[A. 23-3081 1703 N 17TH St Friendly Meat & Grocery Inc Jenifer Crespo-Martinez]

TO THE PODIUM. >> GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> TODAY WE HAVE AN EXCESS OF FALSE ALARM REPEAL . IT WAS FOR THE PROPERTY AT 1703 NORTH 17TH STREET, OCCUPIED BY FRIENDLY MEET AND GROCERY INK. THE FIRST ALARM OCCURRED ON OCTOBER 14TH, 2019 WITH A FINE OF $100.00. THE SECOND OCCURRED OCTOBER 19TH, 2019 , FOR A FINE OF $200.00 . THE THIRD WAS JULY 20TH, 2022 , FOR A FINE OF $100.00. THE FOURTH WAS SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2023, FOR A FINE OF $100.00. THE FIFTH WAS SEPTEMBER 27TH, 2023, FOR A FINE OF $200.00. THE SIX WAS SEPTEMBER 27TH , 2023, FOR A FINE OF $400.00 , AND THE SEVENTH WAS OCTOBER 16TH, 2023 , FOR A FINE OF $500.00, FOR A FINE OF $600.00. THANK YOU.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME. >> YOU HAVE BEEN SWORN?

>> YES. >> THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM. HE WANTS TO CALL ME BEFORE THE POLICE COME IN.

HE DOES THE CALL. HE WANTS TO CALL ME FIRST. AFTER THAT, I COME INTO THE BUILDING , AND HE IS MISSING, YOU KNOW? A LOT OF COMPANIES SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY THAT OR STUFF LIKE THAT. HE WANTS TO CALL THE TIME? THE COMPANY CALLS MY PHONE. AND HE DOESN'T CALL. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. HE WANTS TO CALL ME. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS, YOU KNOW? THAT IS

[00:05:01]

YOU CAN DO FOR IT. YOU KNOW? >> I AM NOT SURE IF YOU ARE SAYING SOMEONE WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL YOU AND THEY DID NOT?

>> YOU HAVE TWO PHONES TO CALL. THE ALARM COMPANY, I SENT THE

POLICE THERE OR NOT. >> OKAY. SO, WHO IS AT FAULT? ARE YOU SAYING THE ALARM COMPANY IS AT FAULT?

>> AND HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ALARM SYSTEM. HE CAME AND FIXED IT, THE ALARM COMPANY. THEY START CHARGING ME, YOU

KNOW? >> I DON'T KNOW. IT STILL ON

YOUR PREMISES. >> I UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> DOES THE CITY HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL?

>> WE WEREN'T ABLE TO ADMINISTRATIVELY HELP BECAUSE THE APPEAL WAS ENTERED AFTER THE 14 DAY TIME PERIOD. SO, THAT IS WHY WE ARE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY.

>> THE CITY HAS NOT OPPOSED A REDUCTION TO WHAT IS BEING

CHARGED? OR THEY ARE? >> MET SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT COMES BEFORE YOU FREQUENTLY. JUST TO REVIEW A COUPLE OF THINGS. THE FIRST I WANT TO REVIEW IS THE AMOUNT OF THE FINES. OKAY? AND YOU CAN SEE THAT WHEN THERE IS 12 MONTHS BETWEEN THE TWO ALARMS, IT DROPS BACK DOWN TO THE 100. BUT, IN 2023, YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT CONTINUES TO INCREASE FROM ONE, 22, 24, 25. HE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO OCTOBER, 2024 FOR IT TO RESET BACK TO $100.00 IF HE WAS TO GET MORE. THE PURPOSE OF THIS ORDINANCE THAT THE CITY HAS IS BECAUSE POLICE OFFICERS ARE REQUIRED TO RESPOND , AND IT TAKES THEIR TIME AWAY FROM THINGS THAT COULD BE BEING ADDRESSED OTHERWISE. THERE ARE APPEAL PROCESSES IN PLACE, AS JENNIFER MENTIONED , AND UNFORTUNATELY , STAFF DOES NOT FIND JUST CAUSE AND WAS NOT FOUND WITHIN THE TIME FRAMES FOR US TO DO THE ADMINISTERED OF REVIEW. IT IS IN YOUR HANDS TO ADJUST AS YOU SEE FIT , BUT THAT IS THE PURPOSE IN THE

BACKGROUND BEHIND IT. >> THAT I UNDERSTAND. I AM JUST WONDERING FROM YOU, SIR, IF AFTER SEVERAL OF THESE HAPPENED , IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS IN YOUR HANDS TO DO SOMETHING

ABOUT IT. >> I WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. YOU KNOW? THIS HAS NEVER

HAPPENED WITH ME. >> I THINK THE QUESTION IS WHAT DID YOU DO ABOUT IT OTHER THAN RECEIVE THE FINE AND SEND A LETTER TO THE CITY? DID YOU DO ANYTHING WITH THE ALARM COMPANY? ALARM SYSTEM? OR YOUR BUILDING?

>> I CALLED HIM A LOT OF TIMES.

>> I'M SORRY, CAN YOU CLARIFY, WHO IS HIM?

>> THE ALARM COMPANY. >> DO YOU HAVE HIS NAME? DO YOU HAVE HIS NAME, SIR? DO YOU HAVE THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO

YOU SPOKE TO? >> YOU KNOW, I CALL THE Z.I.P.

CODE NUMBER, YOU KNOW? I CAN'T SAY WHO IS THAT, YOU

KNOW? >> HE SAID HE WOULD TRY TO FIX A? OR YOU SHOULD TRY TO FIX IT?

>> HE SAID SEND IT TO THEM. I SENT IT TO THE ALARM COMPANY, AND HE SAID MAYBE HE WOULD DROP THAT . HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING.

DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, IT IS UP TO YOU TO GET A NEW ALARM COMPANY. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SOLUTION WOULD BE. BUT IF THE POLICE HAVE TO COME OUT EVERY TIME AND IT CONTINUES , THAT IS THE PROBLEM. SO, I WOULD FIND THAT THE FINES ARE LEGITIMATE AND THEY HAVE TO BE UPHELD. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN PASS IT ON TO THE ALARM COMPANY, SINCE THEY AREN'T FIXING IT, BUT THAT IS BETWEEN YOU AND THEM.

OKAY? THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. DO YOU NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME? HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU NEED?

>> A MONTH? >> A MONTH? IS THAT ACCEPTABLE?

[00:10:08]

PAY? >> 30 DAYS?

>> WHAT HAPPENS IS YOUR ORDER WILL ACTUALLY BE TRANSMITTED BACK TO THE COMPANY WHO HANDLES IT WITH THE UPHOLDING OF THE FINE AND THE 30 DAYS TO PAY, AND THEN THEY WILL SEND A NEW NOTICE OUT TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. SO, IT GOES THROUGH

THE THIRD COMPANY. >> OKAY.

>> SO, YOUR ORDER WITH THE AMOUNT IN THE 30 DAYS WILL GO TO THE COMPANY WHO WILL THEN NOTIFY HIM OF THAT.

>> OKAY. AND HE WOULD STILL HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL?

>> IT'S NOT REALLY AN APPEALABLE ITEM. YEAH.

>> THANK YOU. SO, YOU SHOULD GET SOMETHING. A NOTICE .

>> ANOTHER NOTICE? >> ANOTHER NOTICE WITH 30 DAYS

TO PAY. >> OKAY. I WILL PAY A LITTLE

BIT TODAY. >> YOU NEED TO WAIT TO GET THE

NOTICE FROM THE COMPANY. >> OKAY.

