FOR ME? >> MY OFFICE SLIGHT ON THAT OFFICE, RIGHT ON MELODY LANE, AND YOU CAN SEE IN THIS PICTURE, YOU CAN SEE THE SKY SO IF YOU LOOK OVER MY CAR.

I WAS READY TO LEAVE THE OFFICE. I'M NOT ARGUING THE FACT THAT I WAS THERE FOR TWO HOURS BUT THE SKY OPENS UP.

I GOT A CALL FROM MY HUSBAND TELLING ME DON'T COME HOME NOW, THE SKY -- IT'S GOING CRAZY WITH THE THUNDER AND THE LIGHTNING AND THE RAIN WAS STARTING AND THE PICTURES THAT I SUBMITTED SHOW THE FLOODING ON MELODY LANE AND ON THE FORWARD END OF ATLANTIC AVENUE. AND I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE DURING THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

I WAS WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS.

AND THEN I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER WINTER OUT AND

THERE WAS THE TICKET ON MY CAR. >> AND MR. SO HE SIT OWE, YOU SAID THE CITY RECEIVED SOME PHOTOGRAPHS?

>> YES, HOLLY HAS THEM. >> WAS IT YOUR INTENTION TO

ADMIT THAT INTO EVIDENCE TODAY? >> YES, IT IS.

>> MS. GOLDFARB, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE YOUR CITATION APPEAL, THEY HAVE THAT AS WELL. TO CONTEST IT, DO YOU WANT THAT MOVED INTO EVIDENCE AS WELL OR JUST YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS?

>> I'M ASSUMING I WANT EVERYTHING MOVED IN.

I DON'T -- >> UP TO YOU.

>> I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH -- THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER GOTTEN A PARKING TICKET IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.

>> OKAY. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROCEEDINGS ARE, I'VE NEVER BEEN TO ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.

>> DID YOU HAS SUBMIT A HANDICAP PLACARD?

>> I DID. I HAD A HANDICAP PLACARD IN MY

CAR AT THE TIME OF THE CITATION. >> DO YOU WANT ALL OF THAT MOVED

INTO INSTEAD. >> YES, PLEASE.

>> MR. SOSITO, DO YOU HAVE EXHIBIT MARKERS?

>> I DO NOT, NOT ON ME. >> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, WHAT I WILL DO ON THE BACK OF THIS IS I WILL WRITE RESPONDENT'S EXHIBIT 1 ON THE BACK OF THESE AND NUMBER THEM 1 THROUGH --

>> AND MELODY IS KNOWN FOR FLOODING.

I'VE BEEN IN THAT OFFICE FOR EIGHT YEARS, NINE YEARS, AND IT FLOODS AND YOU JUST HAVE TO WAIT.

AND NOW THAT THEY'VE REPLACED THE WALL ON THE WATER, ON THE RIVER, IT GOES DOWN IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES, BUT YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE WATER TO GO DOWN BEFORE YOU CAN DRIVE INTO IT.

AND THAT'S WHAT THE PICTURES ARE GOING TO SHOW YOU, WHAT IT WAS

LIKE WHEN I WENT OUTSIDE. >> THANK YOU.

>> AND I HAVE THE TIME STAMP ON MY PHONE IF I WANT TO SEE IT

FROM MY PHONE. >> THANK YOU.

I'LL HAVE A LOOK AT THE PHOTOS FIRST.

[00:10:02]

>> SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, I'VE LABELED THEM RESPONDENT'S EXHIBIT 1A THROUGH G AND PUT THE LETTERING IN THE RIGHT-HAND CORNER OF EACH PAGE, THE FIRST THEN SEVERAL PHOTOGRAPHS AND THEN THE LAST PAGE IS THE HANDICAP PLACARD AND THE CITY HAS NO OBJECTION TO THEM BEING ADMITTED INTO EVIDENCE.

