>>THE CLERK: (WHEREUPON, THE WITNESS WAS SWORN.).

>>THE CLERK: THANK YOU. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK

YOU. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: GOOD MORNING

SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: GOOD

MORNING. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: WE ARE HERE FOR CASE NUMBER 20-0377, MR. RAMOSE 1235 BOSTON AVENUE, FORT PIERCE. THIS IS AN ALARM APPEAL. MATT PRESENT THIS TO YOU? IS

AN HISTORY OF HIS ALARM. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: I'M GOING TO SHOW MR. RAMOS A COPY OF THIS.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: WE ARE STARTING WITH APRIL 5 WHICH IS A HEARING REQUEST REGARDING $150 THAT WAS OUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE PRINT OUT. NOW IT'S THE CURRENT BOARD JULY 4 WERE HERE FOR THE $50 OUTSTANDING BALANCE.

[00:05:03]

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: WHAT HAPPENED AT THE APRIL 5 HEARING?

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: HE WAS GRANTED THE $150 WHICH BROUGHT HIM TO A ZERO BALANCE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SO HE PAID IT?

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: IT WAS ADJUSTED. IT WAS GRANTED.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. SO CAN YOU -- I'M GOING TO ASK YOU A COUPLE OF FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS. SO WHAT WAS THE DATE OF THE ACTUAL ALARM THAT WE ARE HERE FOR.

>> JULY 4. >> TO HAVE THE APPROXIMATE TIME

. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: 2:24 AM.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: THERE IS A FINE PENDING AND MR. RAMOS HAS APPEAL DEFINED, CORRECT?

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: YES. THIS WILL BE HIS SECOND APPEAL.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: IN THAT HE IS THE APPELLANT, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HIM STATE HIS CASE AND THAT WE WOULD RESERVE TIME FOR REBUTTAL IF NECESSARY.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU HAVE BEEN SWORN. CAN YOU GO AHEAD AND PRESENT WHY YOU ARE

APPEALING? >>MALE SPEAKER: SOME PEOPLE HAS BEEN IN THE HOUSE A COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE LAST THREE OR FOUR YEARS. AND I DO NOT THINK THAT CALLING THE POLICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE, WHEN THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE -- I SHOULD BE PAYING FOR THE POLICE TO GO AND CHECK EVERYTHING. MY MOTHER LIVES THERE, 76 YEARS OLD. SOMEBODY THREW A ROCK ON FEBRUARY HE BROKE THE WINDOW. SHE HAD TO SLEEP IN THE LIVING ROOM FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I FIX THE WINDOW. I SAID THE RECEIPT TO SOMEBODY HERE. VIA EMAIL. AND I SUPPORT MY MOTHER I PAY THE ALARM AND THE EXPENSES AND I DO NOT THINK IT'S FAIR THAT I NEED TO PAY THIS. THUS A WEEK WORTH OF FOOD FOR MY MOTHER. AND I DON'T THINK THAT -- DUE TO THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE, ALL THE TIME THAT SOMEBODY IS BEEN INSIDE AND WE CALL THE ALARM AND YOU KNOW, THIS -- A FEW MONTHS AGO, SOMEBODY THREW A ROCK FOR NO REASON LIKE 2 AM 3 AM IN THE MORNING AND MY MOTHER WAS SLEEPING IN THERE.

SO, THAT'S MY REASON TO APPEAL. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: CITY

ATTORNEY HAVE QUESTIONS? >>FEMALE SPEAKER: CAN YOU CLARIFY THE DATE THAT THE WRONG ROCK WAS THROWN TO THE WINDOW?

>>MALE SPEAKER: IT WAS IN GENERAL. I SENT A BILL TO SOMEBODY HERE VIA EMAIL BECAUSE THEY ASKED ME FOR IT. AND I HAD TO PAY $250 FOR NOTHING.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: YOU PAY TO FIX THE WINDOW.

>>MALE SPEAKER: YES BEFORE OKAY. IN JANUARY?

>>MALE SPEAKER: I DO NOT REMEMBER THE BUILD A BETTER HAVE TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T ONE OF THE MAIN WINDOWS IN THE HOUSE.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: THAT WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE JULY 4 ALARM, CORRECT.

