only the only issue is the tarp, but because the whole >> Right. It's part of the actual uh ordinance description. >> Okay. >> The uh the narrative is is really for the uh the the the roof portion itself and the fact that the the damage could
cause moisture buildup inside the home. >> Okay. But we're not concerned about pressure washing anything at the moment. We just need to get the roof fixed. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Any other any other questions? Go ahead, Brian. What's the condition of the tarp that's on it? Just uh I mean, not that

>> Right. Uh, >> right. Do we do we think that 30 days is >> is good or do we still need to >> uh longer than >> considering how these types of things uh tend to carry on? We are because we had
an impass at mediation um DFS mediation. Um the lawsuit is being filed usually that encourages the insurance company uh to try and proceed with finding resolution without carrying down the road of litigation if they heard me.
>> Um >> we heard some of it. >> They heard some of it. Um can you can you repeat it so I can repeat it to them? Well, they mediation was on pass >> typically. Um, it usually will take more than 30 days. It's difficult to put a time stamp on it because we are having
to file the lawsuit >> because we have to file the lawsuit. Let me ask you to just hang on. Let me ask you a couple let me ask you a couple questions.

>> Absolutely. >> Is there no chance that this roof gets repaired prior to the end of litigation? >> Uh, that would definitely be up to Mrs. Navaro and Mr. Diaz in terms of if if
they're willing to if they if it's possible to do a temporary repair, but with the tarp being on the roof, it if it is removed, it will seriously hamper their claim. That's the first thing the insurance company looks at. H >> Have you have you had any roofers out there to give you a price or anything?
>> Um I've had some, but they don't want to give me one because it's already in um in the process >> in the litigation. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, they don't want to give me one. >> Okay. And what's and what's the nature of your dispute? Is it just dollars or
they just denied the claim? >> They just denied the claim. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? >> Okay. I'll entertain a motion one way the other. >> I'll make a motion for case 254353
that we grant an extension to June 10th, 2026. >> We have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Motion. Second. Any further discussion? So, that was a 60-day extension. Yeah. Gotcha. >> Okay. >> And that's uh that's just to add to context. That's in good faith that she's
going to get the tarp repaired and stuff like that. >> Okay. >> Any other any All those in favor? >> Opposed? No. Nays. Okay. You can let your attorney know that you've just gotten a 60-day extension. >> Okay. I got a 60-day extension. And what that means is if it's if the roof isn't

>> Okay. My apologies. Please continue. >> Yeah. uh the last time I was here and uh I think uh he was informed you know that there was an appeal with the circuit court and then my attorney or
whatever the proono attorney she was in contact with the city hall and somebody and uh I'm working on it. Uh I have straightened out the the ridge which was uh has a depression in it. So hopefully by
next month it will be straightened out. Uh she said that just to show up in the even though it's in uh the circuit court the appeal but uh she said just go to the city council you
know. >> Okay. >> Somebody's going to have to remind me what's going on. >> Well okay if I can cuz I've I've been in contact with you. >> Okay. >> Um all right. This is the case where we have the uh roof on the detached garage.
>> Mr. Rana is having doesn't really have the means in order to repair it. We've been looking for outside ways to get it done. Uh the attorney um I've been in contact with her attorney, >> Don Artist.
>> Yes. And uh she's saying that you had a contractor, I think someone to come in and uh maybe do the repair. >> Yeah. Yeah. the car contractor uh said that uh he will do the framing and I'll put the the shingles on, you know, but
he can't do the shingles because uh >> not a licensed roofer. >> Yeah. So, he's not a roofer. He just could do the framing. So, that's what I'm trying to work with him so that we can just straighten it out so that we can put the shingles on it. Just a small area. That's >> And just kind of a reminder, we also had
the gopher tortoise take up residence underneath this. structure which I think adds a little bit of a problem to it. We have no objection obviously to another 30-day continuence on this as Mr. Rana tries to work through this. Um fortunately it's a
detached structure. >> It's a detached it's back of the house but it's visible from the street you know so aesthetically probably that's the issue aesthetics you know it it just doesn't look nice. That's all it is. >> You're here to ask for an extension. >> Did Yes.
>> Okay. Go ahead. Did we even have a deadline for compliance? I I don't even I don't see that. >> Well, this is this is he did file an appeal. I uh don't know whether they're going to move forward with the appeal, but >> it's a 70 days for the appeal, you know.