>> I'LL ACCEPT THIS INTO EVIDENCE AS RESPONDENT'S COMPOSITE EXHIBIT 1. WHAT TIME DID YOU SAY YOU TOOK

THESE PICTURES? >> I HAVE A LOT OF PICTURES ON MY PHONE. THE FIRST PICTURE WAS AT 4:56 ON JULY 20TH. AND THEN I HAVE OF THE PICTURE OF MELODY LANE IS 4:56 AND THE PICTURE OF MY CAR IS 4:57.

AND THEN THE PICTURE OF THE CAR COMING THROUGH ON MELODY LANE IS 4:58. AND THEN DIRECT IN FRONT OF MY OFFICE, THE FLOODING ON MELODY LANE IS 4:59.

AND THEN THE ONE AT 5:02. >> ANY RESPONSE FROM THE CITY?

>> JUST A FEW QUESTIONS FOR THE OFFICER, IF THE RESPONDENT IS

FINISHED? >> ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO

BRING TO MY ATTENTION? >> LIKE I SAID I'VE NOT DONE THIS BEFORE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE WOULD

HELP. >> EXCELLENT, THANK YOU.

AND SO THE ATTORNEY FOR THE CITY IS GOING TO ASK YOU SOME

QUESTIONS NOW. >> I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS

FOR YOU -- >> OH, I DON'T, I'M SORRY.

I MISUNDERSTOOD. >> SORRY, SIR.

I WILL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR OUR OFFICER WHEN SHE'S FINISHED.

>> SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER YOU WANT TO

BRING TO MY ATTENTION. >> MY WHOLE THING IS I WAS AFRAID OF DRIVING IN THE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.

I HAVE CHRONIC ISSUES CAN MY FEET AND WITH WITH MY FEET AND I TRY NOT TO DRIVE IN THE RAIN.

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR CANDOR. ATTORNEY HEDGES?

>> YES, SIR. OFFICER, WHAT TIME WAS YOUR

FIRST PHOTOGRAPH? >> IT WAS AT 1:54.

>> AND THE TIME LIMIT IS TWO HOURS?

SO THAT WOULD MAKE IT 3:54? >> YES.

>> IS THAT CORRECT? OKAY.

SO FROM THE RESPONDENT'S TESTIMONY, SHE WAS AT THREE

HOURS, IF I'M MATHING CORRECTLY? >> YES.

THE TIME I TOOK THE PICTURES FOR ISSUING THE CITATION, IT WAS --

>> WE CAN SCROLL THROUGH TO THE LAST PHOTOGRAPH.

SO THE TIME YOU ISSUED THE CITATION WAS 4:15.

>> YES. >> OKAY.

AND DO YOU RECALL IF IT WAS STORMING AT THE TIME THAT YOU

ISSUED THE CITATION? >> IT HAD JUST STARTED TO

SPRINKLE A LITTLE RAIN. >> CAN I ADDED?

>> ONE MOMENT. I'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE.

>> OKAY. >> MS. GOLDFARB, WHAT DID YOU

WANT TO ADD? >> THAT IT WAS AT 4:15 WHEN IT STARTED IN THAT PARTICULAR AREA, BUT AS I SAID, I LIVE IN FORT PIERCE, I LIVE OFF ST. LUCIE BOULEVARD AND THAT WAS WHEN I GOT THE PHONE CALL FROM MY HUSBAND TELLING ME DON'T COME HOME NOW BECAUSE IT'S ALREADY REALLY DARK OVER HERE AND IT'S THUNDERING AND LIGHTNING AND STORMING.

>> ANYTHING FURTHER FROM THE PARTIES HERE?

>> JUST BRIEF ARGUMENT, SIR. >> PROCEED.

>> SORRY. WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS BEFORE SO I DON'T KNOW YOUR STYLE YET, I APOLOGIZE SO JUST BRIEFLY, SIR, THE CODE DOES NOT HAVE AN EXCEPTION FOR WEATHER.

WHILE I UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN FOR RAIN, AND I DON'T MEAN TO

[00:15:08]

RATE REQUESTED BY THE CITY. >> CAN I SAY ONE MORE THING?