>>MALE SPEAKER: NO. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.

CAN I HAVE A MOMENT, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE?

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SURE HIM HIM HIM.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: IF I CAN MAKE A BRIEF EXPLANATION? THE FALSE ALARM ORDINANCE READS: IS THAT YOUR FIRST FALSE ALARM IS FREE. SECOND FALSE ALARM, THERE'S A $50 CHARGE. THIRD IT GOES UP TO 104TH AND IT KEEPS ESCALATING UNTIL IT REACHES $200 AND THAT IT CONTINUES AT THAT POINT. WHEN MR. RAMOSE APPEAL THIS IN APRIL, OR HE APPEALED IN MARCH, THE ALARM NUMBERS, TWO AND THREE WERE REMOVED. OKAY. THE FINE, THE PENALTY, THE $150 WAS WAIVED AND THE NUMBERS ALARM TWO, THREE, WERE REMOVED.

WITH THE INITIAL ALARM, THE NUMBER ONE, YOU SEE IT IN FRONT OF YOU. SO WHEN THE ALARM AND OFTEN JULY, HE HIT ALARM NUMBER TWO WHICH ACCUMULATES A FEE. OKAY.

IT'S STAFF'S POSITION THAT ONE WAIVER HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN. AND SO STAFF IS NOT RECOMMENDING A WAIVER OF AN ADDITIONAL ALARM BECAUSE WE VERY GRANTED A WAIVER. FOR THE FIRST ONES. SO THAT IS STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. OBVIOUSLY, YOUR RAMOSE IS REQUESTING AN

[00:10:02]

NUMBER THREE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU WANT TO ADDRESS ANY FURTHER? I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU THINK IT SHOULDN'T BE CONSIDERED NUMBER TWO WHY -- WHY IT SHOULD BE WAIVED AGAIN, I GUESS I SHOULD SAY.

>> I THINK THAT WHEN SOMETHING GOES OFF ON THE ALARM SOMEBODY SHOULD BE THERE BECAUSE IS MY MOTHER SAFETY. AND THAT'S -- BASICALLY WHAT YOU ARE CHARGING ME FOR $50. THAT'S A WEEK WORTH OF FOOD FOR MY MOTHER. AND I PAY FOR HER EXPENSES. AND I THINK IT'S NOT FAIR, BUT

IT'S COMPLETELY UP TO YOU. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: MAY I SPEAK? I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY NOT THINK IS FAIR BUT THE ALARM SERVICE DID HIS PURPOSE BECAUSE I'M HOLDING A LETTER HERE THAT STATES SOMEONE TRIED TO OPEN THE FRONT DOOR AND THEY ACTIVATED THE SENSOR. BUT SHE COULDN'T -- HE OR SHE COULDN'T GET IN AND IT WAS 2 AM AND YOU SAY YOU COULDN'T TAKE THE CALL. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THAT, BUT LOOKING AT THIS, THE ALARM DID ITS PART IS BECAUSE AN OFFICER WAS CALLED OUT AT THE TIME.

>>MALE SPEAKER: YES. THAT HAPPENS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY TRY TO GET IN THE HOUSE.

>> IT'S A LETTER THAT YOU SENT. I HAVE IT HERE.

>> I KNOW BUT NOBODY WAS IN THE HOUSE. I DON'T KNOW WHY -- WHAT HAPPENED. I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHEN THEY CALL ME BUT I WAS ASLEEP. AND BUT NOBODY WAS IN THE HOUSE SO IT

WAS NOT MY FAULT. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, STAFF AGAINST ME WHEN I DON'T --

>>MALE SPEAKER: >>FEMALE SPEAKER: WE RECOMMEND

THAT THE FINE BE UPHELD. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: UNLESS THERE'S SOMETHING I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE REASONING BEHIND -- I MEAN, LIKE YOU SAID, IT SERVED ITS PURPOSE. THAT'S WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO. SOMEBODY TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR . I WOULD -- I WOULD UPHOLD THE $50 AT THIS POINT.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: THANK YOU MA'AM.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU WILL GET A LETTER FROM CRY WOLF REGARDING THAT.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: DO YOU WANT A COPY OF THAT FOR YOU? NO OKAY. THANKS.

