[A. 22-1663 PK South Causeway Park Clifton Lovell Michael Rabenecker]

THE FIRST CASE WILL BE 22-1663, SOUTH CAUSEWAY PARK.

CLIFTON LOVELL. >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: GOOD MORNING, YOUR HONOR. I AM MICHAEL RABENECKER, EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AS A PARKING SPECIALIST.

TODAY BEFORE YOU IS CASE NUMBER 22-1663, PARKING CITATION WRITTEN AT SOUTH CAUSEWAY PARK. THE CASE WAS INITIATED ON MAY 14, 2022. THE VIOLATOR CAME BACK AS A CLIFTON LOVELL. THE CITATION NUMBER WRITTEN IS 1776. PARKING CITATION CODE VIOLATION OF 34-35-O, PROHIBITED PARKING AT ALL TIMES.

THE CITY IS ASKING THAT A $50 FINE BE ASSESSED.

ADMINISTRATION FEE FOR A TOTAL DO OF $60.

THE CITY REQUESTED IF THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FINDS THAT THE VIOLATION, THAT WILL BE ASSESSED THE TOTAL DUE AND FAILURE TO PAY A FINE WILL RESULT IN THE CITATION BEING FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM.

THIS CASE IS AN APPEAL. I HAVE PHOTOS TO INTRODUCE AS EVIDENCE AND THEY ARE DATE STAMPED AND ACCURATELY PORTRAY

THE VIOLATION AS I WITNESSED IT. >> WAS THIS ONE OF THE CITATION

THAT'S WAS AMENDED? >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: YES,

MA'AM. >> THIS WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN FOR SUBSECTIONSS, PARK THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY AND AMENDED TO

SUBSECTIONSO? >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: YES --

YEAH, WAS AMENDED TO AN O. >> YES, SIR.

DOES THE PHOTOS FAIRLY DEPICT THE ALLEGATIONS AS YOU OBSERVE

THEM. >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: YES,

MA'AM. >> DID YOU SEE IT LAST TIME.

>> I SAW IT THE LAST I AM AT THE HEARING.

I LOOKED AT THEM -- >> DO YOU NEED TO SEE THEM

AGAIN? >> AS WE GO THROUGH THE CASE, I

WOULD LIKE TO REFER TO THEM. >> THEY WILL BE UP ON THE SCREEN. AT THIS TIME, THE CITY WILL MOVE INTO EVIDENCE EXHIBIT 1, THE PHOTOGRAPHS.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THEY WOULD BE ADMITTED AS SUCH.

ANYTHING FURTHER? >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: NO, YOUR

HONOR. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SIR, STATE

YOUR NAME. >> CLIFTON LOVELL.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THE ALLEGATIONS?

>> NOT GUILTY. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHAT WOULD

YOU LIKE TO TELL ME? >> FIRST, YOUR HONOR -- SHOULD I

ADDRESS YOU AS YOUR HONOR -- >> MY MAMA NAMED ME FRAN, BUT

YOU CAN CALL ME WHATEVER. >> I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO ADDRESS YOU. THAT IS WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION. ORIGINALLY THE CHARGE WAS PARKING IN THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY.

THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL CHARGE. ABOUT THE CHARGE NUMBER 40-5S.

I SAT DOWN WITH THIS GENTLEMAN AND HE SHOWED ME THE PICTURES.

AND I SAID WHY WOULD YOU GIVE ME A CITATION FOR SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS SHOWING THAT I AM VIOLATING ANY ORDINANCE. HE SHOWED ME ALL THE PICTURES AND TRIED TO SHOW ME THAT I AM THERE.

AND I SAID, WELL, LOOK, NO SIGNS.

HE SAID, LOOK, THERE IS GRASS. I SAID WHAT DOES GRASS HAVE TO DO WITH WHERE I AM PARKING. THERE ARE NO SIGNS.

WHEN I COME HERE, SUDDENLY THE CHARGE WAS CHANGED.

I ASKED -- WILL THE CHARGE BE THE SAME WHEN I COME BACK ON THE 20TH. AND I WAS TOLD YES.

WHEN I GOT THE SUMMONS IN THE MAIL, I SAW A LINE DRAWN THROUGH THE CHARGE OF PARK IN CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY.

I WAS NOT PARKED -- I SHOWED IMI WAS NOT IN THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY. THE CAR WAS OFF.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES WHERE THE CARS ARE.

[00:10:01]

TWO DIFFERENT CHARGES. WHEN YOU REALIZE YOU DID NOT GIVE ME THE RIGHT CHARGE, YOU CANNOT COME IN MIDSTREAM AND CHANGE THE CHARGE TO A NEW ONE AFTER TELLING ME, HEY, IT IS THE SAME THING THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CHARGES, YOUR HONOR.

THAT IS MY NUMBER ONE CONTENTION.

YOU SEE A LINE IS DRAWN IN PARKED THROUGH CITY.

AND THE SIDE IS NOW CHANGED. WITH A NEW CHARGE.

THAT IS NOT WHAT I WAS CHARGED FOR BY HIM.

HE CAN NOT JUST -- THE COURT CANNOT CHANGE THE CHARGE AT WILL. IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER.

AND I'M HERE TO CONTEND THE ORIGINAL CHARGE.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF YOU RECALL WHEN IT WAS HERE LAST TIME, WHEN I REVIEWED IT. IT WAS ASKED TO BE AMENDED TO O FROM S. MR. RABENECKER WAS HERE.

WE DID ASK TO AMEND THAT. THE COURT, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, GRANTED PERMISSION TO AMEND THE RESPONDENT OBJECTED TO THAT OVER HIS OBJECTION, YOU GRANTED OUR REQUEST.

THE AMENDMENT WAS MADE. THE AMENDED CITATION WAS SENT TO HIM AS WE INDICATED IT WOULD BE AND WE ABSOLUTELY HAVE THE ABILITY TO AMEND ANY CHARGE AT ANY POINT IN TIME.

>> I AGREE TO THE NEW NUMBER. THE NEW NUMBER THAT WAS GIVEN, THAT IS ALL I AGREED TO. NOT KNOWING THAT THE NEW NUMBER

WAS A NEW CHARGE. >> SIR, DO YOU REMEMBER I

ACTUALLY READ IT OUT TO YOU? >> NO, I DON'T REMEMBER THAT.

YOU DID NOT READ THE NEW CHARGE TO ME.

YOU READ OUT THE NEW NUMBER. YOU SAID THERE WILL BE A NEW NUMBER. I SAID, OKAY.

SINCE IT IS A NEW NUMBER, I WILL AGREE TO THE NEW NUMBER.

SO I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I CAME AND I SAW A LINE DRAWN THROUGH THE ORIGINAL CHARGE AND THE NEW CHARGE PLACED IN THERE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SIR -- >> YES, MA'AM.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALMOST EVERY AGENCY THAT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO ISSUE CITATIONS OR EVEN BRING CRIMINAL CHARGES HAVE THE RIGHT TO AMEND THE DOCUMENT SO THAT IS COMPLIES WITH THE CURRENT VIOLATION SO THEY WERE IN THE RIGHT TO SAY THIS IS THE WRONG LETTER AND AMENDED THE LETTER.

NONE OF THE FACTS CHANGE. >> BUT TO MY DISADVANTAGE TO BE

CHANGING THE CHARGE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING THE LAW AND I HAD CHARGES AMENDED BEFORE WE GET TO TRIAL BECAUSE LOOKED AT EVIDENCE AND SAID THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT.

IS YOUR CAR PARKED THERE AS THE PHOTOS REPRESENT.

>> MY CAR WAS PARKED THERE, BUT I WILL CONTEND THAT THE SECOND CHARGE IS ALSO NOT GUILTY. THE SECOND CHARGE IS ALSO NOT GUILTY BASED ON THE PHOTO AND WHAT THE CHARGE IS.

THE CHARGE IS SAYING PARKING PROHIBITED ALL TIMES.

NOW IF YOU LOOK, YOUR HONOR, ON THE FRONT -- WHEN YOU COME INTO

-- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DO YOU SEE WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN NOW. PARKING IN DESIGNATED SPACES

ONLY. >> YES, I DO SEE THAT.

THERE ARE OTHER PICTURES SHOWING THE OTHER CARS PARKED IN OTHER AREAS AND THERE IS NO SIGN SAYING DESIGNATED AREA.

THE CARS ARE JUST PARKED IN THE SAND.

NOTHING IS WRITTEN DESIGNATED AREA.

THE SIDE WHERE THE CAR ARE PARKED THERE ARE NO SIGNS.

I WOULD LIKE -- WHAT IS HIS NAME, PLEASE, MAY I ASK.

I WOULD LIKE THE OFFICER TO SHOW ME WHERE A SIGN IS IN FRONT OF WHERE I AM PARKED SAYING I AM NOT ALLOW TO PARK THERE.

THAT IS NUMBER ONE, BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING THERE SAYING "NO PARKING." THE SIDE OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF WHERE MY CAR IS, THERE ARE A LOT OF BIG SANDY AREA WHERE CARS ARE PARKED. AND NO SIGN SAYING DESIGNATED AREA OR "NO PARKING." CARS ARE PARKED ALONG THAT SANDY AREA ON THE RIGHT SIDE. CARS ARE WORKED THERE.

THERE IS NOTHING THERE SAYING DESIGNATED AREA.

WHEN YOU COME INTO THE AREA THE SIGN THAT WAS UP FIRST THAT SAID PARKING IN DESIGNATED AREAS ONLY.

[00:15:03]

THIS IS A DESIGNATED AIR DWLA FOR PARKING.