So, I think probably before that I will take care of it. >> Um so that's true. I don't even think there is a deadline. Well, we have let me see >> on this because of the fact that it >> I mean or actually I think it's the uh >> Well, the deadline was March 11th, but then he filed an appeal, right?
>> Yeah. Which would still put the deadline at March 11th. We're just not really, you know, we're going to see what happens with >> the appeal. >> Okay. Because if it does go to appeal and let's say the court grants the appeal, then we just back it all up. There's really nothing if it denies the >> there's nothing for us to to
>> really I think it's good that Mr. Ron is giving you an update. Yeah. So that we know we know that a fine will not begin to run on it, you know, actively on it. We'll just kind of monitor the situation. >> No motion required, >> Mr. I think. So I think just we'll get updates from them. >> Well, the court what they said to me
that they are giving me 70 days to file a brief. >> So they accepted the appeal and they want to submit a brief. Now I don't know what's the brief. So that's between the the attorney. She said probably won't come to that to file a brief. it will be taken care probably before
that. >> Okay. >> But the other issue with the tortoise, you know, because it's like a federal thing, you know, you can't disturb its habitat stuff. It doesn't bother me, but that's puts a wrench in the thing, you know. So, >> well, can I ask a question on that? >> Sure.
>> I'm not a protected animals expert by any means. >> If that delays any progress that he wants to make, there's nothing we can do on that. That's a protect. I think that's why we really are kind of sitting passive on a deadline date. Um, >> okay.
>> I mean, if he's just doing a repair, see, the the problem would have come in if he would have demolished the structure, >> right? >> Then we got then a turtle would come. >> If he's repairing the roof, patching the roof, cuz it's just a section of the roof, right? >> It's a section of the roof, but also in the >> in the laws, uh, it says you don't you
can't come within 25 ft of the tortoise. >> No, no. >> Well, just do it when he's not home. when he goes out for milk just >> well he fr in the yard and comes back I don't bother it you know so >> and because it's a keystone species that
the burrow itself is used for other animals also like snakes and stuff like that so even if the tortoise is not there I can't disturb the burrow >> yeah okay understood >> I would just ask that he come back again next month just give us another >> come on back next month give us another okay
>> all right >> thank you have a good night >> appreciate it thank you Okay. >> Would we? >> And ma'am, you you're welcome to stay, but you're not required to. I mean, you can you can hang out if you want. >> I know. It was just interesting. >> Okay. All right. >> You ready?
>> All right. Next case. >> There was no motion. >> Did we hear from the arborist? >> Not yet. >> All right. Well, we'll do one more and then we'll we're going to have to move on upstairs. >> So, we're back to the beginning.
>> Back to the beginning. Yeah. Under new cases, case number 26144 city versus Andrea Adair for the property located >> I think we missed one. >> Okay. >> Well, that's the fire >> the 5007
>> did you >> on this case? This is a fire case obviously and fire has been running these a little bit different than code enforcement. This the good news is this case is in compliance. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> So, um normally though kind of once we
it gets on the agenda through a notice of hearing, we still move forward. >> I'm going to be talking to the department about that process and maybe getting in, you know, kind of doing it the same way code does. But as of right now, the practice is for fire to not proceed with the case. So, I just ask
that this case be I guess remanded back to the uh department as it's in compliance. Okay. So, we need a motion for that. >> Somebody want to take care of that? >> Yeah, I'll make a motion. Okay. Case number 265000000 7.

>> Good evening, Mr. Chairman, board members. Lori Smith, Code Compliance. This case was originated proactively on January the 14th, 2026. My inspection revealed front wall stains on the structure. At that time, I left a door hanger with the compliance dated the
16th of February, 2026. My inspection on February the 17th, 2026 revealed no change. Therefore, a notice of violation was prepared with the compliance date of the 5th of March, 2026. No one's at home, so I posted the notice letter at the front door and requested
copies be sent certified and first class mailed to the owner of record. I also requested a copy be posted on the electronic board for the 10day requirement. At this time, I'd like to submit photographic evidence of the violation taken by me on February 17th, 2026. Accept that. Thank you.
