21-1144, 1121 AVENUE E. >> PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.

DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT THE TESTIMONY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH?

[00:05:01]

THANK YOU. >> THIS IS CASE NUMBER 21-1144, THE PROPERTY WAS CITED JUNE 14, 2021, FOR SECTION 123-64, PERMIT REQUIRED. THE CITY REQUESTED A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FIND A VIOLATION, REMOVING ONE LIVE OAK TREE. TOTAL DUE FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. THE MONEY FROM THE FINE IS REQUESTED TO GO INTO THE CITY TREE FUND. I DO HAVE PHOTOS TO SUBMIT AS COMPOSITE 1.

AND PRIOR TO THE HEARING, WE JUST SPOKE WITH THEM WITH OUR URBAN FORESTER.

WE CAME TO AN AGREEMENT. I'LL LET HIM EXPLAIN. >> YEAH.

>> OFFICER DAWSON, DO THOSE PHOTOS FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY DEPICT WHAT YOU SAW?

>> YES. >> AT THIS TIME WE WOULD MOVE THEM IN, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE.

>> THEY WILL BE ADMITTED AS SUCH. ANYTHING FURTHER, MR. DAWSON?

>> NO, MA'AM. >> ANYBODY ELSE? >> DID YOU WANT TO LET THEM

TELL THEIR SIDE FIRST? >> YOU ALL REACHED AN AGREEMENT.

STATE YOUR NAMES, YOU'VE BEEN SWORN. >> EMMA LOMAN.

THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF KEZIA TERRELL, MY GRANDDAUGHTER THAT I RAISED.

OKAY. THE TREE WAS EXTENDING OVER ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY OF THE PROPERTY. I ASKED THE MAN TO TRIM THE TREE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY.

AND WHEN I DID NOT STAY THERE TO SEE WHAT HE WAS GOING TO DO. WHEN I GOT THE CALL TO GET BACK THERE, AS YOU SEE THIS PICTURE HERE, HE HAD TRIMMED EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE LAST BRANCH THAT WAS ON THAT TREE. AND THAT WAS NOT WHAT I INTENDED FOR IT TO BE.

PLUS THE FACT HE CHARGED ME FOR CUTTING THAT, PLUS CHARGED ME FOR HAULING IT AWAY, WHICH HE DID NOT DO. SO I DID NOT KNOW THAT -- ALTHOUGH HE WAS JUST TRIMMING THE TREE, HE WAS SUPPOSED TO TRIM IT. BUT I DID NOT KNOW THAT YOU'RE

SUPPOSED TO GET A PERMIT. >> ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> NOW THE NEXT TIME I DO KNOW. >> TRUST ME. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY TOO MS. LOMAN. I CUT DOWN SOME. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GO AND PULL A PERMIT AND EVERYTHING. I LEARNED THE HARD WAY TOO. R. WASHINGTON.

>> I'M JUST HERE TO SUPPORT HER. >> OKAY.

GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING. >> ANY AGREEMENT THAT YOU ALL

HAVE? >> YEAH. WE HAD DISCUSSED IT.

AND THE CITY IS IN AGREEMENT THAT WE DO SEE WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE, AND DUE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF WHAT HAPPENED, THE TREE IS STILL STANDING TO THAT POINT.

WE HAVE COME TO AN AGREEMENT THAT THEY WOULD GO AHEAD AND PAY THE $35 PER PERMIT FEE AND

REPLANT ANOTHER TREE ON THE PROPERTY, WITHIN 90 DAYS. >> OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER? THEN BASED ON THE STIPULATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES, I FIND THAT KEZIA TERRELL -- I'M TRYING TO GET AROUND CITING

ANYBODY. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF YOU WISH WE CAN CONTINUE IT FOR 90 DAYS. IF THEY COMPLY, WE DON'T NEED TO COME UP.

>> I PREFER TO DO THAT, IT WAS NO FAULT OF THEIR OWN. WHAT WE'LL DO, MS. LOMAN, DR.

WASHINGTON, WE'LL CONTINUE THIS FOR 90 DAYS. IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GOT TO COME BACK OR DO ANYTHING, FOLLOW UP WITH THE AGREEMENT THAT YOU REACHED WITH THE URBAN FORESTER. IF THAT IS COMPLIED WITH, THEN THE CASE WILL BE DISMISSED

>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE IS SAYING. DID YOU HEAR?

>> YEAH. 90 DAYS, WE GOT TO PLANT A TREE ON THIS PROPERTY AND THEN ONCE WE PLANT THE TREE AND THEY AGREE, WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO THIS.