WHERE MY CAR IS PARKED, THERE IS NOTHING SAYING THAT I CANNOT PARK THERE. NOTHING.

HE TOLD ME, HEY, DON'T YOU SEE THERE IS GRASS THERE.

I SAY WHAT DOES GRASS HAVE TO DO WITH WHERE I AM PARKING? THE OTHER CARS -- THEY ARE PARKED IN SAND.

THERE IS NOT ONE SIGN IN THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD SAYING THIS IS A DESIGNATED AREA FOR PARKING.

SO IF YOU -- THIS ONE IS SAYING -- NOT SAYING ANYTHING THAT YOU CANNOT PARK HERE. WHY SHOULD I BE ISSUED A SUMMONS WHEN THERE ARE NO SIGNS TELLING ME I CAN'T PARK THERE.

AND NO SIGNS TELLING PEOPLE WHERE THEY CAN PARK.

THAT IS MY CONTENTION. NO SIGNS.

BUT AT THE ENTRANCE THEY HAVE THE SIGN PARK IN DESIGNATED AREA. WHERE ARE THE DESIGNATED AREAS? THEY ARE NOT LABELED. WHERE I AM PARKED, IT IS NOT LABELED. YOUR HONOR, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE DISMISS THIS CASE BASED ON THAT.

>> IF I MAY FOLLOW UP WITH MR. RABENECKER.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES. >> HOW ARE THE SPOTS DESIGNATED?

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: SEE WHERE THE PARK IS WHERE THE TRUCK.

THERE ARE PARKING BUMPERS WHERE YOU PULL IN AND THE SANDY AREA BEHIND HIS VEHICLE IS KIND OF OPEN PARKING.

BUT WHERE HE IS PARK, IT IS NOT A DESIGNATED SPOT.

THERE IS NO PARKING BUMPER THERE.

>> MAY I SPEAK. SO IS IT A PARKING BUMPER THAT SAYS THAT IS WHERE YOU PARK? SO YOU ARE SAYING A BUMP IN AREA SAYS PARK HERE. WHAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

NO BUMP IN THE AREA. PARK HERE.

IS THAT THE LAW WHAT IS WRITTEN HERE? BECAUSE YOU DO NOT -- I CAN READ.

AND THERE IS NO -- THERE IS NO BUMP AREA.

SO WHAT. A BUMP IN AREA DOES NOT SAY YOU CAN PARK HERE AND NO BUMP IN THE AREA SAYS YOU EXPECT PARK HERE.

GRASS DOES NOT SAY YOU CAN'T PARK HERE.

IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO PARK IN A PARTICULAR SPOT, THERE SHOULD BE A SIGN SAYING DO NOT PARK HERE.

IF YOU WANT ME TO PARK IN A PARTICULAR SPOT, YOU SHOULD HAVE A SIGN SAYING "DESIGNATED PARKING." YOU CAN'T RANDOMLY GIVE A TICKET BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE GIVING A TICKET AND NOTHING TO SAY I CAN'T PARK THERE.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT. THE WHOLE -- NOTHING INDICATING THAT YOU CAN OR CANNOT PARK IN THE AREA.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I AM NOT SURE IF HE IS ATTEMPT TO CROSS MICHAEL RABENECKER OR ARGUING AT THIS POINT.

I WOULD LIKE TO CLARIFY IF HE WOULD LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS.

HE MAY DO SO IN CROSS EXAMINATION.

>> I AM SORRY. I DID NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR PROCEDURE. I THOUGHT WHEN HE SPOKE I WAS ABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT IT. I APOLOGIZE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT IS FINE.

ANYTHING FURTHER YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY?

>> ONLY IF THE OFFICER MAKES A COMMENT CONCERNING -- THEN I

WOULD LIKE TO QUESTION HIM. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MR. RABENECKER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY?

>> IS. >> NO, YOUR HONOR.

>> ANYTHING FURTHER YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY?

>> NO, YOUR HONOR. >> BLESS YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WE FREQUENTLY HAVE PEOPLE COMING IN HERE ABOUT THE PARKING, THE LACK OF PARKING IN PUBLIC AREAS IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE.

THE CITY IS TRYING TO WORK ON IT.

I DRIVE THROUGH THIS AREA JUST TO RELAX.

BUT CLEARLY, IN THE PHOTO THAT IS ON THE SCREEN, YOU GOT DESIGNATED SPACES FOR HANDICAP PARKING.

THERE IS NO OTHER LETTERING OR ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT YOU CAN PARK WHERE YOU PARK. THEY ARE DESIGNATED.

SO BASED ON THAT, I WILL FIND THAT YOU ARE IN VIOLATION.

I WILL ORDER THAT YOU PAY A $50 FINE, $10 ADMINISTRATION FEE.

TOTAL $60. YOU HAVE 14 DAYS TO PAY.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY DECISION, YOU CAN -- WE CAN FORWARD THIS OVER TO THE COUNTY CLERK SYSTEM AND THEY WILL PROCESS THE CASE THERE. AND YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT YOU WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL FEES AND COSTS IF IT

GOES OVER THERE. >> WHERE DO I MAKE THE PAYMENT IF I WANT TO MAKE THE PAYMENT NOW?

[00:20:02]

>> I CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THE LADY

FROM THE CITY CAN HELP YOU. >> I CAN TAKE CARE OF THAT RIGHT

NOW. >> I DON'T THINK SPECIAL MAGISTRATE INFORMED HIM OF HIS 30 DAYS TO APPEAL.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU HAVE 30 DAY TO APPEAL.

>> I WILL PAY. NEXT CASE, MADAM CLERK.

[B. 22-1921 PK 400 Blk North Indian River Drive Fred Clinton Ooley Jr Michael Rabenecker]

>> 22-1921, 400 BLOCK NORTH INDIAN RIVER DRIVE, FRED CLINTON

I HAVE PHOTOS AND ACURA THELY DATE AND TIME STAMPED PORTRAYING AS I WITNESSED IT. SIGNS IN THE PARKING LOT INDICATING "NO BOAT TRAILERS." WE HAVE ADDITIONAL PHOTOS IN

ANOTHER FILE BOOK. >> DOES SHE NEED TO SEE THEM?

>> I HAVEN'T SEEN. >> IS THIS AN APPEAL.

>> I HOPE YOU HAVE THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT IN MY --

>> ARE THEY IN THAT PACKET? >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: THEY ARE

IN THAT PACKET. >> THESE TWO ARE THE MAIN ONES AS LONG AS THOSE ARE THERE, THANK YOU.

>> WHAT WE WILL DO SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IS MOVE IN THESE PHOTOGRAPHS. I HAVE ADDITIONAL ONES FOR MR. RABENECKER TO REVIEW TOO TO MAKE SURE THEY FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY REPRESENT THAT PARKING LOT. THE PHOTOS FROM THE CITY FAIRLY DEPICT THE VIOLATION AS YOU OBSERVED IT?

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: YES, MA'AM.

>> DO WE HAVE ANY PAPER CLIPS? WE WILL MOVE INTO EVIDENCE COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 1, THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT'S MR. RABENECKER TOOK ON BEHALF OF THE RESPONDENT, WE WILL MOVE IN HER CITATION APPEAL, HER NARRATIVE AND HER PHOTOGRAPHS AS RESPONDENT EXHIBIT 1. THIS.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THEY WILL BE ADMITTED AS SUCH.

>> THAT IS NOT MINE. >> THOSE ARE OUR PHOTOS FOR YOU TO REVIEW. THE SECOND SET OF CITY PHOTOGRAPHS, MR. RABENECKER, ARE THESE PHOTOS THAT YOU TOOK

YESTERDAY OR TODAY? >> TODAY.

>> WAS THAT TO SHOW THE OVERALL PARKING LOT OF THAT AREA?

>> OF THE MANATEE CENTER, YES. >> TO BE CLEAR, NOT THE DAY OF

THE VIOLATION BUT OF TODAY? >> CORRECT, OF TODAY.

>> THE PARKING LOT, THE LINING, THE STRIPING, EVERYTHING IS THE

SAME. >> RIGHT.

THERE IS SOME PARKING SPOTS THERE THAT ARE DESIGNATED BOAT TRAILERS ONLY. AND THE PARKING SPOTS IN THE MIDDLE, A BLACK AND WHITE LINE INDICATING ITS CARS OR BOAT

TRAILERS. >> SO DO THESE PHOTOGRAPHS FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY DEPICT HOW THE PARKING LOT AND ON THE DAY OF THE VIOLATION EXCEPT WHERE THE VEHICLES ARE PARKED?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> I AM GOING TO GET A PAPER CLIP, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, MOVE THIS COMPOSITE EXHIBIT INTO

CITY'S COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 2. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IT WILL BE

NOTED AS SUCH. >> THANK YOU.

I NEED TO GET, LIKE, A LITTLE TRAY.

PAPER CLIP FOR THAT PACKET.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MA'AM, HOW DO YOU RESPOND?

>> NOT GUILTY, YOUR HONOR. THE PICTURES HE TOO CAN THIS MORNING NATURALLY NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE AT THE CAUSEWAY BECAUSE

[00:25:03]

AND I FEEL THAT WE ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST.