[A. 19-2202 Appeal Temple Drive 2 Tarraf, Andre Heather Debevec]

>>THE CLERK: THIS IS CASE 8 A CASE 19-2202. TEMPLE DRIVE, TOO.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: GOOD MORNING. DO YOU WANT HIM TO BE SWORN IN,? SO WOULD YOU PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>>THE CLERK: (WHEREUPON, THE WITNESS WAS SWORN.).

>>THE CLERK: THANK YOU. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK

YOU. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: GOOD MORNING SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. THIS IS CASE NUMBER 19-2202, WHICH IS AN APPEAL. IT'S FOR TEMPLE DRIVE THE OWNER IS MR. -- THE CASE WAS INITIATED ON AUGUST THE OWNER IS MR. -- THE CASE WAS INITIATED ON AUGUST 16, 2019. IT WAS A LOT CLEARING, WHICH IS SECTION 1646 MAINTENANCE ON PROPERTY PROHIBITED SUBSECTION 9 AND SECTION 18. IT WAS AUGUST 16, 2019 AND NOTICE WAS SENT FOR HIM TO CUT THE GRASS AND LEAVES AS NEEDED.

IT WAS REQUESTED TO TRIM ALL TREES, SHRUBS AND BUSHES TO COMPLY WITH THE FORT PIERCE CODE OF ORDINANCES. REQUESTING PROPERTY OWNER WAS GIVEN 10 DAYS AFTER NOTICE TO CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS. AN INSPECTION WAS MADE, SOME OF THE VIOLATIONS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.

A NOTICE WAS SENT FOR HIM TO HAVE THE REST OF VIOLATIONS COMPLETED BY OCTOBER 25, 2019.

DECEMBER 17, 2018 THE VIOLATIONS WERE COMPLETED BY MO FOR LESS LAWN CARE AND AN INVOICE WAS MAILED TO MR. TOROK.

ON JANUARY 27 OF THIS YEAR, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL REQUESTING A HEARING TO APPEAL THE CHARGES.

I HAVE PHOTOS FROM MY CASES WHICH MR. TARRAF DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW PRIOR.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. WE WOULD ASK THAT THOSE BE ADMITTED AS CITY'S COMPOSITE 1.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU. THE PHOTOS WILL BE ADMITTED AS CITIES COMPOSITE

ONE. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: THAT'S ALL I

[00:25:34]

>> YES. AND THE REASON IT WAS WRITTEN OCTOBER 10. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE RECEIVED IT.

THERE WAS AN ALLEGEDLY SENT LETTER SENT -- THEY SAY THEY SENT AND IT WAS DATED OCTOBER 15, WE NEVER GOT THIS LETTER. ABOUT A SMALL PILE OUTSIDE OUR PROPERTY.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. >>MALE SPEAKER: THE PILE WAS OUTSIDE OUR PROPERTY AND WE JUST MOW THE PILE. YOU CAN SEE THE PICTURE THERE. THE PILE -- THE BRIDGES WERE NOT PRODUCING BIOS BECAUSE OUR MACHINE IS A KUBOTA HIGH-PERFORMANCE MULCHER. IT GOES UP AND DOWN THE TREES AND THE BUSHES AND GATHER TO MULCH. SO, THERE IS A SMALL PILE THERE OF A LETTER WE NEVER RECEIVED. IT WAS ALLEGEDLY SENT ON THE 15TH. WE NEVER RECEIVED THE LETTER. WE BE HAPPY, BECAUSE WE HAVE -- WE HAVE A MACHINE THAT DOES THIS KIND OF JOB WE HAVE TWO MACHINES. THE OTHER ONE IS AN X 30 THAT HAS FOR CAN YOU GET EVERYTHING OUT. IF YOU GOT THE LETTER, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO THIS SMALL PILE THERE. EVEN IF IT IS NOT ON OUR PROPERTY, IT'S ON TEMPLE DRIVE BECAUSE THIS -- THIS ROAD, TEMPLE DRIVE IS THE ROAD THAT -- THE VEGETATION. THERE'S NO ROAD THERE. TEMPLE DRIVE IS JUST THE NAME.

