SO I GOT CALLS ALSO COMPLAINING. HAVE YOU SEEN IT? YES. BUT I TOLD HIM HE NEEDED TO CLEAN IT UP. I WAS TIRED OF LOOKING AT IT AND GIVING HIM UNTIL OCTOBER WHICH IRONICALLY I SAID YOU HAVE UNTIL OCTOBER TO CLEAN IT UP OTHERWISE I AM GOING TO EVICT YOU.
HE SAID HE WOULD AND IRONICALLY IT WASN'T A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS LATER THAT I GOT THIS LETTER FROM YOU GUYS.
SO WE ARE BOTH LOOKING AT THE SAME THING.
HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE GIVEN HIM -- I HAVE TOLD HIM PLENTY OF TIMES TO CLEAN IT UP.
AND HERE WE ARE AGAIN ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.
I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN HE DID CLEAN IT UP.

RIGHT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: WE DON'T KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN CURED, DO WE?

WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU IT FIND A RULING TO GIVE HIM THE TIME NECESSARY TO FINISH UP THE LAST THING AND OR JUST TO MAKE SURE ISAAC CAN GO OUT AND DO THE INSPECTION.

SO THE VIOLATION WOULD EXIST. THE FINDING WOULD EXIST THAT THE VIOLATION OCCURRED. THERE WILL BE NO FINE ASSOCIATED WITH IT; HOWEVER, IF THERE ARE SUBSEQUENT VIOLATIONS, THIS COULD BE USED TO SHOW A REPEAT VIOLATION.

POSITION? >> SO I THINK WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE YOU THE PICTURES SO YOU CAN SEE THEM BECAUSE SOUNDS LIKE SINCE WE WEREN'T PLANNING ON DOING THE FULL-BLOWN HEARING, I DON'T THINK PICTURES WERE SENT TO YOU.

>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: YOU CAN EXPLAIN THAT TO HER.
>>CHARMAINE KIRKLAND: THE DESIGNATED.
WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE DESIGNATED PARKING SPOT, IT HAS TO HAVE A YELLOW LINE OR WHITE LINE.
IN THIS CASE, THIS AREA HAS WHITE LINES.
SO AS YOU CAN SEE ON YOUR DRIVER'S SIDE OR YOUR PASSENGER SIDE, THERE ARE NO LINES SO IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A PARKING SPOT. THE ROCKS BEHIND YOUR VEHICLES ON THE ROCKS IT STATES THAT THAT IS THE ENTRANCE.
SO THAT -- AND THE VEHICLE ON YOUR PASSENGER SIDE RECEIVED A CITATION BECAUSE THAT IS NOT A SPOT AS WELL.
>> TO THE LEFT OF THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT, ARE THE PAINTED WHITE LINES DOWN TO THE LEFT, WHERE ACTUAL SPOTS ARE?
>>CHARMAINE KIRKLAND: YES. >> AND FOR IT TO BE AN ACTUAL SPO THE, DO YOU NEED LINES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE?
>>CHARMAINE KIRKLAND: YES. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ANYTHING FURTHER? ALL RIGHT, MISS WILDMAN, HOW DO
YOU RESPOND? >> THAT WAS NOT CLEAR, YOUR HONOR. THERE WERE ACTUALLY -- I AM NOT SURE IF THE PHOTOS DEPICT THAT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL -- I AM NOT SURE IT WAS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE.
I DO NOT LIVE IN THE AREA. I AM NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA.
I AM NOT SURE AND I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY IF WERE LINES ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I KNOW THAT CARS WERE PARKED NEXT TO ME. I HAD WALKED BEHIND MY CAR AND THERE WAS A PATHWAY FOR OTHER PEDESTRIANS OR DRIVERS, I'M SORRY, TO DRIVE IN AND OUTS OF THE BOX WITHOUT ANY ISSUE OF HITTING MY CAR, MY CAR BEING IN THE WAY.
I DID SEE THAT THE SEEN WAS POSTED TO THE EX-BE TENT THAT I RECEIVED THE NOTICE YESTERDAY, BUT I -- I THOUGHT PARKED IN A DESIGNATED AREA. IT WASN'T CLEAR THAT THERE WERE NO SIGNS DIRECTLY ON THE ROCKS OR ANYTHING IN THAT NATURE.
THE VEHICLE PARKED NEXT TO ME WAS THE SAME VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED IN EX-TO ME WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE.
I AM NOT SURE IF THEY RECEIVED A TICKET.
I JUST -- I DID NOT SEE THAT. SO THAT -- THAT IS IS IT, YOUR HONOR. I SAW THAT PEOPLE WERE PARKED IN FRONT OF DUMPSTERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
THEY DID NOT RECEIVE TICKETS. I KNOW FOR SURE THOSE AREN'T TESS IG NIGHTED AREAS. IT JUST NEEDS TO BE CLEAR -- CLEARLY MARKED FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THAT IT IS NOT A DESIGNATED
AREA, IF THAT IS IS THE CASE. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ALL RIGHT? ALL RIGHT, THEN BASED ON THE EVIDENCE AND TESTIMONY PRESENTED I FIND THAT A VIOLATION EXISTS AND THAT RADHIKA MELISSA WILDMAN IS THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VIOLATION.
ILLINOIS POSE A $50 FINE AND A $10 ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FOR TOTAL DUE $60. YOU HAVE 14 DAYS TO PAY.
FAILURE TO PAY THAT FINE COULD RESULT IN CITATION BEING FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM WHERE YOU COULD INCUR ADDITIONAL FEES AND COSTS. YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL.
>> HOW WILL I APPEAL THAT, YOUR HONOR?
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: I CAN'T GIVE YOU LEGAL ADVICE FROM HERE.
>> OKAY. LITTLE RECEIVE AN E-MAIL OR THROUGH THE MAIL ADVISING OF THAT INFORMATION?
>> YES. I WILL CONTACT YOU MYSELF, MISS WILDMAN. THIS IS KATHERINE.
>> SO YOU -- YOU WILL RECEIVE THE VIOLATION.
IT IS NOT GOING TO EXPLAIN TO YOU LEGALLY HOW TO PROCEED.
YOU WOULD NEED TO CONSULT WITH YOUR OWN ATTORNEY.
YOU HAVE 30 DAYS -- >> I WANT ADVISE OF HOW TO PURSUE THE APPEAL. I JUST NEED THE INFORMATION.
>> STAFF WILL SENDS YOU THE VIOLATION THAT THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE SIGNED. SO YOU WILL GET A COPY OF THE ACTUAL VIOLATION ORDER. MISS WILDMAN, DO YOU HAVE ANY
OTHER QUESTIONS? >> THAT IS ALL.
>> THANK YOU. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
>> ARE WE RETURNING TO 502 QUINCY NOW?
>> NO, THAT IS DONE. THE LIEN WILL JUST BE IN THE
[00:45:01]
PACKET WHEN IT COMES IN. >> ALL RIGHT.
>>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: ANYTHING ELSE?
>> THAT'S IT. >>SPECIAL MAGISTRATE: AND THE PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PRESENT, HOW WERE THEY NOTIFIED.
>> FOR CASES REQUIRING A HEARING PER STATE STATUTE 162.12, A NOTICE OF HEARING CENTS TO THE VIOLATOR CERTIFIED MAIL.
