The
first
business
new
business
item
is
elected
chair
and
the
vice
chair.
You
remember,
the
miss
grayston
has
been
the
chair
for
the
past
two
years,
pursuant
to
your
rules
and
procedures.
She
cannot
do
it
any
longer,
there's
a
two-year
requirement,
so
we
will
need
a
motion
on
the
floor
to
elect
the
chair,
and
then
we
follow
that
by
election
of
the
vice
chair.
C
C
C
One
is
that
it's
been
over
a
year
on
the
other
is
that
it's
always
good
as
a
refresher
and
then,
if
there's
any
questions
that
have
come
up
within
the
past
year,
hopefully
I'll
be
able
to
answer
them
for
you-
and
please
remember
just
as
I
mentioned
the
lap
last
year
when
we
were
here,
is
that
whenever
you
have
a
question,
please
feel
free
to
call
me.
You
don't
have
to
wait
to
a
meeting
to
ask
that
question.
I
am
the
board
attorney
as
opposed
to
the
city
attorney,
so
I'm
here
for
for
you.
C
So,
let's
start
off
with
the
ordinance
itself.
You'll
remember
that
in
march
of
2015,
this
the
city
adopted
an
ordinance
that
ordinance
was
86
92-15.
That's
the
ordinance
that
specifically
created
a
nuisance
abatement
board
the
nuisance
abatement
board.
You
remember,
is
here
for
the
purposes
of
hearing
complaints
regarding
nuisances
that
may
be
set
forth
in
the
statute.
Chapter
893
and
I'm
going
to
go
through
some
of
those
specifics
as
we
go
through
the
rest
of
the
ordinance.
C
C
C
You've
already
done
that
we've
used
some
of
those
rules
earlier
to
determine
whether
we
need
to
adopt
or
appoint
a
chair
in
a
vice
chair.
So
you
do
have
those
rules
in
place
and
you
can
amend
them
from
time
to
time
if
you'd
like
to
do
that,
you
also
have
the
power
to
subpoena
witnesses.
To
this
hearing,
you
have
the
power
to
subpoena
evidence
to
this
hearing.
C
As
to
one
of
the
the
following
different
types
of
nuisances,
so
these
are
the
types
of
nuisances
that
you
will
hear.
The
first
one
is
on
one
occasion
as
the
site
of
the
unlawful
possession
of
a
controlled
substance
where
such
possession
constitutes
a
felony,
and
that
has
been
previously
used
on
more
than
one
occasion,
all
within
a
six-month
period
as
the
site
of
unlawful
sale,
delivery,
manufacturer
cultivation
of
any
controlled
substance.
C
The
second
is
on
or
more
than
two
occasions
within
a
six-month
period,
this
site
has
been
used
in
violation
of
florida
statute,
796.07,
that's
relating
to
prostitution,
of
prostitution
related
activities.
The
third
is
on
one
or
more
occasions,
within
a
six-month
period
as
the
site
of
an
unlawful
sale,
delivery,
manufacturer
cultivation
of
any
controlled
substance.
C
C
As
a
site
of
a
violation
of
something
related,
either
to
assault
and
battery
burglary
dealing
in
theft,
robbery
by
sudden
snatching
or
relating
to
the
unlawful
distribution
of
controlled
substances,
so
you
have
a
wide
variety
of
things
that
can
possibly
be
considered
as
a
nuisance,
and
those
are
the
things
that
you
may
hear
in
the
future
through
hearings
that
are
brought
to
you.
As
you
remember,
the
process
starts
with
the
filing
of
a
complaint.
The
complaint
is
filed
by
the
prosecuting
attorney,
that
is,
the
city
attorney
in
that
complaint.
C
C
Once
that
complaint
is
filed,
the
notice
of
hearing
is
issued.
That
notice
of
hearing
is
provided
to
the
respondent.
There
are
some
time
frames
that
has
to
be
done.
I
don't
want
you
to
get
caught
up
in
that,
but
there
is
a
time
frame
that
the
notice
has
to
be
received
by
the
respondent
in
order
to
be
receiving
due
process
for
the
hearing
that
would
take
place.
