(Second Reading and Public. Hearing scheduled ,for November 6, 2012, Regular Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (Police Chief Brown) Multiple municipalities in Florida have established an abandoned residential property program as a mechanism to protect residential neighborhoods from becoming blighted through the lack of adequate maintenance and security of abandoned properties. These properties not only create code violations, but they also produce fire hazards, as well as attract children and the homeless. They are taken over by squatters and house criminal enterprises. These issues are compounded when the individual property ownership is being disputed and the property does not have up -to -date contact information. Without a registry, police and code enforcement are unable prosecute or even trespass the individuals involved, leaving the properties subject to further neglect. H. PUBLIC HEARING 9.
