Code Enforcement Board - Regular Meeting

Oh, man. You're the man.

Good evening, everyone, and welcome to tonight's Miami Shores Village code enforcement hearing. Present this evening are board members who are all volunteers and are residents of Miami Shores Village, and they are your neighbors. They are charged with enforcing the code and are interested in compliance with the code. As for me, my name is Judalyn June, and I'm the attorney representing the village in tonight's meeting. I am present as counsel to the board. However, I'm not prosecuting the cases tonight. All the cases will be prosecuted by village staff, Mr. Mike Orta and Mr. Leopold Luis. Some housekeeping matters before we get started. Everyone should have checked in with the clerk so that we know that you are here and your name is on the agenda. I would also like to ask everyone to silent their phones to remove any interruptions during the meeting. Now I'll briefly explain what will happen tonight so that all of you understand how the hearings work. Now there are three different types of hearings that will be heard tonight. First hearing, penalty hearing, and request for relief. The first hearing is for persons that have been issued a notice of violation, and this is their first time coming on that notice of that violation. And the issue is, or that will be addressed, is whether that there is a violation of the code on the property. chair will call the case by address if it is your case please come up to the podium and speak directly into this microphone so your testimony may be recorded now if you do contest that there is a violation on the property you will be allowed to present evidence before the board and so will the code enforcement officers This will include any photographs and testimony to the violation, and you have the right to cross-examine the village code enforcement officer about his testimony. And the board can also question the code enforcement officer as well. And finally, it will be your turn and you could put on your case TO THE BOARD AND PRESENT ANY EVIDENCE YOU HAVE IN THE VILLAGE IN THE BOARD MAY CONDUCT THE CROSS-EXAMINATION OF YOUR CASE. AND FINALLY, THE BOARD WILL THEN ADJUDICATE THE CASE BY MAJORITY VOTE AND ASSIGN A DEADLINE OF COMPLIANCE. THE SECOND TYPE OF HEARING ARE PENALTY HEARINGS. These are persons that have already been through the first hearing, they were given a date to cure the violation, and the primary issue to be determined on penalty hearing is whether you met the deadline and whether the violation is presently cured. If no cure for the violation was provided by the deadline, the board can impose liens. If you maintain that you did cure the violation on time, or if you would like to request for more time, the board may hear your testimony. The last type of hearing is a request for relief, also known as the mitigation process. The request for relief is for persons whose property has already been found in violation, they have incurred fines and liens, and that individual has cured the violation and now comes before the board seeking to settle with the board by offering a number less than the full amount of the lien. This is not an appeal process, but a settlement negotiation. Because of this, the board will only vote on one proposal per applicant per meeting. And at some point during the hearing, the chair will ask you a final question. And that question is, is this your final offer? What is meant by that is, is that the offer that you want the board to vote on? You can raise or lower the offer, but once they vote on that number, that is the only number that the board will consider. Now that concludes my explanation of the three types of hearings that will be heard tonight. And as part of tonight's hearing, everyone seeking to testify must be sworn in. So if you plan on testifying at this time, please raise your right hand. Thank you. Do you solemnly swear or affirm the testimony you give tonight will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Thank you.

All right. Thank you for coming to this evening's Code Enforcement Board hearing. This board is empowered to hear evidence in order to reach the findings of fact and conclusions of law for the purpose of resolving cases that come before it. A finding of a violation in any case before us may lead to costs being assessed and a daily fine being levied for violations of the village's code of ordinances. The board is always interested in comments or statements that will help us make a determination in each case, and we are always interested in compliance rather than levying fines. If you have not already done so, please come forward and give your name to the clerk so that we may know you're here. If there is no objection, we will consider at one time all cases involving the same piece of property. Madam Clerk, would you call roll?

Board Member Rodriguez?

Here.

Board Member Hahn? Board member pearl here or member Kanjian was absent board member Berryman is absent board member when consejo is absent chairperson Huber here All right.

Thank you very much. Madam clerk. Is anyone present for first hearing? No, sir All right At this time chairs a chair observes that there have been no appearance by anyone on behalf of the alleged violators in connection with case of Numbers 0126-2, case 0126-20, case 0126-24, case 022647, case 0424268, case 0725183, case 1125368, case 1225390. Mr. Director, the case files on each of these matters contain affidavits attesting to the existence of the code violations alleged and demonstrating proper notice to the alleged violator of tonight's hearing.