>> OKAY? >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, SPECIAL

[B. 24-319 PK 100 Block AE Backus Avenue Michael Craig Michael Rabenecker]

MAGISTRATE. >> THANK YOU. OUR NEXT CASE

WILL BE -- >> GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, YOUR HONOR.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> MY NAME IS MICHAEL. I AM A PARKING ENFORCEMENT SPECIALIST. BEFORE YOU IS CASE NUMBER 24-319. THE CASE WAS INITIATED ON FEBRUARY 1ST, 2024. THIS IS A PARKING CITATION DISPUTE. THE OWNER THE VEHICLE CAME BACK AS MICHAEL CRAIG. THE VIOLATION IS PARKING ON THE CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY. THE CITATION NUMBER WRITTEN IS 16760 , VIOLATION OF THE ORDINANCE -- THE CITY IS ASKING FOR $50.00 FIND TO BE ASSESSED WITHIN A MINISTRY TO FEE OF $10.00, FOR A TOTAL DO A $60.00. THE CITY REQUESTED THE SPECIAL METASTRAIGHT FIND THAT THE MAGISTRATE EXIST FOLLOWING BEING ORDERED. THE VIOLATOR BE ASSESSED A FINE OF $60.00, AND FAILURE TO PAY WILL RESULT IN CITATION BEING AFFORDED TO THE COUNT COURT SYSTEM. THIS REDUCED OUR DATE AND TIME STANDS, AND THEY ACCURATELY PORTRAY THE VIOLATIONS THAT

WITNESSED. >> WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE

PHOTOGRAPHS, SIR? >> I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF MY

OWN. >> OKAY.

>> CINDY WOULD MOVE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS INTO EVIDENCE AS

CITIES COMPOSITE CITY ONE. >> PHOTOGRAPHS SUBMITTED WILL BE ENTERED AS CITIES COMPOSITE EXHIBIT ONE.

PHOTOGRAPHS. CAN YOU TELL US ON THE SCREEN WHICH ONE OF THESE VEHICLES RECEIVED THE TICKET? OR IS THERE A BETTER

PHOTOGRAPH? >> THERE IS.

>> THANK YOU. >> YEP, THAT ONE.

>> THAT IS VERY CLEAR. WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND?

>> YES. ONE IS A VISITOR TO YOUR FINE CITY . WE REALLY APPRECIATE ALL OF THE AMPLE PARKING THAT THEY DO ALLOW . WE WERE AT THE FARMERS MARKET THAT DAY . THERE ARE NO NO PARKING SIGNS ALL THE WAY ALONG THE AVENUE ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET. SEVERAL OTHER CARS WERE PARKED THERE. IT APPEARS THAT IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON PLACE TO PARK ALONG THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY.

I HAVE PICTURES ACTUALLY A FORT PIERCE . WE WERE UNAWARE THAT THAT WAS AN ILLEGAL PARKING SPOT , AND I JUST REQUEST THAT THE COURT SEE THAT THIS FINE WITHOUT A NO PARKING SIGN IS A

[00:15:02]

LITTLE EGREGIOUS. >> WELL, JUST MY THOUGHTS ON IF THE SHERIFF OR IF A CITY VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE CITY'S RIGHT-OF-WAY, WOULD THAT NOT BE THE SAME?

>> I BELIEVE THAT IT IS NOT THE SAME, BUT IT IS NOT A GOOD

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THERE IS AN EXEMPTION IN OUR ORDINANCES ALLOWING CITY VEHICLES DURING THE COURSE OF BUSINESS TO

UTILIZE THAT AREA. >> THAT WAS MY THOUGHT.

>> I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT . BUT IT DOES NOT SET A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE FOR A VISITOR THAT IF THOSE VEHICLES ARE PARKED THERE , PLUS I HAVE GOT NUMEROUS PICTURES OF BOTH SIDES OF THE AVENUE. SO, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT SOME SIGNS SHOULD GO UP. THE FARMERS MARKET IS EVERY SATURDAY. THEY HAVE THE PIRATE FEST, IT WAS CRAMMED WITH CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. AND WITH THE BIG PARKING LOT RIGHT THERE , IT INVITES PEOPLE TO COME THERE AND PARK. IF THE PARKING LOT IS

FULL -- >> IN THIS PICTURE, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A SPACE RIGHT THERE.

>> THAT WAS AFTER WE WERE COMING BACK FROM THE FARMERS MARKET . SO, YES, PEOPLE WERE BEGINNING TO LEAVE.

>> ARE THERE PICTURES YOU WANTED TO INTRODUCE THAT ARE

DIFFERENT FROM THESE? >> YEAH. I DON'T HAVE THEM.

THEY ARE ELECTRONIC, AND I HAVE TO SEND THEM ELECTRONICALLY

SOMEHOW. >> IF YOU WANT TO BRING THE PHOTOS UP, BOBBY, CAN YOU CHANGE THAT? THE RED DOT.

>> WE WILL GO THROUGH THEM ONE BY ONE.

>> THIS IS A VIDEO OF THE AREA WITH ABSOLUTELY NO NO PARKING SIGNS OR ANY SUGGESTION THAT , YOU KNOW, THAT YOU SHOULD NOT

PARK THERE. >> WHAT ABOUT THAT SIGN YOU JUST ROLLED BY? DOZENS OF CARS PARKED ALONG THE ROAD THERE.

>> WHO ARE ALSO IN VIOLATION.

>> I AM SURE THAT THEY ARE. BUT WERE THEY ALL TICKETED?

>> I DON'T KNOW PERSONALLY, BUT I AM GUESSING THEY ARE.

>> SO ALMOST DOZENS AND DOZENS OF CARS WERE TICKETED?

>> HE DOES NOT NEED TO ANSWER THAT.

>> WE WERE WELL OFF THE ROADWAY.

>> I WOULD LIKE TO ASK IS THERE ANY SIGNS IN THE AREA FOR APPROPRIATE PLACES TO PARK? SUCH AS PARK IN DESIGNATED

SPOTS? >> THE PARKING LOT, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PICTURE, IS THE ROADWAY THAT GOES INSIDE THE

ROPE SECTION. >> WHAT PICTURE?

>> THE PICTURE ON THE SCREEN .

>> WE HAVE A DIFFERENT SCREEN.

>> OH, OKAY. >> CAN WE GO BACK TO THE STAFF,

PLEASE? >> OKAY. --

>> ONE SECOND. >> YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS

PARKING THERE. >> OKAY, HERE WE GO. THANK YOU.

NOW WE CAN SEE IT. WE DID NOT HAVE WHAT YOU HAD.

>> OH, OKAY. SO, THE ROADWAY HERE GOES RIGHT INTO THE PARKING LOT, AND INSIDE THE ROPE. IS DESIGNATED PARKING.

OUTSIDE OF THE ROPE. IS NOT DESIGNATED PARKING. THERE ARE SOME NO PARKING SIGNS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET , BUT THIS IS A CITY RIGHT-OF-WAY. SO, THE ROADS WOULD INDICATE THAT THAT IS INSIDE THE PARKING LOT.

>> MICHAEL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE SIGN HERE SAYS?

>> NO, I CAN'T READ THAT. >> WE DO HAVE A PICTURE OF THE

SIGN. >> I BELIEVE THAT IS THE THYMUS

IS PARKING REGISTRATION. >> I BELIEVE IT WAS NO BOAT TRAILERS. THEY PUT THOSE SIGNS BACK UP.