>> ABSOLUTELY. >> OKAY SO IF YOU LOOK IN THE PICTURES YOU CAN SEE THERE'S PARKING IN FRONT OF MY CAR, THERE'S PARKING BEHIND MY CAR. THE ENTIRE PARKING LOT THAT I'M NEXT TO IS EMPTY. I COULD VERY EASILY MOVE THE CAR. CAR INTO ONE OF THOSE SPOTS. I DIDN'T BECAUSE LIKE I SAID I'VE BEEN WORKING OUT OF THIS OFFICE SINCE 2018 AND I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A PARKING CITATION BEFORE, I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A WARNING BEFORE. I WAS TOLD ACTUALLY SOMEBODY IN MY OFFICE USED TO WORK IN THE PARKING DEPARTMENT FOR THE CITY AND -- NOT WORK, VOLUNTEER AND HE HAD TOLD ME YEARS AGO THAT IF YOU HAVE A HANDICAP PLACARD IN THE WINDOW, YOU PRETTY MUCH ARE OKAY. I JUST WASN'T THINKING THAT I HAD TO MOVE MY CAR FOR JUST -- YOU KNOW, WAITING FOR THE STORM TO PASS, JUST BECAUSE OF, YOU KNOW -- I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE GIVING TICKETS FOR THAT AT THAT TIME.

I NEVER GOT A WARNING. AND LIKE I SAID, YOU CAN SEE ON MY CAR BEHIND MY CAR THERE WAS NO FLOOD.

IN FRONT OF MY CAR THERE WAS. I COULD HAVE BACKED MY CAR UP.

I DIDN'T BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK THERE WAS GOING TO BE AN ISSUE

WITH THAT. >> THANK YOU MS. FOLD FASH GOLD.

ATTORNEY HEDGES, IS THERE ANY COUNTERARGUMENT TO THIS POINT

ABOUT THE HANDICAP PLACARD? >> YES, SIR.

SO THERE IS A STATE STATUTE THAT DISCUSSES -- AND IF YOU'LL GIVE ME A SECOND, IRAQ PULL THAT I CP FOR YOU.

SO THERE IS A STATE STATUTE THAT DEALS WITH HANDICAP PLACARDS AND BASICALLY IT RELATES HOWEVER TO PARKING FEES.

IT DOES NOT PROVIDE AN EXEMPTION FOR THE TWO-HOUR PARKING.

IT DEALS WITH WHAT EXEMPTIONS YOU HAVE, ESSENTIALLY, TO NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR PARKING OR GET EXTENDED TIME FOR PARKING.

THAT I FLORIDA STATUT 316.1964.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE HAVE A COPY PRINTED OR IF WE CAN PULL THAT UP FOR THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REVIEW IT.

>> YES, PLEASE. I HAVE IT.

>> SO IT WILL START WITH SUBSECTION 1, ANY STATE AGENCY, MUNICIPALITY, MAY NOT EXACT ANY FEE FOR PARKING ON THE PUBLIC STREETS OR HIGHWAYS OR ANY METERED PARKING SPACE FROM THE DRIVER OF A VEHICLE THAT DISPLAYS SUB A, DISABLED PARKING PERMIT. IT SAYS HOWEVER SUCH EXEMPTION APPLY ONLY IF THE VEHICLE IS TRANSPORTING THE PERSON WHO HAS A DISABILITY AND TO WHOM THE PARKING PERMIT OR LICENSE PLATE WAS ISSUED. SUB C -- SORRY SUB 2 IS TALKING ABOUT LOADING ZONES, FIRE ZONES, ACCESS, ADJACENT.

3 ARE CONVENTION CENTERS, CRUISE PORTALS, COLISEUMS, AUDITORIUMS. 5 IS WHERE IT GETS INTO ON STREET METERED RESTRICTIONS.

