CASE. >> FIRST CASE TODAY WILL BE THE SECOND IN VIOLATION CASES CE 2025 -466 AT 411 NORTH, SECOND STREET YOU CAN NOW COME UP TO THE PODIUM.

>> GOOD MORNING SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, HEATHER DEBEVEC CITY OF FORT PIERCE CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE NUMBER CE-2025-466 LOCATION 411 NORTH LOCATION 411 N. 2ND ST. THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION WAS ISSUED ON AUGUST 13 OF THIS YEAR. HOUSE THAT CIDER BUILT, VIOLATIONS RIP MC 3.402 PROTECTIVE TREATMENT, 3.401 EXTERIOR STRUCTURE I HAVE PHOTOS TO SUBMIT.

>> HAVE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK ?

>> I BELIEVE IT. YES. >> YOU PROVIDED PHOTOGRAPHS DATED AUGUST 11, A COPY OF NOTICE OF VIOLATION WENT TO THE PROPERTY OWNER AND PHOTOGRAPHS DATED NOVEMBER 21 AND DECEMBER 1 THE PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN BY YOU. ARE PHOTOGRAPHS TRULY DEPICTING AS YOU OBSERVE THEM? THIS TIME THE CITY WILL MOVE TO EVIDENCE COMPOSITE ONE.

>> ACCEPT EVIDENCE CITY COMPOSITE ONE. ANYTHING FURTHER

TO PRESENT? >> NOT AT THIS TIME.

[00:05:02]

>> ANYTHING YOU WISH TO RESPOND TO?

>> YEAH, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET SOME QUOTES ON THIS I HAVE CONTACTED, I CANNOT DO THE WORK MYSELF I NEED A PERMIT SO I HAD A COUPLE OF CONTRACTORS AND I CALLED UP SEVEN DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS WITH FOUR TO COME OUT ONLY ONE GAVE ME AN ACTUAL PROPOSAL AND I DID GIVE HIM A DEPOSIT CHECK AND GOING FORWARD WITH IT HE GAVE ME HIS INFORMATION. BASICALLY, THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ME , ALL THE OTHER ONES WANT ME TO COMPLETELY REDO THE WHOLE SIDING AND THE BUILDING I GUESS IT IS THAT BAD, BUT COULD BE UP TO $70,000 FOR THE JOB SO THAT IS WHAT I AM

STUCK WITH NOW. >> SO, YOU HAVE HIRED A

CONTRACTOR OR YOU HAVE NOT? >> I GAVE HIM A DEPOSIT AND HE IS GOING TO FINISH THE FINITE PROPOSAL AND WE WILL BE TAKING , WHAT WE ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO DO, REGARDLESS I HAVE TO DO IT EITHER WAY WOULD TWO DIFFERENT BUILDINGS. WE ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO TAKE THE SIDING OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE TWO-STORY BUILDING, USE WHAT WE CAN SALVAGE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT MAKE THAT ANYMORE. THEY DO NOT MAKE THE WOOD , THE PROFILE AND PUT IT ON THE OTHER BUILDING AND THEN PUT ALL NEW SIDING ON THE INITIAL BUILDING, AS LONG AS THAT IS OKAY WITH THE HISTORICAL COMMITTEE, THAT WILL BE. OTHERWISE I HAVE TO DO THE WHOLE

THING. >> WHEN IS THE CONTRACTOR

SUPPOSED TO START WORK? >> HE HAS TO GO THROUGH THE PERMITTING AND THE HISTORICAL BOARD. I CANNOT SEE HE WON'T START UNTIL MAYBE FEBRUARY. BECAUSE WHEN HE GOES BEFORE THE HISTORICAL BOARD WHICH MEETS ONCE A MONTH, HE AGAIN HAS TO SET UP TO GET ON THE DOCKET IT WILL BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THAT AND THAT IS JUST TO GET THE INITIAL APPROVAL TO GO AHEAD WITH THE ACTUAL PERMIT. IT IS A PROCESS.

>> RIGHT IT IS A PROCESS THAT YOU GOT THE NOTICE OF VIOLATION

ON AUGUST 13. >> YES AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING.

IT IS A LITTLE HARDER THAN YOU WOULD EXPECT TO GET SOMEBODY TO

COME OUT TO ANSWER A CALL. >> I LIVE HERE AS WELL, I DO

KNOW THAT. >> AND THEY ALL WANT TO GET BACK TO YOU, THEY SAY THEY WILL GET BACK TO YOU AND I LITERALLY HAD ONE OF THE SEVEN GET BACK TO ME AND I HAVE TO GO THAT COURSE.

>> THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THEY WANT TO GIVE 30 DAYS TO HAVE BUILDING PRESSURE WASHED AND PAINTED WHERE PAINT IS PEELING DISCOLORING, REPAIR AND REPLACE ROTTING WOOD AND OBTAIN NECESSARY PERMITS AND COMPLY. YOU'RE STATING YOU CANNOT DO THAT IN 30 DAYS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DEPARTMENT POSITION IS.

>> TYPICALLY 30 DAYS FOR THE PERMIT THEN YOU HAVE THE LENGTH OF THE PERMIT. GOING THROUGH THE HISTORICAL BOARD IF THE DIRECTOR DOES NOT OBJECT, I WOULD SAY 90 DAYS , THAT WAY HE HAS A CHANCE TO GET THROUGH HISTORICAL BOARD AND APPLY AND OBTAIN THE PERMITS TO DO THE WORK REQUESTED. BECAUSE HE WOULD HAVE THE LENGTH

OF THE PERMITS. >> WOULD DO DEPARTMENT LIKE MONTHLY UPDATES ON PROGRESS? THROUGH THE PROCESS , TO GRANT 90 DAYS SO YOU KNOW PROGRESS IS MADE AND YOU KNOW WHERE THE PROCESS IS BECAUSE IT IS A PROCESS BUT IT IS REALISTIC TO EXTEND THE TIME AND YOU REQUEST THE UPDATES.

>> THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL SO I CAN KEEP THE CASE UPDATED AND I CAN PROVIDE MY EMAIL ADDRESS FOR HIM. DOES THAT SOUND WORKABLE?

>> IT DOES AND I UNDERSTAND. >> ULTIMATELY THE CITY WANTS THE

CODE COMPLIED WITH. >> I UNDERSTAND. PAINTING AND PRESSURE CLEANING WILL NOT DO ANY GOOD IF I HAVE TO REPLACE.

>> I UNDERSTAND YOU HAVE REPLACED THE WOOD FIRST AND GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

>> YES IT'S GOING TO BE A TREAT.

>> ANY FURTHER TESTIMONY YOU WOULD LIKE TO GIVE?

>> MIGHT BE UNCONVENTIONAL, BUT THERE'S ANOTHER CASE THAT HAS TO DO WITH THIS PROPERTY TO AND A HALF YEARS OLD AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I CAN GET IT ON THE DOCKET AT SOME POINT, IT WENT BEFORE 2 1/2 YEARS AGO AND I WAS RECOMMENDED TO GO TO THE

[00:10:05]

>> YOU HAVE TO TALK TO DEPARTMENT STAFF.

