The

Since
we
are
not
on
our
usual
location,
some
of
the
documents
that
we
would
have
otherwise
had
immediate
access
to
or
taking
a
little
bit
time
to
retrieve,
but
I've
got
the
code
section
in
just
a
moment.
I'll
read
it
to
you
and
I
think
I
think
you'll
see
that
it
does
cover
the
situation
here.
Let
me
just.
M
Wooden
Building,
Material
being
used
or
being
used
for
a
project
of
repair
or
renovation
for
which
a
building
permit
has
been
obtained
may
be
stored
for
such
period
of
time,
as
is
necessary
to
expeditiously
complete
the
project.
Nothing
contained
herein
shall
preclude
the
use
of
aerial
photographs
as
evidence
in
an
enforcement
proceeding
to
show
the
existence
of
a
violation
of
this
article.
So
I
think
the
materials
that
were
listed
would
would
reflect
the
kinds
of
materials
that
are
being
maintained,
kept
on
the
property.
F
E
E
M
The
the
statute
and
ordinance
takes
into
consideration
that
certified
mail
may
not
be
satisfactory
to
put
the
property
no
owner
on
notice,
which
is
why
the
statute
also
allows
for
the
posting
of
the
property,
as
it
was
properly
done.
The
idea
being
that,
if,
even
if
a
property
owner
is
an
absentee
owner,
they
should
have
someone,
if
not
themselves
being
aware
of
what's
happening
on
their
property.
Is
that
they
can
take
appropriate
action,
and
the
posting
of
the
property
allows
someone
to
be
responsible
for
taking
care
of
their
property
without.
C
I'll
make
a
motion
to
resolve
this
case.
I'll
make
a
motion
to
resolve
this
case,
respond
to
its
violation.
I
have
to
read
the
whole
paragraph:

Within

to
impose
a

of
up
to
250
dollars
per

plus

F
Motion
has
made
it
to
find
the
find
that
the
respondents
violated

section
9-2
sub
a

punch,

an
Affidavit

If

I,
posted

that's
what
I
was
going

ask.
Yes
still,

the
the
point
being
that
we

bringing

requiring
them

an
additional
time
to
come

87
with
Parkinson,
so
he's
been
in
and
out
of
the
hospital
since
before
the
hurricane.
H
H
This
is
my
daughter,
Isabella
bertolino.
It
was
Samaritan's
Purse,
they
came
in
and
they
took
down
the
downed
tree.
That
was
in
the
back
property
and
most
of
the
fence,
and
then
you
know
all
of
the
help
really
has
gone
out
of
the
county
so
or
is
inundated
with
other
places
that
have
a
lot
more
damage
to
it.
F
F
F
I
G
H
As
well
as
if
I
am,
if
I
may,
everybody's
telling
me
eight
they're
eight
to
ten
weeks
out
to
help
with
anything
else,
so
you
know
I
came
in
late
to
getting
because
of
the
check.
I
came
in
late
to
getting
help
my
next
door
neighbor,
who
purchased
that
property
and
the
pictures
are
neurons,
Keith
hammer
said
I
could
put
stuff
in
his
garage.
That
is
there.
G
P
E
I
received
this
order
and
has
further
ordered
that
responded
and
required
to
pay
court
or
pay
case
course
costs
and
incur
the
amount
of
nineteen
dollars
and
36
Cents
within
30
days
of
receipt
of
the
order.
There's
further
order
than
fair
to
comply
with
the
jewelry
may
call.
Is
the
code
enforcement
board
to
impellers
to
find
up
to
250
dollars
per
day
plus
applicable
insurance.
F

In
order,
the
respondents
bring
the
property
into
compliance
within
120
days
of
the
receipt
of
disorder
further
order,
the
respondents

further

allow
the

Is
there.
G

O
O
O
H
I
have
one
other
question:
I
do
help
run
that
pantry
and
there's
going
to
be
times
where
I'm
going
to
have
my
trailer
with
boxes
and
there
not
necessarily
food.
Sometimes
people
donate,
you
know
holiday
things,
the
retail
stores
I
pick.
We
pick
up
from
the
retail
stores,
so
sometimes
it'll,
be
there
for
a
day.