C
The
prosecuting
attorney
is
the
one
that
presents
the
evidence
on
behalf
of
the
city,
and
all
parties
involved
shall
have
the
opportunity
to
present
evidence
and
argument
on
all
issues
and
to
conduct
cross-examination
and
provide
rebuttal
evidence
at
the
conclusion
of
the
hearing
as
you've
seen
in
the
past.
There
is
a
order
that
is
prepared.
C
That
order
will
contain
findings
of
fact,
based
upon
the
evidence
is
presented,
and
it's
those
other
items
that
are
part
of
the
record
once
that
order
is
entered,
it
is
in
existence
for
a
one
year
period
of
time.
In
that
order,
the
the
board
can
impose
a
fine
not
to
exceed
250
a
day
for
each
day
the
conduct
occurred
or,
if
it's
a
reoccurring,
violation
not
exceeding
500
dollars
for
each
subsequent
finding
of
recurring
public
nuisance.
C
C
The
order
itself
is
normally
recorded
in
the
public
records.
It
becomes
a
lien
on
any
non-homesteaded
real
property
and
the
property
owner
is
then,
if
it's
foreclosed
by
the
city,
you
have
the
obligation
to
pay
all
costs,
including
reasonable
attorneys
fees
and
associated
costs.
With
regard
to
recording
of
the
orders.
Just
a
reminder,
though,
this
is
only
on
non-homesteaded,
real
property,
home
city.
Real
property
is
not
going
to
be
subject
to
the
lien
pursuant
to
the
statute
and
the
city's
code.
C
Today
I
handed
out
a
little
packet,
the
packet
itself
consists
of
three
or
three
statutes,
and
the
first
one
I'm
going
to
talk
about
is
the
sunshine
law,
and
that
is
the
one.
That's
marked
at
the
very
top
half
made
the
top
quarter,
page
286.011
public
meetings
and
records,
public
inspection,
criminal
and
civil
penalties.
C
C
Those
would
include
not
only
conversations
but
emails
texts,
social
media,
facebook,
tick,
tock
whatever
it
is
that
you
use
blogs
any
other
type
of
form
of
communication.
You
need
to
remember
that
you
cannot
be
talking
to
any
other
board
member
of
this
board
about
an
item
that
will
foreseeably
come
back
before
this
board
for
action.
C
In
addition
to
that,
under
this
statute
and
the
attorney
general
opinions
that
have
been
issued
relating
to
the
sunshine
law
is,
is
a
requirement
that
you
not
use
a
liaison
or
a
middleman
to
transmit
information.
That
is
also
considered
to
be
a
violation
of
the
sunshine
law.
So,
for
example,
if
mr
baker
asked
me
to
tell
miss
taylor,
something
about
a
hearing,
that's
coming
up,
not
only
would
mr
baker
be
violating
the
sunshine
law,
but
I
would
as
well
as
miss
taylor
when
she
responds
to
it.
C
When
you
look
at
this
statute,
it's
basically
requiring
three
things
for
the
sunshine
law
to
be
applicable,
and
that
is
is
that
the
meeting
has
to
be
open
to
the
public.
That's
the
first
thing
you
can
see
we're
here
in
this
meeting
and
we're
at
the
library
and
anybody
can
come
in
the
door.
The
door
is
not
locked,
it's
open
to
the
public,
it's
easily
accessible,
nobody
has
to
go
through
a
metal
detector,
nobody
has
to
be
asked
their
name
and
their
address
or
telephone
or
anything
like
that.
C
C
There
is,
even
though
you
know,
that's
great,
and
it's
not
necessary
to
be
a
month
in
advance.
At
any
reasonable
period
of
time-
and
that
depends
upon
the
circumstances,
but
I
would
say
at
least
a
week
prior
to
any
meeting
would
be
reasonable
under
the
statute,
and
so
you
will,
you
will
see
that
the
package
will
go
out
and
the
public
will
be
given
notice
of
the
meeting,
at
least
that
that
period
of
time.