>> I HAVE. OTHER THAN THAT THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.

>> ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE DEPARTMENT?

YOU. >> GOOD MORNING THIS IS SHAUN COSS INTERIM COMMUNITY RESPONSE DIRECTOR CASE NUMBER FAA-2025 -4, 2102 SOUTH 2102 S. 11TH ST., ALARM APPEAL CASE, THE ALARM INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT WERE FROM AUGUST 2, 2024 AT 2242 AUGUST 24 AUGUST 24, 2024 AT 18 3900 HOURS AND OCTOBER 29, 2024 AT 1807 HOURS. THE OFFER MENTIONED ARE DELINQUENT AND HAVE BEEN SENT TO COLLECTIONS BY THE THIRD PARTY ADMINISTERED HER. APPEAL IS NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 13 CALENDAR DAYS PURSUANT TO CITY ORDINANCE 14-67 C. THEREFORE CITY REQUEST SPECIAL MAGISTRATE DENIED A REQUEST FOR APPEAL AND ORDER TOTAL AMOUNT TO

DO ABOVE BE PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS. >> MA'AM, DO YOU HAVE A RESPONSE TO WHAT THE DEPARTMENT IS RECOMMENDING ON YOUR REQUEST

FOR THE APPEAL? >> YES, I HAVE AN EMAIL REQUESTING AN APPEAL FROM 8/19/2024 AND THEN I HAVE EMAILS FROM LIKE 10/3 FOLLOWING UP PROBABLY WITH ON 10/3 I HAVE AN EMAIL SAYING I'VE CALLED YOU GUYS TWO TIMES, I HAVE EMAILED TWO TIMES , I SENT A PIECE OF MAIL TWICE AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU KNOW THIS, BUT YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT ADDRESS ON THE TOP AND ON THE BOTTOM. ONE IS TO ORLANDO AND ONE IS TO ATLANTA. THE VERY FIRST TIME I SENT THE MAIL IT WAS RETURNED TO ME SO I ASSUME ONE OF THOSE ADDRESSES IS INCORRECT. SO I WAS MAKING ATTEMPTS TO RESPOND BACK AND FORTH AND SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE MONTHS BEFORE I GOT A RESPONSE BACK. I THINK , THEY DIRECTED ME SOMEWHERE ONLINE WHICH SAID I COULD SEND AN EMAIL BUT PRIOR TO THAT I BELIEVE I WAS DOING THE MAILING OPTION WHICH I THOUGT WAS THE PROCESS SO IT WAS UNCLEAR AND I WAS DOING MY PART TO TRY TO CORRESPOND WITH YOU GUYS. OBVIOUSLY, TO GET

[00:50:01]

THAT WOULD MEAN I WOULD CATCH IT EARLY ENOUGH AND ARM IT REMOTELY. SO THERE'S A LOT TO THIS WHERE I DON'T KNOW, UNDERSTAND AND I RESPECT THE TIME YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEND SOMEONE TO MY LOCATION. I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MY ALARM, BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME DISCONNECT WHICH I HAVE STATED.

YOU KNOW ON MANY OCCASIONS REALLY AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING FOR THE APPEAL BECAUSE I WOULD TOTALLY, I THINK I UNDERSTAND YOUR PROCESS RIGHT NOW, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR DISARMING OR RESPONDING TO MY ADT CALLS, ADT MAY HAVE BEEN AT FAULT FOR SOME OF THIS BY NOT REACHING OUT BUT AGAIN I HAVE SHOWN CALL RECORDS OF THE TIME AND I AM THE NUMBER ONE PERSON THAT GETS CALLED AND I'M NOT GETTING A CALL FROM THEM. I'M NOT SHOWING ON MY END OR A.M. DISARMING IT. SO AGAIN IS KIND OF UNFAIR . I AM A SMALL BUSINESS WE DON'T HAVE MONEY TO THROW AROUND AND YOU KNOW I'M DOING MY PART, NOT GETTING CALLS WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO THE POLICE ARE HERE TO PROTECT AND CHECK ON THINGS AND SINCE THEN WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY INCIDENTS. I REACHED OUT TO ADT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SOMETHING IS GOING ON

I AM GETTING CHARGED. >> I WANT TO COME INTO THE FIRST ALARM WAS 8/2 THEN 8/24 AND THEN AGAIN 10/29. IS THE ALARM IN

WORKING ORDER? >> YES, THE 10/29 WAS OVER ONE YEAR AGO SO OVER THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE BEEN GOOD. THE TWO FROM AUGUST 2024 SOMETHING WAS GOING ON IN THAT TIMEFRAME WHICH I DON'T KNOW, BUT I DID COMPLAIN TO ADT TO BE LIKE I AM NOT GETTING PHONE CALLS AND I HAVE SENT YOU GUYS MY CALL RECORDS AND I'M THE NUMBER ONE CALL SO AT THE TIME WHEN I CALLED THEY WERE LIKE YEAH, YOUR NUMBER IS THE NUMBER ONE PERSON THAT WE WOULD CALL SO IF YOU DON'T DISARM YOUR ALARM REMOTELY BECAUSE YOU WILL GET THE NOTIFICATIONS.

>> I UNDERSTAND. >> AND THEN ADT CALLS IF YOU DON'T ANSWER AND SAY DO YOU WANT US TO SEND SOMEONE OUT, THEN THEY WAIT FOR YOU TO LOOK AT THE PHONE. I NEVER GOT THE PHONE CALL AND I AM SHOWING YOU EVIDENCE .

>> THAT IS AN ISSUE BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR ALARM COMPANY. THE CITY HAS TO RESPOND IF AN ALARM IS GOING OFF. UNDERSTAND BUT THERE IS AN ISSUE YOU HANDLE WITH THE DIRECT VENDOR.

>> YEAH, BUT OKAY WE ARE A BUSINESS YOU ARE THE CITY, YOU GUYS LIKE I AM SHOWING YOU THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF ISSUE HERE. I THOUGHT ME PUTTING CONTACT INFORMATION FROM YOU GUYS YOU HAVE THE CALL YOU SENT AN OFFICIAL LETTER SAYING YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CALL, YOU SAID THE POLICE COULD CALL BUT THEY DON'T HAVE TO COME IN THEIR JOB IS TO GET OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. ON ONE OCCASION I TURNED THE ALARM OFF REMOTELY SO IT SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOT TO THE POINT TO GET TO THE POLICE AND THAT ONE I REALLY FEEL THAT WAS NOT EVEN ADT DID NOT NEED TO CALL BECAUSE I TURNED THE ALARM OFF.

>> THAT IS NOT THE CITY'S ISSUE THAT IS BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR VENDOR. I UNDERSTAND YOUR FRUSTRATION BUT THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE BEFORE THE CITY TODAY, THE ISSUE IS SOMETHING WENT WRONG, THE ALARM DID NOT GET TURNED OFF AND HAD TO GO MAKE THREE DIFFERENT APPEARANCES AT YOUR PROPERTY AND THERE IS COST FOR THAT. SO MY QUESTION TO STAFF IS DO WE HAVE THE EMAILS YOU ARE REFERENCING WHERE YOU HAVE INDICATED YOU RESPONDED TO STAFF WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD TO SUPPORT REQUEST FOR APPEAL? THAT'S WHAT I HAVE TO FOCUS ON TODAY.