WE PAY OUR TAXES. WHY CAN'T WE USE THE OVERFLOW PARKING LIKE THE CARS. THERE IS MORE THAN AMPLE CAR PARKING ALL AROUND THAT AREA, BOAT TRAILER PARKING IS NOT VERY ADEQUATE. AND SO WE WENT TO THE FURTHEST ONE THAT WE COULD TO TRY TO GET PARKING ON THAT DAY, WHICH IS A WEEKEND, AND THAT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WERE YOU PRESENT THE DAY --

>> YES, MA'AM. I WAS HOLDING THE POET WHILE MY HUSBAND PARKED THE TRUCK. THOSE PICTURES IN EVIDENCE, NEITHER ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES GOT A TICKET THAT DAY EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE PARKED IN BOAT TRAILER PARKING ONLY.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW DID YOU KNOW THEY DIDN'T GET A

TICKET? >> BECAUSE I CALLED AND ASKED AND THE OWNER TOOK A -- THEY DROVE IT AWAY AND ASKED WHY I WAS TAKING A PICTURE. WE WERE PARKED IN THEIR PARKING AND THIS HE QUICKLY MOVED THEIR VEHICLES.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT, ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> WOMAN. I ASK THAT IT BE EQUITABLE

. >> I FEEL THAT BOTH THE VEHICLES SHOULD BE ABLE TO PARK THERE. IT IS ONLY RIGHT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CITY IS ADDRESSING THE PARKING SITUATION IN THE PUBLIC PARKING LOTS.

I HEARD ON THE NEWS RECENTLY THAT FLORIDA HAS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INCREASE IN BOATERS. PEOPLE BUYING BOATS AND THEY ARE OUT ON THE WATER. IT'S -- IT HAS JUST CREATED SOME PROBLEMS SUCH AS THE ONE THAT YOU ALL INCURRED.

BUT YOU STILL CAN'T VIOLATE THE LAW.

>> OKAY, BUT THEN THAT IS NOT VERY FAIR THAT THOSE CAR ARE PARKING IN OUR AREA. THEY ARE NOT GETTING TICKETS BUT WE ARE. OUR TAXES ARE PAYING FOR THAT PROPERTY. BUT WE ARE BEING DISCRIMINATED AS BOATERS TO EVEN BE ABLE TO PARK THERE.

THERE IS NO PARKING ANYWHERE OVER THERE FOR BOATERS, BUT THERE IS MORE THAN AMPLE PARKING FOR CARS.

I FEEL THAT AREA SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE SHARED EQUITABLE.

LIKE WE ARE HONESTLY BEING DISCRIMINATED WHEN THOSE CARS CAN PARK UP AND DOWN THE DRIVE. THERE IS THE VETERANS CENTER.

THERE IS THE YACHT CENTER. AND MANATEE CENTER ONLY DESIGNATED CAR PARKING. WE HAVE, MAKE, LIKE 20 SPOTS AND THAT'S IT. THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE OVERFLOW FOR BOTH. THAT WOULD BE WHAT IS FAIR.

AND I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A PROBLEM.

AND I UNDERSTAND NOT ALL THE PROBLEMS CAN BE FIXED AT ONCE.

I GET THAT. BUT I FEEL THAT SHOULD BE SHARED AREA FOR THE TIME BEING UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WELL, THE CITY IS WORKING ON THAT.

THERE IS A PARKING COMMITTEE THAT IS WORKING ON THIS PROBLEM.

[00:30:03]

TO BE FIXED. >> I AGREE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ANYTHING FURTHER?

>>. >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: NO, YOUR

HONOR. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I AM GOING TO FINE YOU THE $50. I AM NOT GOING TO DO THE $ $10 ADMIN FEE. YOU HAVE 14 DAYS TO PAY.

FAILURE TO PAY IT WITHIN THAT PERIOD OF TIME CAN RESULT TO THE TICKET BEING SENT OVER TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM WILL YOU WILL INCUR ADDITIONAL FEES AND COSTS.

YOU HAVE 30 TEES TO APPEAR. >> WAS THERE A SPECIFIC FINDING

SHE IS IN VIOLATION. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES, SHE IS IN VIOLATION. THERE IS A PARKING COMMITTEE,

RIGHT? >> THERE IS, MA'AM.

AND THE MOST RECENT DECISION -- AND IT WAS APPROVED BY THE CITY MANAGER AND DIRECTED WAS TO INCREASE THE CAR PARK IN THAT PARKING LOT. THEY TOOK THE BOAT TRAILER PARKING WHICH IS A LONG SPACE AND ACTUALLY PUT DOTTED LINES DOWN THE MIDDLE AND CAN BE CAR OR BOAT TRAILER.

SO, PLEASE, YES, THE PARKING COMMITTEE IS OPEN TO ALL SUGGESTIONS BUT THE MOST RECENT CHANGE WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE AND INCREASING THE CAR PARKING AT THAT LOCATION.

>> AND I AM LOOKING FOR THE NEXT PARKING COMMITTEE MEETING.

>> I CAN GIVE THAT TO YOU IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WAS JUST ABOUT TO ASK, PLEASE.

>> THEY JUST HAD ONE IN THE 13TH.

>> THE SECOND WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH.

>> IT SHOULD BE AUGUST. SO THE NEXT PARKING COMMITTEE

MEETING IS AUGUST 10. >> IS IT IN THE MORNING LIKE

THIS? >> I AM NOT SURE.

>> 9 A.M. >> I AM A SCHOOLTEACHER SO THAT

IS NOT GOING TO BE POSSIBLE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU ARE

BREAKING MY HEART. >> CAN'T ENJOY IT IN THE

WEEKEND. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I TAUGHT

SCHOOL. >> WRITTEN E-MAILS AND LETTERS AND GO THROUGH THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND ALL THAT CONTACT INFORMATION ON THE WEB SITE AND RELAYED TO THE PARKING COMMITTEE. HAVE A COPY OF THE ISSUE.

>> THANK YOU. >> POLICE OOLEY, IS IT.

>> POLICE OOLEY. LIKE OOH-LA-LA.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: LISTEN, YOU MAKE A COMPELLING ARGUMENT.

IF YOU CAN ATTEND THAT MEETING, IF -- IF YOU CAN ATTEND THAT MEETING, IT WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL NOT ONLY TO YOURSELF BUT ALL THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE.

>> BUT I GOT TO GET SPECIAL PERMISSION FROM MY PRINCIPAL TO NOT BE THERE FOR MY LITTLE 20 BABIES.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHAT GRADE.

>> I TEACH FIRST AND SECOND TOGETHER.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT. YEAH, YOU MAKE A COMPELLING ARGUMENT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME WE HAD PEOPLE COME IN AND COMPLAIN OF THE LACK OF PARKING FOR THE

BOAT TRAILERS. >> I FEEL IT IS DISCRIMINATION, YOU KNOW. OUR TAXES -- THEY ARE GATHERED EQUALLY. WHY NOT DISTRIBUTE IT EQUALLY, YOU KNOW, IT SHOULD BE -- ACCESS --

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I DON'T THINK THE CITY -- NO CITIES AND -- IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WAS PREPARED FOR THIS -- ALL THESE PEOPLE NOW BUYING BOATS.

>> THE INFLICKS, I AGREE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT IS PART OF THE PROBLEM. THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

>> YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE LENIENCY OF BOAT PARKING IS ONE WAY THEY CAN DO IT UNTIL THEY SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

I THINK THAT IS WHERE IT IS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I THINK WE HEAR YOU, LOUD AND CLEAR. I THINK WE HEAR YOU.

[E. 22-931 CE 428 N 11th St Jerry & Theresa Wilson Isaac Saucedo]

>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND.

>> DARYL ASHLEY. THERE ARE NO PARKING SIGNS HERE.

WE ARE IN THE SAME THING AS THE LAST A LADY THAT ARE HERE.

WE ARE AT THE MANATEE CENTER AND I HAVE BEEN IN FORT PIERCE SINCE

[00:40:02]

YOU CAN SEE I AM OFF THE ROAD AND NO SIGNS THAT SAID NO PARKING. I DID NOT PARK IN A DESIGNATED PARKING AREA BECAUSE SAYS NO TRAILERS AND RVS PLUS A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE WITH TICKETS. I PARKED ALL THE BY A OVER OFF THE ROAD ON BACKUS AVENUE. AND YOU CAN SEE THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SIGNS THERE THAT SAYS "NO PARKING."

THAT'S ABOUT IT. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I THINK MR. RABENECKER HAS SOMETHING HE WOULD LIKE TO INFORM THE COURT.

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: ALSO TO POINT OUT THAT THE VEHICLE IS FACING THE WRONG DIRECTION AS WELL.

THE RIGHT TIRES NEED TO BE ON THE CURB IF THEY WERE PARKING,

BUT ALSO -- >> AND I THINK THESE PARKING LOTS, THEY ARE DESIGNATED BY THE PILLAR THAT ARE THERE.

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: YEAH, AND NOT THE OUTSIDE.

>> WHERE HE IS ACTUALLY PARKED. IS THAT PRIVATE PROPERTY?

>> THAT IS CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY. >> LET ME CLARIFY THAT QUESTION.

I KNOW HE IS ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, BUT TO THE LEFT OF WHERE HE IS PARKED IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH, WAS THAT A PRIVATE PARCEL OR PUBLIC PARCEL. WHO OWNS THAT?

>> THE CITY, THAT IS THE CITY PARKING LOT.

>> PART OF THE CITY'S LOT AS WELL.

>> I AM WEST OF THE CITY PARKING LOT.

THERE IS. 24E6 THOSE POSTS AND I WOULD NOT GO INSIDE THOSE POSTS BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW WHO OWNS THE PROPERTY. I KNOW THE CITY OWNS THE

RIGHT-OF-WAY THERE. >> I WAS ASKING ABOUT THE DO YOU HAVE A POINTER. I KNOW THIS IS NOT A POPULAR STATEMENT I AM GOING TO MAKE BUT WE HAVE BEEN DIRECTED BY OUR MANAGEMENT TO SHARE THAT WE DO HAVE LIMITED BOAT PARKING.

