Special Magistrate - Regular Meeting

Oh, right. We can all have some summer fun.

Okay. Okay. So we will address them accordingly. Okay, so now that everyone is in, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Attorney Rasheen Monasty. I am the Special Magistrate for this afternoon's hearing. Welcome to North Bay Village Code Enforcement Hearing. It will be conducted pursuant to Chapter 162 of the Florida Statute. Formal rules of evidence shall not apply, but fundamental due process shall be observed and govern these proceedings. I will hear testimony from the code inspector and the alleged violator that I deem to be competent and relevant. All witnesses and parties off

Okay. Hearing that, I'm going to go ahead and accept the village's recommendation. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Okay. And is anyone here for the property?

I'm going to go ahead and accept the village's recommendation. Thank you.

No? All right. I'm going to go ahead and accept the settlement.

No? Okay. We're going to go ahead and accept the religious recommendation. Thank you.

Okay. All right. I'm going to go ahead and accept the settlement agreement. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, okay. All right. I'm going to go ahead and accept the villager's recommendation.

Is anyone here? No. No. Okay. All right. I'm going to go ahead and accept the religious recommendation. Thank you.

I'm going to go ahead and accept the village's recommendation. Thank you.

I'm going to accept the village's recommendation. Thank you.

Okay, I'm going to go ahead and accept everybody's recommendation.

Yeah. All right. We're going to go ahead and accept the village's recommendation. Thank you.

Okay. I'm going to go ahead and accept the religious recommendation. Thank you.

Good afternoon. Were you here in the beginning? Were you sworn in?

Could you do us two small favors? Can you turn on your camera and we're going to have you be sworn in?

Okay. While you do that, is there another case that we can call? No, that's okay. All right. Okay. All right. If you can please raise your right hand and the clerk will swear you in.

Okay, so you've heard the village's testimony. Do you agree or disagree with their recommendations?

Okay. I'm going to have the inspector, Ms. Tovar, if you can just please give us a quick recap so that Mr. Gregory is aware of what the charges are, what the violation is, et cetera.

And are you or did you're the one that pulled that permit?

I'm going to give you 30 days. I don't want to see you here next month.

Okay, and you spoke to them. So they're not gonna, they're not here.

Good afternoon, please state your name and your relationship to the property and let me know whether you object to the villages recommendation.

Yes, it is. This is a new case. But it's not going to take, it's going to take you more than 30 days to resolve this.

I understand, but it doesn't sound like this can be an easy, quick fix.

Right, but that doesn't solve your overall problem. Just because you have the permits activated, you're still...

Okay. Okay. So whether this works out legally or not, that's not the village's responsibility. If you have to go with this person or if you have to fire this person and hire someone else, you have to do that before 30 days. I'm going to give you this one extension. Okay. But next month, don't tell me that you weren't able to come to a resolution with this person and you have to find someone else. And these things take a long time. Okay.

Okay, great. Okay. Thank you. Ms. Rodriguez, is that what's the name? Ms. Rodriguez, okay, please state your name and your relationship to the property for the record.

Okay, so I'm going to give you 30 days. Only? Okay, but you come back in 30 days and you tell me what's happening. If I give you six months, you're going to take a year.

Thank you so much. All right. Have a good day, everyone. Thank you.