>> THAT'S CORRECT. ALL RIGHT. ANYTHING FURTHER?

[00:10:03]

>> JUST FOR THE RECORD, NOVEMBER 3RD MEETING, IT WILL BE CONTINUED TO.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> IT WILL BE CANCELLED IF COMPLIED.

>> I'M PRETTY SURE SHE WILL COMPLY. ALL RIGHT.

ANY QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU MS. LOMAN.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, DR. WASHINGTON. >> THANK YOU.

NEXT CASE WHEN YOU'RE READY. >> OKAY. OUR NEXT CASE IS 21-312, 1900

[O. 21-0312 PK 1900 Block Avenue M Jerger, Ellen Heather Debevec]

BLOCK AVENUE M, ELLEN JERGER. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THIS WAS A PARKING CITATION RESET FROM A PRIOR HEARING DATE. AND SO I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE PICTURES IN EVIDENCE.

THE ONLY ISSUE WAS WHETHER OR NOT THE PROPERTY WAS CITY PROPERTY, WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. WITH THAT, I WILL SEE IF CODE OFFICER DEBEVEC HAS ANYTHING TO

ADD. >> IT IS CITY PROPERTY. I DID GET CONFIRMATION BY E-MAIL. AND ALSO SHOWING A MAP TO CONFIRM ALL OF THAT.

>> ARE THEY INCLUDED IN YOUR -- >> NO. I DIDN'T SCAN IT IN, I'M SORRY.

>> IF I RECALL -- SO AT THIS TIME WE WOULD MOVE IN THE AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH AND THE

ATTACHED E-MAIL AS CITY'S 1 COMPOSITE. >> ADMIT IT AS SUCH.

OKAY. ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NO, MA'AM.

JUST THE E-MAIL CONFIRMS THE AREA THAT MR. JERGER WAS PARKED IS PART OF CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY.

>> OKAY. YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON ANYTHING?

>> I'M NOT GOING TO PAY $78. I'M DEFINITELY NOT 50. I'M DEFINITELY NOT PAYING 78.

>> HOLD ON. IF I UNDERSTAND THIS CORRECTLY, IS THERE AMPLE PARKING ON THE

PROPERTY THAT WAS PART OF THE PROPERTY, RIGHT? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> OKAY. HOW MUCH PARKING DO YOU HAVE ON YOUR PROPERTY?

>> VERY LIMITED PARKING. >> OKAY. WHEN YOU SAY LIMITED

>> WELL, YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DIAGRAM THAT SHE TOOK THE PICTURE, THE PARKING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE, WHEN I WAS HERE IN JUNE, I HAD TO MOVE MY CAR IN THE DAYLIGHT BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS SLASHING MY TIRES. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT DOWN THERE AT THE FORT PIERCE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I HAD TO MOVE MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS LIGHT. THERE IS NO INDICATION WHERE THERE IS NO PARKING, NO ONE WAY, RIGHT-OF-WAY, NO WAY. THERE IS NOTHING TO INDICATE THAT THE CITY OWNS THAT PROPERTY. THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW THE CITY OWNS THAT PROPERTY IS THERE IS A GATE THAT DIVIDES THE PROPERTY FROM THE DRIVEWAY. NO ONE NEVER INDICATED THAT THAT IS THE CITY PROPERTY. AND IF IT'S THE CITY'S PROPERTY, THERE SHOULD BE A NO PARKING SIGN OR ONE WAY OR WHATEVER. TO INDICATE THAT IT BELONGS TO THE CITY. FOR ALL THESE YEARS THAT I LIVED THERE, NO ONE CAME BY AND SAID THIS PROPERTY BELONGS TO THE CITY AND YOU CAN'T PARK YOUR VEHICLE THERE.

>> HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED THERE? >> 54 YEARS.

NEVER HAD A TICKET. NEVER. AND BEEN PARKING THERE FOR 50

[00:15:05]

>> I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION. >> THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS. I'M FAMILIAR WITH THAT STREET,

IS THERE A DRIVEWAY THERE? >> YES, MA'AM. >> HOW MANY CARS?

>> ONE. >> HEATHER, DO YOU HAVE THE PHOTOS FROM YOUR ORIGINAL CASE?

WHAT DATE WAS THAT? >> THESE ARE THE PHOTOS THAT I HAD ORIGINALLY TAKEN.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE AERIAL MAP, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE TREE IS IS WHERE THE DRIVEWAY IS.

AND AS YOU LOOK TOWARDS THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE HOME, IS ANOTHER DRIVEWAY.