>> THE ONLY EMAIL ON RECORD IS FROM NOVEMBER ON RECORD IS FROM

[00:55:05]

>> I HAVE EMAILS FROM 8/19/2024 AND THEN FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA ALARM-BILLING.COM EMAIL ME BACK ON 9/4/2024. I EMAILED AGAIN 10/3/2024, JASMINE RESPOND THE SAME EMAIL 10/16/2024. AND THEN 11/13 SHE JASMINE EMAIL ME BACK 11/25/2024. SO THERE'S QUITE A FEW EMAILS BACK AND FORTH AND THAT'S NOT EVEN TO SAY THE LETTER I TALKED TO YOU GUYS ABOUT WHERE THE ADDRESS IS WRONG ON THE PAPER THAT YOU PROVIDE FOR THE APPEALS IT'S PART OF IT TOO. I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MINE.

I WOULD FEEL GOOD IF WE COULD MEET IN THE MIDDLE. I PAY YOU SOMETHING ACKNOWLEDGING THAT WE NEED TO MAKE CORRECTIONS. IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND AT LEAST I COULD FEEL LIKE , WE CAN GO INTO THE DETAILS OF THE EMAILS BACK AND FORTH, I CAN FORWARD THEM BUT I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH A COMPROMISE TO SPEED UP AND HAVE SOMETHING. AND MY NEXT QUESTION , AM I CAUGHT UP FOR THIS YEAR? IT SAYS THAT I OWE 50 FOR THE ALARM PROGRAM OR WHATEVER AND I GO TO MY ACCOUNT AND I CANNOT SEE ANY 50 THAT'S DUE. I JUST SEE THE FINES OR WHATEVER.

>> HAVE YOU TAKEN THE FALSE ALARM CLASS?

>> NO. I DID NOT KNOW THERE WAS A CLASS.

>> I COULD SUPPORT I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN'T TELL IS WHAT WE RECEIVED OR DIDN'T FROM EMAILS SHE IS REFERENCING.

>> I CAN FORWARD THEM IF YOU WANT ME TO.

>> STAFF HAS BEEN PRETTY LENIENT WITH THE RESPONDENT THE TELEPHONE AND CAMERA REQUEST FORM IS REQUIRED TO BE SENT SEVEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE HEARING AND WE DO NOT RECEIVE SEVEN DAYS PRIOR. HOWEVER WITH CONSIDERATION WITH SINKS GIVING SOME LEEWAY WAS GIVEN. THE FORM REQUIRES THAT TELEPHONE HEARINGS ARE PROVIDED DUE TO A SERIOUS PERSONAL ISSUE OR RESIDING OUT-OF-STATE NONE OF THESE APPEAR TO APPLY BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT WAS PROVIDED SINCE SHE SAID SHE WAS OUT OF TOWN NOT KNOWING OUT-OF-STATE OR OUT-OF-TOWN OR IF THIS WAS AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT FACTORS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO SOME DIFFICULTY AND US RECEIVING THIS EVIDENCE SHE IS TALKING ABOUT WITH ADDITIONAL EMAILS THAT WE ARE NOT AWARE OF.

>> WHAT'S THE REASON FOR THE PHONE APPEARANCE TODAY ARE YOU

OUT-OF-STATE OR OUT-OF-TOWN? >> YES. SO, YES. YOU KNOW THEY HAVE GIVEN MY FATHER , IS SICK AND I WAS WITH MY SISTER AND MY FATHER SO I AM RETURNING BACK TO WORK LATE FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

>> YOU'RE PHYSICALLY NOT IN THE AREA TODAY?

>> CORRECT. >> I CANNOT BE THERE BY 9:00 ARE

YOU THIS MORNING. >> CAN YOU PUT UP THE

RECOMMENDATION? >> I THINK I PUT IT WAS INCONVENIENT , BUT AGAIN DEALING WITH PERSONAL MATTERS. IT IS THE HOLIDAYS AND WE WERE SPENDING EXTRA TIME WITH THE FAMILY.

>> THE BALANCE THAT IS DUE IS $700 AND THE RECOMMENDATION FOR THE DEPARTMENT IS THEY HAVE GIVEN YOU LENIENCY ON THIS. THE INVOICES ARE DELINQUENT, I HEAR YOU HAVE REPRESENTED YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE ALTHOUGH THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN SENT WITH THE REQUEST FOR TELEPHONIC HEARING SO WE HAVE

EVIDENCE BEFORE US. >> YOU DID NOT SAY THAT IF THERE IS SOMEWHERE I CAN SEND THIS STUFF, NOW WE ARE WAITING UP UNTIL THE LAST FEW DAYS BEFORE HAND. YOU HAVE TO DO THE WEEK BEFORE BUT IT IS THANKSGIVING, I CAN EMAIL -- FORWARD THE EMAILS TO YOU NOW AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT I AM SAYING IS TRUE.

>> WHAT IS REQUESTED WHEN THEY APPEAR BY PHONE FIRST ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE? I AM ASKING THE DEPARTMENT.

>> ON THE FORM THE FORM MUST BE SUBMITTED SEVEN CALENDAR DAYS PRIOR TO THE HEARING ALL FIELDS MUST BE COMPLETED REQUEST TO BE PROCESSED, REQUESTING PARTY MUST SUBMIT A COPY OF STATE ISSUED IDENTIFICATION. FURTHER STATES WE UNDERSTAND IF THE REQUEST IS

[01:00:02]

HEARING. >> THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE EMAIL.

>> YOU WOULD EMAIL BACK TO THE PERSON WHO EMAILED YOU THE FORM WHICH I EMAILED YOU THE FORM MONDAY AFTERNOON.

>> AGAIN I AM ON VACATION, I UNDERSTAND THIS IS IMPORTANT AND I MADE TIME FOR THIS THE POINT IS YOU HAVE THE ADDRESS ON THE FORM , YOU'RE AVOIDING THE FACT ON YOUR FORM IT SAYS YOU HAVE ORLANDO AND ATLANTA I SENT PHYSICAL MAIL I HAVE EMAILED YOU

GUYS. I WILL EMAIL THIS MOMENT. >> THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH WHAT WAS REQUESTED. THE DEPARTMENT HAS CLEARLY GIVEN YOU LENIENCY ALLOWING YOU TO APPEAR BY PHONE PROVIDED YOU WITH PHONE

APPEARANCE FORM. >> IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ AND RESPOND WITH WHAT YOU WANT US TO CONSIDER AS WAS READ INTO THE RECORD. IT IS NOT ANYONE'S FAULT YOU DID NOT READ AND SUBMIT INFORMATION TIMELY SO WE COULD REVIEW WHAT YOU ARE

REFERENCING. >> ARE THE EMAILS NOT FROM YOUR DEPARTMENT? TO HAVE ONE EMAIL GOES TO WHAT I AM SAYING.ALL THE EMAILS COME FROM THE FALSE ALARM FORT PIERCE FLORIDA ALARM BILLING YET YOU DON'T HAVE RECORDS WHICH GOES WITH WHAT I'M SAYING. YOU HAVE NOT RESPONDED BACK.