THERE'S NO ROAD THERE. AND SO, IT'S NOT -- THE PILE WAS NOT ON OUR PROPERTY. WE NEVER RECEIVED THE LETTER. A SMILE PILE AND YOUR CHARGING IS 300 -- $3500 TO REMOVE THAT. THE REASON WHY I SAY THERE WAS ALLEGEDLY IS BECAUSE SOMEBODY MADE A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF THIS BECAUSE TAKING A LITTLE PILE, $3500 IS CRAZY.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHO PAID -- WHO CHARGED.

>>MALE SPEAKER: HOURLY CHARGE THAT. SHE SENT ME A FILE BUT YOU KNOW, THE LETTER THAT SHE SENT US WRITTEN ON THE OCTOBER 10 THANKING US WAS NOT ON FILE AND BESIDES THAT, THE FIRST LETTER WE RECEIVED WAS THE REGISTERED ONE. THE LETTER ALLEGEDLY THEY SENT -- THEY

[00:30:07]

WE DO THE JOB. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: SPECIAL MAGISTRATE JEFF A COPY OF THAT LETTER THAT WAS SENT IN OCTOBER?

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A DIFFERENT FILE BECAUSE IT WOULD'VE BEEN FOR

TEMPLE ONE NOT TEMPLE TO SO. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: TEMPLE

TWO DID NOT GET A LETTER. >> SOME NUTS AND WE GOT A LETTER. I'M SAYING THEY GOT A LETTER ON THE 10TH THE THEN ON THE 15TH, WE GOT A -- THEY SAY THEY SENT THE LETTER TO CLEAN A SMALL PILE BECAUSE -- I THINK THEY SHOULD -- WE RECEIVE THAT OCTOBER 10. WE NEVER RECEIVED OCTOBER 15. THERE WAS FUNNY.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: IF YOU CAN GIVE ME A MOMENT, SIR.

>>MALE SPEAKER: OKAY. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE ARE GOING TO GIVE MR. TARRAF OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THE LETTER AND THAT WILL GIVE YOU A CHANCE FOR REVIEW.

>>MALE SPEAKER: I SAW THAT. I SAW THE LETTER WHEN I CAME HERE. WHEN I RECEIVED THE BILL. I SAID WHAT IS THE BILL ALL ABOUT? THEN THEY HANDED ME THE LETTER.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU SEE ADDITIONAL WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE FIRST NOTICE IS ALWAYS SENT CERTIFIED MAIL BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S BEEN CLARIFY ORDINANCE. OUR FOLLOW-UP MEDICATIONS ARE NOT SENT BY CERTIFIED MAIL BECAUSE ARE NOT REQUIRED BY ORDINANCE TO DO THAT. IN FACT, THE FRIENDLY NOTICE SAYING THANK YOU FOR GETTING WORK DONE YOU NEED MORE, IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY ON THE CITY'S PART BUT WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE RESIDENTS AND HOMEOWNERS AND PROPERTY OWNERS TO TRY AND COME INTO COMPLIANCE. SO WE CALL IT A FRIENDLY LETTER SAYING THANK YOU FOR GETTING SOME WORK DONE. THERE IS STILL MORE TO BE DONE. AND IT'S SENT REGULAR MIRROR. CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT THAT FILE IS NOT RETURNED AT

ALL? >>MALE SPEAKER: DIFFERENTLY LETTER WAS OCTOBER 10. THE WRITTEN OCTOBER 15 -- WAS NOT A FRIEND LETTER BECAUSE IT REQUIRES US TO DO SOMETHING. YES, SIR. BUT THAT PILE WAS A MAN-MADE PILE.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: SPECIAL MAGISTRATE OF AN ASS UP HAVE EVERYONE DIRECT THEIR COMMENTS TO YOU SO THAT WE CAN KEEP THINGS ORDERLY? OKAY. CAN YOU CONFIRM THAT THE LETTER WAS RETURNED? AND SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, ONCE WE SENT OUT THE FRIENDLY LETTER IN THE WORK HAD BEEN COMPLETED, THE PROCESS IS FOR ME TO SEND IT OUT TO A ENDOR TO COMPLETE THE WORK.