They do, Mr. Chair.

All right. At this time, I will entertain a motion for summary adjudication.

Mr. Chair, I move for summary adjudication of all such cases to include a finding of fact and a conclusion of law that a violation exists as charged in the respective notice of violations issued therein and that in each such case the offending party shall correct the violation within the time period specified by staff in the staff recommendations for these hearings and immediately notify the code enforcement officer when the property is brought into compliance. In each such case, if the violation is not brought into compliance within such time period The code enforcement officer may report this fact back to the board in accordance with the board's rules and regulations, at which time a fine is hereby authorized to be automatically assessed against the violator in the respective daily amounts specified in staff's recommendations for tonight's hearing, retroactive to the original compliance deadline, which will constitute a lien on the property of the violator. Further, with respect to each such case, costs in the amount specified in staff's recommendation for tonight's hearing are hereby assessed in order to recoup the village's expenses in prosecuting the violations to date.

Do I have a second? I second. All right, second. Madam Clerk, would you call roll?

Board Member Pearl?

Yes.

Board Member Hahn? Yes. Board Member Rodriguez? Yes. Chair Huber?

Yes. All right. Madam Clerk, is anyone present for second hearing?

No, sir.

Also in tonight's agenda is a matter of staff's request for orders imposing previously adjudicated fines as a penalty for lack of timely compliance with the Board's prior orders. I will now call the penalty cases on the agenda. Case 0825245, Case 1025326, Case 1125364, and Case 1225384. Mr. Director, the files on all these penalty cases contain an appropriate affidavit demonstrating in each such case the violations referenced in your request continue to exist subsequent to the date on which they were to have been corrected in accordance with the previous orders of this Board and that to date no one has contacted Neighborhood Services to advise that these violations have been corrected.

They do and they have not.

All right. I will now entertain a motion to impose fines.

Mr. Chair, I move that in each case currently remaining on the penalty docket for tonight's hearing, each respective violator be ordered to pay the daily fine previously adjudicated and authorized to be imposed against them by prior order of the board, retroactive to the day the violation was to have been corrected. Upon recording, the board's order in this regard will constitute a lien on the property of the violator.

Do I have a second? Second. All right. Madam Clerk, would you call roll?

Board Member Hahn?

Yes.

Board Member Pearl? Yes. Board Member Rodriguez? Yes. Chair Huber?

Yes. All right. Who do we have first for request for relief?

Dwight Mobley, trustee. 9402 Northwest 2nd Place.

All right. If you would state your name and address. Sorry. If you would state your name and address for the record.

My name is Dwight Mobley. 9402 Northwest 2nd Place, Miami Shores.

All right. So we're here for case 111514747-1. I don't have any data. Expired construction permits. The fine amount is $180,380. Please explain why we should accept your offer. OF $2,705.40. OKAY.

I GAVE EXHIBITS BECAUSE I WOULD TRY TO KIND OF JUST KIND OF SHOW THAT IT WAS NEVER IN MY NATURE EVER TO CIRCUMVENT THE MIAMI SHORES BUILDING DEPARTMENT WITH EVER. THAT'S WHY WHEN I GOT INVOLVED WITH THE PROPERTY, I STARTED IN 2015, 5-11, THE FIRST THING I DID WAS PUT A ROOF ON AND STARTED THAT PROCESS. And after that is when I began talking with different architects on which way we would go. I had a lawn maintenance company that was doing service. The property was in very bad. It was an eyesore dish repair. It was falling in, falling apart. And they brought dumpsters in and began cleaning it up. We tried to clean it up. Apparently, during that time, possibly, was when the violation occurred or when we got noticed. Unfortunately, I didn't get the notice. NOW, BUT I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AND WHAT HAPPENED. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, IN 1-7-2016, I OFFICIALLY CONTRACTED WITH T.L. ENGINEERING AND GOT OUR DRAWINGS DONE. ALL OF THE PLANS WERE DONE AND SUBMITTED TO MIAMI SHORE'S BUILDING DEPARTMENT IN APRIL OF THAT YEAR. what kind of troubled me a little bit is this permit. We're being noticed for not having building permits, but once I applied, I didn't get any red flag that there was an issue with the property. And while the process was going, we had to be come out of the building department and go to a planning and zoning board hearing, which was in the same room, because of the nature of the renovations we were doing. We were approved. Subsequently, we got the permit. We started the process. To date, everything is up to date. The property is in great shape. I have a dilemma that we have a pending mortgage foreclosure there. I'm approved with financing to redeem the property out of that. I'm approved at $275,000. I did bring in today the settlement statement, the projected settlement statement. If you want to see it, I'm clearly to show you that. My reason, if I had more to offer, I would offer more. But we only have a small window, and $3,200 is all we have. And I have the preliminary statement for your review if you'd like to see it. That's the reason why the number is that. But I wanted to say to this board, it was never in the nature of me as an individual to ever circumvent the process of permits in the building department or code. And had I known, I would have surely gone to the Code Enforcement Office in January of that year before we had become a lien. I think we became a lien in March. And the next month, we were submitting the plans. Had I known, I would have easily walked over to the Code Enforcement Office and said, listen, here are the plans. We're doing this. We're moving in this state. Can we kind of pull back on this while this process is going forward? So if you'd like to see the statement from the HUD statement showing that. It's just the first page I didn't get. Oh, you got multiple copies. Perfect. Yeah, it's multiple copies. Excellent.