IT'S A FACT. AND IF THE BOAT PARKING IS FILLED, THAT MEANS THE PARK IS FILLED, AND THE BOAT OWNER HAS TO USE A DIFFERENT LOCATION. THAT HAS BEEN SHARED TO US BY OUR UPPER MANAGEMENT AND WE ARE SHARING IT AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

THERE IS LIMITED BOAT PARKING. IF IT IS FULL, IT IS FULL.

AND YOU NEED TO GO TO A DIFFERENT LOCATION.

I KNOW IT IS NOT A POPULAR, HAPPY MESSAGE TO DELIVER, BUT THAT IS WHAT THE RULES ARE. THERE IS DESIGNATED BOAT PARKING. WHEN THOSE SPOTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, THEN THE PARK IS FULL, AND ANOTHER LOCATION NEEDS

TO BE UTILIZED. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I AM GOING TO ASK YOU TO EXPLAIN THIS, IF YOU CAN.

WHAT IS THE CITY DOING TO CREATE PARKING SPOTS FOR THE BOATERS? BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING PEOPLIZED -- PENALIZED.

I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW, BUT. >> WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN -- NO THE POPULAR BUT THIS IS THE WAY IT IS GOING.

THIS IS DOWNTOWN AND NOT GOING TO IMPACT HERE.

IN THE ISLAND WE ARE IMPLEMENTING A PAID PARKING.

WITH THAT PAID PARKING, ST\. LUCIE COUNTY RESIDENTS WILL RECEIVE FREE PARKING PASSES. BUT ANYONE FROM -- VISITING FROM OUTSIDE ST.\ LUCIE COUNTY WILL HAVE TO PAY.

BECAUSE WE ARE BEING INUNDATED. PEOPLE COME FROM FT. LAUDERDALE AND MIAMI. WE ARE LITERALLY BEING INUNDATED BECAUSE OUR RAMPS ARE FREE AND OUR PARKING IS FREE AND A DRAW TO THE OUTSIDE AREA. WE ARE HOPING RESTRITING OUTSIDE ST. LUCIE COUNTY WHICH INCLUDES THE BOAT RAMPS ALREADY ARE PROVIDE MORE PARKING FOR OUR RESIDENTS BOTH CITY AND COUNTY TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE THE PARKING SPOTS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, A PARKING STUDY IS GOING ON.

THE PARKING COMMITTEE IS LOOKING AT IT AT THE BEHEST OF THE CITY COMMISSION. IT IS A NEEDS ASSESSMENT.

AND WE NEED IT. NOT A QUESTION.

THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT WAS LAST PRESENTED AT THE LAST PARKING COMMITTEE MEETING AND THEY WILL BE PRESENT THAT TO THE COMMISSION VERY SOON. IT IS ON ONGOING WORK IN PROGRESS, BUT THEY ARE THE FACTS AS THEY ARE TODAY.

>> THERE ARE STILL NO SIGNS THAT SAYS "DO NOT PARK."

>> CORRECT, SIR. WE CAN NOT PUT A "DO NOT PARK" ON EVERY RIGHT-OF-WAY IN THE CITY.

EVERY SIDE EVERY TEN FEET WOULD REQUIRE A FINE.

>> WE ARE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THIS? >> YES, SIR.

>> I HAVE TO LOOK IT UP. I DON'T --

>> ALL OF OUR ORDINANCES ARE ONLINE.

IT'S CALLED MUNI CODE. BASICALLY EVERY COUNTY AND CITY

[00:45:02]

AND THERE IS A LINK ON THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE TO READ ALL OF THOSE. THE PARKING CITATIONS -- PARKING ORDINANCES 34-35 ARE THE ORDINANCES FOR PARKING IN THAT

CHAPTER. >> SO EVERY BOAT RAMP -- THAT IS A PROBLEM IN OUR CITY AND COUNTY.

WE HAVE NO ROOM FOR BOATS. AND I MEAN, WE GET OUT HERE EARLY. WHEN YOU UNLOAD YOUR BOATS AND PUT ALL YOUR GEAR AND EVERYTHING, LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT, YOU HAVE GOT ANOTHER FOUR OR FIVE PEOPLE YOU ARE HOLDING UP YOU ARE KIND OF IN A ROCK AND A HARD SPOT HERE 37 LIKE I SAID, THERE IS NO -- NO SIGNS AND I AM WELL AWAY FROM THE PARKING AREA WITH THE GRASS PARKING AREA.

WHICH YOU CAN'T PARK THERE ANYWAY.

SO -- >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE DISCRETION OF YOUR FINE.

IT IS UP TODAY 500. THE CITY'S RECOMMENDATION IS $50. YOU HAVE A DISCRETION ANYWHERE IN THAT RANGE OF ZERO TECHNICALLY TODAY 500 FOR WHAT FINE. BUT I BELIEVE THE EVIDENCE IS THAT THE VIOLATION EXISTS. BUT THEN IT WOULD BE YOUR

DISCRETION WHAT FINE TO ENACT. >> I AM BEGINNING TO THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE A SPECIAL DAY TO DEAL WITH PARKING CITATIONS.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MR. ASHLEY, I HATE TO IMPOSE A FINE ON YOU, BUT I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW.

THAT IS MY JOB HERE. AS I STATED EARLIER, THERE HAS BEEN AN INFLUX OF BOAT OWNERS IN FLORIDA, PERIOD.

JUST EVERYBODY OWNS A BOAT NOW. EVERYBODY BUT ME AND THERE IS A

PARKING COMMITTEE. >> YES, MA'AM.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THEY ARE WORKING ON IT.

HOW LONG DID YOU LIVE IN THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND ST.

LUCIE COUNTY. >> SINCE '70.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SINCE '70. >> NOT ONLY THE PARKING COMMITTEE -- DOES PARKING COME UP IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION HERE AND THERE. ANY TIME IT IS ON THE AGENDA, EVERYONE CAN COME AND SPEAK TO THE COMMISSION.

THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE WEB SITE, THEIR AGENDAS ARE POSTED SO YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH ANY TIMING IS WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE COMMISSION OR THE PARKING COMMITTEE.

ANY COMMISSION OR PARKING MEETING WILL TELL YOU WHAT IS ON THE AGENDA FOR THE DAY. SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME TO SPEAK ON, YOU ARE PERFECTLY WITHIN YOUR RIGHTS TO DO THAT.

>> I AM PROBABLY GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE FROM THIS COMMISSIONER, BUT COMMISSIONER PERONA. HE HAS OPEN DOOR HOURS EVERY WEDNESDAY THAT ANYBODY IS WELCOME TO COME IN AND MEET WITH HIM. THAT IS ANOTHER AVENUE.

JUST PROVIDING YOU AVENUE TO FOLLOW.

>> FOR THE RECORD WHEN IT IS WRITTEN AND TYPED OFF, MR. RAYS SAID THAT. IT WAS MR. RAYS THAT SAID THAT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THIS IS DIFFICULT FOR ME, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU. ALL RIGHT.

I FINED THE SCHOOLTEACHER, WHICH BROKE MY HEART, BECAUSE I TAUGHT SCHOOL FOR THREE YEARS. ALL RIGHT, MR. ASHLEY, I AM GOING TO FIND THAT YOU ARE IN VIOLATION BUT I AM GOING TO CHARGE YOU $25. AND YOU HAVE 14 DAYS TO PAY.

>> OKAY. WELL, THANK YOU.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WELL, IT'S -- JUST -- THIS IS DIFFICULT FOR

[00:50:01]

FOR, YOU KNOW -- DID YOU GIVE ME THOSE TICKETS, MR. RABENECKER?

>> I THINK SO. >> GOT ME ONCE TOO.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HE WILL TICKETS YOU.

HE WILL. HE DOES HIS JOB.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT 30 DAYS TO APPEAL, IF YOU DON'T PAY THE $25, IT CAN GO OVER TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM AND YOU WILL HAVE COURT COSTS AND ALL THAT STUFF.

TRUST ME, I AM HEARING Y'ALL LOUD AND CLEAR.

AND I AM -- TRUST ME, THIS DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH ME AT ALL.

>> YES, MA'AM. I JUST WANT TO SAY ONE THING.

IT IS NO THE ABOUT THE MONEY. IT'S ABOUT PARKING.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: AND WHAT HAPPENED -- ABOUT A YEAR AGO WE HAD A COUPLE COME IN HERE. AND THEY WERE JUST DRIVING.

THEY DECIDED TO GO ON SOUTH BEACH.

AND THEY LOVED IT SO MUCH WITHIN TWO MONTHS THEY BOUGHT A HOUSE.

YOU REMEMBER THAT. AND IT HAD A CODE VIOLATION.

>> I THINK THAT WAS BEFORE ME. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT WAS BEFORE YOUR TIME. FORT PIERCE IS GROWING LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE. AND, OF COURSE, THE WATERFRONT HERE, PEOPLE DISCOVERED IT AND THEY ARE COMING LIKE CRAZY TO FORT PIERCE. THE HOUSING PRICES WERE REALLY REASONABLE AT ONE TIME. NOW THEY DOUBLED OR TRIPLED.

EVEN MY LITTLE HOUSE. THEY TOLD ME WHAT IT WAS WORTH, I STARTED CRYING BECAUSE I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS WORTH THAT MUCH. I PAID $57,000 FOR IT.

YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW LONG AGO THAT WAS.

>> YES, MA'AM. I HAVE BEEN HERE THROUGH IT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: NOW THEY ARE TALKING $200,000.