Exhibit number one shows a notice letter posted at the front door. Exhibit number two shows the front wall staining. Mr. Chairman, on the 18th and 27th of March, 2026, I contacted the homeowner, Miss Andrea Dear, and spoke with her regarding the violation. As of today's date, the site is now in compliance. I'd
like to submit an affidavit of compliance, sir, and I'm just looking for a finding. I >> certainly accept that. Thank you. I got a real quick question. >> You go ahead. >> Um I noticed that there's a discoloration between that part of the
wall and the rest. Is that what the homeowner did or is it >> Excuse me. I'm sorry. >> There seems to be a discoloration like it goes from like white to uh >> I think I think the individual owners can paint their their wall whatever the same it's the same color as the house. >> Yeah. Towns. Yeah, they're town home, so
they get to paint that front wall the color of their house. That's why you see a difference. >> Okay. Is it >> I'm more concerned about the shutter that's about to fall off. >> It adds to that haunted house appeal. >> Is it? >> Yeah. >> Is I I was going to ask if it's possible
then that the whatever they used to paint it with is >> kind of part of the source of like why the neighbors wouldn't look the same or maybe it's just the plants. It's individual town homes, so they they paint them individually. >> Okay. >> And the offset shutters,
>> if if I may, if you drive through the neighborhood, there's a multitude of different colors. It's not an HOA. >> Okay. >> Um, so of >> different colors. >> All right. >> There's no architecture. >> Is But speaking of that shutter, is that a is there a violation for that? Is that a code?
>> Uh, no. No. No, there's not. But, uh, I have been in contact with Miss Adair and she's, you know, planning on replacing the shutter. So, um, should be done here pretty soon. >> No, no concern with like falling and hitting somebody on the head or anything. Okay. >> And she could actually remove them and >> Yeah, exactly.
>> That would be the >> Look at the neighbor on the other side. >> Yeah, >> they used to have some. Yeah, maybe they have the same problem. >> Any other questions? >> Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion. I'll do it. >> Thank you. >> Thank you, Lori. You're welcome, sir.

56, you cannot see behind the trees. So I decided to clean up so it doesn't have any object blocking people or the drivers from seeing what's behind the trees. So at least I can just push the homeless people from the building. Uh
unfortunately the the guy who took uh over the maintenance and cutting the trees was not speaking very well English you know. So he understood to cut the trees completely and was my intention was to cut some weeds overgrow weeds was
like that big and trim the trees that was existing which is like four of them. Let me let me stop you there for a minute because >> you're going to have to come tell us again. >> Okay. So, um why don't you just um it's been it's been moved to to to May 13th. >> Okay.

then the concrete is supposed to be any day now. Um I'm working with this company which is the cheapest around. So that's why because they have so much volume of work. But any day now cuz like I said they were supposed to do in the beginning of this week but with the rain and everything, you know, any day now
they're going to put that concrete. And then >> remind me again once the concrete's poured you can put the the the trusses up and then you can do the walls. >> No, the problem because this is a flat roof. The the framing has to down be done
first. >> Okay. >> Because there are some bearing walls that it needs to be built. I know I took it at the thing at the at the thing at the plan and then the trusses can be installed and then I probably going to have to do like a little bit of extra
work because I have to find a way to do some leveling all over the place uh with some I guess material compounds like self-leveling liquid or something which is also going to not going to be cheap.
Um, and then like the framing. I already have like two companies that I'm waiting for them to also give me a quote cuz I want to be prepared for how much is going to be that that too cuz I need to work cuz like I said, I'm I'm working. I'm working. I I get the money and then I I've been building stuff out of
pocket. >> Any questions? >> And then I have this for >> you want to if you want to put them in the record, we can. Yeah, this was for code enforcement. Are y'all content with the progress that's being made?
>> Yes, she's been out there quite often um going going forward. I've seen her out there removing the the the tiles that were in question last time. They're almost done. Not quite, but I know she's working on it. >> Um the tiled uh I wanted because I spoke
to Dallas. It's a unfortunate that he's not here. um because I wanted to put um a concrete driveway, but then the last time I spoke to Dallas, I have to wait 3 months in order um for some code to
change in order to be able to accommodate to my needs of the specific sites that I need for some something with the right away. So yeah, basically I have to wait around three months because the code going to change so it will give me a better
>> Okay. But you're you're with the progress. >> Yeah. >> At this time. Yes. >> Okay. Any other questions? >> So you're here to ask for another extension, correct? >> Yes, please. >> I'm ready for a motion. >> Okay. I was looking at
>> in case number 25-4819. I move that we grant uh uh the um Miss Dunia uh another 30 days extension till May 13th, 2026. We have a motion.