IT'S KIND OF THE SIDE, WHERE OTHER VEHICLES CAN BE PARKED. WHERE THEY DO HAVE ANOTHER

VEHICLE PARKED. >> I NEED AN ADDRESS. >> 1313 NORTH 20TH STREET.

>> YES, MA'AM. SORRY. >> 1312 NORTH 20.

>> YOU LIVE ON THE CORNER? >> IT'S A CORNER LOT. BUT THE HOUSE IS PLACED ON THE

MIDDLE. >> YOU SAID YOU'VE LIVED THERE FOR 54 YEARS?

>> I'M 55. I LIVED THERE AT LEAST 45 YEARS OF MY LIFE.

>> THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS THAT RED AREA CIRCLED? THERE IS NOT A SIDEWALK THERE?

>> NO, MA'AM. THERE IS A SIDEWALK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE STREET,

BUT NOT THERE. >> THE PROBLEM I GOT WITH THIS, THESE HOUSES WERE CONSTRUCTED A LONG LONG TIME AGO. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE WERE PROVISIONS MADE.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST WHEN WE HAD PROPERTIES THAT HAD LIMITED PARKING, WE ALLOWED THEM TO EXTEND THEIR PARKING, TO MAKE A DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT ON THEIR PROPERTY. BECAUSE WE DO NOT ALLOW PARKING ON CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY UNFORTUNATELY. AS HEATHER INDICATED, UNFORTUNATELY THE PROPERTY APPRAISER'S MAP IS NOT WORKING. THERE IS ANOTHER SIDE OF THE PROPERTY WHERE SHE COULD DESIGNATE PARKING USING LANDSCAPE MATERIALS, WHICH WOULD NOT REQUIRE A PERMIT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. SHE COULD PROVIDE LIGHTING ON HER PROPERTY TO ADDRESS HER ISSUES. BUT BECAUSE IT IS A CITYWIDE RULE, WE ENFORCE IT UNIFORMALLY

ACROSS THE CITY. >> NO. BECAUSE THERE IS NO SIGN THAT SAYS RIGHT-OF-WAY.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT. >> EVEN THOUGH THE CITY HAS IMPLEMENTED THAT IS THE CITY

LAW. >> LISTEN, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK THIS OUT FOR YOU.

I UNDERSTAND. OKAY. I UNDERSTAND.

>> YOU UNDERSTAND MY FRUSTRATION? >> NOT ONLY YOURS BUT MINE AND THE CITY'S TOO. IF YOU LIVED IN THE HOUSE FOR 54 YEARS, 45 YEARS, IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE AMPLE PARKING. WHAT THE CITY IS TRYING TO TELL YOU IS THAT UNDER ALSO UNDER THE CITY ORDINANCE, YOU CAN DESIGNATE AN AREA AND I THINK WE'VE ALL SEEN THIS AT OTHER HOUSES, WHERE SOMEBODY PUT DOWN ROCKS OR SAND OR SOMETHING, AND THEY DESIGNATE, MAKE THAT A PARKING SPACE AND PARK ON THE PROPERTY. AND NOT ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

BUT THIS IS GOING TO TAKE SOME GIVE AND TAKE ON YOUR PART. DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M

SAYING? >> UH-HUH. >> ARE YOU WILLING TO DO THAT?

>> DO WHAT? TO FIND A DESIGNATED PLACE TO PARK MY VEHICLE?

>> ON YOUR PROPERTY, IS THERE SPACE WHERE YOU CAN CARVE OUT, USING ROCKS OR WOOD OR SAND, WHATEVER, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE DO A NUMBER OF THINGS TO FIND DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT, ON THE PROPERTY. PARK THERE AND NOT ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY?

>> ABSOLUTELY. WE'VE DONE THAT. THAT IS WHERE THEY SLICE MY

[00:20:03]

BECAUSE THEY WERE SLASHING THE TIRES. >> YOU MADE A POLICE REPORT.

>> I MADE A POLICE REPORT. >> DID THEY EVER CAPTURE -- >> ABSOLUTELY NOT.

>> DO YOU HAVE ANY SUSPECT? >> NO, MA'AM. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

>> DO YOU HAVE LIGHTING OUT THERE? >> WHERE I PARKED, WHERE SHE IS SAYING THAT IT SAYS RIGHT RIGHT-OF-WAY, THERE IS NO SIGN,

THERE IS LIGHTING. >> BUT IS THERE A PLACE THAT -- I'M TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. IS THERE A PLACE ON YOUR PROPERTY WHERE YOU CAN CARVE

OUT A PARKING SPOT? >> NO. >> WELL, LISTEN, I THINK THERE

IS. YOU >> YOU HAVE THE PICTURES IN

FRONT OF YOU. >> I HAVE A PICTURE THAT SHOWS YOU THE PROPERTY AND THE GRASS, ALL OF THAT. SHE HAS ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE PARKING AT THE HOUSE.