BUT I COULDN'T BUY A HOUSE NOW BECAUSE THE PRICE ARE SO EXORBITANT. WE GOT TO CATCH UP WITH THE GROWTH, TAKE CARE OF OUR RESIDENTS, AND TRUST ME, YOU AND THE OTHER TWO PEOPLE THAT WERE BEFORE ME, TRUST ME, YOUR VOICES

WILL BE HEARD THROUGH ME. >> THANK YOU.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU ARE WELCOME.

30 DAY TO APPEAL. >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: YOUR HONOR. ONE QUESTION, WHAT ABOUT THE

ADMINISTRATION FEE? >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: $10 ADMIN FEE. SO $35.

GOOD LUCK. >> OUR NEXT CASE.

>> WILL GIVE YOU A COUPLE MORE MINUTES.

>> I AM READY. SORRY.

[C. 22-1665 PK South Causeway Park Edward A. Maas Michael Rabenecker]

HE HAD WARD A. MAAS. >> GOOD MORNING.

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: GOOD MORNING, YOUR HONOR.

THE NEXT CASE IS 22-1665, A PARKING CITATION WRITTEN AT SOUTH CAUSEWAY PARK. THE CASE WAS INITIATED MAY #, 2022. THIS A CITATION APPEAL.

THE OWNER CAME BACK AND THE VIOLATORS CAME BACK AS EDWARD A.

MAAS, 17725, PARKING VIOLATION OF VIOLATION OF THE 24-25S, PARKING ON CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY, A $50 FINE, $10 ADMIN FEE AND TOTAL OF $60. FAILURE TO PAY SUCH A FINE WILL RESULTS IN A CITATION BEING FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM. I HAVE PHOTOS HERE TO INTRODUCE AS EVIDENCE THAT ACCURATELY PORTRAY THE VIOLATIONS AS I WITNESSED IT AND DATE AND TIME STAMP.

AND ALSO CITATION PAPER WORK. >> IS IT MRS. MAAS.

>> MAAS. >> ARE YOU MR. MAAS.

>> YES. >> HAVE YOU SEEN THE

PHOTOGRAPHS? >> NO.

[00:55:08]

>> SO YOUR HONOR -- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOLD ON.

HOLD ON. >> EXCUSE ME.

>> AT THIS TIME WE WILL SEEK TO MOVE THEM IN.

IF YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION, YOU CAN MAKE AN OBJECTION TO THE

PHOTOGRAPHS. >> CAN I ASK SOME QUESTIONS

ABOUT THEM BEFORE WE PROCEED? >> SURE, UNDER HOW THE RULES OF

WHICH EVIDENCE IS PRESENTED. >> YOUR HONOR, WHAT I AM GOING

TO TRY TO CONVEY HERE -- >> THE QUESTIONS WILL BE TO THE

FOUNDATION. >> TO THE FOUNDATION.

THIS IS THE PICTURE YOU TOOK OF MY CAR PARKED THERE, RIGHT?

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: YES, SIR. >> CAN YOU POINT OUT THE YELLOW

CURB. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THIS IS NOT WHAT IT IS FOR. I WILL OBJECT AT THIS POINT.

>> THEN IT IS NOT WHAT IT IS FOR.

THAT IS ALL I NEED TO KNOW. >> YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE TO DO

THAT. >> I HAVEN'T DONE THIS BEFORE.

>> YOU WILL HAVE A CHANCE -- >> I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE TIME,

ALL RIGHT. >> NOT YET.

>> OKAY. >> AT THIS TIME THE CITY WILL MOVE INTO EVIDENCE COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 1.

MR. RABENECKER, I APOLOGIZE. THEY FAIRLY DEPICT THE VIOLATION

AS YOU OBSERVED? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> THEY BROUGHT ME PAPER CLIPS. ALL RIGHT, MOVE THIS IN AS CITY

EXHIBIT 1. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THEY WILL

BE ADMITTED AS SUCH. >> THEY WILL BE ON THE SCREEN.

SO YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT ANY OF THEM.

MR. RABENECKER, ANYTHING FURTHER FOR THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE?

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: WOMAN. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: NOW MR.

MAAS, YOUR TURN. >> ON THESE PHOTOGRAPHS.

LET'S START WITH THIS. YOU ARE AWARE THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA POSTING NO PARKING SIGNS.

I GUESS YOU GUYS RUN A COMMUNITY.

I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO READ IT ALL TO YOU, BUT THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES. AND SO IN THIS FIRST PITCH PICTURE THAT WE HAVE UP THERE. CAN YOU POINT OUT THE CURB, THE WHY HE WILL LOW CURB, THE NO PARKING CURB.

THERE IS A CURB THERE. AND I AM PARKED WITH MY RIGHT WHEELS TOWARD THE CURB. THE STATE OF FLORIDA SAYS AN UNPAINTED CURB HAS A MEANING AND A PAINTED CURB HAS A MEANING.

THE YELLOW CURB WILL BE YELLOW. >> NO WHITE LINES INDICATE THAT

IS A PARKING SPACE. >> THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION.

THE QUESTION IS CAN YOU POINT OUT THE WHY HE WILL LOW CURB.

>>MICHAEL RABENECKER: THERE IS NO YELLOW.

>> POINT OUT THE NO PARKING SIGN.

>> NO PARKING SIGN. >> NO PARKING SIGN.

THAT IS ALL I ASK. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOLD IT.

ONE AT A TIME. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, MY OBJECTION IS, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ASK QUESTIONS, I WILL BE ASKED THAT HE INSTRUCT IT ONE AT A TIME.

PERMIT THE WITNESS TO CUT -- TO ANSWER THEM AND COULD THE CUT

HIM UP TO THE ANSWER. >> TO REVIEW, NO YELLOW CURB AND NO SIGNS. AND I AM PARKED IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, BASICALLY WITH -- OTHER CARS PARKED THERE IN THE SAME DIRECTION AGAINST THIS CURB.

AND NO DISSTRIPGS BETWEEN ANY OTHER SPACE AND THAT SPACE.

THIS CURVE GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BLOCK AND EVERYBODY THERE IS LEGALLY PARKED EXCEPT FOR THE LAST TWO CARS.

ACCORDING -- >> OBJECTION, JUDGE, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I AM NOT SURE IF THERE IS A QUESTION HERE.

>> THERE IS A QUESTION. I AM GETTING TO IT.

THE SIGN -- WHEN YOU COME INTO THIS FACILITY BASICALLY STATES DESIGNATED PARKING ONLY. NOW, FIRST OFF, THE SIGN IS NOT POSTED ACCORDING TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

IT IS NOT WITH THE REFLECTED TAPE SUPPOSED TO BE 60 INCHES.

IT IS TWO INCHES OFF THE GROUND. WHEN YOU COME INTO THAT PARKING AREA, YOU WILL SEE THE CAR COMING THE OTHER WAY, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN SEE THE SIGN. THE OTHER THING ACCORDING TO THE STATE, THESE SIGNS ARE FOR THE PURPOSE WHEN THE PARKING LOT IS THE SAME. NOW WHEN YOU HAVE DIFFERENT AREAS OF PARK IN DIFFERENT AREAS THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE LEGAL SIGNS TO GIVE A CAR -- AN OPERATOR OF A CAR A REASONABLE EXPECTATION WHERE YOU CAN AND CANNOT PARK.

AND THERE IS NONE OF THAT. AND WE GOT MAYBE 18 SPACE THAT ARE MARKED HERE OUT OF 150 SPACES.

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME COMING HERE.

I SHOWED UP -- THERE ARE CARS PARKED IN THE GRASS.

PARKED EVERYWHERE. THE BOAT TRAILERS ARE OVER THE CURB. EVERYTHING ELSE.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING 53 YEARS. ACCORDING TO WHAT I LEARNED IN DRIVING, MY CAR IS LEGALLY PARKED.

SO BASICALLY WE ARE SAYING I GOT A TICKET HERE.

AND IT ALSO SAYS IN THE STATE, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE COURT HOUSE AND LOOK UP THE LAWS TO PARK YOUR CAR.

THERE SHOULD BE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION THAT YOU ARE DOING IT PROPERLY OR IMPROPERLY. AND WHAT THE STATE CLEARLY STATES IN THIS SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE TWO SPACES ON THIS CURB THAT YOU CAN'T PARK AND THE REST OF THEM YOU CAN, THERE SHOULD BE A SIGN 60 INCHES OR HIGHER FROM THE BOTTOM AND DONE IN THE PROPER COLORS JUST LIKE THOSE OTHER SIGNS YOU HAVE POSTED.

AND IT SHOULD HAVE AN ARROW POINTING TO WHERE YOU CAN AND

[01:00:03]

AND IT ALSO SAYS WHEN YOU HAVE THESE THINGS POSTED IN THE FRONT OF THE ENTRANCEWAY, PARK IN DESIGNATED SPACES, THE SIGN IS SUPPOSED TO BE WITHIN FIVE FEET OF THE ENTRANCE AND ON ALL ENTRANCES, WHICH IT IS NOT. IF YOU COME IN FROM THE EAST SIDE, THE SIGN HAS GOT TO BE AT LEAST 400 FEET FROM THE ENTRANCE. IF YOU COME IN FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE ON THE OTHER SIDE, THERE IS NO SIGN.

SO I THINK -- LIKE WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE TO THESE OTHER PEOPLE, YOUR HONOR. YOU CLEARLY HAVE A LOT OF PARKING PROBLEMS HERE. IF YOU LOOK AT THAT CAR RIGHT THERE IN THE SPACE. NO CURB.