Do we have a second? >> A second. >> Motion and second. All those in favor? >> Opposed? No. Motion carries. You got your 30 extension. See you next month. >> 13. >> May 13th. Yep. So much. Thank you. >> Have a good night everyone. >> You too.
All right, next case. >> Uh, for new under new cases, case number 268182, city versus Christy Anne Reeves for a repeat violation for the property located at 11309 Lynbakes case. This
case is before the board on an alleged repeat violation of section 12-859 subsection 3 RVs, boats, and trailers. This case will be prosecuted this evening by Danielle Bat. The city has evidence that the notice of violation and notice of hearing were properly
served. >> Good evening. I'm offic with code compliance. This case this evening was initiated by myself on January 16th, 2026 in violation of code section 12-859 subsection 3 is a repeat violation from
previous case number 24-1046. An order of finding was issued on April 11th, 2024 recording there was a violation, but upon the date of hearing, it was in compliance. A notice of repeat violation was posted subject property requested posting city hall on
electronic board and sent both certified mail and regular mail to the address of record on February 10th, 2026. A notice of hearing for tonight's hearing was posted to the subject property requesting requested post to the city hall on the electronic board and for the required 10 days and sent both certified
mail and regular mail to the address of record on March 27th, 2026. At this time, I would like to submit evidence for the case number 26-0182 supporting the case and ask for a ruling of repeat violation. I am also going to
ask that a onetime fine of $500 be assessed as this is a repeat violation instead of a daily fine seeing as this is a violation that can easily be brought in and out of compliance over an hour's time. >> Good. We'll accept all of that. Thank
you. Any questions for the code officer? One at a time. Bill, go ahead. >> I was just going to So, is the property currently in compliance? >> Yes. As you will see in the exhibits, exhibit one's going to be a copy of the order of finding issued on and signed on
April 11th, 2024. And the minutes for the case, which are highlighted for ease, you will see the current property owner is the same as and was present at that hearing. Exhibit B is a photos of the violation on January 16th, 2026,
making this a repeat violation. Exhibit C is photos of the violation on January 27th, 2026. Exhibit D is going to be photos of violation on February 27th, 2026. Exhibit E are photos >> the slideshow for a minute.
>> Are the timestamps accurate? >> Mhm. >> Okay. Early. >> Yep. Photos of the violation on March 12th, 2026. And actually on dated April 6th,
2026, it actually is in compliance. And the last exhibit F is going to be an affidavit for that. Um, you will also see through the photos that are they are not always the same trailer. And the reason my photos were taken so early is because this particular
gentleman who lives with the property owner decided to take me and follow me one day. So >> we were not >> not friends. Got it. Any questions? I just >> so h can you estimate how many days this
has been out of compliance? >> The four I have listed are four after the date of the original site and that's why I was calculating at $125 a day per time that it was seen on property. >> She's asking for a onetime fine of $500, >> right? Instead of a daily.
>> So as of right now only four. >> Yeah. Sometimes we can base our fine level on the number of days it was out of compliance, >> right? That's the reason I was asking. >> Any other questions? >> Brian, go ahead. >> You're closer to >> Have you Have you had contact with them
about >> multiple times? Um, and the actual day I was followed was I went down the street my normal rounds throughout the neighborhoods. Um, he was talking to a neighbor in his driveway.
I pulled down. All right. Well, I'm not going to interrupt him. Okay, you're not having any problems. And he was also the same person who had a truck that was continuously in his front yard that he has stopped parking it there um on another case. Well, instead of going about his business, he decided to back
his truck now, pull it out from his driveway completely, pull it into the front yard and park there and wait for me to stop to see if I was going to take a photo. At that point in time, that's I'm not going to egg that on. M and he decided to follow me three blocks down the road to stop me and have a
conversation. >> So that is the 545 calculation times. >> Wow, >> Dave. So you're looking for just a $500 onetime fine, not uh not an ongoing >> No. >> Okay. Um
my concern with that is that >> it's like it's a ticket. And I mean, what what would be the So, if you continue to see this violation, are we going to be here again in a month or two months asking for another $500 fine? And >> depending on how many times it's
accurate. So, the reason I was estimating the 125 a day per thy is is because it is a repeat violation. This was originally signed off in 2024, two years ago, where the property owner is well
aware of it. um it's her company, it's her property, and she's ultimately responsible for whomever is doing this. So, in turns, yes, I would be absolutely coming back in here in a month if it's if it's to continue and asking for is
the violator andor the respondent aware that it's a violation and that the alternative is you got to find someplace else to park your trailer. They they made they've been made aware of that. I knew that answer. I just wanted to ask.