IT'S LIMITED PARKING AT THE HOUSE. WHEN WE BOUGHT THE HOUSE, IT

HAD LIMITED PARKING, WHICH WE HAD NO CONTROL OF. >> WELL, I'M TRYING TO -- CITY IS TRYING TO GIVE YOU A SITUATION WHERE YOU CAN CREATE A SPACE.

IT TAKES A GIVE AND TAKE ON EVERYBODY'S PART. IF YOU'RE STANDING HERE TELLING

ME YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DO IT. >> I SAID THERE IS NO WAY TO DO IT.

THERE IS NO SPOT TO PUT A DESIGNATED AREA AT THAT PROPERTY.

SHE SAID THERE IS ALREADY ONE VEHICLE PARKED THERE. >> WERE YOU ABOUT TO SAY

SOMETHING? >> WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY IS ON THAT SOUTH SIDE, WHERE SHE IS TALKING ABOUT A GREEN SUV WAS PARKED, I DON'T KNOW IF IT STILL IS OR NOT.

IT APPEARS TO BE LIKE AN ADDITIONAL DRIVEWAY WHERE SOMEBODY COULD PARK.

>> AGAIN, I CAN PARK THERE. AGAIN, SOMEONE WAS SLASHING MY TIRES IS THE REASON WHY.

>> YOU CALLED THE POLICE AND NOBODY HAS SLASHED YOUR TIRES SINCE THEN, HAVE THEY?

>> ABSOLUTELY NOT. BECAUSE I DON'T PARK THERE. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, CAN I INQUIRE? THERE WERE PICTURES THAT WERE ADMITTED AT THE LAST HEARING.

CAN I INQUIRE IF ANYBODY HAS ACCESS TO THOSE, THAT MIGHT ASSIST US IN OUR CONVERSATIONS.

THANK YOU. >> CAN YOU SHOW THEM TO MS. JERGER.

>> THOSE ARE THE ONES ON THE COMPUTER. >> IT'S FOR TODAY.

>> THEY'RE ON TODAY'S? >> YES. >> 9141.

>> SO THIS IS THE -- >> ON JUNE 24TH, THIS IS THE FRONT OF HER PROPERTY.

WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE WHITE SUV IS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THERE MAY BE ENOUGH ROOM FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, WHERE I WAS SAYING ANOTHER VEHICLE COULD BE PARKED. BECAUSE IT IS SIDE OF THE HOME.

>> WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH JUST PUTTING A DESIGNATED SPOT THERE?

>> SOMEONE PARKS THERE. A VEHICLE ALREADY PARKS THERE. >> THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE FOR

ANOTHER VEHICLE TO FIT IN THERE. >> AGAIN --

>> OR THAT ONE VEHICLE COULD PULL FURTHER UP. >> THE VEHICLE RIGHT THERE IS BROKEN. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT I TOLD YOU ONCE BEFORE, THEY WERE

SLASHING MY TIRES WHEN I PARKED MY VEHICLE. >> LISTEN, WE'VE GOTTEN PAST THAT. I TELL YOU WHAT, I TELL YOU WHAT, ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> I DON'T BELIEVE SO, MA'AM. >> ARE YOU WILLING, I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ONE LAST TIME, ARE YOU WILLING TO TRY AND CARVE OUT A PARKING SPOT? BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE YOU CAN.

AND I'M NOT TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO, BUT I DON'T WANT TO CITE YOU.

BUT THIS IS A GIVE AND TAKE. IF YOU CAN MOVE THIS INOPERABLE VEHICLE UP, WHAT IS THE STATUS OF THAT? ARE YOU TRYING TO SELL IT? IS IT YOUR VEHICLE?

>> THE STATUS IS MY VEHICLE, AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN STRESS IT.

>> I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOUR VEHICLE. I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU.

>> BUT YOU'RE TELLING ME TO PARK MY VEHICLE IN THIS DESIGNATED PLACE.

BUT I KEEP TELLING YOU THAT SOMEONE SLASHES THE TIRES EVERY TIME I PARK IT THERE BECAUSE

[00:25:05]

THERE IS NO LIGHTING AT NIGHT. >> CAN WE INQUIRE WHEN -- JUST FOR PURPOSES OF RECORD, CAN WE INQUIRE WHEN THE INCIDENTS OCCURRED AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THIS PARKING SPACE THAT IS UP ON THE SCREEN AND WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN IT WAS CITED? SO THE LATTER QUESTION I THINK IS MORE FOR STAFF, BUT CAN WE INQUIRE OF WHEN THE SLASHING

INCIDENTS OCCURRED? WHEN DID THEY HAPPEN? >> MAY 23RD, 24TH, 25TH.