THE VENDOR FOR THIS WAS MOW FOR LESS LAWN CARE. THE PHOTOS ON THE SCREEN NOW OR WHAT WERE SUBMITTED TO HIM. THE FIRST ONE BEING THE BEFORE PHOTO AND YOU CAN SEE UNDERBRUSH HERE ON THE SIDE. IN ADDITION TO THIS PILE THERE'S UNDERBRUSH HERE ON THE LEFT SIDE HERE. AND THEN ON THE FOLLOW-UP PHOTO YOU CAN SEE THAT ALL OF THAT UNDERBRUSH IS CLEARED IN ADDITION TO THE

PILE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IT'S MORE

THAN A PILE? >>FEMALE SPEAKER: CORRECT THERE WAS MORE WORK DONE OR JUST REMOVING THE PILE OF DEBRIS. ALL OF THIS, YOU CAN SEE HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THAT IS WHY THE BILL WAS SUBSTANTIAL.

>>MALE SPEAKER: YOU CAN SEE BRIDGES YOU CAN SEE BRIDGES AND THE SECOND ONE. THE PICTURE,

[00:35:01]

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IF IT WAS A RETURNED, THE ASSUMPTION IS THAT YOU RECEIVED IT. IT'S THE

SAME ADDRESS. >>MALE SPEAKER: I RECEIVED THE LETTERS BUT BUT THIS IS NOT A FRIEND'S LETTER BECAUSE IT WAS REQUIRED FOR US TO DO SOMETHING ELSE MASK -- IF THAT PILE WAS IN OUR PROPERTY OR NOT, WAS THAT PILE IN OUR PROPERTY OR AN

TEMPLE DRIVE. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: WAS ON HIS

PROPERTY, MA'AM. >>MALE SPEAKER: YOU SWEAR TO

THAT? >>FEMALE SPEAKER: YES, I AM.

>>MALE SPEAKER: THERE TOGETHER WE MEASURE THAT AND WE SAW THAT IT WAS OUTSIDE.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: THE PILE WAS NOT OUTSIDE OF YOUR PROPERTY DO I AGREE THAT MAYBE OUR CONTRACTOR CLEARED A FEW FEET OVER FROM YOUR PROPERTY, YES. BUT DID I SAY THAT THAT WAS NOT ON YOUR PROPERTY? NO, I DID NOT.

>>MALE SPEAKER: THE ALLEGED PILE WAS NOT ON OUR PROPERTY BECAUSE THAT ENTRY IS NOT ON

THE PROPERTY. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: I'M GOING TO OBJECT ASKED AND ANSWERED AT THIS POINT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I SUSTAINED THE OBJECTION.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE LETTER DOES NOT JUST ADDRESS A PILE. IT ADDRESSES THE ENTIRE PARCEL WAS ALSO CLEARED. YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THE PICTURE. SO, IT'S -- AND I KNOW YOU'RE SAYING IT'S A -- A FRIENDLY LETTER, CANNOT REQUEST SOMETHING BE DONE. I MEAN IT'S FRIENDLY, MEANING IT'S BEYOND WHAT THE CITY IS REQUIRED TO DO, BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S REMINDING YOU AND GIVING YOU MORE TIME TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THAT'S -- IT WASN'T REQUIRED, BUT IN FACT, IT WAS SENT.

>>MALE SPEAKER: YOUR HONOR $3500 TO CLEAN UP PILE -- WHAT'S -- THEY ARE TELLING THAT THERE WAS MORE -- OKAY. THERE ARE BRANCHES THERE. ARE THE BRANCHES THERE? YOU KNOW, BRANCHES -- IS THE SAME THING ON THE OTHER LOT I THINK -- YOU HAVE MORE PICTURES THERE,

RIGHT? >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHAT PICTURE DO YOU WANT TO LOOK AT? YEAH. THERE ARE MORE PICTURES.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: WHAT HE WAS -- HERE'S WHAT HE'S REFERRING TO IS THE POPERTY NEXT TO HIS TO THE CELLS, WHICH IS -- IS ALSO SOME SORT OF A RIGHT-OF-WAY AND THERE IS A SPACING. I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT HE IS REFERRING TO.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. WHICH WOULD NOT BE HIS PROPERTY.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: CORRECT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. SO THAT REALLY DOESN'T -- IS NOT RELEVANT TO YOUR PROPERTY.

