(District 3 Commissioner Rusty Johnson ) Background Summary: The property located at 1408 Wanda Street has two separate fine /liens from separate code enforcement actions; they are being presented as a single agenda item so the property owner can be provided a single solution. Case 11 -005: The property was cited on October 27, 2010 by Officer Carmen Delgado for miscellaneous junk and debris and an untagged /inoperable van on the property. The codes in violation were: 115 -3 for trash and debris; 165 -3 for an abandoned or junk vehicle. On February 22, 2011, the Code Enforcement Board issued an order to comply by March 22, 2011 or be fined $100.00 per day per violation. On March 22, 2011 the Code Enforcement Board imposed the accruing fine and lien as of March 23, 2011 for non - compliance of 115 -3 and 165 -3. The new property owner, Coughlin Investment Group Inc., purchased the property for $36,600 on October 15, 2012. Coughlin Investment Group Inc. brought the property into compliance on January 9, 2013. The property is now being maintained. Case 11 -282: The property was cited on November 8, 2011 by Officer Theresa Rodriguez for the installation of a canopy on the left -side backyard without required permits. The code in violation was: 51 -13, Permit Required. On January 24, 2012, the Code Enforcement Board issued an order to comply by February 10, 2012 or be fined $100.00 per day per violation. On February 29, 2012, the Code Enforcement Board imposed the accruing fine and lien for non - compliance of 51 -13. The property was found to be in compliance of 51 -13 on March 4, 2013. The new property owner, Coughlin Investment Group Inc., brought the property into compliance on March 4, 2013. The canopy structure was removed. Coughlin Investment Group Inc., the new property owner, appeared before the Code Enforcement Board on February 25, 2014 and requested a reduction of the fine /lien amount of $204,600.00 for Case No. 11 -005 and $38,500 for Case No. 11 -282. Both liens were foreclosed, but the city's cost remains, as these are special assessment liens. Issue: Should the City Commission reduce the amount of the fine to be paid to the total cost of these enforcement actions, which is $3,541.82? Recommendations: The Code Enforcement Board recommends the fine /lien be reduced to $1,983.92 for Case 11 -005 and to $1,557.90 for Case 11 -282, which is the cost to the City for the enforcement actions. The decision by the Board to reduce the amount was based on testimony and answers from Jack Coughlin, James Thayer, and city staff. Attachments: Code Enforcement Board meeting minutes and photo exhibits Financial Impact: The city would be paid its costs of $3,541.82, which cover both fines /liens.