IT HAPPENED THREE DAYS IN A ROW. >> WHAT YEAR?

>> THIS YEAR. >> OKAY. AND SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, A QUESTION FROM STAFF IS, THIS IS THE SIDE OF THE HOUSE, I'M POINTING HERE, IS THERE A WAY

TO PUT LIGHTING ON THE HOUSE TO ILLUMINATE THIS AREA? >> MS. JERGER, CAN YOU PUT A

LIGHT OVER HERE? >> I DON'T HAVE -- I CAN'T PUT A LIGHT UP THERE, NO. WE HAVE A LIGHT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE HOUSE. ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE HOUSE, THERE IS NO LIGHT. AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN PUT ONE UP.

>> CERTAINLY PROBABLY WILL BE CHEAPER TO PUT ONE UP THAN TO PAY THIS FINE.

ANY SUGGESTIONS, MS. DEBEVEC. >> PUTTING UP A LIGHT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION AS WELL.

THEY DO HAVE BATTERY OPERATED LIGHTS, WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO REALLY SCREW ANYTHING IN THAT ARE EASY TO MOUNT. SO IF THAT IS AN ISSUE. THERE IS SOLUTIONS OUT THERE

FOR THAT. >> THERE ARE SOLUTIONS. MS. JERGER, ARE YOU WILLING TO

CONSIDER THAT? >> CONSIDER PUTTING A LIGHT UP. >> YOU CAN DO A MOTION LIGHT?U

PAYING THE FINE? >> I'M GOING TO SAY THIS ONE MORE TIME, I'M TRYING TO HELP EVERYBODY HERE. I'M TRYING TO AVOID YOU PAYING A FINE.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR DILEMMA. BUT THE CITY HAS RIGHTS TOO. >> THEY DO.

THEY DO. >> THE QUESTION IS, CAN YOU PUT A MOTION LIGHT UP THERE, A BATTERY OPERATED, IT DOESN'T COST A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY AND THEN PARK YOUR CAR, RESUME PARKING YOUR CAR THERE. I SEE WHERE SOMEBODY WAS PARKING THERE.

>> UH-HUH. >> ARE YOU WILLING TO DO THAT? >> YES.

>> OKAY. WHAT I'M GOING TO DO -- HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED TO DO

THAT? >> 30 DAYS. >> I'M GOING TO GIVE HER 30 DAYS TO COMPLY. AND IF YOU -- IF SHE DOES, THE CASE IS OVER WITH.

IF NOT, BRING IT BACK. IT WILL BE THE LAST HEARING I'M GOING TO HAVE IN THIS MATTER.

>> JUST FOR THE RECORD, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THAT WILL BE SEPTEMBER 8TH.

A LITTLE MORE THAN 30 DAYS. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

[L. 21-0982 PK 1415 S Ocean Drive Mobley, Kenethia Heather Debevec]

>> OUR NEXT CASE IS 21-IT # 982, 1415 SOUTH OCEAN DRIVE, KENETHIA MOBLEY.

4N IN YOUR PACKET. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, MAY I PROCEED WITH QUESTIONING FOR THIS ONE? CODE OFFICER DEBEVEC, WERE YOU ASSIGNED TO CASE NUMBER 21-982?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> AND IS THAT -- WAS THAT CASE INITIATED ON MAY 1ST OF THIS

YEAR? >> YES, MA'AM. >> WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF

FORT PIERCE? >> YES, MA'AM. >> WHERE SPECIFICALLY DID THE

VIOLATION OCCUR? >> 1415 SOUTH OCEAN DRIVE. >> WHAT WAS THE NATURE OF THE

VIOLATION YOU OBSERVED? >> A VEHICLE PARKED IN THE BOAT AND TRAILER SECTION WITHOUT A

TRAILER ATTACHED. >> DID YOU TAKE PICTURES OF THE VEHICLE?

>> I DID. >> DID YOU HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW THEM TO MS. MOBLEY?

>> NO, I UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT THIS MORNING. >> WHILE SHE'S LOOKING AT THE PICTURES, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE WOULD MOVE THEM IN AS CITY'S 1 COMPOSITE.