>> THERE ARE NO SIGNS ANYWHERE IN THE AREA INDICATING WHERE TO

PARK OR WHERE NOT TO PARK. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IT IS

[00:20:02]

EVERY ROAD OF THE CITY. >> PARDON ME, WHAT IS A LOGICAL

ABOUT IT? >> PARDON ME? I DID NOT HEAR

THAT. >> WHAT IS A LOGICAL ABOUT THAT ? POSTING NO PARKING SIGNS WERE YOU WANT PEOPLE TO PARK?

>> AGAIN, THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY OF EVERY BLOCK OF EVERY ROAD IN THE CITY. HE SAID THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PARKING AREA , BUT THE ROPE IS A VERY CLEAR INDICATION OF

THE PARKING AREA. >> THAT ONE PICTURE MIGHT SHOW FURTHER BACK . NO, THE ONE THAT HAS ALL OF THE VEHICLES PARKED THERE. IN THAT AREA, THE RIGHT-OF-WAY, YOU SOMETIMES HAVE ELECTRICAL BOXES, YOU KNOW, ELECTRICAL THINGS. SO, WHEN PEOPLE PARK IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY LIKE THAT , IT

DOES DAMAGE TO ELECTRICAL. >> IS THAT NOT SPECULATION THAT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING THERE?

>> I THINK THAT IS TESTIMONY AS TO THE PURPOSE OF A RIGHT-OF-WAY , AND WHY IT IS IN THE CITY'S BEST INTEREST TO

KEEP A CLEAR OF VEHICLES. >> I TOTALLY AGREE. BUT I THINK VISITORS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO THINK THAT YOU CAN'T PARK IN A RIGHT-OF-WAY -- I MEAN, YOU ARE DIRECTED TO

GO TO BUCKOS TO PARK. >> THE FACT THAT YOU ARE DIRECTED TO GO THERE TO PARK DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU PARK

OUTSIDE OF THE PARKING AREA. >> THERE ARE CERTAINLY SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, AS YOU CAN SEE.

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN VIOLATION. BUT THEY ARE NOT HERE RIGHT NOW. MAYBE THEY ALREADY PAID THEIR TICKETS. I DON'T KNOW.

>> HOW MANY PEOPLE FROM OUT OF STATE DON'T HAVE TIME TO COME IN A MONTH LATER TO CONTEST, SO THEY JUST PAY . IT SEEMS A LITTLE BIT LIKE ENTRAPMENT ALMOST .

>> I'M SORRY, DID YOU TESTIFY THAT THE LOT WAS FULL?

>> PARDON ME? >> DID YOU TESTIFY THAT THE LOT

WAS FULL? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> SO YOU DID LOOK IN THE LOT TO SEE IF HE COULD PARK THERE? BECAUSE IT WAS THE DESIGNATED PARKING AREA.

>> WE LOOKED IN THE LOT TO SEE IF THERE WAS PARKING. WE SAW A PARKING SPACE OUTSIDE, AND WE PULLED IN AND PARKED.

>> OKAY. >> I FIND THAT THE FINE IS A LEGITIMATE FINE , AND PARKING IN THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS I THINK COMMONLY ACCEPTED AS A NO PARKING AREA. WHETHER THERE IS AN ACTUAL SIGN RIGHT IN THAT SPACE THAT SAYS YOU CANNOT PARK HERE. SO, I FIND THAT YOU ARE LIABLE FOR THE FINE OF $50.00 , AND AN A MINISTRY TO FEE OF 10, FOR A TOTAL OF $60.00. IF IT IS NOT PAID WITHIN 20 DAYS, IT WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM , AND YOU DO HAVE A 30 DAY RIGHT TO APPEAL AS

WELL. >> SO I CAN APPEAL THIS?

>> YES. >> THAT WOULD GO TO ANOTHER

HIGHER COURTS? >> CORRECT.

>> OKAY. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR. >> OUR NEXT CASE WILL BE

[C. 24-313 PK 100 Blk Melody Lane Karen La Flamme Michael Rabenecker]

>> NUMBER? >> GOOD MORNING.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, YOUR HONOR.

THE NEXT CASE BEFORE YOU IS CASE NUMBER 24-313, A PARKING CITATION THAT TOOK PLACE AT THE 100 BLOCK MELODY LANE. THE CASE WAS INITIATIVE ON FEBRUARY 2ND, 2024. THIS IS A PARKING CITATION DISPUTE. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE CAME BACK AS KAREN LAFLAMME , AND THE CETACEAN NUMBER WRITTEN IS 20594, PARKING VIOLATION OF CITY ORDINANCE 34-30 5A , WROTE CLOSE DUE TO A SPECIAL EVENT. THAT WOULD BE THE FRIDAY FEST.

THE CITY IS ASKING THAT A $50.00 FIND BE ASSESSED , ADMINISTRATION FEE OF $10.00, AND LATE FEE OF $60.00. THE CITY REQUESTED THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FINDS THAT THE VIOLATION EXISTS, THE FOLLOWING THE ORDER. THE VIOLATOR BE ASSESSED A FINE OF THE AMOUNT OF $60.00 , AND

[00:25:04]

>> MA'AM, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS? NO, I HAVE

THEM AS WELL. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> DO WE WANT THAT IN? >> WE PROVIDE THAT ON HER

BEHALF USUALLY. >> I WILL MOVE THE PHOTOGRAPHS IN AS WE COMPOSITE IN A, AND -- AM SORRY, COMPOSITE ONE IN ADDITION TO THE PHOTOGRAPHS. THERE IS A PARKING CITATION

APPEAL COMPLETED AS WELL. >> THANK YOU.

>> PHOTOGRAPHS WILL BE ENTERED AS CITIES COMPOSITE CITY ONE.

>> ANYTHING ELSE, SIR? >> NO, MA'AM.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION. WHAT SHE PARKED IN A HANDICAPPED SPACE? PROPERLY DISPLAYED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SIGN WAS THERE WHEN I PARKED AT 1:00 IN THE AFTERNOON. I HAD MY AUNT. SHE IS IN A WALKER. I AS WELL HAVE HAD MULTIPLE SURGERIES. SHE WAS IN A WALKER. IT WAS ONLY AROUND 1:00, AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SIGN WAS THERE. I WOULD NOT HAVE PARKED THERE. I WOULD HAVE JUST GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. THERE ARE ONLY TWO HANDICAP SPOTS, AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE AT THAT TIME.

THIS WAS 1:00 WHEN I PARKED. AND WE WENT TO THAT LITTLE GIFT SHOP IN FRONT . I WOULD NOT HAVE PARKED THEIR HAD THE SIGN BEEN THERE. I WOULD HAVE TAKEN HER SOMEWHERE ELSE. AND THEY UNDERSTAND NOW THAT YOU HAVE THIS BIG PARTY, BUT I THINK PERHAPS A WARNING OF SOME SORT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE . I WOULD HAVE TAKEN HER TO ANOTHER LOCATION.

SHE IS IN A WALKER. SHE CAN'T WALK FAR AT ALL . AND I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE THAT SIGN WAS THERE. IT WAS REALLY EARLY WHEN I PARKED . BECAUSE SHE IS FROM OUT OF TOWN. SO, WE WANT TO THAT LITTLE GIFT SHOP NEXT TO CRAPPIES FOR QUITE A WHILE.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, THE FOR THE SAME BRINGING UP NOW ARE DATE STAMPED AT 6:56 A.M., AND THAT IS WHEN THE SIGNS ARE PLACED IN THE MORNING. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ACTUAL SPOT REHEAR THAT 7:00 A.M. WITH THE SIGN .