C
It's
a
500
fine,
if
it's,
if
you
do
it
intentionally,
it's
not
only
a
500
fine,
but
it's
a
possible
punishment
of
up
to
60
days
in
jail.
So
it's
really
really
important,
not
only
for
the
purposes
of
not
getting
yourself
in
trouble,
but
also
just
so
that
you
know
any
action
that
takes
place
in
a
meeting
that
wasn't
properly
noticed
that
minutes
weren't
taken
any
action
at
that
meeting
would
be
considered,
void
and
non-binding.
C
C
C
C
C
So
why?
Why
is
that
important?
Well,
if
somebody
wants
to
see
it,
you
have
the
then
the
obligation
to
produce
that
public
record
and,
as
I
mentioned
last
year,
I
think
that
the
best
thing
to
do
is
if
you
receive
something
from
the
public
and
it
was
didn't,
go
through
the
city
clerk
or
the
police
department
or
another
staff.
Member,
that
you
have
an
understanding
that
you
know
that
you're,
probably
the
only
one
who's
receiving
it,
and
so
you
are
the
custodian
of
that
record.
C
But
you
can
provide
that
record
to
the
city
clerk
for
retention,
and
you
don't
have
that
obligation
to
retain
it
any
longer,
and
that's
my
suggestion
to
you
if
you
receive,
for
example,
an
email
from
somebody
that
wants
to
talk
to
you
about
a
case
that
you
either
going
to
hear
or
have
heard,
and
they
want
to
give
you
some
input
on
it.
It's
best
best
that
you
give
that
to
the
city
clerk.
C
C
So
again
my
advice
to
you
is:
if
you
receive
something
that
provide
it
to
the
clerk
and
then
you
don't
have
to
retain
it.
C
You'll
note
that
in
the
statute
itself,
I'd
mentioned
that
it's
actually
four
pages.
I
think
the
way
it's
printed
out.
I
also
provided
you
with
a
another
statute
119.071.
These
are
the
exemptions
for
the
public
records,
you'll
notice
that
the
avenue
is
about
20
pages
in
length.
So
you
got
three
pages
of
this.
C
Is
the
statute
and
you
got
20
some
pages
of
exemptions
to
the
statute,
so
the
exemptions
are
things
that
you're,
probably
already
aware
of,
and
like
I
mentioned
last
year,
things
like
active
criminal
investigations
of
documents
that
would
reveal
who
a
victim
is
in
a
crime,
medical
information,
social
security
numbers
addresses
and
telephone
numbers
of
protected
individuals
such
as
firefighters,
code
enforcement
officers,
police
officers,
special
magistrates,
city
manager,
human
resource
officer,
those
types
of
people.
C
Those
things
are
protected,
so
we
would
not
disclose
that
information
if
somebody
was
to
make
a
request
for
a
public
record
to
you
directly
again,
my
advice
to
you
is
immediately
provide
it
to
the
city
clerk.
The
city
clerk
has
an
obligation
to
do
a
couple
of
different
things,
that
is
to
acknowledge
that
the
request
has
been
received
and
that
she
would
start
gathering
any
documentation
and
probably
if
it
is
a
substantive
or
huge
request,
provide
some
type
of
invoice
for
any
extensive
work.
That
is
necessary
to
be
done
to
to
do
an
extensive
search.
C
C
C
C
It's
much
easier
to
read
the
one
that
is
in
your
agenda
backup,
but
I
wanted
to
give
you
the
pocket
ones,
because
I
normally
carry
one
of
these
around.
What
is
the
purpose
of
this?
It's
it's
for
a
couple
different
reasons.
One
is
it
gives
you
a
basic
understanding
of
some
of
the
ethics
laws
that
that
have
to
be
dealt
with
and
disclosure
forms
such
as
the
form,
one
that
you
have
to
file
as
a
member
of
this
board,
and
it's
my
understanding
from
the
city
of
clerk
e20.
You've
already
done
that.