>> IT WILL BE ADMITTED AS SUCH. >> HEATHER, AM I MISSING THEM? >> IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT

[00:30:27]

TO SAY ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS? >> NOT AT THIS TIME. >> WE RESERVE A MINUTE OR SO

FOR REBUTTAL, IF NECESSARY, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. >> THAT IS THE BOAT AND TRAILER AREA RIGHT THERE. YES, MA'AM. ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> NOT AT THIS TIME. >> ALL RIGHT. MA'AM, HAVE YOU BEEN SWORN?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> OKAY. STATE YOUR NAME?

>> KENETHIA MOBLEY? >> HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE ALLEGATIONS?

>> I PAID THE TICKET. I HAVE PROOF THAT I PAID THE TICKET.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THERE HAS BEEN AN ERROR TRANSFERRING DATA FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT.

>> I DO HAVE A BANK STATEMENT WHERE I DID PAY THIS ON JUNE 1ST.

YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THIS RIGHT HERE, JUNE 1ST, CITY OF FORT PIERCE FOR $50.

>> I WISH YOU HAD TOLD US THAT. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TO SIT. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. I'M GLAD. >> APOLOGIZE, MS. MOBLEY.

THERE WAS A WHOLE BATCH OF PAID TICKETS THAT DID NOT PROPERLY TRANSFER TO OUR DEPARTMENT.

I APOLOGIZE FOR YOU COMING HERE TODAY. >> I HAD TO TAKE OFF WORK TO

COME HERE. SO I HAD TO PAY MORE MONEY. >> SORRY ABOUT THAT.

BUT YOU DID AVOID BEING CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $28 BY PAYING A TICKET.

>> GOOD THING EVERYTHING IS ON THE INTERNET NOW. >> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM. >> NEXT CASE.

SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THERE IS TWO TELEPHONE APPEALS. >> OUR NEXT CASE IS 21-1422100 BLOCK NORTH 2ND STREET. MICHAEL GRAY. I'M GOING TO CALL HIM IN.

>> I GOT ANOTHER ONE. >> OKAY. LET'S MOVE ON.

WE CAN TRY ONE MORE TIME AFTER WE GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF MORE CASES.

ALL RIGHT. OUR NEXT ONE IS ALSO TELEPHONIC.

[M. 21-1207 PK Avenue D & N Indian River Drive Randhan, Pamela Heather Debevec]

[00:35:12]

INDIAN ORTH INDIAN DRIVE. >> GOOD MORNING, THIS IS PEGGY WITH THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE. PAMELA, I HAVE YOU ON SPEAKERPHONE IN THE CHAMBERS.

SHE'S READY TO HEAR YOUR CITATION APPEAL. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH TWO QUESTIONS, YESTERDAY THE PHOTOS BEING SUBMITTED WERE E-MAILED TO YOU.

DID YOU RECEIVE THEM? >> YES. >> OUR CLERK IS GOING TO SWEAR YOU IN. PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE

RECORD. >> PAMELA RANDHAN. >> DO YOU SWEAR OR AFFIRM THAT

THE TESTIMONY YOU'RE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH? >> YES.

>> OKAY. SO CODE OFFICER DEBEVEC, THIS IS A PARKING APPEAL, CORRECT?

>> YES. >> OKAY. WERE YOU ASSIGNED TO WORK ON

THIS CASE? >> YES, MA'AM. >> OKAY.

WHEN WERE YOU ASSIGNED TO WORK ON IT? >> JUNE 5TH OF THIS YEAR.

>> WHAT WAS THE NATURE OF THE VIOLATION YOU OBSERVED? >> IT WAS A VEHICLE WITH A TRAILER ATTACHED, PARKED IN A PARKING LOT THAT IS POSTED AS NO TRAILERS.

>> WHAT LOCATION WAS THIS WITHIN THE CITY? >> IT IS THE PARKING LOT AT THE

CORNER OF AVENUE D AND NORTH INDIAN RIVER DRIVE. >> DID YOU TAKE PHOTOS?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> DID THEY FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY DEPICT WHAT YOU SAW?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> AT THIS TIME WE WOULD MOVE THE PHOTOS IN AS CITY'S 1

COMPOSITE. >> WILL BE ADMITTED AS SUCH. >> ARE THESE THE SAME PHOTOS

PROVIDED PREVIOUSLY BY E-MAIL? >> YES, MA'AM. >> IS THERE ANYTHING YOU WANT

TO SAY ABOUT THE PHOTOS? >> NOT AT THIS TIME. >> SO AT THIS TIME, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE HAVE NOTHING FURTHER AND WOULD RESERVE A MINUTE OR SO FOR REBUTTAL IF

NECESSARY. >> THANK YOU. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY RESPONSE TO

THE ALLEGATIONS MADE BY MS. DEBEVEC? >> WELL, I MEAN, THE ONLY THING IS, THE ONLY REASON WHY I AM DISPUTING THIS IS WE HAVE BEEN PARKING OUR -- PUTTING OUR BOAT IN OVER THERE, WE CALL IT THE MANATEE CENTER. FOR A LONG TIME.