>> DID YOU TAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS?

>> NO, I DID NOT. >> WERE TO THESE PHOTOGRAPHS

COME FROM? >> FROM A CODE OFFICER.

>> FROM A CODE OFFICER? ALL RIGHT.

>> YEAH, I'M JUST QUESTIONING. SHE WAS NOT CITED FOR BEING IN THE HANDICAPPED SPACE, BECAUSE SHE PROBABLY HAS A HANDICAP

STICKER. >> YES, I DO. THERE WAS JUST

NO PARKING ANY OF THE SPACES. >> THERE ARE ONLY TWO HANDICAP

SPOTS AT THAT SPOT. >> ALL RIGHT. HAVE YOU SEEN

THIS PHOTO? >> I DID NOT SEE THAT SIGN. AND THERE WERE THREE OF US. MY AUNT AND MY COUSIN DROVE OVER FROM THE WEST COAST. I CAN'T IMAGINE THREE OF US WOULD HAVE MISSED THAT SIGN. WE WOULD HAVE TOTALLY GONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. I WOULD NOT HAVE PARKED THERE WITH A HANDICAP PERSON.

I AM MYSELF, BUT I CAN MANAGE NOW. IT'S MULTIPLE SURGERIES.

BUT SHE IS IN A WALKER. SHE CAN'T GO FAR AT ALL. I TOTALLY

WOULD HAVE ONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. >> I DON'T DISBELIEVE THAT YOU

DID NOT SEE IT . >> BUT THREE OF US DID NOT SEE

IT? >> IN THIS PHOTO , IT IS CLEARLY THERE AND THAT IT WAS POSTED AT 6:00 A.M.

>> IT IS JUST ODD THAT THREE OF US MISSED THAT SIGN FOR REAL.

THAT WOULD BE BLATANT AND RUDE. I WOULD TOTALLY NOT DO THAT.

BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES ARE.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF I MAY, THAT IS NOT THE ONLY SIGN

THAT IS IN THAT AREA. >> OH, YES, I SAW THEM.

>> I CAN GO THROUGH THIS ENTIRE SLIDE DECK SHOWING ALL OF THE POSTINGS AND NOTIFICATIONS THAT ARE PLACED OUT THERE AT 6:00 A.M. SO, THAT WAS NOT THE ONLY SIGN THEIR . THERE ARE MULTIPLE SIGNS THROUGHOUT THE AREA TO TRY TO MAKE IT AS CLEAR AS

[00:30:02]

HAPPENING AT 2:00 P.M. >> THERE ARE SEVERAL.

>> I DID SEE MANY, MANY SIGNS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD.

I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE HANDICAPPED SPOT.

>> I THINK, BASED ON THE PICTURES , THAT THE SIGNAGE IS PRETTY CLEAR. SO, I FIND THAT THE VIOLATION IS UPHELD. IN THE FINE OF $60.00 IS DUE , AND YOU HAVE 20 DAYS TO PAY IT BEFORE IT GOES TO THE COUNTY COURT. IF YOU DO WANT TO APPEAL, YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO DO SO.

>> OKAY. WORD HERE WE GO TO PAY THAT? YES, I WILL. I WILL NOT BE TAKING MY AUNT TO FORT PIERCE AGAIN.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE $10.00 MINISTRY FEE?

>> THE TOTAL DUE IS $60.00. >> THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.

>> THANK YOU. I AM SORRY, DID YOU SAY TO GO?

>> SHE WILL GO WITH YOU. >> ALL RIGHT, GIVE ME ONE MINUTE TO DO THIS. I AM SORRY. JUST GIVE ME ONE MINUTE.

>> THIS IS FOR C, RIGHT? >> YES, MA'AM. READY?

>> NO. >> OKAY.

>> THE PHOTOGRAPHS SUBMITTED WILL BE ENTERED AS CITIES COMPOSITE EXHIBIT ONE.

[00:35:03]

>> I AM LOOKING AT THE PICTURE. IT CLEARLY SAYS BOAT AND

TRAILER PARKING. >> IT DOES. NO, WHAT HAPPENED WAS I HAD NEVER BEEN TO JC PARK , AND I FOUND OUT THAT THEY PLAYED PICKLEBALL THERE. SO, I WENT OVER LOOKING FOR A PICKLEBALL. I DROVE INTO THE PARKING LOT, AND I DID NOT SEE THE FIRST RIGHT TURN THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO PARKING. SO, I DROVE INTO THE PARKING LOT , AND I SAW THEM PLAYING PICKLEBALL . IT WAS A SUNDAY . I AM NOT DISPUTING THAT I WAS IN A BAD SPOT , BUT IT WAS SUNDAY. THERE WAS NOBODY PARKING THERE. SO, I DID PARK THERE, AND I WALKED ACROSS AND PLAYED PICKLEBALL. I WAS THERE ABOUT AN HOUR. I CAME BACK, AND I HAD THE TICKET. SO, I WAS KIND OF HOPING THAT BY APPEARING HERE THAT MAY BE THE FINE WOULD BE REDUCED , AND I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT WITH A WARNING , BECAUSE I CAN TELL YOU, A WARNING WOULD HAVE SERVED THE SAME PURPOSE.

BECAUSE I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE. I KNOW NOT TO PARK THERE AGAIN. I HAVE NOT BEEN PART PACK TO JC PARK CENTS.

BUT I WAS JUST HOPING THAT I COULD GET A WARNING AND A

REDUCED FINE. >> I DON'T KNOW IF A WARNING -- I MEAN, THERE ARE MULTIPLE SIGNS SAYING PARKING FOR BOAT TRAILERS ONLY. I THINK THAT WAS YOUR WARNING.

>> THERE WERE NO CARS PARKED THERE. I WAS THE ONLY CAR

PARKED THERE. >> OKAY. IS THE CITY OF

ANYTHING ELSE? >> NO, MA'AM.

>> I FIND THAT, UNFORTUNATELY , IT IS PRETTY CLEAR THAT IT WAS RESTRICTED, AND THAT YOU DID PARK THERE.

ABOUT IT? >> I CALL THE AGENT, MA'AM. I WAS SUPPOSED TO SHIP IT OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

>> I UNDERSTAND. >> I CALL THE COMPANY, AND THEY

>> NOT WITH ANY TIME. NO, MA'AM. I WAS NOT THERE TO NOTIFY THEM OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.

>> WHO PUT THE REFRIGERATOR OUT FRONT?

>> I PUT IT THERE. >> WHAT DID YOU PUT IT OUT?

>> THAT WAS 10 DAYS PRIOR TO THE CITATION.

>> 10 DAYS BEFORE THE CITATION YOU PUT THE FRIDGE ON THE PATIO? AND WHEN WAS THE FRIDGE REMOVED FROM THE PROPERTY?

>> IT WAS REMOVED , I'M NOT SURE. I WOULD BE LYING IF I TELL YOU. LIKE I SAID, I WAS NOT THERE WHEN THEY CAME AND PICKED IT UP. SO, THAT IS THE REASON.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I PUT THE WARNING UP . I CAN'T TURN IT, I APOLOGIZE. THEY HAVE BEEN SIDEWAYS. THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS OTHER THAN REMOVING THE REFRIGERATOR THAT WERE PROVIDED, INCLUDING SECURING THE DOORS . SO, THE REMOVAL WAS NOT THE ONLY OPTION THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, PROVIDED IN THE MORNING. THERE WERE OTHER OPTIONS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN

TAKEN. >> A LOCK OR A CHAIN TO SECURE THE DOORS SO CHILDREN CANNOT ACCESS IT.