>>MALE SPEAKER: THE POWER WAS NOT ON MY PROPERTY. THE PROBLEM WAS THE PILE NOT THE BRANCHES ON THE FLOOR. YOUR HONOR, THE PROBLEM WAS THE PILE. THE PILE THERE. THE MAN-MADE PILE, NOT THE BRANCHES ON THE FLOOR. THESE SMALL BRIDGES, -- IT'S ON THE BOTTOM OF IT. ACTUALLY I HAVE PICTURES HERE OF SEVERAL PROPERTIES -- OKAY. BUT I KNOW IT'S NOT IN THIS CASE BUT WE WERE TOLD TO CLEAN THE LOT. WE CLEANED BOTH LOTS. OUR NEIGHBORS DIDN'T. NOBODY DID. ACTUALLY, I THINK IT -- I HAVE SEVERAL PICTURES OF EVERYTHING.

I THINK -- WE ARE TOLD TO CLEAN IT. WE'RE THE ONLY ONES. I THOUGHT THERE WAS AN ARREST

THING TO COVER THE TRUTH. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: I'M GOING TO INTERRUPT THERE. THERE WAS A STABBING THAT OCCURRED ON THIS LOT AND THE POLICE WERE INVOLVED IN CODE ENFORCEMENT HAS RESPONDED BECAUSE WE HAVE A RESOLUTION. THIS WAS BROUGHT UP IN THE LAST CASE. THE CITY COMMISSION SIGNED A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE SETUP TED

[00:40:03]

>>MALE SPEAKER: OKAY. SORRY, YOUR HONOR, THE ONLY THING HERE, BRANCHES ON THE FLOOR DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. EVERY VACANT LOT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WE'VE ADDRESS HAD SEVERAL TIMES SERVE.

>>MALE SPEAKER: I KNOW THAT. BUT THE THING THAT YOU REQUIRE FOR US TO DO IS A PILE THAT WAS

OUTSIDE OUR PROPERTY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY.

YOU MENTIONED THAT SEVERAL TIMES, THE PILE.

>>MALE SPEAKER: YES. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IS NOT OUTSIDE THE PROPERTY AND IT WAS NOT JUST THE PILE, IT WAS TRIMMING AND YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENCE IN THESE TWO PICTURES. SO, I -- DOES THE CITY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE PILE IS NOT ON OUR PROPERTY. AND -- IT'S NOT ON THE PROPERTY, YOUR HONOR. IT'S NOT. IT'S ON TEMPLE DRIVE. IT'S NOT ON OUR PROPERTY. IT WAS MAN-MADE.

$3500 TO CLEAN IT. IT'S A PILE THAT HAS TO BE CLEANED. IT'S ALL -- IT'S -- YOUR HONOR, WE CLEANED 18,000 SQUARE FEET. WE CLEANED THE WHOLE THING. WITH THE MACHINE THAT WAS A PILE -- I COULD TAKE WITH MY HANDS. I COULD PUT ON MY TRUCK. WE HAVE A TRUCK CAN I SHOW YOU.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO ADD? WE'VE DISCUSSED THE PILE

SEVERAL TIMES. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OF THESE ARE PICTURES OF OTHER PROPERTIES.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: >>MALE SPEAKER: THE PICTURES WE SENT THEM WITH THE PLACE CLEANED. WE HAVE THESE MACHINES. WE NEVER PLAN TO CLEAN UP. WE NEVER GOT THE LETTER. THE FACT THAT THE LETTER DID NOT COME BACK, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE GOT IT, RIGHT? IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE GOT THE LETTER BECAUSE THE LETTER DIDN'T COME BACK. DOES IT MEAN IT? PRESUMED IT RECEIVED, BUT IT'S PRESUMED.