SO THE WAY I UNDERSTAND THAT TO BE ARE YOUR PAY TO PARK METERED PARKING SPOTS THAT RESTRICT THE DURATION OF TIME, IF THEY HAVE A PARKING PERMIT FOR DISABILITY PARKING, ALLOW A MAXIMUM OF FOUR HOURS AT NO CHARGE. IT SAYS HOWEVER, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS MAY EXTEND SUCH TIME BY LOCAL ORDINANCE, SO THESE ARE TALKING ABOUT YOUR METERED PAY TO PARK BUT IT DOES EVEN ALLOW MUNICIPALITIES IN THAT CIRCUMSTANCE ADDITIONAL LEEWAY WITH THEM. I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING ELSE RELATED TO HANDICAP PARKING THAT WOULD

PROVIDE ANY SORT OF EXEMPTION. >> THANK YOU, ATTORNEY HEDGES.

>> YES, SIR. >> ANYTHING FURTHER FROM THE

[00:20:03]

>> NO, SIR. >> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

SO MS. GOLDFARB, I THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN THIS MORNING AND FOR GIVING ME YOUR SIDE OF THE ISSUE HERE.

REALLY BRINGING ME UP TO SPEED. I WOULD SAY I DO SYMPATHIZE WITH THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE YOUR STATED FEAR CONCERNING THE WEATHER. BUT I DO FIND THAT, LIKE YOU SAID, COULD HAVE MOVED THE VEHICLE SOMEWHERE ELSE WHERE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IN VIOLATION. AND THE TESTIMONY THAT WAS PROVIDED DOES LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN THE VIOLATION OCCURRED, WE HAD NOT REACHED THAT LEVEL OF THE FLOODING THAT YOU HAD SEEN -- THAT I SAW IN YOUR PICTURES.

>> THAT TAKES 5 MINUTES. >> RIGHT.

NOW, IN LIGHT OF MY REVIEW OF THIS STATUTE, I SEE THERE'S A SPECIFIC CARVE-OUT FOR METERED PARKING, NOT FOR THE TYPE OF PARKING THAT WE HAVE HERE. IN LIGHT OF THAT, I AM INCLINED NOT TO TAKE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY HERE.

HOWEVER, I DO FIND THAT THERE WAS A VIOLATION, RIGHT.

AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT I'LL REDUCE THE FINE DOWN TO ZERO, BUT YOU WILL STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE FEE OF $10, TO BE PAID WITHIN 15 DAYS.

>> RIGHT NOW BEFORE I LEAVE. >> FANTASTIC.

BUT AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN THIS MORNING.

EILISH AN ORDER. AND BE WELL.

>> THANK YOU. WHERE CAN I GO TO PAY IT? I WAS CONFIRMING I STILL KNOW THIS ANSWER, IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I DID THESE SO I'M SORRY.

YOU CAN GO UP TO THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

THEY'RE ON THE THIRD FLOOR. I THINKI THINK WE CAN LET THEM W THAT YOU'RE COMING SO THEY'RE AWARE THAT IT'S THE $10 INSTEAD OF THE 60. WE'LL GET A COMMUNICATION TO

THEM. >> I'M GOOD WITH THAT -- SHE CAN

JUST TAKE -- >> PERFECT.

MR. SOSITO WILL HAVE SOME PAPERWORK YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU THAT YOU CAN GIVE TO THEM. YES, MA'AM.

>> THANK YOU. NEXT CASE, PLEASE.

>> OUR NEXT CASE IS GOING TO BE VIOLATION CASES CE-2026-394, 1807 SAN MARCOS. OKAY WE'RE GOING TO MOVE ON TO

IT WOULD DEPEND IF YOU'RE IN THAT DISTRICT OR NOT. THE CITY DOES ALSO DO DIFFERENT REHAB GRANTS THROUGH HUD. THAT WOULD BE THE CITY'S GRANTS DEPARTMENT.

WHEN THEY BEGAN TO DO THAT -- SO IN AUGUST OF '25, THEY SOLD ONE PROPERTY AND THEN THEY PUT THE NEXT UP AND FOUND OUT THEY HAD ALL THESE LIENS AND FINES AND THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO DID IT. SO IN THE MEANTIME, THEY HAVE PUT THIS 436 AND THE NEXT PROPERTY, 438 UP FOR SALE.