C
C
If
any
of
those
things
actually
happen
to
you,
they
just
ask
that
you
reach
out
to
me
or
the
city
clerk
and
will
lead
you
through
the
path
of
whatever
you
need
to
do
to
handle
that
gift
that
if
you
receive
one,
so
that's
my
quick
review
since
we
did
it
last
year,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
for
you
about
either
the
ordinance
of
sunshine
law,
the
public
records
law
or
the
little
pamphlet
any
questions.
B
Now
we
will
open
the
meeting
to
any
staff
update
that
there
may
be
on
the
nuisance
abatement
process.
E
So
here
we
are
district,
two
nuisance
properties,
the
first
one
that
we
have
is
110
south
san
remo.
The
owner
is
horace
kinsler.
They
were
first
given
their
letter,
mailed
to
them
on
6
7
of
21
after
narcotics
search
warrant
for
sales
and
possessions
of
narcotics.
E
Since
that
initial
meeting,
a
narcotics
case
was
made
by
the
patrol
units
and
a
warrant
arrest
was
made
at
the
property,
but
no
additional
sales
of
narcotics
have
been
made
at
this
time.
The
nuisance
property
is
going
to
remain
open
and
active
as
a
result
of
some
intelligence
that
we
have
gathered
these,
I
think
it's
prudent
to
keep
it
open.
E
E
E
Ironically,
her
mom
geraline
lives
directly
across
the
street,
and
I
met
with
her
on
6
27
and
learned
that
she
had
been
in
the
hospital
at
the
time
and
was
unaware
of
anything
that
took
place.
I
provided
her
the
letter
for
the
nuisance
abatement
in
person
and
she
advised
that
she
was
the
actual
property
owner.
She
showed
me
the
actual
deed
for
the
property
which
she
had
a
photocopy
of
on
her
person
listing
herself
as
the
primary
and
her
daughter.
E
Person
listed
on
the
deed
and
she
is
responsible
for
all
activity
and
all
financial
obligations
for
the
property
and
to
date,
there's
been
no
modifications
to
the
property,
and
there
have
also
been
no
cases
subsequent
to
this.
E
E
To
date,
none
of
the
suggested
remedies
appear
to
have
been
implemented.
As
you
can
see
by
the
front
of
the
residence
there.
There
have
only
been
two
calls
for
service
at
the
residence.
One
was
a
suspicious
incident
and
the
other
one
was
a
self-initiated
field
interview
report
conducted
by
a
police
officer
on
the
23rd
of
august.
I
spoke
with
masito
and
she
advised
me
that
she
had
sold
the
residence
it
was
supposed
to
close
on
8
31..
E
E
1295
santa
rosa,
specifically
apartment
number
15..
I
met
with
the
property
owners
agent,
which
is
mr
rabbi,
I'm
not
sure.
If
I'm
pronouncing
it
correctly,
the
letter
was
sent
on
6
10.
After
a
narcotics
sales,
I'm
sorry
narcotic
search
warrant
was
served
as
a
result
of
narcotics
sales
on
6
24.
I
met
with
mr
rabbi
and
the
property
owner
at
the
property
made
several
suggestions
to
include
adding
lighting,
adding
cameras
evicting
the
the
tenant
for
number
15.
E
At
that
time,
I
learned
that
the
resident
of
number
15
had
already
been
evicted
prior
to
the
execution
of
the
search
warrant,
so
that
portion
of
the
problem
has
already
been
handled
and
as
of
8
23,
a
blanket
trespass.
Authorization
has
been
set
up
at
the
property
which
gives
police
officers
the
ability
to
trespass
individuals
that
have
no
legal
standing
at
the
property
at
the
request
or
on
behalf
of
the
property
owner
and
there's
some
additional
lighting
in
the
top.
E
E
E
E
However,
she
advised
that
she's,
an
absentee
owner,
has
no
intention
of
living
or
remaining
at
the
property,
and
she
is
actually
also
looking
to
sell
the
property
and
move
on
as
a
remedy.
She
has
added
the
trespass
authorization
which
you
can
see
in
the
front
left
corner
over
here.
She
has
removed
any
drapery
or
blinds
from
the
front
window
here
and
she
leaves
the
interior
light
on
as
the
ability
for
individuals
and
police
officers
to
see
that
nobody's
inside
she
lives
nearby,
but
only
temporarily.