>> YOU REQUESTED THE APPEAL WE HAVE RESPONDED, SET FOR HEARING TODAY YOU RESPONDED TELEPHONIC WE GIVE YOU TIME WITH ADDITIONAL TIME TO RESPOND WITH THE FORM AND TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE HOLIDAY AND IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOW THEM. RESPOND TO THE PERSON WHO SENT THE FORM WITH YOUR EVIDENCE THAT WAS READ INTO THE RECORD ON THE TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE FORM IT DIRECTS YOU WITH WHAT TO DO.

>> I AM LOOKING AT MY NOTICE. I DON'T RECALL THAT.

>> I ASKED THEM TO READ INTO THE RECORD FOR EVERYONE'S PREFERENCE.

>> MINE SAYS , I AM LOOKING AT A NOTICE THAT WAS GIVEN OCTOBER 27

THAT WAS GIVEN OCTOBER 27, 2025. >> THERE REFERENCING THE TELEPHONIC FORM YOU WERE SENT OVER.

>> TO PREPARE FOR THE HEARING WHEN REQUESTING A TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE. INDICATING YOU WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

UNFORTUNATELY YOU DID NOT SUBMIT THE EVIDENCE YOU HAVE BEEN REFERENCING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORM SO THAT'S NOT BEFORE US TO CONSIDER.

>> OKAY SO I MEAN I GUESS THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY ON YOUR BEHALF AND YOU ARE TELLING IT IS.

>> THAT'S NOT WHAT WE ARE SAYING AT ALL, THE RECORD REFLECTS WHAT WE HAVE SAID YOU REQUESTED A TELEPHONIC HEARING, WE ACQUIESCE TO THE REQUEST , I ASKED THE REASON FOR THE TELEPHONIC HEARING AND I ASK YOU RESPOND TO THE TELEPHONIC HEARING FORM, WE HAVE READ INTO THE RECORD IN THE REFERENCE EVIDENCE YOU SHOULD HAVE SUBMITTED IN RESPONSE WITH THE FORM BUT HAVE NOT DONE THAT SO I CANNOT CONSIDER EVIDENCE NOT

BEFORE ME. >> CAN I SEND IT NOW OR CAN WE POSTPONE ARE YOU WILL TELL ME THAT I OWE THE MONEY REGARDLESS?

>> AT THIS POINT UNLESS YOU HAVE ANYTHING ADDITIONAL TO PRESENT THE HEARING IS TODAY BASED ON WHAT YOU HAVE PRESENTED. WE DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE AND COMPLIANCE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

REQUESTED. >> I THINK FROM A HUMAN STANDPOINT YOU KNOW YOU ARE HEARING WHAT I AM SAYING AND FOR YOU TO ADJUST, I'M OBVIOUSLY TELLING YOU I WAS OUT OF TOWN DEALING WITH STUFF AND I DID NOT EMAIL SOMETHING ON MONDAY I HAVE IT HERE I'M GETTING OVER TO YOU AT THIS MOMENT THIS IS A HEARING WHERE I AM SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO PRESENT STUFF HERE YOU GO.

>> YES AND YOU WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS TO BE PREPARED AND WHAT WE WOULD NEED FOR TELEPHONIC APPEARANCE AND YOU

DID NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS. >> WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? SORRY TO BE RUDE BUT I AM A GOOD CITIZEN, I TRY TO DO THE RIGHT THING, THIS DEPARTMENT , THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIVE, I HAVE SENT THE MAIL I HAVE BEEN REJECTED AND IGNORED AND NOW I DID NOT

[01:05:04]

RESPOND. >> I WOULD LIKE THE RECORD TO REFLECT STAFF HAS FOLLOWED THEIR PROCESS TODAY AND HAS GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR REQUEST.

>> I WOULD SAY THANK YOU FOR THAT FOR THE PHONE HEARING FOR ALLOWING ME TO DO IT YOU GUYS ACKNOWLEDGE IT WAS THANKSGIVING WITH THE 10 DAYS , BUT I DID JUST EMAIL TO YOU GUYS IF YOU DON'T MIND TAKING A QUICK PEAK AND AGAIN THANK YOU FOR ACCOMMODATIONS YOU HAVE MADE. I DON'T THINK IT WILL TAKE LONG TO LOOK AT THOSE ATTACHMENTS AND IF THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO OFFER AND YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING, THEN.

>> I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE EMAIL SITTING HERE IN THE DAIS BEFORE YOU TODAY , I DON'T HAVE ACCESS. I CAN TELL YOU THAT. I WILL LET THE CITY ATTORNEY RESPOND.

>> FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S PERSPECTIVE OUR CONCERN IS, LET'S SAY FOR ARGUMENTS SAKE YOU MADE THE APPEAL TO THE CITY NOT TO CRY WOLF OR THIRD-PARTY VENDOR TIMELY STILL THE ALARMS ARE UNDER THE CODE, EXCESSIVE ALARMS SO THE DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING $700 BE PAID AS IT IS A VIOLATION PER CITY CODE.

>> OKAY, SO IT IS JUST $700 BASICALLY?

>> ANY ADDITIONAL CORRESPONDENCE OR ANYTHING YOU WISH TO PRESENT

AT THIS TIME? >> I DID, YOU KNOW LIKE I SAID IN PERSON DO YOU WANT ME TO BRING IT TO YOU, WHAT TIME YOU

GUYS END TODAY? >> YOUR HEARING IS NOW, IT HAS BEEN NOTICED AND IT IS OCCURRING.

>> I WAS TOLD CHRISTINE HAS ACCESS TO THE EMAIL AND SORRY CATHERINE. I JUST SENT THE EMAIL AND IF YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO CONSIDER IT THEN AGAIN OBVIOUSLY.

>> NOT THAT WE DON'T WANT TO CONSIDER ANYTHING. YOU HAVE NOT FOLLOWED REQUIREMENTS TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE.

>> I UNDERSTAND. YOU HAVE YOUR EMAIL THERE WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO CHECK IT OUT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT AND THAT WOULD BE THE HUMAN THING TO DO BUT IF THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU GUYS DO THEN THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU DO. I PRESENTED AND FORWARDED THE EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE. OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS HAVE ACCESS TO FORT PIERCE FLORIDA ALARM BILLING THAT IS YOUR DEPARTMENT AND THOSE EMAILS ARE IN THE RECORD FOR EVERYTHING I LISTED SO YOU GUYS DID EVEN WITHOUT ME PROVIDING IT, YOU GUYS HAVE THE FORT PIERCE FLORIDA AT ALARMS EMAIL , THEN YOU HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYTHING I AM SAYING. BECAUSE EMAILS DON'T GO AWAY AND ALL THE EMAILS ON THOSE VARIOUS DATES I HAVE THE EMAIL

CORRESPONDENCE FROM . >> THAT MAY BE THE CASE BUT THE ONUS IS ON YOU AS THEY RESPONDED TO SUBMIT EVIDENCE YOU WISH US TO CONSIDER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TELEPHONIC HEARING REQUEST FORM OR TO BRING IT WITH YOU, NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS HAVE

HAPPENED. >> YEAH, AGAIN I CAN GET RESCHEDULED AND BRING IT TO YOU OR BRING IT TO YOU AND PROBABLY 2 1/2 HOURS OR YOU CAN OPEN THE EMAIL.