However,
the

storm
shelters

to
be

The
grapple
truck
came
by
the
city
of
Punta,
Gorda
grapple
truck,
came
by
and
tore
out
some
of
the
things
that
I'm
now
getting
cited
for,
which
seems
kind
of
extreme
the
the
tree.
That's
still
there,
which
is
a
sea
grape
tree.
It
was
slightly
uprooted,
From,
The
Storm,
and
it
needs
to
be
put
to
rights
again.
P
P
You
couldn't
see
the
house
from
the
street
and
it
was
all
planted
vegetation,
the
remnants
of
which
you
can
see
now
in
we
lived
abroad
for
the
first
two
years.
We
own
the
house
and
I
attempted
to
hire
contractors
to
maintain
the
property
and
it
didn't
work
so
well.
They
managed
to
destroy
a
lot
of
it
instead
of
grooming,
it
or
or
pruning
it.
P
In
the
meantime,
since
11
years
ago,
my
wife's
got
very
ill,
I've
been
disabled
and
my
back
is
severely
limited,
my
movements,
so
what
I've
been
doing
when
I
come
down
here
primarily,
is
finding
trying
to
find
contractors
and
laborers
to
work
on
the
property.
With
me,
So
Yesterday,
well,
oddly
enough
on
January,
17th
or
16th
I,
had
met
with
a
landscaping
contractor
to
come
and
see
about
replanting,
our
our
Greenery
and.
F
G
G
F
P
P
P
F
F
P
P
P
P
P
F
F
F
P
A
P
A
A
A
Because
everybody
wants
work
done
because
of
the
storm.
I
understand
that
okay.
So
what
I
think
I'm
hearing
from
you
that
you're
proposing
that
you
can
get
everything
done
within
six
months?
Notwithstanding
that
you're
going
back
and
forth
to
Michigan,
even
though
you're
going
back
and
forth
to
Michigan
I.
E
P
A
P
L
So
it
is
a
violation
they
do
need
to
be
stored
inside,
as
well
as
the
garbage
cans
that
those
are
your
violations
of
the
outside
storage.
Anything
that
can
be
seen
from
The
Wider
right
away
on
a
journey
adjoining
property
is
a
is
a
violation,
so
we
need
to
be
stored
inside
or
removed
as
far
as
the
vegetation,
it's
not
the
trees
that
are
in
violation.
L
L
P
So
six
months
will
either
be
gone
or
everything
will
be
increased,
good
and
I'll.
Keep
it
up.
It's
I
have
some
people
that
are
supposed
to
become
working
for
me
and
they
promise
to
go
by
and
mow
the
lawn
and
and
pick
up
any
more
leaves
and
branches
that
fell
down,
but
they
kind
of
disappeared
on
me.
I
was
happy
with
them.
I
thought
they
were
happy
with
me.
Thank
you.