>> YOU CAN SEE RIGHT THERE THAT THERE IS A NO TRESPASSING

SIGN ON MY FENCE. >> CHILDREN TEND TO NOT TO READ NO TRESPASSING SIGNS. IF A CHILD WERE TO GET IN IT --

>> WHAT ABOUT THE DOG? SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TO OPEN IT FOR HIM . DON'T YOU THINK SO? DOESN'T THAT MAKE SENSE?

>> THERE IS A REASON THAT THIS REQUIREMENT IS THERE. BECAUSE CHILDREN HAVE PERISHED IN REFRIGERATORS LIKE THAT.

>> BUT NO CHILDREN LIVE IN THERE. YOU KNOW? AND THERE ARE NO CHILDREN THAT COME AND PLAY IN MY YARD THERE EITHER. YOU KNOW? IF ANYTHING, THE DOG WILL COME AND OPEN THE DOOR IF

THEY GO IN THERE. >> I DON'T QUITE GET THAT.

BUT IT WAS OUT THERE FOR A LONG TIME , AND THERE WAS AN OPTION TO SECURE IT SO THAT THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. THAT WAS NOT DONE EITHER. SO, I FIND THAT THE FINE OF THE VIOLATION

I REMOVED THE SHUTTERS , BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO BE REMOVED ENCASE IT CATCHES FIRE OR SOMETHING. SO, I REMOVED THE SHUTTERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE HOUSE. I WAS UNAWARE OF THE FENCE. THE REASON THE FENCES LIKE THAT, I HAD MY HOUSE TEMPTED , AND THE PEOPLE WHO DID THE TENT, THEY THOUGHT I HAD TO REMOVE THAT PART OF THE FENCE TO DO THE TENT SO THEY COULD DO THE FLOOR. SO, I JUST WAS NOT ABLE TO FIX IT YET , BUT I REMOVED THE WOOD THAT I PUT UP THERE. I REMOVED THAT , AND I WILL CLEAN THE MOLDING. I WILL CLEAN THAT IF YOU GIVE ME

LAUGHTER ] >> THAT WOULD BE NICE.

>> AND I HAVE FOUR MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO TELL YOU WHERE I AM WITH ALL OF THIS, AND WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED? THANK YOU.

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP. I'M A LANDLORD HERE IN FORT PIERCE, AND I'VE ALWAYS HAD A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE BUILDING APARTMENT IN THE CODE ENFORCEMENT. SEAN CROSS HAS BEEN NICE TO ME FOR MANY YEARS. OVER THE YEARS , THE PEOPLE FROM CODE ENFORCEMENT HAVE COME TO OUR LAND ENFORCEMENT MEETINGS TO BE SPEAKERS . GENERALLY, THEY WOULD USE MYSELF AND MY EMPLOYEES AS AN EXAMPLE. THEY WOULD SAY THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO WRITE THE LETTERS. THEY WOULD JUST CALL USAND WE WILL RESOLVE THE PROBLEMS BY THE END OF THE DAY. WE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE . IN THE MILITARY, WE CALL IT BEING EXEMPLARY. WE NEVER HAD THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. AND THEY USED US FOR AN EXAMPLE. TWO WEEKS AGO, I WENT TO THE COURT OF HORSEMAN OFFICE WITH 15 OR 20 VIOLATIONS, MOST OF WHICH WERE FROM LATE LAST YEAR. I HAD A PROPERTY MANAGER WHO, FOR 25 YEARS, WAS EQUITABLY GOOD, IN A VERY STRONG MARKET, WE NEVER HAD LESS THAN 20 VACANCIES ALL LAST YEAR. AT $1000.00 A MONTH EACH, IT WAS A HUGE LOSS. WE HAD A TOLERABLE YEAR. HER SALARY WAS 1500 A WEEK, BUT AFTER ALL THOSE GOOD YEARS, I DIDN'T HAVE THE HEART TO FIRE HER. I WAS IN A REALLY TIGHT SPOT WITH HER. BUT THEN, I STARTED GETTING LOTS OF CODE ENFORCEMENT VIOLATIONS. MOST OF THE CODE VIOLATIONS WERE CAUSED INTENTIONALLY BY HER , BECAUSE WHEN I WANT TO LOOK AT THE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE THE VIOLATIONS, THE GRASS WAS SO HIGH, INCLUDING WHERE SHE LIVED. IT INVITED CODE TO COME AND CHECK OUT OTHER VIOLATIONS . CUTTING THE GRASS IS THE EASIEST PART OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT. LUCKILY FOR ME, SHE QUIT, BUT NOT BEFORE GETTING UPSET WITH ME FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. PERHAPS IT WAS BECAUSE I ASKED HER IF SHE WAS ON DRUGS , OR IF SHE HAD A FULL-TIME JOB SOMEWHERE ELSE. I REALLY DID ASK THAT. AND SHE REALLY WAS UPSET. SO SHE QUIT, I'VE BEEN DIGGING MYSELF OUT OF THIS HOLE WITH THE CITY VACANCIES. I WORKED SEVEN DAYS A WEEK, NO DAYS OFF. MY TYPICAL DAY STARTS BETWEEN 2:00 AND 3:00, AND THAT IS THE TRUTH, SO HELP ME GOD. I.E. MOST OF MY

[00:55:03]

ME AND A LOCAL BOY, A REAL ESTATE GUY, I THOUGHT WE COULD PLAY A PART HELP SAVING IT. MY FRIENDS TOLD ME I WAS CRAZY, AND THAT FORT PIERCE WAS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GO DOWNHILL, AND BE A . SINCE THAT DEISION, I BOUGHT 19 STORAGE IS DOWNTOWN, AND INSIDE OF 13TH STREET. I ALSO BOUGHT HATFIELD HILL , WHICH IS TWO CITY BLOCKS OF REALLY OLD HOUSES AND DUPLEXES OVERLOOKING THE PORT. 11 BUILDINGS FROM 10 DIFFERENT OWNERS ALL BUILT BEFORE AIR-CONDITIONING UP ON THE HILL TO GET THE BREEZE OFF OF THE WATER. I THOUGHT THOSE TWO ACRES WOULD BE A GREAT LOCATION FOR A SERIOUS FUTURE HOUSING PROJECT FOR A DEVELOPER. HOPEFULLY OUR GOAL HERE IS TO DO WHAT IS BEST FOR FOR SPIRITS, AND I'VE BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS. IF CODE ENFORCEMENT IS JUST GOING TO BEAT ME UP, I FELT BAD THING THIS. IF YOU ARE JUST GOING TO BE BE UP, I WILL JUST RETIRE AND NOT FIGHT THE SITE ANYMORE.

THIS HAS BEEN A REAL STRUGGLE FOR ME. WHAT YOU DECIDE HERE NOW IS VERY HEAVY ON ME. MY FATE IS IN YOUR HANDS. I HAVE A MISSION STATEMENT HERE IF I CAN GIVE IT TO YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE OF EXAMPLES OF WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT. AND, OUR

ACCOMPLISHMENTS. >> YOU WANT THIS ENTERED INTO

EVIDENCE? >> IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IT, IT IS FINE. THE ONES WITH PAPERCLIPS ON THE TOP ARE THE BEST ONES, PROBABLY.

>> YES. ARE ANY PICTURES IN HERE OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY?

>> NO, MA'AM. BUT THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE DO.

>> OKAY. >> IT WAS JUST INFORMATIVE

ONLY. >> YEAH.

>> JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE REALLY ARE SERIOUS AND WE ARE REALLY DOING THIS, AND WE ARE WORKING CRAZY IN FORT PIERCE TRYING TO MAKE IT BETTER. I REALLY WANT TO DO A GOOD JOB OF

THIS. >> OKAY. ON THIS PROPERTY, THE CITATIONS ON THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, DO YOU HAVE A PLAN

FOR THAT? >> YES. I MET WITH ISAAC HERE , AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MOST OF THE WORK IS ALREADY DONE. I ENTRUSTED A FEW PEOPLE WHO LET ME DOWN TO FINISH, AND THEY DID IT. BUT WE DID MOST OF THE WORK. I AM SURE THAT YOU WOULD AGREE WITH THAT . THE LAWN BUILDING NEVER GOT PAINTED, AND I WAS A PRIZE. I PAID A GUY TO DO IT AND I NEVER GOT DONE. I CONTRACTED WITH ANOTHER GUY NOW TO DO. HE WILL PRESSURE CLEAN AND PAINT IT. IT LOOKS AWFUL. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED, YOU KNOW, THAT WE DID I GET IT DONE. NONE OF THIS IS ROCKET SCIENCE.

IT IS ALL PRETTY BASIC, SIMPLE STUFF.

>> I THINK YOU AND ISAAC AMENDED THIS FROM 10 DAYS TO

20? >> I DID, BECAUSE WHEN I MET UP WITH SOME OF THE PROPERTIES, HE STATED HE NEEDED MORE TIME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIME, HE DOES MENTION 10 DAYS. HONESTLY, THERE IS A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE. THAT IS WHY I BUMPED IT UP TO 20. BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER CASE FOR HIM. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'LL BE ABLE TO DO THE WORK THAT IS DONE WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD. I AM NOT SURE IF HE NEEDS MORE TIME THAN

THE 20 DAYS. >> THAT IS WHY AM ASKING. DO

YOU NEED MORE TIME ? >> YEAH. ISAAC SAID THAT SOME OF THIS WILL REQUIRE A PERMIT. I DON'T KNOW THE SPEED AT WHICH YOU CAN GET A PERMIT. I CAN'T GET A PERMIT ANYWAYS .

>> SORRY TO INTERRUPT. IN REGARDS TO THE PERMITS, I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THAT TO THE 60 DAYS . AS LONG AS HE APPLIES FOR THE PERMIT, I KNOW IT WILL NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. I KNOW BUILDING DEPARTMENTS ARE A BIT TIGHT UP. BUT 60 DAYS TO DO THE PERMIT , MY MAIN CONCERN WOULD BE PAINTING THE PROPERTY, FIXING THE FENCE , AND THEN THE ROOTS AND DRAINAGE WOULD FALL UNDER THE CATEGORY OF OBTAINING THE PERMIT . YOU KNOW, ONCE HE APPLIES, HE HAS 60 DAYS TO APPLY IT. WANT TO GET THE PERMIT APPROVED, HE HAS 180 DAYS TO COMPLETE THE JOB. SO,

[01:00:02]

>> OKAY. 60 DAYS TO GET THE PERMIT -- THE TWO THINGS. THE PRESSURE WASHING AND REPAIRING THE FENCE WILL BE LESS THAN 60

DAYS. >> A CHANGE MY RECOMMENDATION

FROM 10 TO 20. >> 20? OKAY. AND I WILL ASK YOU, MR. HATFIELD, IS THAT EFFICIENT?

>> I WILL DO MY BEST. I HOPE SO.

>> OKAY. >> THERE IS NOTHING THAT WE CAN WORK OUT. NONE OF THIS IS A BIG DEAL. IT IS NOT IN DANGER ANY LIFE OR SAFETY . FOR ME, IS JUST A HUGE INCONVENIENCE TO HAVE TO DO THIS. I AM REALLY TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

>> WELL, I FIND THAT THE VIOLATION EXISTS, BUT THAT YOU WILL HAVE 30 DAYS FOR VIOLATIONS ONE AND THREE , AND 60 DAYS FOR TWO AND FOUR, WHICH REQUIRE A PERMIT.

>> YES, MA'AM. THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> I'M SORRY, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF YOU CAN COMPLETE WITH NUMBER FOUR IF YOU LIKE TO COMPLY?

>> FAILURE TO COMPLY, I WAS GETTING THERE.

>> SORRY. >> FILE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN $150.00 A DAY BEING ASSESSED. AND AS YOU PROBABLY WORKED WITH THEM BEFORE, JUST LET THEM KNOW YOUR PROGRESS IF

THERE IS A PROBLEM . >> I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY, I AM SORRY, FOR NUMBER TWO. IS IT 30 DAYS TO APPLY FOR THE PERMIT AND THEN 60 DAYS TO OBTAIN THE ACTUAL PERMIT?

>> TO APPLY. >> IT WOULD FALL IN THE SAME CATEGORY. HE HAS 60 DAYS TO APPLY FOR AND GET IT APPROVED.

>> THANK YOU. >> SO, IT MIGHT TAKE BUILDING 20 DAYS TO GET IT APPROVED. WE ARE GIVING HIM 60. AS LONG AS HE GETS IT , HE APPLIES FOR AND GETS IT APPROVED WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD, IF FOR WHATEVER REASON, THERE IS AN ISSUE IN BUILDING THAT CAN GET IT APPROVED WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD, THEN WE WILL MOVE FORWARD FROM THERE. BUT HE SHOULD HAVE SUFFICIENT TIME AT THAT POINT. 60 DAYS.

>> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, MA'AM. >> MR. HATFIELD?

>> IT IS WANT TO BE RELEASED.

>> YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL.

>> AND FOR THE RECORD, YOU DID NOT INCLUDE THAT I WAS NICE TO YOU. YOU I SAID SEAN. SO NOW YOU HAVE TO STAY FOR ANOTHER HOUR! YOU I SAID THAT SEAN WAS NICE TO YOU. YOU DO NOT SAY I WAS A FEW. SO, YOU WILL BE HERE FOR ANOTHER HOUR.

>> IT WAS VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.

[D. 23-2222 CE 1111 N 7th St James E Hatfield Isaac Saucedo]

>> ALL RIGHT. YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO

DO SO. >> WE HAVE ONE MORE.

>> OKAY. OUR NEXT CASE IS 23-2222, 1111 NORTH SEVENTH

STREET. >> THIS IS CASE NUMBER 23-2222 , 1111 NORTH SEVENTH STREET. THE CASE INITIATED ON AUGUST 4TH OF 2023 , OWNER IS JAMES E HATFIELD. THE VIOLATIONS ARE IPMC 04 .2 FOR PROJECTED TREATMENT -- I ENDED UP CHANGING MY RECOMMENDATION , JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONE. SO, THE CITY REQUESTED OF THE SPECIAL MINISTRY FIND THE VIOLATION EXISTS, THAT THE FOLLOWING THE ORDER. THAT THE VIOLATOR BE GIVEN 30 DAYS TO PRESSURE WASH AND PP HOMER DETERIORATION HAS OCCURRED , AND TO APPLY FOR A BUILDING PERMIT TO HAVE THE PREPARED WITHIN 60 DAYS AND HAVE THE PERMIT APPROVED. REALLY ARE TO COMPLY AND A RESULT OF $150.00.

I HAVE PHOTOS. >> ARE THE PHOTOS DATE AND TIME

STAMPED? >> THEY ARE, YES.