NO SIGN. I TOOK PICTURES OF IT TOO, YOU GO ALL ALONG THE BLOCK, CARS PARKED UP AND DOWN THERE, ACROSS THE STREET. THE BOAT TRAILER ARE RIGHT ACROSS THE CURBS. IT IS CLEARLY A CASE OF -- IF -- I DON'T LOOK LIKE A LAWBREAKER HERE, I DON'T THINK.

I DIDN'T GO IN THERE TO BREAK THE LAW.

THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE AND I EVER WENT THERE.

SEE THERE IS A SIGN THERE. THAT IS A PROPER SIGN.

IT IS POSTED. IT IS 60 INCHES OR HIGHERABOVE THE BOTTOM OF THE SIGN. IT IS IN THE RIGHT COLORS.

THE STATE HAS RULES ON ALL THIS. AND YOUR HONOR, YOU SAID YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW. I THINK YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE LAW ON HOW THESE SIGNS ARE POSTED.

I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HERE BUT EVERYONE IS HERE WITH A PROBLEM WITH THIS. THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THAT IS CLEARLY WRONG. MANAGE MAGISTRATE OKAY.

THIS THE MANATEE CENTER? IS THAT PARKING LO THE.

>> NO, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. I AM TRYING TO BRING UP AN OVERHEAD TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING.

THIS IS PART OF STAFF'S REBUTTAL AS WELL.

THIS IS THE ENTRANCE HE IS REFERRING TO.

WHERE THESE VEHICLES ARE PARKED ARE RIGHT HERE.

AND THAT IS NO PARKING BECAUSE IT IS A TRAVEL LANE.

YOU SEE TIRE MARKS WHERE HE IS PARKED BECAUSE THE TRAVEL LANE FOR THE BOAT RAMP. AND THAT IS WHY IT IS A RIGHT-OF-WAY. NOT THAT THERE -- WE DO HAVE DESIGNATED PARKING. YOU SEE THE DESIGNATED PARKING SPOTS HERE. THIS IS A TRAVEL LANE.

IT IS NO THE PARKING AT ALL. THAT IS WHY HE WAS CITED.

THERE IS NO PARKING THERE. YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE TIRE MARKS. IT IS A TRAVEL LANE.

PARKED IN THE TRAVEL LANE. >> THERE WERE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF ME THAT DIDN'T GET A TICKET.

ONLY THE LAST TWO SPACES AND NO DESIGNATION BETWEEN THE SECOND AND THIRD SPACE. OR ANY OF THE ONES IN FRONT OF IT THERE AND THE CAR WAS NO THE IN THE WAY.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR PARKED NEXT TO ME AND STILL NOT BLOCKED. HE WAS DOUBLED PARKED AT THE TEAM AND EVERYBODY WAS GETTING THROUGH FINE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I KNOW THIS AREA.

>> I KNOW. THIS IS -- THIS IS ANOTHER THING THAT IS REALLY BUGGING ME. I KNOW IT -- I JUST LIKE TO GET IT OFF MY CHEST. BY MOVED MY CAR AND STARTED DRIVING AROUND TAKING PICTURES AND SOMEONE ELSE PARKED THERE AND THE OFFICER DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH THAT AT ALL.

YOU REMEMBER IT. IT WAS YOUR CAR -- HE PARKED

RIGHT THERE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: LET ME

INTERRUPT YOU. >> OKAY.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: EVERY DAY WHEN I LEAVE MY JOB HEADING NORTH ON U.S. 1, THERE ARE CARS SPEEDING LIKE CRAZY.

>> THAT IS FOR SURE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: AND THIS HE DON'T GET TICKETED. NOT EVERYBODY WHO BREAKS EVERY LITTLE LAW GETS A TICKET. I AM CRUISING -- BUT I STAY WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT SOMETIMES.

YESTERDAY I DIDN'T, ANYWAY. >> STAY WITHIN THE SPEED LIMIT

-- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: BUT, LISTEN, I KNOW THIS AREA. THAT IS WHY I ASKED WHERE WAS IT. THE AQUORUM.

RIGHT. IT SAYS RIGHT HERE, AQUARIUM.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY AQUARIUM. I KNOW THAT AREA.

I DRIVE THROUGH THERE, BECAUSE WE GET SO MANY COMPLAINTS OVER THERE. CLEARLY I KNOW WHERE TO PARK.

NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THIS JOB, BUT I KNOW WHERE TO PARK.

YOUR CAR IS CLEARLY IN VIOLATION.

>> NO, IT IS NOT. ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THAT IS LEGALLY PARKED CAR ACCORDING TO THE STATE OF FLORIDA. NO YELLOW CURB.

NO SIGNS, NO SIGN DEPICTING WHERE YOU CAN AND CANNOT PARK THERE. YOU -- YOU WANT TO KEEP WITHIN THE LAW, YOUR HONOR, I UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT THE LAW PROTECTS US FROM PEOPLE JUST WRITING TICKETS FOR NO REASON.

THERE IS NO -- OTHER SIDES THAT ARE LEGAL.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE SAME SCREEN I AM

LOOKING AT UP ON THE MONITORS. >> I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 53 YEARS, YOUR HONOR. YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT IS AN

ILLEGAL PARKED CAR. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HOLD ON

[01:05:07]

RABENECKER. >>MICHAEL RABENECKER: NO, YOUR

HONOR. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OTHER THAN

YOUR ARGUMENT, ANYTHING ELSE. >> I WILL ASKED FOR A DISMISSAL.

THAT IS A LEGALLY PARKED CAR. THAT IS ALL, YOUR HONOR.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU. BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY PRESENTED I FIND YOU ARE VIOLATION OF THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY. YOU CAN LOOK AT THE CAR AND LOOK

HOW CLOSE YOU ARE TO THE CURB. >> LEGAL CURB, YOUR HONOR.

>> FINE YOU $50, $10 ADMIN FEE. A TOTAL OF $60.

YOU CAN APPEAL IT, IF YOU CASE -- CASES WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM WHERE YOU WILL INCUR ADDITIONAL FEES AND COSTS. GOOD LUCK.

>> THANK YOU. >> I APOLOGIZED.

YOU TOLD HIM 30 DAY TO APPEAL? >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YES.

>> I WILL JUST GIVE YOU THE MONEY.

THANK YOU. >> HOW DO I DO IT?

>> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY -- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I HEARD

ENOUGH. >>> OUR NEXT CASE IS 22-892, 100

[S. 22-892 PK 100 Blk AE Backus Ave Dominic C. Galante Shirley W. Mullins Michael Rabenecker]

>> THAT WILL BE S. .

>> I WILL PAY THE FINE. I FORGET ABOUT THE TICKET.

>> YOU ARE READY TO PAY IT. >> I FORGET ABOUT IT.

IT IS NOT REALLY A FEE. >> WE CAN SET YOU UP WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO GO UPSTAIRS UNLESS YOU WANT TO.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS. >> WAIVE THE ADMIN FEE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: LET'S WAIVE THE FEE.

HE WANTS TO PAY IT. >> JUST THE LATE FEE.

$68? >> YES.

>> YOU WANT TO PAY THAT TODAY? >> YES.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WOULD THAT BE $60?

>> $68. >> THIS ONE IS NOT AN APPEAL.

SO WE ASSESSED A LATE FEE OF $18.

BUT SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, BEHAVIOR YOU WISH TO DO, WE WILL DO.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: HE HAS BEEN SITTING HERE ALL MORNING.

>> $60? >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: LET'S DO $60. I WILL WAIVE THE LATE FEE ON YOU. ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, JUST TO BE CLEAR, WAIVING THE LATE FEE ENTIRELY.

IF WAIVING IT WOULD BE $50. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: $50 PLUS

$10 ADMIN. >> $10 FOR THE ADMIN AND $50.

>> I THOUGHT YOU SAID TO WAIVE THE ADMIN FEE.

>> I AM THE ONE WHO LOST IT TODAY.

>> WE GOT IT. >> MY BRAIN IS A LITTLE FRAZZLED RIGHT NOW. LET'S GET OURSELVES BACK ON

TRACK. >> WHAT WAS THE --

>> $50 FINE AND -- >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: $10 ADMIN

SIR, HOW DO YOU RESPOND? >> YES, WE ARE IN VIOLATION.

THE ONLY POINT I WANTED TO BRING UP IS THE TREE THAT IS DAMAGING THE WALL, THE EAST WALL. WE CONSTANTLY SPOKE OF THE NEIGHBORS TO REMOVE THE TREE. IT IS A HUGE TREE AND IT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. YOU CAN SEE IT IS GROWING RIGHT

OUT OF THAT WALL TOO. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I HAVE IT UP ON THE SCREEN IF YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT HE IS REFERRING TO.

>> GOING INTO MY PHOTOS, YOU CAN SEE DIRECTLY INTO THE HOLE WHERE

YOU CAN SEE PART OF THE TREE. >> THAT ONE?

>>HEATHER DEBEVEC: NO. THAT ONE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: OKAY. YOU GOT A LOT MORE PROBLEMS

THE TENANTS HAVE TO CLEAN UP THE AREA AND MAKE IT RIGHT.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT EVER SINCE IT WAS BROUGHT UP TO US.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IT IS NO THE TENANT'S OWNER, PART OF THE CONTRACT AND THE LEASE AGREEMENTS.

THEY ARE COMPLYING AND WE ARE FIXING ISSUE, YES.

THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. >> WE UNDERSTAND AND WE ARE

WORKING ON RESOLVING IT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THAT PLACE HAS BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME. I JUST -- PEOPLE ARE PAYING RENT TO /* TO LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE THAT.

AND THAT TREE DIDN'T JUST GET LIKE THAT.

IT HAS BEEN LIKE THAT A LONG TIME.