Thank you.

All right, so you're here because you are attempting to refinance the property out of foreclosure. Did you get in front of the judge? Yes. Okay.

Yes.

Okay.

And because of the last meeting we had, and you did hear me at the end of the meeting, that made a huge difference in her decision to give the title.

Yeah, I had the feeling that that would work out.

Mike? Yes, sir. What were the permits?

Maybe it's in here, but what were the permits that weren't pulled?

Oh, it's for total renovation.

Total renovation? Yes, sir. Yeah, because he's got, yeah, I mean the... Great condition Yes Do you know when the... Oh, no, from November 2015. Okay. All right, does anyone have any questions? Go ahead.

I wasn't here last month. Could Mr. Orta or one of the board members bring me up to give me the executive summary on this?

We didn't actually meet with him. It was a not off-the-record, not off-the-record discussion. Public comment. Yeah, there we go, public comment discussion. They were about to have, I think it was the following week, had a scheduled court case for the foreclosure in front of the judge, and they were trying to get in front of us before then, but they had missed the deadline. So we couldn't hear them, but we had made some recommendations to take this information in front of the judge, so that's pretty much where it was left. We didn't discuss any of the remediation or any of the issues.

So this is basically the first time we're talking about it?

Yes, this is exactly the first time we're talking about it. They didn't want to set a precedent. Yeah.

So, Mr. Orta, could you – I didn't get the detail where it listed different – Yeah, you're on the page Let me just take over

The reason you put the roof on was because if you didn't...

Okay, I got involved with the property probably that, maybe March, April, somewhere there. The first thing to do, because the property was, it wasn't habitable. Everything was in it. Unfortunately, it was my aunt living there, but it was a bad situation. so at that time the first thing to do is stop the leaks it stopped the water so the first thing i did was put a roof on that's the first thing and then begin working with the uh architects and starting looking at which way we were going to move with it so at no time miss wilson is your aunt right in no time so was she getting the notices That is where I don't know. According to her, she doesn't remember any notices.

Those cases were closed because the liens were paid.

Okay.

So the notices for this case, were you living in the house?

No, no one was living in the house. They couldn't live in the house.

No, no, I agree. No one was living in the house. Are you a Miami Shores resident yes But not at this time not during this during this time the property wasn't Probably

The question is, were you a Miami Shores resident when you took custody, trustee, whatever the right term is, over the property? Were you living in Miami Shores?

In a different house.

In a different house.

No, I wasn't living in a different house. The plan was to move into the property, but I was not. No, I was living in another address.

The reason I ask that is because if you lived in Miami Shores, you sort of would know what the protocol is for these items. So that's what sways me a little bit. Because if you live in Miami Shores, you should know where you live and what the rules are. But you weren't living in Miami Shores. You took ownership, custody, proprietary right, whatever the correct term is of the property, not knowing full, wholeheartedly what to do. Because if I live in Miami Shores, I know the rules in Miami Shores. You understand? That's what I'm trying to figure out. That's what sways me. Because if you live here and you don't know the rules, that's a serious problem. That's the way I look at it. Cut or drop. But if you didn't live here... I kind of give you the benefit of the doubt, you understand? Because, hey, but that's just me.