>> I DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE EMAIL SITTING HERE. I WILL ASK THE DEPARTMENT WHAT THEY MAY HAVE RECEIVED IF YOU SENT

ANYTHING. >> I HAVE REVIEWED THE EMAIL AND IT CONFIRMS WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY PRESENTED , THE FIRST EMAIL SENT WAS NOVEMBER 13, 2014 THE EMAILS JUST SENT DO NOT SHOW ANY

HISTORY WITH THE EMAIL. >> I WILL SEND THE ADDITIONAL ONES FROM 8/14 BECAUSE I HAVE THEM.

>> TO CLARIFY THE FORT PIERCE FLORIDA AT ALARM-BILLING EMAIL ADDRESS IS THE THIRD-PARTY VENDOR CRY WOLF, NOBODY IS HERE AT THE CITY WITH ACCESS TO THE EMAIL, THOSE ARE HANDLED BY THE

THIRD-PARTY VENDOR. >> THOSE ARE EMAILS HANDLED BY A THIRD-PARTY VENDOR NOT SOMETHING THAT GOES TO ANYONE AT THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE WHICH IS WHO IS HEARING THE HEARING TODAY.

>> OKAY. I GUESS THAT IS MISLEADING BECAUSE IT SAYS FORT PIERCE IN THE NAME. I THINK IT IS MORE IMPORTANT FOR ME TO FIND

THIS AND GET IT OVER TO YOUR. >> AT THIS TIME THE CITY

[01:10:04]

ACCOUNT, FOR $700. >> SENT TO COLLECTIONS.

>> THAT IS RIGHT, IT IS IN COLLECTIONS AT THIS POINT AND TIME SO THE REQUEST IS THAT I DENY THE APPEAL FOR REASONS STATED WHAT WE HAVE BEEN THROUGH IN THIS HEARING TODAY.

>> NOT THAT YOU GUYS CARE BUT THIS IS ONE FROM THE AUGUST IT

DATES. >> NO ONE HAS SAID WE DON'T CARE FOR THE RECORD. THOSE ARE WORDS YOU ARE PUTTING INTO THE RECORD

THAT NOBODY HAS SAID HERE. >> SO THE THIRD-PARTY COMPANY FOR THE RECORD , THEY HAVE POOR CORRESPONDENCE AND THE USER EXPERIENCE IS NOT GOOD, THEY DO NOT RECEIVE THE ACTUAL PAPER THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT THAT SEND THE EMAIL I JUST SENT THE EMAIL WHERE I GOT THE LETTER THAT SHOWS HOW IT GOT RETURNED TO ME SO LET ME SHOW THIS ONE. IT IS A PICTURE OF THE MAIL THAT I SENT WITH RETURN TO SENDER ON THAT THE YELLOW RETURN TO SENDER SO THE ORLANDO ADDRESS IS NOT CORRECT? THAT YOU HAVE AND THERE IS THE ATLANTA ADDRESS AT THE TOP OF THE ALARM PERMIT THING MAYBE THAT'S RELATED TO THE APPLICATION.

>> I DON'T KNOW, THAT EVIDENCE WAS NOT SUBMITTED AND IT IS NOT BE FOR ME TO CONSIDER TODAY. AT THE TIMELY REQUEST FOR YOUR

TELEPHONIC HEARING APPEARANCE. >> IF YOU GUYS CAN SEND ME. THE COMPANY HANDLING THIS THEIR NONRESPONSIVE AND THE CHOSEN THE EMAILS SOMETIMES IT TAKES A MONTH TO GET BACK TO YOUR. SO IF THEY DON'T HAVE IT IN THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE WEBSITE ARE NOT WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO AND THEY ASK YOU TO DO IT AGAIN SO YOU KNOW AGAIN THAT IS FRUSTRATING, I'M SORRY I'M NOT IN COURT THAT'S NOT MY JOB I DID NOT KNOW WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DISCUSS IT. THIS WHOLE PROCESS IT SUCKS, $700 IS A LOT OF MONEY. POLICE ARE COMING OUT TO DO THE JOB AND I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT EVERYONE'S TIME BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'M TRYING TO

DO THE RIGHT THING AND $700 . >> THE BALANCE IS OWED AND IT IS IN COLLECTIONS BY THE THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATOR. SO IT'S GOING TO IMPACT SOMEBODY'S CREDIT. THIS IS

IMPORTANT YOU RESOLVE. >> I WILL, I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD MEET ME HALFWAY OR SOMETHING AND I WOULD PAY IT, I FIGURE IT WOULD NOT BE ZERO BUT I THOUGHT WE COULD COME TO AGREEMENT. AND MEET IN THE MIDDLE.

>> IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER TO PRESENT I'M GOING TO MAKE MY RECOMMENDATION AND YOU WILL HEAR WHAT I AM GOING TO

RECOMMEND. >> YEAH GO AHEAD.

>> CAN YOU TAKE THIS THING DOWN SO I CAN SEE? I'M GOING TO FIND THE AFOREMENTIONED INVOICES ARE DELINQUENT AND BEEN SENT TO COLLECTION BY THIRD-PARTY ADMINISTRATOR WITH THE APPEAL NOT RECEIVED 14 CALENDAR DAYS BY THE CITY PURSUANT TO CITY ORDINANCE 1467 C DENY REQUEST FOR APPEAL TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT BE PAID WITHIN 30 DAYS ALTHOUGH I WILL REDUCE FROM 700 TO 500 C WILL GET $200 REDUCTION. REQUIRE YOU ATTEND THE COURSE ON FALSE ALARMS AND STAFF WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THAT INFORMATION AND AS YOU COMPLETE THE COURSE WITHIN THE NEXT 60 DAYS .

>> OKAY IS THAT ONLINE OR IN PERSON?

>> I BELIEVE ONLINE AND THEY WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE COURSE INFORMATION. WHO WILL BE THE PERSON TO PROVIDE THAT?

>> I WILL GO AHEAD AND EMAIL THAT TO HER, THE ALARM USER AWARENESS CLASS. I WILL EMAIL THAT.