J
So
we
find
that
effective
boards
are
those
that
remain
forward-looking,
understand
the
duties
and
responsibilities
within
their
purview
prioritize.
The
purpose
of
the
board
over
their
personal
desires,
treat
staff,
the
public
and
fellow
members
with
respect,
follow
Council
adopted
rules
of
conduct
which
are
respect.
Each
person
share
responsibility,
criticize
only
ideas,
not
people,
keep
an
open,
mind
question
and
participate,
attend
all
meetings
and
listen
constructively.
J
The
chair
and
the
vice
chair
have
duties
that
are
a
little
different
from
those
of
our
other
members,
they're
elected
each
February
by
members
of
the
board
and
served
for
one
year.
They
can
serve
a
maximum
of
three
consecutive
years
if
re-elected
before
they
have
to
take
a
year
off
after
which
they
can
resume
the
prior
office.
If
the
board
desires
they
run
meetings
in
accordance
with
the
agenda
as
the
host
of
the
assembly,
the
vice
chair
runs
meetings
in
the
chair's
absence.
J
E
J
You
think
that
you
have
a
conflict
of
interest.
We
would
like
you
to
contact
our
office
that
way
we
can
go
over
the
state
statute
with
you,
because
the
case
is
where
that
would
actually
occur
are
quite
rare.
They
typically
involve
the
potential
for
a
person
or
certain
relatives
or
business
partners
to
gain
or
lose
money
pursuant
to
action
taken
on
an
item,
and
as
for
the
Prejudice
correct
me,
if
I'm,
would
you
like
to
explain
that.
M
M
Anything
anything
that
that
could
you
know,
give
the
appearance
of
unfairness
towards
the
respondent,
and
you
know
there's
nothing
very
clear-cut
about
that.
But
if
you
personally
feel
like
that,
it
might
prevent
you
from
being
totally
open
with
respect
to
the
respondent
and
the
respondents
case
it's
best
to
announce
that
ahead
of
time
and
refrain
from
participating.
Thank
you.
J
J
J
So
there
are
two
groups
of
sizzy
staff
that
your
board
typically
interacts
with.
One
is
our
office,
the
city
clerk's
office.
We
track
appointments
and
attendance.
We
administer
the
oath
of
office,
teach
member.
We
provide
an
orientation
and
educational
materials
and
assist
during
the
meetings
with
meeting
procedures.
J
We
also
provide
a
recording
secretary,
who
prepares
minutes
and
recordings.
Your
supporting
department
is
the
code
compliance
division.
They
provide
a
board
secretary,
Ashley
Carney,
who
creates
issues
and
distributes
the
agenda
and
staff,
Who
present
agenda
items
and
or
reports
for
your
board.
That's
going
to
be
the
Code
Compliance
officers
typically,
and
they
can
also
answer
board
member
questions
in
advance
of
meetings.
E
J
So
when
all
seats
are
filled,
your
board
is
a
seven
regular
member
board,
so
for
you,
a
quorum
would
be
a
minimum
of
four
members.
It's
required
in
order
to
call
a
meeting
to
order
and
must
be
maintained
throughout
the
meeting
without
a
quorum.
The
board
is
limited
to
taking
these
actions
you
can
recess
at
which
time
staff
will
take
measures
to
try
to
obtain
a
quorum,
and
if
that
cannot
be
done,
then
we
ask
that
the
meeting
be
adjourned.
J
You
we
actually
had
that
happen
somewhat.
Recently.
We
had
a
board
where
we
had
less
than
a
quorum
present,
so
the
meeting
wasn't
even
started
and
we
attempted
to
contact
members
to
try
to
determine
if
they
were
on
the
way
and
maybe
just
stuck
in
traffic
or
if
they
weren't
aware
that
the
meeting
was
taking
place
because
it
had
been
some
time
since
a
meeting
had
been
held.
So
we
were
able
to
get
in
touch
with
enough
members
that
we
were
able
to
gain
a
quorum
and
hold
that
meeting.
F
F
J
J
We
ask
that
each
speaker
wait
to
be
recognized
by
the
chair
before
speaking
and
that
only
one
person
speaks
at
a
time.
Comments
should
be
confined
to
the
current
issue
with
repetition
avoided
discussion
when
possible
should
alternate
between
pro
and
con
arguments.
If
appropriate,
we
ask
that
lengthy
papers
not
be
read
during
the
meeting
and
again
sidebar
conversations
are
prohibited,
as
they
are
a
Sunshine
Law
violation.
J
J
J
The
chair
keeps
discussions
focused
and
reminds
members
of
the
purpose
of
the
item
and
remaining
areas
to
be
addressed
as
necessary.
Calls
for
a
motion
if
no
new
points
are
made
and
sidebar
conversations
between
members
and
ensures
proper
motions
are
made.
This
can
include
calling
for
a
motion
when
necessary.
If
members
don't
offer
one
of
their
own
accord,
ensuring
a
motion
is
seconded
before
discussion
begins
and
if
a
motion
is
not
seconded,
then
the
chair
announces
that
it
has
design
died
for
lack
of
a
second.
J
The
chair
should
also
restate
the
motion
upon