AND THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF TIMES WHERE WE HAD TO PARK OVER THERE BECAUSE THERE WAS REGULAR VEHICLES IN OUR PARKING SPACES. AND YOU KNOW, US BOATERS DON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO PARK, WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO PARK IF EVERYBODY IS TAKING UP OUR SPACES.

REGULAR VEHICLES, NOT ANYBODY WITH TRAILERS. I TOOK A BUNCH OF PHOTOS THAT

DAY TO SHOW THAT THERE IS NOWHERE TO PARK. >> MS. RANDHAN, DID YOU PROVIDE

THOSE PHOTOS TO US? >> I DID. I SENT THEM WHEN I REQUESTED TO

DISPUTE IT. >> OKAY. MS. RANDHAN, IF YOU CAN JUST HANG TIGHT FOR A MOMENT, I KNOW I SAW THE PICTURES IN THE FILE. BUT I BELIEVE THAT FILE WAS LEFT IN THE OFFICE. WE'RE GOING TO GO GET IT RIGHT NOW SO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE

CAN SEE THE PHOTOS. MY APOLOGIES. >> THAT'S OKAY.

>> I'M SORRY. >> WHILE HE'S LOOKING FOR THE PICTURES, THIS IS A PICTURE OF

THE ACTUAL PARKING LOT FROM INDIAN RIVER DRIVE? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> IS THIS HER VEHICLE HERE? >> NO. IT'S THE RED VEHICLE. >> RIGHT HERE.

>> THIS VIEW IS LOOKING FROM AVENUE D. >> WE CAN GO OFF THE RECORD

[00:40:47]

TEMPORARILY. >> SO THERE IS NO OBJECTION TO THE PHOTOS COMING IN AS

APPELLATE EXHIBIT, CORRECT? >> THAT'S CORRECT. >> I HAD THE CHANCE TO REVIEW

THE FILES WHEN WE PREPPED THE CASE. >> MS. RANDHAN, I HAVE THE PHOTOS THAT YOU TOOK. EXPLAIN FOR ME WHY YOU'RE SUBMITTING THESE PHOTOS.

>> BECAUSE IF WE WERE TO HAVE A PLACE TO PARK, AND THOSE VEHICLES WEREN'T PARKED IN THE PARKING SPACES FOR THE BOATERS, PEOPLE WITH BOATS AND TRAILERS, WE WOULD HAVE NEVER PARKED OVER THERE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE ALL OF THESE VEHICLES PARKED IN THE PLACES WHERE TRAILERS ARE SUPPOSED TO PARK.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THIS IS THE ONE PROPERTY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF SIGNAGE.

>> AT THIS TIME, NO. THERE IS NO REGULATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS FROM CARS PARKING IN THE BOAT

TRAILER SPOTS IN THIS LOCATION. >> OKAY. IS THIS A DESIGNATED PARKING

SPACE FOR VEHICLES ONLY? >> ACCORDING TO THE SIGN THAT THE CITY HAD POSTED, NO OVERNIGHT PARKING, NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, NO RVS AND NO TRAILERS.

>> I LOOKED AT THE PICTURES. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER? >> NO, MA'AM.

I MEAN, THE PICTURES PLAINLY, YOU CAN PLAINLY SEE THAT YOU KNOW, THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US TO PARK. WE DON'T JUST PARK ANYWHERE. YOU KNOW, WE KNOW, AS BOATERS, WHEN YOU HAVE A TRAILER, YOU HAVE TO PARK IN CERTAIN AREAS. WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT ENDED UP PARKING OVER THERE BECAUSE OF ALL OF THESE VEHICLES PARKED IN OUR SPACES.

YOU KNOW I MEAN, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANYBODY ELSE, BUT I KNOW WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS A LONG TIME. AND YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE ARE PARKED IN YOUR PARKING SPACES,

THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO PARK. >> WELL, THAT IS A PROBLEM. BUT THE SIGN CLEARLY SAYS NO OVERNIGHT PARKING, NO COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, NO RV, NO TRAILERS.