[01:15:06]

>> $500 BALANCE THAT IS DUE REDUCED FROM 700 AND YOU WILL COMPLETE THE FALSE ALARM AWARENESS COURSE WHICH THE DEPARTMENT WILL PROVIDE INFORMATION HOW TO ACCESS AND COMPLETE WITHIN 60 DAYS OF THE DATE OF THE ORDER AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE TO THE DEPARTMENT AND HOPEFULLY THIS WILL NOT CONTINUE

FOR YOU ANY FURTHER. >> I APPRECIATE IT. IF I GO ONLINE TO MY ACCOUNT AND PAY IS ONE 400 INVOICE AND ONE, 100 IF I PAY ONLINE ONE IS 200 WILL THAT WORK? I WANT TO TAKE CARE

OF IT RIGHT NOW. >> YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT TO GET THE ORDER BECAUSE THE STAFF WILL HAVE TO DO SOME THINGS SO YOU CAN REMIT THE REDUCED PAYMENT AND IT WILL PAY IT OFF AND HAD TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE BY COMPLETING THE COURSE.

>> OKAY SO DON'T PAY THE 500 NOW? WAIT FOR A LETTER OR A

EMAIL? >> STAFF WILL CONTACT YOU AFTER THE HEARING TO GO OVER THE SPECIFICS OF ALL OF THIS SO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO TO BE IN COMPLIANCE.

>> OKAY, I APPRECIATE IT. AND HAVE A GOOD REST OF YOUR WEEK.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU NEED FROM ME? >> NO MA'AM, THANK YOU.

>> 30 DAYS TO APPEAL THE ORDER AFTER TODAY.

>> TO APPEAL THE ORDER WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT WE CAME TO

CONCLUSION $500 AND THE CLASS? >> THE ORDER ENTERED TODAY, THE

TERMS OF THE ORDER. >> OKAY, THANK YOU.

[2. Case# FAA2025-3 Investigating Officer: Shaun Coss Violation Location: 434 Means Ct Alarm Account: 103269]

>> GOING TO THE NEXT ONE THE GENTLEMAN SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ANSWER THE CALL. THIS IS ANOTHER ALARM CASE FAA- 2025-3. 434 MEANS 434 MEANS COURT.

>> HELLO GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING CALLING LIVE FROM THE COMMISSIONER CHAMBERS COMMISSION MAGISTRATE HEARING I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SWEAR YOU IN, THE CITY WILL PRESENT THEIR CASE AND YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK AFTERWARDS, PLEASE RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE RECORD.

>> KEVIN BAKER. >> SWEAR OR FROM THE TESTIMONY YOU ARE ABOUT TO GIVE WILL BE THE TRUTH?

>> YES. >> THANK YOU , THE CITY WILL

PROCEED. >> GOOD MORNING THIS IS THE INTERIM COMMUNITY RESPONSE DIRECTOR. CASE NUMBER FAA 2025-3 ON 434 ON 434 MEANS COURT WITH THREE ALARMS ON THE APPEAL.

ALARMS WERE MAY 31, 2025 6:20 A.M., JULY 12, 2025 8:59 A.M.

AND SEPTEMBER 22, 2025 AT 11:36 P.M. THE RESPONDENT HAS SUBMITTED SOME EVIDENCE VIA EMAIL IN THE FORM OF STILL SHOTS FROM AN XFINITY HIS XFINITY ACCOUNT I WILL ALLOW HIM TO EXPLAIN FURTHER. STAFF WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT THE ALARM HISTORY RECORD TO BE SUBMITTED AS STAFF EXHIBIT.

>> SORRY I DID NOT HEAR YOUR. THE ALARM HISTORY?

>> STAFF IS PRESENTING THE ALARM HISTORY REPORT FROM SIMPLY SAFE AND CRY WOLF AS STAFF EXHIBIT EXHIBIT 1.

>> OKAY. >> THIS WAS SENT PREVIOUSLY SHOWING THE ALARMS, SHOWING THEY ARE FALSE ALARMS. THE TIME OF THE ALARM AND THE RESPONSE AND APPLICABLE CHARGES. MR. BAKER YOU SUBMITTED SOME EVIDENCE DO YOU WANT TO DESCRIBE THE

[01:20:02]

EVIDENCE OR SUBMIT? >> THE INCIDENT I SUBMITTED TWO THE COURT BE AWARE THE PROPERTY BELONGS TO MY MOTHER, MY MOTHER IS A RESIDENT THAT LIVES IN FORT PIERCE 12 YEARS AND SHE JUST GOT HER HOUSE , SHE WAS LIVING THERE AND SHE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EMERGENCY SURGERY ON HER SPINE, DURING THE PROCESS OF THE SURGERY, THREE DAYS AFTER SHE ENDED UP WITH TWO MAJOR CARDIAC ARRESTS, ONE, SIX MINUTES AND THE OTHER FOUR MINUTES. DUE TO THIS SITUATION IT LEFT HER WITH BRAIN DAMAGE AND DEPRIVED OF OXYGEN TO HER BRAIN. MY MOTHER IS CURRENTLY NOT LIVING THERE AT THE MOMENT , SHE HAS TO GO SHE IS AT A FACILITY. I BROUGHT HER A LITTLE CLOSER TO ME I RESIDE IN FORT LAUDERDALE. THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY I GOT THE MAIL FROM YOU GUYS VERY LATE AND MADE A QUICK RESPONSE. VERY VERY RECEPTIVE AND I WANT TO THANK HER FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE TO SEND THE EMAILS WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT IS A CHALLENGING TIME FOR US AND I HAVE NOT HAD THE CHANCE TO SET UP THE CAMERA. FOR PROTECTION THE CAMERA AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM TO PROTECT MY MOTHER'S HOUSE. WE HAVE OBSERVED , IF YOU LOOK AT THE CAMERA YOU CAN SEE THE CAMERAS HAVE BEEN DAMAGED, WE TAKE A STICK AND BREAK IT SO AT THE MOMENT ALL THE CAMERAS AROUND THE HOUSE ARE BROKEN AND I'M HOPING TO GET THEM FIXED. THAT IS THE VIDEO YOU CAN SEE SOMEONE TRIES TO RIP THE CAMERA , THE CAMERAS ARE RIPPED APART RIGHT NOW. MY, WHEN THE COPS COME , WHEN THE COPS WENT TO THE HOUSE, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG, BUT WE GO, WE LOOK AND THE CAMERAS ARE BROKEN. THE CAMERAS ARE BROKEN. SO, THAT IS PART OF IT I AM NOT THERE PHYSICALLY. I RESIDE IN FORT LAUDERDALE, CURRENTLY I'M IN THE FLORIDA KEYS SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY YOU'RE CALLING ME NOT GETTING GOOD RECEPTION. THAT IS THE MAIN REASON $150 THAT IS THE COST AND HAVE SO MUCH OTHER THINGS I HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW FOR MY MOTHER BECAUSE SHE WENT FROM BEING A NORMAL PERSON WHO GETS UP AND WORKS SHE WORKS SHE HAS BEEN WITH THE COMPANY , SHE MOVED WITH THEM FROM FORT LAUDERDALE , TO FORT PIERCE. SO THIS IS MAJOR , YOU KNOW I DON'T WANT TO BRING MY FRUSTRATION. IT IS A LOT FOR ONE PERSON TO DEAL WITH THIS. SO THAT'S IT.

>> IS THE PROPERTY RENTED, THERE ARE TENANTS OCCUPYING?