conclusion
of
discussion.
That
way,
everyone's
understands
what
is
being
voted
on
calls
for
both
an
I
vote
and
a
naval
vote
and
announces
the
result
of
the
vote.
The
chair
adjourns,
the
meeting
after
all
agenda
items
have
been
addressed.
A
motion
is
not
required
for
adjournment,
so
our
hearings
are
conducted
a
little
differently
here
than
they
are
with
our
other
boards
and
committees.
J
They
are
conducted
in
accordance
with
chapter
9A,
section
9a7,
and
that
must
be
done
in
order
to
ensure
that
fairness
and
partiality
and
due
process
are
afforded
to
all
parties.
The
recording
secretary
swears
in
all
participants.
The
chair
announces
the
case
by
reading
its
title.
The
respondent
enters
a
plea,
or
the
chair
enters
a
plea
of
not
guilty
on
their
behalf.
J
If
they
are
absent,
staff
provides
the
city's
case
in
Chief,
including
direct
testimony
of
All
City
witnesses,
an
opportunity
for
respondent
to
cross-examine
Witnesses
and
redirect
examination
of
City's,
Witnesses
and
presentation
of
documentary
evidence
board.
Members
can
ask
questions
through
the
chair.
J
Staff
may
present
a
rebuttal,
if
necessary
in
the
respondent,
may
present
a
closing
statement,
and
then
staff
may
present
a
closing
statement
as
well
for
discussion
then
ensues
and
the
board
will
end
up
making
a
motion
to
find
the
respondent
guilty
or
not
guilty
to
issue
an
order,
affording
the
proper
relief
consistent
with
the
powers
granted
by
this
chapter
and
to
establish
a
date
for
compliance
and
indicate
a
fine
may
be
imposed
penalty.
Oh
I'm,.
F
M
Can
if
it
goes
to
the
question
of
whether
there's
a
problem
efficient
case,
the
fact
that
the
I
think
the
question
that
was
asked
that
I
thought
might
be
inappropriate
at
that
stage
was
whether
there
had
been
a
contact
with
the
the
respondent
to
bring
the
property
into
compliance.
That
would
be
go
to
the
respondents.
Defense,
not
whether
or
not
the
city
has
a
prima
facial
case.
Yeah.
M
There
there
is
because
again
you
know,
although,
generally
speaking,
the
board
finds
that
the
city
has
made
a
primal
facial
case.
There's
the
the
question
that
was
asked
regarding
the
whether
the
owner
or
respondent
was
cited
under
the
appropriate
provision
of
the
code
would
be
an
appropriate
question
to
ask
at
that
stage,
because
if
they
were
improperly
cited,
then
the
motion
that
the
city
did
not
present
a
prime
Aphasia
case
would
be
in
order
or,
if
the
or,
if
the
or,
if
the
proper
code
violation
was
cited.
M
E
J
When
we
have
the
penalty
hearings,
the
recording
secretary
will
make
sure
that
all
the
participants
are
sworn
in.
The
chair
announces
the
hearing
by
reading
its
title
staff
provides
an
overview
of
the
case's
history
and
any
updates
to
the
case
in
Chief,
including
direct
testimony
of
All
City
witnesses,
an
opportunity
for
the
respondent
to
cross-examine
Witnesses,
redirect
examination
of
City's,
Witnesses,
presentation
of
documentary,
evidence
and
board
members
are
allowed
to
ask
questions
through
the
chair.
J
The
respondent
presents
their
case
in
Chief.
The
board
members
ask
questions
through
the
chair
staff
may
present
a
rebuttal
if
necessary,
the
respondent
may
present
a
closing
statement
and
staff
may
present
a
closing
statement.
Then
board
discussion
will
ensue
and
the
board
motions
to
find
the
respondent,
in
violation
of
the
order
to
impose
a
fine,
including
applicable
interest,
which
will
continue
to
run
until
the
property
comes
into
compliance
and
to
require
payment
of
case
costs
incurred.
J
Any
questions
on
the
penalty
hearings.
At
this
point
we
also
have
repeat
violation:
penalty
hearings.
If
a
respondent
has
previously
been
issued
a
cease
and
desist
order
for
a
certain
violation
within
the
past
five
years,
subsequent
violations
of
the
same
section
of
code
may
be
brought
forward
as
repeat
violations.
J
E
M
No,
it's
not
it's
it's
in
the
law
and
the
presumption
would
be
that
you
know
they
would
be
knowledgeable
of
the
law.
They
can
certainly
ask
the
code
staff
and
it-
and
it
happens
very
frequently
when
they're
looking
to
sell
the
property
or
the
property
has
been
sold,
the
the
violation,
May
travel
with
the
with
the
property,
and
then
somebody
would
come
in
and
ask
for
a
fine
reduction.
I
mean
it's:
it's
there's
no
notice
directly
given
to
an
applicant
that
they
can
come
in
for
a
fine
reduction.
E
M
M
J
All
right
so
for
requests
for
fine
reduction.
Those
will
begin
with
the
recording
secretary
again
making
sure
all
participants
are
sworn
in.
The
chair
announcing
the
hearing
by
reading
the
item's
title