She
plans
to
return
to.
E
This
has
been
an
ongoing
problem
for
the
police
department
with
regards
to
narcotics
sales
from
this
specific
residence
on
8
3.
After
several
narcotics
sales
and
a
subsequent
search
warrant
at
the
residence,
they
were
sent
a
letter.
I
met
with
them
on
8
19
and
miss
johnson
as
well
as
I
believe
it
was
four
other
family
members
met
me.
We
discussed
remedies.
E
The
entire
family
was
on
board
with
changing
the
culture
of
what
was
taking
place
at
the
property
they
agreed
and
on
their
own.
They
decided
to
remove
a
six-foot
high
wooden
fence
that
had
been
covering
the
majority
of
the
property
and
was
used
to
shield
and
blanket
some
of
the
illegal
activity
from
view
of
the
street
from
law
enforcement,
and
they
were
replacing
it
with
a
roughly
three
or
four
foot
tall,
lattice
style
fence
and
on
their
own
they're,
going
to
include
and
add.
E
So
it
appears
as
though
this
time
they
are
taking
it
very
seriously,
and
these
are
some
of
their
makeshift
things.
The
little
lattice
fencing
there
that
is
replacing
what
was
a
six
foot
high
fence
and,
like
I
said,
shielded
everything
from
our
view
and
basically
it
was
a
open
drug
ear
mark
open
air
drug
market
within
the
the
yard
there.
E
Lastly,
we
have
1929
shenango
it's
owned
by
three
partners:
llc,
which
is
actually
one
partner.
Helen
koskowski
was
mailed
a
letter
on
83
after
narcotics
sales
and
a
subsequent
search
warrant.
I
spoke
to
miss
kloskowski
by
phone.
She
is
out
of
town
for
several
months
and
was
unaware
that
we
had
actually
mailed
her
the
property
or
the
the
letter.
She
advised
that
it
was
most
likely
her
doorman
at
her
condominium
association
that
signed
for
set
letter,
and
she
was
unaware
of
it.
D
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I'm
john
connor,
I'm
in
charge
of
district
3,
which
is
keen
east
to
the
bay
same
boundaries,
otherwise
north
and
south.
The
one
property
I
do
have
in
my
district
is
a
day's
end.
That's
at
2940
gulf,
the
bay,
the
owner,
jay,
patel,
literally
just
bought
it
in
november
of
2021,
so
he's
a
new
owner.
D
I
did
as
soon
as
he
was
sent
a
letter.
He
called
me
immediately.
I
had
a
meeting
two
days
later
and
with
him
and
his
general
manager
to
sonya
brothers,
and
they
were
very
receptive
to
everything
we
spoke
about
and
actually
were
ahead
of
the
game
and
a
lot
of
it.
If
you
can
tell
by
the
picture
and
driving
around
the
property,
if
you've
ever
been
there,
it's
well
kept.
D
The
bushes
are
manicured.
He
currently
already
has
six
surveillance
cameras
on
site
and
he
plans
on
installing
more
one
of
my
suggestions
was
the
list
of
problem
tenants
and
he
already
had
one.
In
fact,
he
let
me
take
a
picture
of
it
and
he
has
four
reasons
if
they're
disruptive
drugs,
prostitution
or
they
break
something
while
at
the
property,
so
they
already
had
that
and
it
was
already
pretty
much
filled
out
so
they've
been
abiding
by
that
for
quite
a
while.
D
I
subsequently
met
with
our
narcotics
sergeant
and
there's
been
no
activity
like
that
since
and
quite
honestly,
he
didn't
think
there
would
be
the
the
basically
the
dealer
had
caught
come
in
through
a
girlfriend
who
would
reserve
the
place
on
kingdom,
platinum,
she's,
a
platinum
member,
so
didn't
raise
any
red
flags
with
the
staff
there
that
a
platinum
member
would
come
in
and
rent
and
then
subsequently
have
another
male
come
in
and
deal
drugs.
So
it's
kind
of
an
anomaly
as
far
as
that
goes.