CHILDREN? >> I BELIEVE ONE OF THEM DOES, YEAH. AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT ON RENT. WE HAVE WORKED WITH HER

THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SIR, I DON'T CARE. NOBODY -- THIS --

>> OUR BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE BACK OF THE STORE.

THE BACK OF THE STORE WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN TAKING THE OL' AND GREASE OUT AND CAUSING A MESS. THE TENANTS UPSTAIRS BRING FURNITURE -- IF THEY WANT TO THROW IT OUT, THEY HAVE BEEN LEAVING IT OUTSIDE. WE HANDED THE NOTICES.

OUR BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE PARKING LOT, WHICH IS PART OF OUR LEASE WITH THE TENANT THAT NEEDS TO TAKE CARE.

AND THEY HAVEN'T BEEN COMPLYING. THEY RECENTLY DID.

THAT IS WHY I AM IN AGREEMENT THAT IT NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON BECAUSE WE HAVE BROUGHT THIS UP NUMEROUS TIMES TO OUR TENANT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: SIR, I HAVE BEEN HERE ALL MY LIFE.

BETWEEN INDIAN RIVER AND ST. LUCIE COUNTY.

THAT'S -- THAT IS DEPLORABLE. DEPLO DEPLORABLE. IT -- IT -- IT'S UNKEPT.

FURTHER, SIR? >> NO, YOUR HONOR.

YOU NEED TO CLEAN THE PLACE UP. >> YES, MA'AM.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IT IS A BLIGHT ON THE COMMUNITY.

WE HAVE ENOUGH PROBLEMS AS IT IS WITH LARD LANDLORD-TENANTS EVERY EVERYWHERE.

I ALWAYS ASK, WOULD YOU LET YOUR CHILDREN LIVE THERE? DON'T ANSWER. WOULD YOU LIVE THERE? DON'T ANSWER. AND YET YOU COME IN AND YOU WANT TO BLAME THE TENANTS AND THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR.

FOR THE TREE WHICH PROBABLY -- LOOKING AT THAT TREE IT HAS BEEN

THERE A LONG TIME. >> IT HAS.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: AND YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT.

ALL RIGHT. BASED ON THE TESTIMONY AND EVIDENCE PRESENTED, I FIND THAT A VIOLATION EXISTS AT 150 # NORTH 25TH STREET AND MUHAMMED -- HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE YOUR LAST SHAME, SHEHADEH IS THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VIOLATION WITH REGARD TO PAINT THE PARKING SPOTS AND RESTRIPE THE PARKING SPACES.

>>ISAAC SAUCEDO: CASE NUMBER 22-1138, 5100 OKEECHOBEE ROAD.

THE CASE INITIATED MARCH 30. THE OWNER WALMART STORES EAST LP IN CARE OF PROPERTY TAX DEPARTMENT, PO BOX 8050.

THE VIOLATIONS ARE SIDEWALKS AND DRIVEWAYS.

THE CORRECTIVE ACTION TO REPAIR -- RESURFACE AND REPAIR ALL POT POTHOLES.

I -- THE CITY IS REQUESTING THAT IS IS THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FINDS A VIOLATION EXISTS, THE VIOLATOR BE GIVEN TEN DAY TO OBTAIN A PERMIT AND COMPLY OR A FINE OF $200 PER DAY BE ASSESSED. WITH THIS PARTICULAR CASE, I HAVE HAD SOME SORT OF COMMUNICATION.

-- WITH ONE OF THE REPRESENTATIVES FROM WALMART.

HE TRIED CALLING ME LAST WEEK. HE TRIED E-MAIL ME FOR SOME REASON WHEN I TRIED E-MAILING HIM BACK, HIS E-MAIL ARE COMING BACK TO ME. I WAS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE WITH ANY PHOTOS. ACCORDING TO HIS FIRST E-MAIL THAT HE SEPTEMBER, THEY WERE STATING THEY ARE IN COMPLIANCE.

WHEN I WENT OUT THIS WEEK I BELIEVE -- ON THE 17TH.

THEY ARE NOT IN COMPLIANCE. I DID HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO HIM OVER THE PHONE. WE DID AGREE THAT WE WERE GOING TO TRY TO SEND -- I WAS GOING TO TRY TO SEND HIM PHOTOS.

I WAS NOT ABLE TO. IT CAME BACK AGAIN.

HE DID SEND ME AN E-MAIL AFTER OUR PHONE CONVERSATION KIND OF REITERATING WHAT WE SPOKE ABOUT STATE THAT HE NEEDED TO OBTAIN THE PERMITS. HE WAS ALSO GOING TO TRY TO HAVE SOMEONE FROM WALMART COME AND REPRESENT.

THEY ARE NOT HERE. SO AFTER OUR PHONE CONVERSATION, I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH COMMUNICATION WITH HIM.

I TRIED CALLING HIM TWICE AFTER THAT TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THOSE E-MAILS WERE COMING BACK TO ME. HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK.

SO I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE IF MAYBE WE SHOULD -- I SHOULD GO AHEAD AND CHANGE MY RECOMMENDATION FROM TEN DAYS.

I KNOW IT WILL TAKE LONGER THAN TEN DAYS TO EITHER OBTAIN A PERMIT JUST BECAUSE IT IS A CORPORATION.

>> DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT THEY HAVE APPLIED FOR THE

PERMITS AT THIS POINT? >> NO, NOTHING.

>> WERE THEY AWARE THAT THE HEARING DATE WAS TODAY?

>> CORRECT. >> UP TO YOU ALL IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT TO TEN TO 30 TO OBTAIN THE PERMIT.

I THINK EVERYONE IS AWARE TYPICALLY ONCE THEY APPLY FOR THE PERMIT, THAT KIND OF HALTS WHAT WE DO BECAUSE THEY HAVE AT LEAST APPLIED. SO I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU FOR HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND IT OR TEN DAY TO APPLY.

>> LET'S I WILL SAY TEN DAY TO APPLY.

AND IF THAT HAPPENS, JUST KIND OF YEAH, TEN DAY TO APPLY.

[02:35:07]

>> UP TO YOU GUYS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, OUR RECOMMENDATION IS TEN DAY TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT. WE UNDERSTAND A PROCESS TO GO THROUGH WITH THE NEW SYSTEM INSTITUTED BY THE STATE.

SO WE ARE NOT EXACTLY SURE HOW LONG THINGS TAKE.

AND TEN DAY TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT.

AND THEN COMPLY WITH ALL PERMIT CONDITIONS ONCE ISSUED.

>>ISAAC SAUCEDO: DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PHOTOS?

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: NO, I GO TO WALMART ALL THE TIME.

[LAUGHTER] I WILL GO AHEAD AND MOVE THEM FOR RECORD PURPOSES. DO THEY FAIRLY AND ACCURATELY

SHOW THE POTHOLE THAT EXISTS? >>ISAAC SAUCEDO: ABSOLUTELY.

>> EVERYBODY 245 GOES THERE -- YOU HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IT.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I WAS AT WALMART FOR AN HOUR.

MOSTLY TALKING TO PEOPLE BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS IN WALMART.

>> MOVE THAT IN AS EXHIBIT 1, THE COMPOSITE PHOTOGRAPH.

PERSON IS NOT RESPONDING. >> I WAS SOMEWHAT QUESTIONING THE ORIGINAL RECOMMENDATION BECAUSE IT WAS CORPORATE.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I WANT TO POINT OUT A PHOTO LIKE THIS.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND THE REASON WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS BECAUSE A LITTLE HOLE WILL START AND THEY WILL COLD PATCH IT AND GET BIGGER AND BICKER AND NOW BECOME A LARGE PORTION OF THE ROAD. IT DEFINITELY GOES LONGER AND LONGER AND REQUESTING A FULL REPAIR RAINING AND SUMMER.

REQUESTING. YOU WANT TEN DAY TO APPLY.

>> TEN DAY TO APPLY FOR A PERMIT.

>> THAT WILL BE LISTED. >> AN ACTION IS FAIRLY EASY.

>> ALL RIGHT, OKAY. I FIND THAT THE WALMART WAS GIVEN NOTICE. AND THEY HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MR. ISAAC SAUCEDO, NOT AS MUCH AS THEY SHOULD HAVE, BUT BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY PRESENTED I FIND THAT A VIOLATION EXISTS. WE WILL GIVE THEM TEN DAY TO APPLY FOR A PERMIT. AND THEN COMPLY WITH ALL PERMIT CONDITIONS OR FINE OF $200 HER DAY BE ASSESSED.

I GOT TO GET A TRANSMISSION FOR MY TRUCK -- I KNOW THIS IS -- BUT IT IS ALL A PART OF THE STRESS THAT I AM GOING THROUGH AND I AM DEALING WITH. I AM JUST ASKING THAT THE CITY JUST ALLOW SOME LENIENCY ON HELPING ME FINANCIALLY TO EXPUNGE THAT COMPLETELY, IF POSSIBLE.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, AS YOU KNOW, STAFF HAS ADMINISTRATION FEES THAT ARE APPLIED TO THIS. I DID NOT GET THE WORKSHEET COMPLETED FOR THIS PARTICULAR CASE.

BUT WE HAVE HAD THIS CASE OPEN FOR A YEAR.

AND I KNOW IF I HAD DONE THE STANDARD WORKSHEET, THAT WOULD MAKE THE ADMINISTRATION FEES FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT.

WE DO HAVE HER REQUEST IF YOU ARE INTERESTED -- HER WRITTEN REQUEST IF YOU WERE INTERESTED IN READING IT AT ALL, BUT STAFF WOULD BE RECOMMENDING THAT THIS BE REDUCED TODAY 750.