will
provide
an
overview
of
the
case
and
related
fines

incurred
in
liens
board.

The

presents

reduction
board.
J
As
far
as
parliamentary
procedure
goes,
the
city
does
not
strictly
follow
Robert's
Rules
of
Order,
the
chair,
explains
to
the
public.
What
the
board
is
doing
keeps
the
public
informed
while
proceeding
with
an
item
and
announces
the
results
of
any
action
taken
by
the
board.
Members
wait
to
be
recognized
by
the
chair
prior
to
speaking,
stay
focused
on
the
topic
at
hand
and
avoid
repetitious
discussion
and
make
motions,
as
needed
motion
signal
the
desire
to
take
a
specific
action
to
be
voted
on
by
all
members
at
the
diocese.
J
There
are
seven
steps
to
making
an
emotion.
First,
a
member
should
wait
and
ask
to
be
recognized
by
the
chair.
The
chair
then
recognizes
the
member
the
member
states
their
motion.
Another
member
can
second
the
motion
without
waiting
to
be
recognized
by
the
chair.
If
not,
secondly,
the
emotion
dies
and
the
chair
should
announce
that
result.
J
J
J
J
Only
two
amendments
may
be
offered
at
a
time
before
one
must
be
voted
on
with
the
second
amendment
being
voted
on.
First,
if
the
Second
Amendment
passes
it's
incorporated
into
the
First
Amendment
and
following
any
remaining
discussion
of
the
first
amendment
of
vote,
is
taking
on
that
Amendment
as
it
stands,
then
the
chair
then
restates
the
main
motion
incorporating
any
amendments
which
passed
and
asking
for
any
further
discussion.
J
J
J
Miss
Jones
would
then
ask
to
be
recognized
by
stating
Mr
chair.
The
chair
recognizes
Mrs
Jones
Mrs
Jones,
then
States
I
move
to
amend
the
motion
by
adding
subject
to
staff
review
after
application
and
someone
seconds
that,
without
waiting
to
be
recognized,
Mr
Brown
then
asks
to
be
recognized
by
the
chair.
The
chair
recognizes
him.
He
moves
to
amend
the
amendment
by
replacing
staff
with
legal
and
someone
seconds
that
motion
the
chair
asks
for
any
discussion
of
the
Second
Amendment.
J
J
The
amendment
on
the
floor
would
then
be
to
add,
subject
to
Legal
review
after
application.
The
chair
is
going
to
call
for
any
further
discussion
of
the
amendment
as
it
then
stands.
If
there
are
none,
then
the
chair
can
go
ahead
and
take
the
vote
once
that
boat
is
done,
a
motion
still
has
not
officially
been
passed.
We
still
need
a
vote
on
the
main
motion
before
action
can
be
considered
to
have
been
taken
by
the
board.
J
Certain
to
call
the
question
on
the
floor
and
end
debate
to
amend
a
motion
to
reconsider
a
motion
to
rescind
emotion
and
to
take
action
on
an
item
and
we
are
putting
together
a
board
member
meeting
reference
book
that
does
include
within
it
a
section
on
parliamentary
procedure.
That
includes
a
cheat
sheet
of
all
the
different
kinds
of
motions
what
they
accomplish
and
what
their
requirements
are.
For.
Those
motions.
J
J
Discussion
of
City
business
before
the
meeting
is
called
to
order
or
following
edgerman,
is
a
violation
of
the
Sunshine
Law
written
correspondence
by
one
member
to
inform
others
of
the
subject
to
be
discussed
at
a
meeting
is
not
a
violation
unless
discussion
takes
place
prior
to
the
meeting.
However,
if
you
send
an
email
to
someone
just
to
inform
them
of
something,
and
they
then
reply,
a
discussion
has
started,
so
we
strongly
encourage
members
to
not
email
each
other
and
also,
if
you
were
to,
for
some
reason,
have
to
email.
M
If
I
might
this
discussion
is
intended
for
boards
in
general,
but
with
respect
to
this
particular
board,
even
though
it
may
not
be
a
violation
of
the
Sunshine
Law,
it
may
be
violation
of
quasi-judicial
proceedings
for
you
to
have
communications
with
each
other.
Even
if
it's
a
one-way
communication
prior
to
the
the
hearing
before
you
so
I
would
I
would
I
would
advise
not
to
have
any
written
correspondence
or
or
verbal
corresponds
for
that
matter.
Regarding
any
matter,
that's
going
to
be
heard
as
a
violation
before.