>> I think Rod had a question too. Go ahead. >> Rod had a question. Um it's it's regarding the the amount and it's fine. You know, also David answered part of it. Uh where is the did he show up? Did he is he planning on like did he contact
you after this or just try to follow you only? >> The property owner is a female. >> Okay. It's her other half who likes to follow people and she was present when he followed me. She was in the vehicle and took all information through her ear
while he spoke and he's well aware of it and so is she. >> Yeah, because I noticed that nobody showed up. So, you know, and and also for Jack, is is that uh is that the maximum that we can do or
>> No, we can do 255. >> You can do up to 250 per day. So it's half. >> Okay. That >> I think that's fair to half. >> Yeah. Think it might be 500 cuz members >> I thought it was I thought it was 500 >> for repeat. >> It's repeat. >> Yeah. 500.
>> You may be right. That's it's fine. Let's wait and find out. >> So if we stay late tonight >> says that >> repeat violation provisions, etc., etc. Allows the board to impose a fine up to $500 per day.
>> There you go. What was the conversation like? I I mean obviously they know it's an issue. They just don't care. They don't think like >> when he pulled me over to the side of the road because obviously I could see him following me. It turned into a
you're harassing me this and that. It wasn't going to go anywhere, >> right? >> It was just going to get more. So I just eventually was like, "Okay, have a nice day." >> Yep. Okay. Any other questions? Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion. >> Make a motion. >> Okay.
All right. In case number 260182, I move the city has proven by a greater weight of the evidence the following violations of the city of Temple Terrace city code exist on the property located at uh309 Lindbanks Place.
Uh and the applicable code sections are section 12-859 subsection 3. This motion is based on the sworn testimony this this board has received from the code enforcement officer along with any other evidence including photos affidavit and the notice violation all of which is received and entered as part of the record of this hearing. I further
move that the respondent be found to be a repeat violator as defined by the city code section 1-63 because the respondent has been found to have violated the same provision of the city code within the previous 5 years regardless of property address. I further move that the daily fine be assessed, sorry, in this case, a
one-time fine be assessed for the repeat violations for the time of the notice of the repeat violation um in perpetuity, seeing as there's not going to be a schedule on this. Upon considering the following factors, the gravity of the violation, any action taken by the violator to correct the
violation, and any previous violations committed by the violator, I move that the fine be a onetime fine of $1,000 per uh as a woman. Yeah, >> I that's fine. I'm thinking I'm just wondering whether because we have it's not really an irreparable irreversible
that applies for that. She was trying to do 125 per day, which is what got you to 500. You're at a,000. Yes. >> I think if we just clarify that would be for $250 for each day that for the four days that be out of compliance.
>> Sure. Uh I I'll amend that to be uh $250 per instance that has been discovered over a period of four days. I'll second that. We have a motion in a second. Any further discussion? >> Yeah. I just curious about the >> the money. >> Yeah. >> Um I uh I believe the aggressive
behavior of the uh the person associated with the violator needs to be accounted for. Um I don't think our code compliance officers are uh expected to kind of tolerate that that kind of behavior. And I I think there needs to be a steeper fine since it all revolves around this this one
this one violation. Um and yeah, I think it needs to be clear that you don't you don't approach our our city members is uh they're just doing their job. >> Taking into account previous actions of the owner >> exactly the previous violations as well as the actions taken to correct it which in this case are to start an argument in
a very aggressive way. >> Okay. >> Anything else? All those in favor? >> I >> oppose. No nays. Motion carries. Thank you. Next case. >> Case number 260789 city versus Robert Lawrence Est's for
the property located at 9214 Overlook Drive. This case is before the board based on an alleged repeat violation of section 10-3 subsection B sanitation grass weed. This case will be prosecuted this evening by Lorie Smith. >> Finally, you get to talk.