>> DID YOU HEAR THAT, MISS JOHNSON?

>> YES, MA'AM. I DID HEAR THAT.

AND I MEAN, IT IS A TREMENDOUS DECREASE, AND I DO APPRECIATE IT. BUT LIKE I SAID, IF THERE IS ANY LEEWAY TO WHERE I DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANYTHING, THAT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. AND I AM ASKING FOR THE CITY'S HELP. I AM ASKING -- YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS FOR YOUR HELP. WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN ANY TROUBLE LIKE THIS BEFORE. AND IF -- IF WE CAN BE HIT WITH MAYBE A WARNING FOR THIS TIME. AND LIKE I SAID.

I TRIED REALLY HARD, MISS KATHERINE AND ALL THE STAFF KNOW I TRIED REALLY HARD TO GET WHAT I COULD GET DONE IN MY SITUATION MENTALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND THAT I AM AWAY.

LIKE I SAID, I HAVE BEEN REALLY TRYING HARD AND $700 IS EVEN A

LOT TO ASK OF ME RIGHT NOW. >> DO YOU WORK?

[02:50:04]

>> YES, MA'AM, I AM WORKING AND I JUST PICKED UP TWO OTHER JOBS JUST SO -- LIKE I SAID, I AM TRYING SO HARD TO KEEP MY HOUSE.

AND I AM BEHIND ON MY TRUCK PAYMENT.

AS I SAID THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT ON MY TRUCK AND HERE IT IS IN BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PL PLACE. I AM TRYING TO KEEP MY HOUSE,

KEEP MY SANITY FOR MY FAMILY. >> DO YOU SUPPORT ANY MINOR

CHILDREN. >> YES I HAVE A 15-YEAR-OLD THAT IS IN SCHOOL. AND THEN I HAVE A 19-YEAR-OLD THAT -- HE IS NOT CURRENTLY WORKING, BUT I AM -- I AM -- I AM HELPING SUPPORT HIM. AND WE ARE LIVING WITH MY 27-YEAR-OLD THAT JUST GOT OUT OF THE AIR FORCE.

HE WANTED A BETTER LIFE FOR US. SO THAT IS THE REASON -- ANOTHER REASON WHY -- BECAUSE OF THE MENTAL ISSUES.

MY HUSBAND WAS HAVING SO MY SON MOVED HIM TO TEXAS WITH HIM TO SEE MAYBE OUR LIFE CAN GET A LITTLE BETTER.

AND I MUST SAY I AM STARTING TO SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL BUT I AM STILL AT THE BOTTOM SINKING, I AM, I REALLY

AM. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WELL THE $750 THAT THE STATE -- THE CITY IS ASKING FOR, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THAT ALL AT ONCE. YOU CAN -- WE WILL GIVE YOU A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME ■TOPAY IT.

>> YEAH, AND WE ARE TALKING -- AN EXTRA ADDED EXPENSE.

IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE, DO I MAKE -- WHATEVER I CAN ON IT OR ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE ME PAY -- GOING TO DIVIDE IT UP INTO A YEAR. YOU KNOW, THAT IS WHAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. WHEN I TELL YOU, MISS ROSS, I AM STRETCHING IT. LIKE I HAVE NO ADDED ROOM FOR ANY EXTRA EXPENSES RIGHT NOW. I PROMISE YOU.

I REALLY DON'T. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WE CAN GRANT UP TO A YEAR TO PAY. BUT IT IS UP TO YOU TO DETERMINE WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO PAY IT. SO YOU HAVE 12 MONTHS TO PAY THE TOTAL AMOUNT. AND WHETHER YOU GET SMALL MONTHLY PAYMENTS OR WAIT UNTIL MONTH 11.

THAT IS YOUR CHOICE. WE DO NOT ESTABLISH A PAYMENT PLAN. WE GRANT YOU THE TIME AND UP TO YOU TO DETERMINE YOUR OWN PAYMENT PLAN OF HOW YOU CHOOSE

TO PAY IT. >> OKAY, OKAY.

OKAY. SOURCE SAYING IT CAN'T BE

REDUCED THEN TO LESS THAN $700? >> THE CITY ASKED FOR $750.

YOU CAN AGREE TO THAT AMOUNT OR YOU CAN LEAVE IT UP TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. SHE COULD REDUCE IT LOWER THAN THAT, OR REDUCE IT TO HIGHER THAN THAT.

THAT WOULD BE UP TO THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE.

BUT CITY'S RECOMMENDATION THAT YOU CAN ACCEPT AND AGREE WITH IS

FOR $750. >> I AM BEGGING THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THIS ONE TIME, BEGGING YOU GUYS JUST TO PLEASE.

JUST CLEAR IT OUT SO I CAN HAVE A CLEAR CONSCIOUS AND SLEEP AT NIGHT. GOD KNOWS I DON'T NEED ANY ADDED EXPENSE. I AM THE TYPE OF PERSON WHERE I PAY MY DUES. I PAY MY DEBT.

AS SOON AS I GET IT, I PAY IT. AND I AM ASKING AND BEGGING YOU GUYS FOR LENIENCY TO WIPE FREE AND CLEAR FOR ME.

I AM STILL -- I AM PRETTY SURE -- STILL GOING THROUGH WITH THIS PANDEMIC. AND LIKE I SAID, I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT IS WORKING. WORKING HARD.

SPECIAL MAGISTRATE IF YOU CAN REDUCE IT -- OR BRING IT TO A ZERO BALANCE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE BEFORE. AND I AM JUST ASKING AND BEGGING YOU GUYS FOR, YOU LENIENCY TO HELP ME TO GET RID OF THIS --

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IS THIS HOUSE OCCUPIED?

>> NO, NO AT THE TIME, WOMAN. >> WHERE IS MISS TOOSBY?

>> MISS OSBY IS DECEASED. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT,

ANYTHING FURTHER? >> WOMAN.

>> WOMAN, I AM GOOD AT MY END. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: MISS JOHN, I HAVE HELD THIS JOB FOR A LONG TIME.

AND ONE THING ABOUT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE, THEY ARE VERY -- LET ME SAY -- THEY LISTEN TO YOU.

THEY LISTEN TO WHAT THE CITY WANTS.

$750, I DON'T THINK IS ASKING FOR A WHOLE LOT.

THE BALANCE WAS $2730. >> YES, MA'AM.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THEY ARE ASKING FOR $750, AND YOU GET 12

MONTHS TO PAY THAT. >> I KNOW THAT, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT -- ALL DUE RESPECT, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANYBODY ELSE, BUT I AM STRUGGLING.

$750 IS A MILLION DOLLARS TO ME RIGHT NOW.

[02:55:03]

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WHY IS THE 19-YEAR-OLD NOT WORKING, I AM

SORRY? >> WELL, HE IS GETTING READY TO MOVE BACK TO FLORIDA. HE JUST PUT IN HIS TWO WEEKS.

AND HE IS GETTING READY TO MOVE BACK TO FLORIDA.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU SAID ANOTHER SON -- THAT SON MOVED IN

WITH YOU TO HELP WITH BILLS. >> NO, I MOVED IN WITH MY 27-YEAR-OLD BECAUSE OF ME NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY MY BILLS.

SO IF HE CAN MOVE US TO TEXAS, THAT WE WILL -- WHERE I WILL BE ABLE TO WORK AND HOPES TO FOCUS ON MY DEBTS THAT I HAVE RIGHT

NOW. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ANYTHING

FURTHER? >> WOMAN, I AM GOOD ON MY END.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT, BASED ON THE -- -- BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND -- I WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT THAT YOU OWE TO CITY FROM $2730 TODAY 750. YOU HAVE ONE YEAR TO PAY THAT.

>> OKAY. YES, MA'AM.

>> WE WILL ASK FOR A REVERSION ON THAT, MISS ROSS, IF IT WAS NOT PAID WILL BE REVERT BACK TO THE $2730.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: DID YOU HEAR THAT.

>> YES, MA'AM. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: IF YOU DON'T PAY IT WITHIN THE YEAR, IT GOES BACK TO THE $2730.

>> A LIEN WOULD BE FILED. >> OKAY.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: GOOD LUCK. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU, MISS

ROSS. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: THANK YOU,

BYE-BYE. >> THANK YOU, GUYS.

BYE-BYE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: CAN WE GO

OFF THE RECORD FOR ONE SECOND. >> YES.

>>> THE NEXT CASE IS 22-2213 BEFORE YOU TO HAVE A LIEN SIGNED. A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OWNER INDICATED THAT THE PROPERTY WAS IN COMPLIANCE AND SO WE WANT -- OFFICER ISAAC SAUCEDO WILL GO OUT AND DOUBLE CHECK THAT.

WE PULLED IT FROM THE AGENDA TO SEE WHAT OTHER STEPS NEED TO BE TAKEN. AND 21-587, 1306 AVENUE O FOR FINE IMPOSING LIEN TO BE SIGNED. THE MASSEY NOTICE WAS SENT IN FEBRUARY -- FEBRUARY 7 ALONG WITH THE RIGHT TO APPEAL.

I APOLOGIZE. SHOULD BE -- FEBRUARY 27, 2022.

THE MASSEY LETTER WAS SENT TO THE OWNER NOTICING THEM THAT THE FINE WAS RUNNING AND PROVIDING A RIGHT TO APPEAL.

WE DID NOT RECEIVE ANY FEEDBACK, COMMENT OR REQUEST FOR AN APPEAL. SO THE ORDER ASSESSING FINE AND LIEN IS DRAFTED AND WAITING FOR YOUR SIGNATURE.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I WILL SIGN IT.

>> YES, WE DID.