Mike, were you working with anybody on this property?

No.

So you gave them until the end of April from November? Because of just the six months or five months, whatever, because of permits. That's right. Okay.

Probably, when you say possession, you mean when I started working? I became probably, it's 2015, probably, I'm going to say April or May.

Of 15 or 16? 15. Okay. So you were... So in April 15, and then you applied for the roof permit in May of 15. Right.

Shortly right after that, I applied for the permit. I knew what, you know, some of the things that needed to be done, and the first thing was the roof.

Yeah, it just looks like they jumped the gun between November and April. So November 2015 and April 16... when they submitted for the permits, right? And then they wind up having to go to PNZ in September of 16. So more than likely what happened is that they started working on the permits, but also just started working on the house.

Assuming that's why.

My next question. In 2015, how much did you pay for this house?

It's family. Okay, so you inherited it? Right, so yeah. So everything that's happening is I'm investing everything into it to make it livable.

Yeah, I understand. I was just curious if there was a transaction that went in addition to all this work that you did to the house. No, no, no. I don't have any more questions. Thanks.

I do. Go ahead, Gary. This is for Mike, if you can help me with this. Sure. I see one case number, and I'm looking at the detail sheet. It's for construction without a permit, and it's from 2016, and we got a $180,000 fine, which is almost 10 years. On the summary sheet, it says that all the permits were paid, issued, closed in 2017.

Yeah, but if nobody came to Neighborhood Services, how are they going to know? That's what I was going to say.

So that's what we're looking at here. Okay.

Normally what we would do is in this, you know, a lot of times in this situation, we will back that number down to the 2017 number. I was thinking. So the fine would be, you know, whatever the... $50 a day from 11-15 to, what is this, 7-17, right? So we could do the math and kind of rule on this and think on that number. Because obviously they did the work, right? They might not even know they got caught is what he's saying. He never received any of the notices. So he was just doing the work. And Mike never communicated with him, so we don't know for sure if they ever knew they got caught.

You are correct, sir. And Mr. Chair, just for the record, we are no longer neighborhood services. We're code compliance. We're back to co-compliance? Yes, we are. Yeah, we're kind of playing hopscotch.

I like neighborhood services better. Do you?

It sounds friendlier. It sounds friendlier. It's for two years. It's for two years. I actually like it slightly more, but I can't do it.

So there's $320,000. Yeah, like I said, we're probably in the neighborhood of $30-something thousand dollars if we want to think upon seeing July 17 as the actual compliance date.

So this $322,000 lien. Those other two have been taken care of.

This is the only one.

That's what I thought Mike was saying, but I just want to confirm because there's some big numbers here too.

So Mr. Mobley, just to make sure, you are the trustee of the Ursula Wilson Land Trust? Okay, so that's how the transfer happened.

Okay. Are you currently living in the house?

Yes.

Do you plan to sell it?

We've had it on the market because of the situation that we fell on, but now that we're kind of coming into, now we're considering continuing to stay here in the shorts.

Since we were in a little finance.

Well, maybe.

When you did have it on the market, what were you asking?

It's on the market for $9.49.

Yeah, it's in the sheet.

Oh, it's on the sheet.

$9.49, $9.99. That's right. It's almost $9.99. I believe you.

All right. Any further discussion?

No. Anyone? Okay.

All right. So we're here for case 111514747-1. The fine amount of, let's just call it $36,500. The amount proposed is $2,705.40. Is that your best and final offer? Yes. Okay. Okay. And how long would you need to pay? 30 days. Okay. 60 days? Yes. Okay. All right. Any discussion? The offer is $2,705.40, payable in 60 days. Do I hear a motion?

I move to accept.

Do I have a second?

I will second that.

All right. Madam Clerk, would you call roll?

Board Member Pearl? No. Board Member Hahn? Yes. Board Member Rodriguez? Yes. Chair Huber?

Yes. All right. Thank you very much. When is your next hearing? Or are you going to the closing? That's the plan. All right.

So from the board, welcome, Nate.

Yeah, it won't be until, what, the end of next week to get the estoppel letter? Yes. So the end of next week, like Friday, for the estoppel letter, and then you can take that to your bank for your closing. Okay. All right? Thank you. All right, Madam Clerk, who do we have next?

We have William Hunter, property address 9417 Northeast 9th Avenue.

All right, if you would approach and state your name and address for the record.