>> THE PROPERTY AT THIS MOMENT IS NOT PRINTED. I HAVE A 17-YEAR-OLD BROTHER WHICH HE IS CURRENTLY WITH MY OTHER BROTHER ONE BLOCK AWAY A COUPLE BLOCKS AWAY SO HE IS LIVING WITH MY OTHER BROTHER.

>> SO THE VIDEO THAT YOU SENT US LOOK LIKE SOMEBODY WAS TRYING TO KNOCK OUT THE CAMERA? WHO IS DOING THAT? THE NEIGHBOR

CHILDREN OR SOMETHING? >> I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS NEIGHBOR CHILDREN I DON'T LIVE THERE.

>> BUT IT IS YOUR PROPERTY SO YOU ARE CHARGED WITH KEEPING THE PROPERTY IN COMPLIANCE , ULTIMATELY THAT IS AN ISSUE.

>> TO BE CLEAR I BELIEVE THIS IS HIS MOTHER'S PROPERTY, BUT HIS NAME IS ATTACHED TO THE SECURITY SYSTEM.

>> WHERE IT SAYS ONLY THAT IS WHAT CONFUSED ME.

>> YOUR MOTHER IS THE OWNER OF THE RESIDENCE NOT YOU?

>> MY MOTHER IS THE OWNER OF THE RESIDENCE. MY MOTHER HAS MASSIVE BRAIN DAMAGE SO I HAVE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROPERTY UP THERE RIGHT NOW SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY I WENT AHEAD AND PUT THE ALARM AND A CAMERA TO SECURE THE PROPERTY.

[01:25:05]

>> IT DOES NOT APPEAR IT IS WORKING IT DOES NOT APPEAR IT IS WORKING BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN ALARMS IN MAY, JULY, SEPTEMBER AND AGAIN THE FOURTH ONE ON 10/1. UNFORTUNATELY I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE MAKING EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF YOUR MOTHER AS THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY BUT IT'S NOT WORKING, THE DEPARTMENT HAS TO SEND THE POLICE TO RESPOND TO THE ALARMS AND THERE IS A COST

TO THAT. >> MAY I ASK A QUESTION

>> THE EVIDENCE YOU PROVIDED OF SOMEBODY LOOKS LIKE YOUNG MEN TRYING TO POKE THE CAMERA DO YOU KNOW WHAT DATE THE VIDEO WAS

TAKEN >> THAT DATE, I WOULD HAVE TO GO AND LOOK AT THE CAMERA THE XFINITY, THE ROTATION THAT'S THE PLAN I HAVE 24 ROTATION. SO, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TEXT MESSAGE TO SEE WHAT TIME I SENT IT.

>> DO YOU KNOW IF IT WAS SEPTEMBER OR JULY OR MAY, THE VIDEO THAT WE ARE SEEING? DO YOU RECALL WHEN YOU GOT THIS?

>> WHAT I RECALL AND THE FIRST VIDEO, WHEN THE FIRST VIDEO WAS BEING , THE FIRST VIDEO OF THE BACK DOOR WHEN THAT CAMERA WHEN THE CAMERA WAS RIPPED OUT THAT WAS SOMETIME IN MAY , IN MAY. WE DID NOT IT WAS 24 HOURS THE SECOND VIDEO THE POLICE CAME THE NIGHT BEFORE AND I CALLED, THE NEXT MORNING WE OBSERVED THAT .

>> MR. BAKER CAN YOU HEAR US? >> YES MA'AM I AM HERE.

>> SORRY, YOU CUT OUT WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT THE SECOND

VIDEO? >> THE SECOND VIDEO WHEN IT HAPPENED THE NEXT MORNING BECAUSE I AM TAKING CARE OF MY MOM GOING TO THE REHAB AND HELPING HER TRYING TO GET HER BACK TO WALKING TO BE ABLE TO WALK AND TALK SO THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP THE POLICE CAME AND HE SAID TO ME AT THE NIGHT 2:00 IN THE MORNING SOMETIME THAT THERE IS NO ONE, THERE IS NO ONE AT THE HOUSE. I SAID WHY WOULD THE ALARM BE GOING OFF? SO WHEN I LOOKED THE NEXT DAY I SAW THE VIDEO AND I SAVED THE VIDEO AND I WAS ABLE COME I BELIEVE I SENT IT.

>> I'M SORRY, I THINK YOU BROKE UP AGAIN YOU SENT THE SECOND

VIDEO TO LAW ENFORCEMENT? >> I SENT IT TO LAW ENFORCEMENT

. >> DO YOU REMEMBER WHICH AGENCY?

>> ONE SECOND, LET ME LOOK AND SEE IF I CAN FIND THE NUMBER, I DID ASK TO SPEAK TO THE POLICE.

>> MY PHONE HAD BEEN COMPROMISED ALSO SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY THE FREQUENCY IS NOT GOOD. AND THE ME SEE IF I CAN FIND THE NUMBER.

>> HELLO MA'AM? THE PHONE NUMBER THAT I SENT . ONE SECOND.

>> WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHICH AGENCY IT WAS BASED ON THE PHONE NUMBER, CURIOUS WAS AT ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FORT PIERCE POLICE, DO YOU KNOW WHICH AGENCY YOU CONTACTED

REGARDING SENDING THIS VIDEO? >> THE CITY THAT CAME IN TO CHECK THE PROPERTY FOR THAT MORNING I DID ASK THEM TO LET ME SPEAK TO THE POLICE THAT WENT. AND I WAS ABLE TO SEND THE NUMBER LET ME SEE THE DATE I HAVE FOR THE TEXT MESSAGE. TEXT

[01:30:03]

>> THAT IS REGARDING THE ALARM THAT WENT OFF MORE RECENTLY LAST

MONTH? >> FOR THE ALARM, YES.

>> NOT FOR MAY, JULY OR SEPTEMBER , THE ALARMS HERE FOR

THE APPEAL TODAY. >> FOR THE ALARM IN MAY I DID NOT SEND ANY PICTURES I DID NOT SEND ANY PICTURES OR VIDEO.

>> IT WAS THE FIRST, THE CYCLE I HAVE WITH XFINITY IS 24 HOURS, DURING THAT TIME MY MOM HAD THE INCIDENT SO I AM RUNNING AND

FIXING DOING A LOT OF STUFF. >> JUST SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE. SO I CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS KNOCKING OUT THE ALARM IS THE KIDS YANKING IT DOWN CORRECT? OR IS THAT SETTING THE ALARM OFF BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING AFTER YOUR CAMERA? I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE WILL BE ABLE TO DO BECAUSE IT DOES NOT APPEAR THE ALARM IS IN WORKING ORDER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THE ALARM TO GO OFF IN MAY, JULY OR SEPTEMBER. I DON'T THINK HE HAS PRESENTED EVIDENCE ANYBODY TAMPERED WITH THE ALARM OR TOUCHED THE HOUSE ON THOSE DATES, THE VIDEOS PROVIDED WERE FROM DIFFERENT DATES.

>> THE VIDEOS COME I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU I AM NOT THERE SO SOMEONE COMES BY THE DOOR AND PULLS THE DOOR AND THE ALARM GOES OFF AND THEY RUN AWAY I DON'T KNOW THAT.