>> TO THE ACCURATELY DEPICT WHAT YOU WITNESSED AT THE

PROPERTY? >> YES, THEY DO.

>> THE CITY WOULD MOVE THESE EVIDENCE INTO COMPOSITE

EXHIBIT ONE. >> PHOTOS WILL BE MOVED INTO EVIDENCE AS CITIES COMPOSITE ONE.

>> OKAY. >> OKAY. DID YOU WANT TO ADD

ANYTHING? >> MAY I?

>> SURE. >> A LITTLE HONESTY MIGHT HELP HERE. THERE IS MORE DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE AND ISAAC NOTICED.

LAUGHTER ] HE DID NOT GO INSIDE. HE JUST ALWAYS OUTSIDE.

THE HOUSE HAS SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE TO IT. I NEED TO EITHER REBUILD IT OR TEAR IT DOWN . I DON'T KNOW WHICH. I TALKED TO ONE CONTRACTOR ABOUT IT READ LIKE A SECTION SERVICES INCORPORATED A GUY NAMED MARK NICHOLS , AND HE WAS THE DATE THEY ARE THE DAY THAT YOU WERE THERE. THAT WAS THE SECOND TIME HE WAS THERE. THEY WANTED $25,000 02 TEAR IT DOWN. AND I

[01:05:06]

OKAY WITH YOU GUYS. >> OKAY.

>> GO AHEAD. >> THIS IS THE ONE YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT, RIGHT? >> THE ONE RIGHT NEXT TO THE CEMETERY? TO SWEARING NEXT TO THE CEMETERY?

>> YES, MA'AM. >> I AM SORRY . YOU WANT 30 TO 60 DAYS TO MEET WITH A CONTRACTOR ? I AM SORRY. I WILL BACK UP. IS THIS A HISTORIC STRUCTURE?

>> I HAVE NO IDEA. IT DOES NOT HAVE A LICENSE, A PERMIT, A

PLOT, OR ANYTHING. >> OKAY. JUST BECAUSE I THINK YOUR OUTSIDE THAT ZONE. I JUST DID NOT CHECK IT.

-- >> IN YOUR PICTURES, I AM SURE THAT IT SHOWS IN THE CLASS OF THE SECOND BROKEN. WE CAN

REPLACE ALL OF THAT . >> SINCE IT IS VACANT, IT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE SECURED WITH EITHER SHUTTERS OR WOOD.

BECAUSE IF YOU REPLACE THE BROKEN GLASS, IT WILL BE BROKEN AGAIN ANOTHER DAY. SO, THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE SECURED.

>> ON ALL THE WINDOWS? >> YES.

>> OKAY. YEAH, I CAN DO THAT, SURE.

>> JAMIE CAN MEET WITH YOU AFTER ANTICS PLANE WHAT NEEDS

TO BE DONE. >> OKAY, YEAH.

>> OKAY, SO, TO CLARIFY, YOU WOULD LIKE HIM TO SECURE THE BUILDING WITH AND HOW MANY DAYS?

>> SEVEN. >> OKAY. MR. HATFIELD, DO YOU AGREE TO SECURE THE BUILDING WITHIN SEVEN DAYS? IN EXCHANGE FOR THE CITY CONTINUING THIS CASE ONTO A FUTURE DOCKET? IN, WHAT, 60 DAYS? TWO MONTHS? NEXT MEETING?

>> YOU KNOW WHAT? WE WILL PULL IT. BECAUSE I THINK, YOU KNOW

[01:10:06]

-- >> GIVE HIM TIME WANT TO GET

TO? >> WE WILL PULL IT. WE WILL

CONTINUE WITH. >> DO YOU AGREE TO SECURE IT

WITHIN SEVEN DAYS? >> MANY YEARS AGO, MY 10-YEAR-OLD SON RESPONDED WHEN ASKED HIM TO DO SOMETHING FOR ME. HE SAID I WOULD BE HAPPY TO.

>> THAT IS A YES. >> THAT IS A YES.

>> MR. HATFIELD LIKES TO DO YES.

>> OKAY. SO, WE WILL PULL THAT ONE. THANK YOU.

>> YOU ARE WELCOME. >> ANYTHING ELSE, MR. EVAN?

>> NO, MA'AM. >> THANK YOU.

>> OKAY. DID YOU WANT TO RESPOND, SIR?

>> YES, I WOULD. FIRST OF ALL, WHEN MY FRIEND AND I RODE OUR MOTORCYCLES TO GO TO THE LANDING, WHEN WE ARRIVED, THAT'S BARRICADED AND ROAD CLOSED SIGN, THEY WEREN'T THERE. ACTUALLY, NO SIGN WAS THERE EXCEPT FOR THE RED BUDWEISER BEER SIGN THAT SAID VEHICLES NEED TO BE MOVED BY 2:00. WELL, WE DID NOT EVEN SEEM THAT SIGN. BUT WHEN WE FIRST CAME IN THE PARKING LOT, THERE WERE NO PARKING SPOTS EXCEPT FOR THE ONE WE PARKED IN. BUT IT WAS PRETTY FAR FROM THE RESTAURANT, SO WE DROVE ALL THE WAY AROUND TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PARKING LOT, AND THE HANDICAPPED WAS FULL, BECAUSE I HAVE A HANDICAP PERMIT. THE MOTORCYCLE PARKING WAS FULL . EVERY PARKING SPACE WAS OCCUPIED EXCEPT ONLY PARKED IN. SO, WE PARKED THERE , AND AS WE GOT ON THE SIDEWALK AND STARTED WALKING TOWARDS COBB LANDING RESTAURANT, THAT IS WHEN WE SAW THE RED AND WHITE WINE THAT WOULD BUDWEISER BEER ON IT, AND IT SAID MOVE BY 2:00. WELL, WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE BACK BEFORE 2:00, BUT WHEN WE GOT IN THE RESTAURANT , WE TOOK FOREVER TO GET WAITED ON, AND THEN THEY MESSED UP ONE OF THE ORDERS. ANYWAYS, WE TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE SIGN, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A REAL SERIOUS SIGN PUT SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST TRY TO BE OUT OF THERE BY 2:00, BECAUSE IT WASN'T AN ACTUAL CITY SIGN. ANYWAY, WENT BACK TO THE BIKES A LITTLE AFTER 2:30, LIKE, 3:35, AND READY TO GET ON THE

[01:40:03]

>> HELLO. YES, I AM JUST LOOKING .

MORNING? >> IS THERE A FOLDER THAT SAYS

FILE? THERE IN 4C. >> THAT ONE RIGHT THERE.

>> THAT IS JANUARY 2ND. >> DO YOU HAVE THEM IN YOUR

PACKET? >> YES.

>> BEAR WITH ME, SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. I APOLOGIZE.

>> NO PROBLEM. CATS, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE , WHEN YOU SENT THE PHOTO, DID YOU INCLUDE ALL THE PHOTOS THAT WE HAD?

>> ALL THE PHOTOS WERE INSIDE THAT FOLDER. CORRECT.

>> ARRAY, JUST MAKING SURE. SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WHEN I AM SITTING NOW ARE THE PHOTOS THAT ARE DATE AND TIME STAMPED FOR 7:14 A.M. THAT IS SHOWING ALL THE SIGNS WERE PLACED OUT AT

7:15 A.M. >> OKAY.

>> SO, THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE DATE STAMPED JANUARY 5TH, TIME STAMPED 7:14 A.M. AND 7:17 A.M. I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE THESE PHOTOS INTO EVIDENCE OF CITIES COMPOSITE EXHIBIT TWO.