I pulled my back this morning, putting on socks. William Hunter, 9417 Northeast 9th Avenue, Miami Shores.

All right, so we're here for case 680-2021, the fine amount of $73,100. I don't know what the, Mike, what is the case for?

Oh, work without permits.

Okay, work without permits. Okay. All right. The fine amount is $73,100. The amount offered is $7,000. Please explain why we should accept your offer.

Well, I think it's... I wasn't expecting that question. Well, I think it's a fair amount. I've corrected all of the issues. Contractor come in an electrician come in plumber come in everything's brought back to code It never was actually out of code I get well the house was not out of code but because there was work done on the bathroom That had that was the red flag and It was not permitted the work And I was I was I was out of the state during my wife has health conditions. So I'm out of the state with her To work to be done. She has terrible migraines and etc. So I was not aware of The extent of the work that the that the plumber was doing and Then the reason it went so long was we had a PO box up in North Carolina. I do remember seeing one letter saying that that there was code violations but other than that between big going up there and being back here and then I just wasn't taking care of it until we put the house on the market and then found out there was a lien on the house. So I wasn't really aware of the condition of anything until the lien went on the house and then solved all the problems. as far as the violations were concerned, the permits and everything.

All right. And the house is set to close. Do you know how much for it?

Yes, 1-3-2-5. There were two back-to-back bathrooms, old kitchen, old pedestal sinks. All of those came out. A new tile came in, things like that. He could have done the toilet. I don't know. I mean, I only talked to him on the phone. So I really am kind of at a loss for all that he did do or didn't do until I got back.

What was the initial scope of work that you had brought the plumber in for?

to do the tile work, which was the old tile, to do the pedestal sinks that were in both bathrooms, which were done. And then he came up and said that there was work on the toilets because they weren't functioning properly. So then the toilets got done.

And you pulled a permit for the tiling and the new sink?

No, no, no, no, no. The thing just kept going on. Every time I talked to him on the phone, he said, let's do this, let's do that.

Okay. Yeah.

Okay.

That's tough. No, just the photos from the case if you want to review it. Go ahead.

So did you pull the permits or did the contractor pull the permits or was anybody pulling permits? The contractor?

Okay. So... Oh, at the initial time of the work being done, there was a permit pulled.

No, there was never a permit pulled. And have inspections after the fact.

No, that's what I was trying to clarify.

When you said contract, I was thinking you were meaning the contract. Yeah.

Yeah, it was all rectified with the contractor.

He was somebody that we were recommended. He'd do a really good job for you and da-da-da, and so everything went crazy.

I don't know.

Any more? Any other further discussion? All right. Hearing none, we are here for case 680-2021. The fine amount is $73,100. The amount offered is $7,000. Is that your best and final offer?

Yes, sir.

All right. And how long would you need to pay? Month. Okay, so 30 days? 30 days. All right, perfect. The offer is $7,000, payable in 30 days. Do I have a motion?

Mr. Chair, I move that upon receipt of $7,000 within 60 days, that the lien on this property be released.

Excellent. Do I have a second? Second. All right. Madam Clerk, would you call roll?

Board Member Hahn?

Yes.

Board Member Pearl?

Yes.

Board Member Rodriguez? Yes. Chair Huber?

Yes. All right. Thank you very much. Same information, so you should be able to get in and stop a letter by Friday next week.

Okay. All right. I think, just to let you all know, not that it has any bearing, but the house was bought when I was three years old.

I saw that in 1951.

And I grew up in it, and then I left it for about 35 years, and then my mother passed and moved back into it. So it's something to have been in the shores for 70-something years. Man, the community center, the whole thing. North Carolina. That's pretty much where I am. Where I am in North Carolina, almost everybody is either... Not a whole lot of Miami, but a whole lot of Tampa, Arizona, Orlando. Gentlemen.

All right. Thank you very much. Thank you. Madam Clerk, who's up next?

Luis Toro.

All right. If you would approach and state your name and address for the record. And I'm missing a bunch of information. I don't have the case number or nothing here.

How are you? My name is Luis Toro. I'm in 1270 Northeast 98th Street. All right.

So, what is this case about, Mike? Music, loud music. Loud music? Okay, because I have nothing here. All right, loud music. Okay. And the current fine amount is $5,400. The amount proposed is $300. Please explain why we should accept your offer.