>> Wow. Good evening again, Mr. Chairman, board members, Lori Smith, Go Compliance. This case this evening is a repeat violation case which pres which was presented by Officer Allen at the MCEB hearing on September the 10th, 2025 in case number
252854. The board found the respondent to be in violation. However, the property was brought into compliance prior to the next hearing on October the 8th, 2025. On March the 10th, 2026, Director Shanks observed the yard grass weeds once again
to be overgrown. A notice of repeat violation was prepared on that same day and was posted at the property line. Copies were sent certified and first class mailed to the owner of record. I also requested a copy be posted on the electronic board for the 10-day requirement. At this time, I'd like to
submit the MCEB order in case number 252854 and photographic evidence showing the overgrown grass weeds in the front yard. Thank you. >> Exhibit number one shows a notice letter posted the front property line. Exhibit number two, three, and four shows
overgrown grass weeds in the front yard. Mr. Chairman, at this time I'd like to submit an affidavit of compliance. However, the site remained out of compliance from March the 10th through March the 18th, 2026, which would be a total of eight days. At $50 a day, I am
seeking a lump sum ruling of $400. >> I'd like to submit, sir. >> Well, we accept that. Thank you. >> Just checking your math. Okay. Any questions? >> Yes. >> Go ahead. Uh for Lori uh you say it's
eight days but uh >> is the the house occupied or is it >> it is occupied. Oh so it's but they twice they left their yard without mowing it or cleaning it. >> That's correct. >> Within the five years they would mowing
the grass and it made it a repeat violation. >> Okay. So So you had any conversation with them? >> No sir I haven't. >> Okay. >> Any other questions? Yeah, I have one. >> Go ahead. >> Uh, so how did you pick out the $50 per day? >> As a repeat, sir, we uh we tend to on
first violations, if it hasn't been brought to you guys before, I know that we uh usually or you guys what you have done in the past is $25 per uh per day or per violation. Being a repeat, I said let's let's try to go to 50 being as
repeat for eight days out of compliance. That's where I'm coming up with a lump sum of $400, sir. >> And you said you had not had any communications with him? No sir, I haven't. >> You don't know if it's a malfunctioning mower or what the deal is? >> No sir, I I sure don't.
>> Any other questions? Seeing none, I'll entertain a motion. >> I'll do it. >> Okay. In case number 26789, I move that the case that that the city has proven by the greater weight of evidence the following violation of the
city of timar city code exist on the property located at 92 uh 14 Overlook Drive with the applicable code violation section 10-3 subsection B. This motion is based on the sworn testimony this board has received
from the code enforcement officer Lorie Smith along with any other evidence including photos, affidavit, and the notice of violation. All of which received and entered as part of the record of this hearing. I further move that the respondent um h uh
respondent be found to be a repeat violator as defined by city code section 1-63 because the respondent has been found to have a violated the same provision of the city code within the previous 5
years regardless of the property address. I further move that the daily uh fine be assessed for the repeat violation from the time of the notice of uh the repeat violation until the time
the repeat violator violations are corrected upon considering the following factors. The gravity of the violation. Any actions taken by the violator to correct the violation. Any previous violations committed by the violator. I
move to have uh I move that the fine be $25 per day. >> Okay, we have a motion. Do we have a second? >> Second. >> Was a second. Any further discussion? >> I thought it's a repeat violation. >> Yeah.
>> It's It'll be eight times $25, right? Why why not the recommended 50 >> as Lori had >> uh >> requested? >> I you know it's um it it doesn't seem to me they meant uh in in my opinion because >> how do you know you haven't talked to him?
>> No, I haven't. But uh she says she has not had any contact and um I think you know the grass thing not I don't think it's going to be as >> as harsh as >> we're in a massive drought. We he had one little effect. >> Yeah. So I saw the photos. is not
somebody that really and in my opinion, you know, that's uh that's why I went. I think it's going to be harsh for $400 for 8 days and then finally they came out and they cleaned up and and it's not as as Brian said, drought. I get those
slumps in my yard sometimes like within a day I'll do them. But this is what I I feel. I don't in in a grass thing. I don't think it's we're going to have to, you know, like
we had a lot of cases where of overgrown or something and it's 5 years. I mean to do this is not really costly. I don't think people are intentionally want to leave their grass.
So I I I think $25 is fair for at least eight days. So that's >> What's that worked out to? $200. >> What is it? Yeah. >> 200. Yeah. >> Any other any further discussion?
>> Seeing none, all those in favor? >> I >> opposed. No nays. Motion carries. >> Okay. I think that's the end of new business. Is that correct? >> It is. >> Okay. >> Wow. Unfinished business is case number 253730,