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE THE ALARM WENT OFF AND THE ALARM WENT OFF TO SECURE MY MOTHER'S HOUSE I NEED SOME ATTENTION BECAUSE I CANNOT SEE THE ALARM BUT I AM PRESENTING TO YOU GUYS THERE IS SOMEONE THERE THAT VANDALIZED THE CAMERAS

>> THE VIDEO SUBMITTED WAS FROM XFINITY VIDEO WAS NOT TIMESTAMP YOUR DATE STAMPED SO WE CANNOT CORRELATE THAT TO THE DATES OF THE FALSE ALARMS, THE ALARM SYSTEM IS THROUGH SIMPLY SAFE THESE ARE TWO INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS.

>> IT IS SEPARATE FROM THE CAMERA SYSTEM.

>> WE CANNOT DEMONSTRATE THAT WHEN THE CAMERA WAS TAMPERED

WITH THAT TRIGGERED ANY ALARMS. >> THE CAMERA SYSTEM IS SEPARATE FROM YOUR ALARM SYSTEM SO THE EVIDENCE YOU PRESENTED WITH THE KIDS TAMPERING WITH THE CAMERA SYSTEM CANNOT BE USED CANNOT BE USED TO SUPPORT THE CAMERA TAMPERING TRIGGERED THE ALARMS, THE ISSUE IS YOU HAVE A OPEN PROBLEM TO RESOLVE WHILE YOUR ALARM IS GOING OFF AND WAS TRIGGERING THAT AND UNFORTUNATELY AT THIS TIME YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE A $50 SERVICE FEE BEING UNREGISTERED WITH THE FALSE ALARM REDUCTION PROGRAM WAIVED IF YOU REGISTERED WITHIN 15 DAYS OF RECEIVIN THE INVOICE FOR THE CITY ORDINANCE. AND YOU DID NOT DO THAT, THE OTHER ISSUE IS YOU HAD OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE SECOND FALSE ALARM FEE WAIVED IF YOU COMPLETED THE ALARM USER AWARENESS CLASS WITHIN 60 DAYS A CITY ORDINANCE AND EVIDENCE BEFORE ME SUPPORTS YOU DID NOT DO THAT SO AT THIS POINT AND TIME YOU WERE PROVIDED 14 CALENDAR DAYS TO APPEAL THE INVOICES FOR THE CITY ORDINANCE AND YOU HAVE NOT DONE THAT AS WELL, I HAVE HEARD YOUR TESTIMONY WITH THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE THAT PROBABLY PREVENTED YOU FROM DOING THESE THINGS BUT ULTIMATELY YOU YOU HAVE TO HIRE SOMEONE TO MANAGE THIS SO YOUR ALARM DOES NOT KEEP GOING OFF , YOU MAY NEED TO HIRE A PROPERTY MANAGER IF YOU CANNOT DO THAT FOR YOUR MOTHER AS YOU TAKE CARE OF HER AND MATTERS IN YOUR OWN LIFE. ANY OTHER EVIDENCE YOU WISH TO PRESENT AT THIS TIME?

>> BASED ON THE SITUATION , I MEAN I DID NOT KNOW IT IS 14 DAYS AND I COULD GET IT WAIVED. I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT. I DID

NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT. >> SORRY ABOUT THAT, YOU SENT

THE PAPERWORK. >> BASED ON THE SITUATION YOU COULD GIVE ME A BREAK THIS TIME? I WAS COMPLETELY IGNORANT FOR

THE SITUATION. >> STAFF CANNOT RECOMMEND THAT , THE TIME FRAMES ARE PROVIDED IN ORDINANCE WITH SET TIME FRAMES

THERE IS NOT LEEWAY TO VARY. >> AT THIS TIME I'M GOING TO DENY THE APPEAL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MADE TIMELY AND I WILL FIND

[01:35:02]

>> $300 NOT $150? >> $200 BALANCE DUE , YOUR THREE FALSE ALARM SIGNALS BEFORE US TODAY, ONE $50, THE SECOND FROM 7/12/25 AT $100 AND THE THIRD 9/22 OF 25 $150 A TOTAL OF $300 AT THIS TIME FOR THE THREE EXCESSIVE FALSE ALARM SIGNALS

BEFORE US TODAY. >> IS THERE ANY WAY THE FIRST ONE THAT 14 DAYS I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT, IS THERE ANYWAY YOU

COULD WAVE THAT ONE? >> AT THIS TIME I DID ASK STAFF AND THEY CONFIRMED THEY PROPERLY NOTICED YOU OF THESE THINGS WITH

THE PROPERTY OWNER. >> IT WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU. I FOUND THE NOTICE ON THE DOOR BECAUSE I LIVE IN FORT LAUDERDALE AND OUT OF EIGHT MONTHS I JUST STOPPED WORKING.

>> THE PROPERTY ADDRESS IS WHERE THE NOTICE GOES UNLESS THAT IS UPDATED. IF YOU OR THE OWNER ARE IN A DIFFERENT LOCATION IT IS ON THE OWNER TO UPDATE THE ADDRESS SO THE NOTICES GO TO THE ADDRESS YOU ARE AT. IF YOU ARE NOT AT THE PROPERTY YOU NEED TO GO AHEAD AND UPDATE WITH THE CITY OF FORT PIERCE AND THEY CAN TAL1 TO YOU ABOUT THE PROCESS SO YOU GET FUTURE NOTICES TIMELY, BUT YOU WERE NOTICED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CODE AND AT THIS TIME I HAVE ISSUED AN ORDER AND IF YOU WANT TO APPEAL YOU WILL HAVE 30 DAYS TO APPEAL PURSUANT TO THE LANGUAGE ON THE ORDER . THERE IS A BALANCE DUE ON THE PROPERTY $300 AND I HAVE ENTERED MY ORDER

AT THIS TIME. >> OKAY. I HAVE SO MUCH THINGS TO DEAL WITH YOU KNOW. IF YOU COULD JUST GIVE ME A BREAK.

>> I HAVE ENTERED THE ORDER AT THIS POINT SO THE BALANCE DUE IS $200, YOU WILL RECEIVE A COPY WITH THE PROCESS TO MAKE THE PAYMENT AND CERTAINLY YOU CAN CONTACT THE DEPARTMENT TO SEE ABOUT ANY OPTIONS YOU HAVE FOR PAYMENT.

>> OKAY. ALL RIGHT. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU. >> BYE.

>> OKAY. >> TO CLARIFY, THERE IS THE END OF THE APPEALS SPECIAL MAGISTRATE DECISION SUBJECT TO REVIEW CIRCUIT COURT BY PROCEEDINGS .

>> PERFECT. >> WE NEED TO MAKE SURE IT SAYS THAT IN THE ORDER FOR THE CASES, THAT LANGUAGE, THAT WILL BE SPECIFIC JUST FOR THE FALSE ALARMS.

>> PERFECT, THANK YOU APPRECIATE THAT.

>> ALL RIGHT. CANNOT BE THE APPEAL BACK TO US. RETURNING TO