Correct. Well, I've lived in the house. We've lived in the house for 12 years, and I've never really had a problem with the property in front got torn down. They tear it down to probably build something else, and they haven't built anything in front. So for the past, I've never had any problems with music or anything. Last year, I did my birthday party, and I did what I normally always do. And then we got a complaint. Immediately put the music down, and then Out of the sudden, you know, I get a lien in the house. So we corrected the music. I'm not putting any more music. So the last thing I want to do is bother my neighbors. You know, I've always been a good neighbor, and I love the shores, and I love, you know, the community living. So it's not my goal to bother anybody. So that's basically it.

So, Mike, for this fine amount, it was irrecoverable, irreparable, and it's multiple offense, or?

Well, it was several costs.

There were several calls from the neighbors, continuous loud music, and the police were called several times.

Okay. Yeah. On one date?

I'm sorry? No, several occasions. Several dates. Yeah. So I guess the last one was that I guess you weren't aware that the music was on because you were inside or something like that?

Yeah, basically, like, I've never done anything different. You know, I never have complaints. Again, I've been 12 years in the house. That day, the police arrived, and obviously, immediately, we put the music down. After that, I never saw the police. I never got a complaint from anybody. I never really celebrated anything else. So much that his birthday is in October. My birthday was in June. That's when we got the complaint. In October, we decided not to do any parties, just because of the fact of not bothering anybody until that house is built or something. And I'm actually trying not, you know, it's my outdoor, so that's why I live in a house, in order to be able to enjoy the outdoors. So I changed my big speakers. I bought my small speakers. So, you know, I'm trying to be as much as a good neighbor as I can be. And I never got a complaint after that. Like, I never got, you know, a letter. I never knew anything else about that, and I never did anything. So for me, it's news that they were complaining after the fact. after the police went to my house.

So was it a daily fine, Mike?

Yes.

Okay.

Oh, I'm sorry. Did we go from a one-time irreparable to a daily? How can you do a daily fine on a loud music?

It was never a repairable or irreparable. We just did a one-time. So it was a one-time? Yeah, because apparently it was a continuous thing, so we just left that as a daily fine. I say continuous because it was several calls.

So the fine was from the first call to the last call?

Yeah, and we were just kind of playing it by ear to see if it continued. And then finally it stopped and we closed the case.

Approximately when was the last time?

Oh, yeah, we received emails, I'm sorry.

When was the last time you had a complaint?

I can't exactly tell you that, but let me see the file. We don't have the emails in the file. Yes, sir, go ahead so

The way that you got the complaint was through emails, and then your team went and investigated with the police to backtrack. I got you.

So when was the last?

It doesn't have the last one. This was probably the last complaint.

Police, for whatever reason, sometimes they don't make reports. No. You know, we like reports.

So we can show up, tell you to turn down, and then leave.

No, and at least they should have the CAD. You should be able to bring up the CAD, so all the calls should be in CAD, in log. But, you know, you'd have to request that from them. Huh?

Right? Their discretion.

No, but all the calls should still be in CAD, right? Because any time somebody calls non-emergency or emergency and they dispatch an officer, that should be in the CAD. But I mean the actual... Yeah, no, I mean the officer has discretionary power, right? He can come and he's going to tell you, turn down the music, you turn down the music. You don't turn down the music. Right.

He comes back and... Maybe on code enforcement issues, we'll ask him to please just make a quick report just so we can put in the file.

Yeah. Well, yeah. I wonder... It would be more difficult, but the better thing to do would be to take an API from the code software to the CAD, and then any keyed items would automatically link over, but that would take some IT...

IT brain power.

Which the company that you buy your stuff from is just going to charge you.

Planning to stay in Miami Shores.

I'm good, I'm good. So you say that this has been quiet for like the last six months or so?

Yeah, and the property's always maintained. Since the case was closed, you haven't had any.

Oh, no, yeah. Yeah, nothing else.

All right. Anyone else? Is the house for sale or rent or refinance?

No, we own it. It's all clean. Okay. We love it. We love the neighborhood. We love the people. All right.

Any further discussion? Hearing none, we are here for the... Unknown case number for the fine amount of $5,400. The amount proposed is $300. Is that your best and final offer? Correct. And how long would you need to pay?

30 days. 30 days. All right.

The offer is $300 payable in 30 days. Do I have a motion?