>> WHAT DO WE DO? MOVE THEM OUT OF OUR WAY OR SOMETHING? I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I DON'T FEEL THAT IT'S RIGHT THAT US BOATERS ARE GETTING TAGGED, YOU KNOW, WHEN THESE OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN OUR SPACES, WHEN WHY CAN'T THEY PARK OVER THERE?

>> HOLD ON A MINUTE. >> IF I MAY. THERE ARE TWO COMMENTS FROM STAFF. THE ONE IS IN SUPPORT OF THE CITATION, WHICH WE HAVE HAD THIS AT OTHER PARKS, WHEN THE TRAILER PARKING SPOTS ARE FULL, UNFORTUNATELY YOU NEED TO USE ANOTHER DROP-OFF LOCATION FOR YOUR BOAT. THE SECOND PART IS THAT, AS YOU

[00:45:05]

WHILE WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THE CITATION, BECAUSE IT IS A VIOLATION.

I CAN TELL MS. RANDHAN THAT THE COMPLAINTS THAT WE RECEIVED ARE CAUSING A CHANGE.

WE DID ACTUALLY GIVE IT TO THE CITY MANAGER. THE CITY MANAGER HAS INSTRUCTED THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT TO LOOK INTO THIS, REPAINT, PUT THE PROPER SIGNAGE UP, SO THAT WE COULD CITE THOSE CARS, WHICH WE WERE UNABLE TO CITE BECAUSE THE SIGNAGE DIDN'T EXIST.

THIS IS A SOURCE OF CHANGE. CHANGE WILL BE COMING. I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST.

BUT CHANGE WILL BE COMING. IN THE MEANTIME, WE DO SUPPORT THE CITATION FOR THE FACT THAT

THERE IS A VIOLATION OF THE PARKING. >> DID YOU HEAR THAT, MS.

RANDHAN? >> YES, MA'AM. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, I UNDERSTAND WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO PARK OVER THERE. BUT I MEAN, WE'VE BEEN GOING TO THAT -- I DON'T KNOW. WE'VE BEEN GOING THERE FOR YEARS.

WE PUT IN THERE BECAUSE IT'S EASIER. WE HAVE LITTLE ONES AND IT'S EASIER. AND IT'S NOT SO BUSY, I GUESS. AND THE RAMPS ARE A LOT EASIER TO GET IN AND OUT OF. BUT YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT IS IRRELEVANT.

BUT IT'S JUST -- I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW. AS A -- I'M NOT JUST SAYING IT BECAUSE I HAVE A BOAT. BUT IF I WAS TO GO SOMEWHERE, I SEE THERE IS NOTHING BUT BOAT PARKING, YOU KNOW, WHEN THERE IS LONG PARKING SPACES, IT'S COMMON SENSE TO PARKING,

TRAILER PARKING, NOT FOR REGULAR VEHICLES. >> WELL, I THINK MS. REYES HAS SAID SHE'S ADDRESSED THAT WITH THE CITY MANAGER, THEY'RE TAKING STEPS TO CORRECT IT.

RIGHT NOW, IT IS THE LAW THAT YOU CANNOT PARK THERE IF YOU HAVE A TRAILER.

AND THAT IS UNFORTUNATE. THE OTHER THING IS, I THINK EVERYBODY IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, EVERY OTHER PERSON HAS A BOAT. AND THE CITY IS TRYING TO ADDRESS THAT.

BUT UNTIL IT'S CORRECTED, IT'S STILL A VIOLATION. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> SO BOATERS WILL GET PENALIZED BECAUSE WE HAVE NO PLACE TO PARK? THERE HAS BEEN TIMES THAT WE PUT IN OUR BOAT AND THERE HAS BEEN PARKING SPACES, BUT A REGULAR VEHICLE WILL GET IN THERE BEFORE WE COULD. ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE FIGHTING WITH THEM OR SOMETHING? YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? NO. BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE RIGHT THING TO DO. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST NOT FAIR FOR US BOATERS FOR OTHER

PEOPLE TO BE PARKING IN OUR PARKING SPACES. >> WELL, A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE TESTIMONY, GOT CITED THAT DAY AS WELL. YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

>> WHY DON'T THEY HAVE OVERFLOW PARKING OVER THERE FOR US BOATERS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. I COULD SEE YOU KNOW, DURING THE NIGHTTIME, NO, THAT IS A NO NO. YEAH. I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I MEAN, IT'S NOT THAT WE WERE IN THE WAY, WHENEVER MY HUSBAND DID PARK, WE DIDN'T PARK IN THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES, WHERE THEY CAN'T GET IN AND OUT. BECAUSE THERE WAS OBVIOUSLY ONE BEHIND US.
