, but not what was
what was submitted to you was correct as far as this. I mean, even here on our our documents here, it's Joseph and Kathleen Marino. So I don't know. We
would have pulled that directly from the Pinellas County property appraiser. And to cap it off, I would point out that Mr. Marino acknowledged that he
he was, in fact, in violation, which at the end of the day, is the board's goal is to determine whether he was or was not in violation of the
watering ordinance, but I. Were the notices sent to somebody else's name under somebody else's name. I don't see how we would have. It's it's here on
the sheet and we pull this from property appraiser. I don't know how it would be different right here. What's on your sheet in front of you? I received all of the
notifications. I received all notifications. All of the notifications came to my house. I did go to the property Appraiser's site and found the
gentleman, Francis Ramos Jr. He lives over in another subdivision over off of Mirrors and Whitcombe subdivision. It's
at the end of a cul de sac just like my house. But I do have that information you have. Can I see that? Do you have it with
you? I do, yeah. Bear with me a second, Mike, and let me grab
it. This is mine. I'll give you both of them. Yeah. This is Francis Ramos, which is on the
notifications I received. And this is mine right there. So you're saying on the envelopes
themselves it said Francis Ramos but it came to your address. No, I'm saying in the notifications that you hand-delivered and everything I've received in an email, it's
listed it it has Ramos name in there as the property owner on every single document I've received from the city on this
issue, can I see? So on exhibit C, I am reading the Notice of Hearing and Statement of violation. It does in the top
left corner, say property owner Francis J. Ramos. However, I am seeing a few pages down that it was signed off by the code enforcement officer, that it
was hand delivered and contact was made with Mr. Marino. So I'm looking at his documentation here and this is going to be something we're going to have to look at within
Avalon. The address is correct. The parcel ID is correct. The case number is correct, but the property owner name is not correct. I do not know why it's like that, but everything else
in the document is correct. And as Mr. Ethan said, I. We listed it on the document correctly, but I leave that to the board. I have no. If you just if you
feel that it was improper and you wish to dismiss it, I have no objection to that. But I want to try to get to the bottom of. Why. But all the actual information is correct,
right. Excluding the name, since the. The city is acknowledging that there are errors in the presentation, both in ownership and location and so forth, with the city
like to withdraw its motion for today and present it at another time with all the information correctly presented. No. The the the person is here. The
requirements of the law is giving you notice of a potential violation and a hearing to be present there, present there. It's technical violation under code
enforcement. This is not a court of law. It doesn't have to meet those requirements. The city's comfortable with how it's presented. If you didn't have somebody here, that might
be a different argument. Let me ask the officer. What you just got to interrupt is defined
right now. It's $150. Fine. Can I ask a question again? Well, chair, I'm sorry. I've been asking to be recognized as Mr. Marino, a question. Are you
using city water or reclaimed water? Well, water? It's well. Water. Yes. Okay. That's what I needed to know, because that changes up the laws and the decisions on all this. If it's
reclaimed. Well, anybody care to make a motion in this case? Well, we can have more than the standard motions. Absolutely. I mean, if the board is uncomfortable, that's your
decision. I'm just telling you the city is not uncomfortable. Well, let me ask, does anybody care to make a motion based on what the counselor has just
informed us of? I'm going to go ahead and move forward with the original motion. Please feel free to vote however you feel on that. I move in case number
26-80000802 to find the respondent, Joseph J. Marino and Kathleen F Marino, in violation of the City of Tarpon Springs Code of Ordinances.
SWFMD phase three water restrictions 20-42, 40-43 and 20-44 for the property located at 1390 Red Oak Drive, and to
assess a fine of $50 per day beginning on June 10th, 2026, until compliance is achieved and to order the respondent to contact the Code Enforcement Division to arrange for Reinspection of the property to
verify compliance with the board's order. Does anybody care to second that motion? Second. Okay, motion has been
made and seconded. All those in favor, vote yes. All those opposed, vote no. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Let's vote. All those in favor vote yes. Yes yes yes. And all those opposed vote no, no no.
And what's the count, Bobby? I heard one. No that was your no. I heard there are two nos. I'm sorry. That's why I was asking who's the second. No. Was I voted no. Okay. So there's two
no's. And how many yeses is 5 to 2, sir. All right. Well the motion passes then. Any further
motions involved in this case none are made. So we'll move on to the next case. The next two were water. I'd like to request
my documents please. Thank you folks for your time. I
appreciate it, thank you sir. The next two were both water cases. Those have come into
compliance. So we're moving to an affidavit of compliance. This is going to be case number
26-8000758. This was before you last month 1508 Point City Avenue. And that was the

I just want to let everybody know that at the BoCC meeting on the 26th at 6 p.m. if anybody is interested from code board to coming, they're going
to be a proclamation by the mayor for code enforcement appreciation. And we consider you guys to be just as important in this process as city staff, because you guys
volunteer your time to help get through some of these, which can be contentious. So having been on this board, I've sat where you sat and it's kind of a thankless job, but it's
important that it has an impact in your community. So I invite all of you to come. You stand right up there again. It's the 26th at 6 p.m. and the location
right here. Right here. Okay. Board of commissioners meeting. Okay, let's see what's next. Had the public comments. There's no one from the public
here. Board comments. Anybody care to make a comment? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So I have a quick comment. Just so you are all aware, effective today, I will be submitting my
resignation to the clerk's office. On the board, I have tentatively accepted an offer with the Tarpon Springs Police Department as I am finishing my undergrad, entering grad school
and starting full time work. This experience for me has been really great. You know, getting to start as an intern with the police department and seeing code enforcement on the back end while it was housed within
that department. Now, being here with you all truly appreciate all the advice and insights I've learned from all of you. So thank you. I think I can speak for the other board
members to wish you the best of luck. Thank you and congratulations. And I think the city is getting a fine new police officer. So thank you
very much from the Romans. Bear this in mind. Yes, sir. Quiz Custodiet Ipsos custodes, who guards from the guards