J
Telephone
participation
by
an
absent
member
is
only
permissible
when
there
is
a
quorum
of
the
board
physically
present,
and
the
absence
is
due
to
extraordinary
circumstances
such
as
an
illness
and
the
board
approves
such
participation.
However,
we
are
somewhat
limited
in
our
capability
to
accommodate
that
here.
J
I
Yes,
point
of
clarification,
or
maybe
my
confusion,
telephone
calls.
In
other
instances,
we've
asked
about
the
possibility
of
zoom
and
we're
told
under
Florida
law.
You
can't
do
Zoom
or
calls
like
that
when
a
board
member
is
going
to
be
absent,
so
is
there?
Is
this
an
exception
or
how
to
if
you
don't
have
a
quorum
or
you're
missing
a
member?
Is
there?
Is
this
a
viable
option
or
not.

Public
records
must
be
retained
and
disposed
of
in
accordance
with
the
state's
general
records
schedules.
At
the
end
of
a
member's
term
of
appointment,
records
should
be
provided
to
a
member
successor
or
the
city
clerk's
office.
We're
happy
to
accept
anything
that
you
do
happen
to
have
records
must
not
be
destroyed
or
otherwise
disposed
of.
Prior
to
meeting
the
required
retention
period
established
for
the
appropriate
state
general
records
schedule.
J
If
you
happen
to
receive
or
send
an
email
that
is
about
City
business
and
it's
not
being
addressed
to
or
received
from
a
staff
member,
we
ask
that
you
forward
or
copy
retention
at
city
of
Punta
Gorda
fl.com
on
those
emails.
That
way
we
can
make
sure
that
is.
It
is
retained
for
the
appropriate
period
of
time
within
our
archiving
system.
F
J
J
I
M
But
but
the
answer
to
your
question
would
be
that
you're
entitled
to
receive
those
ex
parte
Communications
and
under
the
recently
adopted
resolution
of
the
city
council.
You
don't
even
need
to
disclose
those.
Nevertheless,
even
even
for
your
board
responsibilities,
you
are
only
to
make
your
decision
based
on
the
evidence
and
testimony
presented
at
the
hearing,
so
you
can
receive
stuff,
no
need
to
disclose
it,
but
you
can't
base
your
decision
on
it
either.
Yes,.
J
J
There
are
ethics
laws
that
do
apply
to
our
board
members,
Florida
Statutes,
chapter
112
part
3,
provides
for
the
code
of
ethics
for
public
of
officers
and
employees,
a
guide
to
the
sunshine
Amendment
and
code
of
ethics
for
public
officers
and
employees
is
published
annually
by
the
Florida
Commission
on
ethics.
If
anyone
would
like
a
copy
of
it,
we
would
be
happy
to
email
it
to
you.
J
The
law
details,
prohibited
actions
in
conduct,
voting,
conflicts
of
interest
and
financial
disclosures,
among
other
things,
penalties
for
violating
the
code
of
ethics
range
from
a
misdemeanor
to
a
felony
of
the
third
degree,
as
well
as
removal
from
Office

censure.
A
civil

If
the
official
decision,
rolling
or
act
occurs
in
the
context
of
the
quasi-judicial
proceeding,
a
member
May
abstain
from
voting
on
such
matter.
If
the
abstention
is,
we
should
probably
skip
this
part.
This
is
really
more
for
the
Planning
Commission.
Isn't
it
with
the
nope
wrong
page?
Sorry,
if
the
official
decision
rolling
react
occurs
in
the
context
of
a

voting
on
such
matter
if
the
abstention
is
to
assure
a
fair
proceeding,
free
from
potential
bias
or
prejudice.

There's
also
Florida
statute
112.3143