>> OKAY. PHOTOS WILL BE ENTERED AS CITIES COMPOSITE EXHIBIT TWO. AND I BELIEVE THEY SHOW PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN AT 7:14 A.M. THOSE ARE TAKEN OF THE SIGNS. IT SAYS THAT VEHICLES HAD TO BE OUT OF THERE BY TWO. AND I BELIEVE THE RESPONDENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE KNEW THAT THEY HAD TO BE MOVED BY 2:00, BUT THEY RETURNED AFTER 2:00. IS THAT CORRECT, SIR?

>> YES, THAT IS CORRECT. I DON'T SEE A TIMESTAMP THING 7:00 IN THE MORNING. I KNOW THAT ROAD CLOSED SIGN WAS NOT THERE. THE BARRICADE WAS DEFINITELY NOT THERE. BECAUSE THAT IS WHITE RIGHT BY THE RESTAURANT WE WENT TO. WE DROVE RIGHT BY THERE, SO WE WOULD HAVE DROVE RIGHT INTO THE SIGN ACTUALLY. BUT IT WAS NOT THERE. IN THE TIMESTAMP ON THE ROAD CLOSED SIGN IS HE HERE IS TO: 20.

>> SIR, WE HAVE ENTERED EXHIBIT NUMBER TWO INTO EVIDENCE. THEY ARE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM JANUARY 5TH. THEY'RE NOT IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS YOU WERE SENT.

>> WELL, I AM NOT LYING WHEN I TELL YOU THE SIGN WAS NOT IN THE ROAD. IT MIGHT'VE BEEN UP ON THE SIDEWALK SOMEWHERE, BUT IT WAS NOT IN THE ROAD. PLUS, I WAS CITED FOR PARKING ON A STREET THAT IT WAS NOT PARKED ON.

>> SIR, AVENUE A IS ALSO KNOWN AS MARINA WAY.

>> NOT ACCORDING TO GOOGLE MAPS. THIS IS MARINA WAY ONLY

GOES NORTH AND SOUTH. >> THAT IS MELODY LANE THAT

GOES NORTH AND SOUTH. >> THAT IS WHAT I MEANT. I MET

MELODY LANE. >> CORRECT. MARINA WAY AND AVENUE A ARE INTERCHANGEABLE. THAT IS FROM SECOND STREET WEST TO MELODY LANE IS KNOWN AS MARINA WAY.

>> ALL RIGHT. ACTUALLY ON THE TICKET, I CAN'T EVEN READ WHAT

[01:45:01]

>> THERE WAS ANOTHER PHOTO I WAS LOOKING FOR. I AM SORRY, I'M LOOKING FOR A PHOTO. THERE WAS A PHOTO THAT I HAD PUT IN YOUR PACKET, MICHAEL, BECAUSE THERE ARE ACTUALLY THREE OF THOSE BUDWEISER SIGNS BETWEEN THAT PARKING SPOT AND COPS LANDING, WHERE HE WENT TO LUNCH. THERE ARE ACTUALLY THREE OF THOSE BUDWEISER SIGNS IN A ROW.

>> I BELIEVE YOU TESTIFIED ALREADY THAT HE DID SEE THE SIGNS, BUT HE DID NOT THINK THAT HE HAD TO OBEY THE SIGNS, BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T OFFICIAL CITY SIGNS. THAT I PARAPHRASE

THAT CORRECTLY, SIR? >> YES, MA'AM.

>> THANK YOU. >> I SAW THE SIGNS . I USED TO BE A BARTENDERS DEPUTY SHERIFF, AND I THOUGHT THE SIGNS WERE A JOKE , BECAUSE THIS IS BUDWEISER BEER ON THEM, NUMBER ONE, AND IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SIDEWALK, WHICH SOMEONE COULD FALL OVER AND GET HURT. OBVIOUSLY THE CITY DID NOT PUT THE SIGNS THERE. I WASN'T TRY TO BE A JERK OR ANYTHING AND COME BACK LATE, IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT WE DID BECAUSE I FORGOT ABOUT THE WHOLE THING WHEN WE WERE AT THE RESTAURANT. THEN THEY CAME BACK AND I SAW THE TICKET. SO, SEEING HOW MUCH IT WAS, I WAS LIKE HOLY CRAP, THAT WAS A LOT OF MONEY. $50.00 FOR A PARKING TICKET! I MEAN, I JUST MEANT THAT MUCH OF THE RESTAURANT. NORMALLY I GO THERE ON MONDAYS , BUT THIS ONE TIME, I WENT ON A FRIDAY. I NEVER GO ON FRIDAYS. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS THING WAS . THE FESTIVAL OR WHATEVER IT WAS? I HAD NEVER BEEN THERE. I DID NOT

KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON. >> ANYTHING FURTHER?

>> NO, MA'AM. >> OKAY.

>> WELL, I FIND THAT THE VIOLATION DID OCCUR . THE FACT THAT YOU ACKNOWLEDGED THAT YOU KNEW 2:00 WAS WHEN YOU HAD TO BE BACK, AND YOU DO NOT MAKE IT BACK AT 2:00. IT DOESN'T MEAN THE VIOLATION DID NOT OCCUR. I FIND THE FIND OF $50.00 AND THE MINISTRY TO FEE OF $10.00 WITH A TOTAL OF $60.00 IS TO , AND YOU HAVE 14 DAYS TO PAY IT, OR WILL BE FORWARDED TO THE COUNTY COURT SYSTEM. YOU HAVE A 30 DAY RIGHT TO APPEAL IF YOU WISH TO

DO SO. >> HOW DOES THAT WORK?

>> THERE ARE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE RULES THAT ARE PUBLISHED FOR THIS PROCEEDING . IF YOU WOULD LIKE A COPY, WE CAN EMAIL THAT TO YOU. WOULD YOU LIKE TO RECEIVE A COPY?

>> YES, I WOULD. AGAIN, IF HAVE TO SHOW UP OR SOMETHING DURING THE WEEK, I WORK ALL WEEK OUT-OF-STATE. I'M A COURIER FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT . I AM IN VIRGINIA RIGHT NOW. I JUST GOT HERE THIS MORNING. I WILL BE BACK IN

FLORIDA UNTIL FRIDAY. >> YOU HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL , AND THE RULES WILL GIVE YOU INFORMATION AS TO HOW TO DO THAT. BUT THE APPEAL WOULD NOT BE TO THIS COURT, IT WOULD BE

I CAN PULL THAT UP IF YOU NEED ME TO. I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE WERE ALREADY ENTERED IN AS WELL. BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNS .

NOTHING WAS CLOSED OFF. THERE WERE NO ROAD CLOSURES AT THE FRONT END THAT WHEN I PARKED THERE. I WAS COMPLETELY UNAWARE THAT THERE IS AN EVENT GOING ON. I AM ALSO A VENDOR IN FARES LIKE THIS, SO I AM KIND OF SENSITIVE TO THAT, SO I WOULD HAVE NEVER PARKED THERE HAD I KNOWN.

CLOSED SIGN. >> THERE IS A SIGN . IT IS SHOWING ROAD CLOSED . VEHICLES MUST BE MOVED BY 2:00. SO, IT

IS THERE SAYING THAT. >> JUST TO BE CLEAR, ALL OF THE SIGNAGE IS PUT OUT EARLY IN THE MORNING. SIX OR 7:00 A.M. THE BARRICADES ARE PUT TO THE SIDE. AND THEN THE ROAD GETS CLOSED AT 2:00, AND THE BARRIERS GET PUT IN PLACE.