>>MALE SPEAKER: I COULD TAKE A PALLET MY OWN HANDS AND PUT IN THE TRUCK.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ARE THESE PICTURES THAT YOU HAVE SEEN YES THERE'S NO INDICATION OF WHEN THESE WERE TAKEN SIR WHEN WERE THESE TAKEN AND DID YOU TAKE THEM? YES. I TOOK THEM. THIS IS -- THIS IS OUR -- OUR EQUIPMENT. NOW WE HAVE ANOTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WE SENT IN THE EMAIL THAT WE SENT. WE HAVE THE OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WE SENT. WE HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT TO DO THE JOB. WE NEVER -- THERE'S NO WAY JUST THE SMILE PILE. THERE'S NO WAY

. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: UNLESS THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE I FIND THAT VIOLATION EXISTS IN THE FINE SHOULD STAND. WE'VE ADDRESSED THE QUESTION OF THE PILE AND THERE'S MORE TO IT THAN THE PILE. SO.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: HOW LONG DOES HE HAVE TO PAY THE FINE?

>>MALE SPEAKER: OKAY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW LONG

DO NEED TO PAY THE FINE. >>MALE SPEAKER: THE THING ABOUT PAYING THE FINE IS -- THE FINE CAME OUT OF THE BLUE. WE NEVER GOT THE LETTER. THAT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME ANY TIME IN THE FUTURE. WE HAVE FINDS.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE QUESTION IS HOW LONG ARE YOU REQUESTING TO PAY THE FINE.

YOU WERE PUT ON NOTICE. >>MALE SPEAKER: AL PEDOPHILE.

A PEDOPHILE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: 30 DAYS?

I WOULD SAY 30 DAYS THANK YOU. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: CAN I PAY

[00:45:05]

WITH A CARD RIGHT NOW. >>MALE SPEAKER: EXCUSE ME, YOUR HONOR CAN WE -- I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE OF NEVER BEEN IN A COURT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE AND 65 YEARS AND I NEVER SAW CHARGING $3500 TO CLEAN JUST A PILE.

AND THERE ARE BRIDGES THERE. OKAY. BUT THE THING IS CAN WE APPEAL TO ANOTHER COURT, THIS -- CAN WE DO THAT I'M ASKING YOU BECAUSE I NEVER -- I'VE NEVER BEEN IN COURT IN MY LIFE.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: I WOULD PRESUME HE HAS 30 DAYS TO APPEAL THE RULING.

>>MALE SPEAKER: I HAVE -- YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO GO TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ST. LUCIE

COUNTY IF YOU WISH TO APPEAL. >>MALE SPEAKER: ALL DO THAT.

I'LL DO THAT. >>FEMALE SPEAKER: AND SPECIAL MAGISTRATE I WANT TO POINT OUT THE RECORD AND STAFF CAN CORRECT ME. IF I'M WRONG, PLEASE CORRECT ME. A LOT OF THE FOCUS OF TODAY'S HEARING WAS WITH REGARD TO THAT LETTER THAT THE APPELLANT STATES HE NEVER RECEIVED. I DON'T THINK THE CITY WAS UNDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEND THAT LETTER AT ALL. HE WAS ALWAYS ORDERED TO MAKE THOSE CORRECTIONS AND IF THE CITY DID NOT SEND THE COMMUNICATION, HE WAS TO BE ORDER TO MAKE THAT CORRECTION THE STATE IS WITHIN ITS RIGHT OF THE PROPERTY CLEARED.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HUNGRY. AND THAT'S WHY MENTIONED THAT TO HIM.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: THANK YOU MA'AM.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: YOU'LL RECEIVE AN ORDER IN THE MAIL.

>>FEMALE SPEAKER: ALL. >>MALE SPEAKER: ALL PAY MORE

FOR LAWYERS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IS UP TO

YOU. >>MALE SPEAKER: BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S -- IT'S CRAZY IF I NEVER GOT THE LETTER THAT I GOT THE BILL. IT COULD HAPPEN

ANYTIME IN THE FUTURE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU DID

GET THE FIRST LETTER. >>MALE SPEAKER: AND I CLEAN AND I ALWAYS DO THAT. I HAVE A HISTORY OF DOING IT BECAUSE THEY ASK ME AND I DO THAT EVERY
