THIS CASE WENT BEFORE A SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR BAY COUNTY ON FEBRUARY 12TH, 2026, AND WAS FOUND IN REPEAT VIOLATION OF BAY COUNTY CODE 17 DASH TWO IN THE FORM OF A STRUCTURE, TRASH AND JUNK. THE RESPONDENT DID NOT APPEAR AT HEARING PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROPERTY INTRODUCED IN EVIDENCE EXHIBIT A AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. MAGISTRATE ORDERED THE RESPONDENT HAVE 30 DAYS TO COMPLY WITH ORDER OR A FINE OF $1,000 WILL BE IMPOSED ON. COST OF ENFORCEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY ON WHICH A VIOLATION EXISTS, AND UPON ANY OTHER REAL PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY RESPONDENT. A COPY OF THE ORDER IS INTRODUCED IN EVIDENCE. 
          EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT B CONTAINED IN A CASE FILE. BASICALLY JUST THERE USED TO BE A HOUSE THERE. 
          IT WAS REMOVED, DEBRIS WAS LEFT. WE REMOVED THAT IN THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN FRONT OF YOU. SO NOW THERE'S A SHACK WITH SOMEBODY OCCUPYING IT, SOME TRASH JUNK AROUND. A COPY OF THOSE HEARINGS POSTED ON THE PROPERTY IN BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER ON MARCH 5TH, 2026. AND ON MARCH 16TH, INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED AND THE PROPERTY REMAINED VIOLATION. 
          I DID SPEAK TO MR. MURPHY ON THE 13TH, WHICH WAS FRIDAY LAST WEEK. HE WAS EXPLAINING TO ME WHAT WAS GOING ON, THAT THEY'RE IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING IT UP. I BELIEVE HIS BROTHER IS WORKING ON THAT. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, AS OF MONDAY, EVERYTHING'S STILL THERE. NO ENGINEERING APPLICATION OR PERMITS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. THAT'S ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW. MR. MURPHY, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NOT REALLY. I JUST I DID SPEAK WITH THE THE THE GENTLEMAN THERE AND LET HIM KNOW THAT THE PROPERTY I GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE PEOPLE THAT'S THERE BECAUSE SINCE I'M IN CALIFORNIA AND IT IS BEING TORN DOWN, IT HAS PRETTY MUCH ALL THE WAY DOWN NOW TO SHACK THAT WAS PUT THERE. IT WAS PUT THERE WITHOUT MY, MY KNOWLEDGE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE PERMANENT. AND IT HAS BEEN REMOVED AS WE SPEAK NOW. AND THE LAND IS ALSO BEING CLEARED, CLEARED OFF AS WELL. IT HADN'T BEEN REMOVED AS OF MARCH THE 16TH. AS OF MARCH 15TH, 16TH, 16TH, 16TH. NO, IT WAS BEING TORN DOWN AS MARCH 16TH. IT'S BEEN TORN DOWN. I GOT OFF THE PHONE, I TALKED TO I FORGOT WHAT DAY I TALKED TO SCOTT THERE, BUT THEY HAD. IT HAS BEEN REMOVED. I TALKED TO MY BROTHER ABOUT A DAY OR SO AGO AND HE TOLD ME IT'S ALL THE WAY DOWN, PRETTY MUCH ALL THE WAY DOWN. AND IT'S BEEN TAKEN OFF THE PROPERTY BECAUSE THAT'S WHY I CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING PERMANENTLY ON THE PROPERTY ATTACHMENT ATTACHED TO THE PROPERTY RIGHT NOW. SO HE'S IN AGREEMENT WITH ME TO REMOVE ALL THAT DEBRIS OFF THE PROPERTY. 
          WELL, I'M LOOKING AT PHOTOGRAPHS FROM MARCH THE 16TH. THE HEARING, PREVIOUS HEARING WAS CONDUCTED ON FEBRUARY THE 12TH. AND AT THAT TIME, YOU WERE GIVEN 30 DAYS TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE ORDER THAT COMPLIANCE DID NOT OCCUR. SO THAT'S WHERE WE ARE. I'M NOT HERE TO DEBATE WHETHER IT'S DOWN NOW OR NOT, BUT YEAH, I DIDN'T RECEIVE I DIDN'T GET THE INFORMATION IN TIME TO TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THE INDIVIDUALS WHO REMOVED THAT PROPERTY. BUT IT HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN NOW AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AS FAR AS MARCH 16TH, I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY IF IT WAS TAKEN DOWN AT THAT TIME, BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT IT HAS. IT'S TAKEN DOWN LAST WEEK. NO, MARCH 16TH WAS NOT LAST WEEK. WAS IT MONDAY? MONDAY. MONDAY. YEAH. 
          [00:10:06]
SO YOU'RE YOU KNOW, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN TAKEN DOWN IF YOU'RE IN CALIFORNIA? WELL, NO, I'M GOING BY WHAT HE'S TELLING ME ON THE PHONE THAT IT'S BEEN TAKEN DOWN. AND I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH HIM ABOUT AN HOUR AGO. HE SAID ALL THEY GOT TO DO NOW IS HOLD THE LUMBER AWAY. SO I CAN'T. ARE YOU RIGHT? YOU KNOW, I DON'T I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S DOWN UNLESS I REQUEST A PHOTOGRAPH. WELL, BUT I HAVE HAD THAT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF HAVING ALL THAT REMOVED NOW AS WE SPEAK. WELL, I WASN'T AWARE. I'M NOT AWARE OF THE. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE DATE OF THE MARCH 16TH DEADLINE. OKAY. OR ARE YOU SAYING I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT, SIR, DID YOU GET A COPY OF THE ORDER? I GOT A COPY AND A CALL AS SOON AS I GOT A CHANCE TO SEE IT. 
          OKAY. WELL, THE ORDER WAS ENTERED ON THE 12TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, AND THAT ORDER SAYS THAT THE RESPONDENT HAS 30 DAYS FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE TO TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS, AND THAT INCLUDES DEMOLISHING THE STRUCTURE. AND AS OF MARCH THE 16TH, IT WAS NOT DEMOLISHED. 
          AND THE DEMOLITION DEBRIS WAS NOT HAULED OFF. SO. I'M GOING TO BASED ON. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE? NO, IT'S JUST THAT I WASN'T MY THING WAS, I WASN'T AWARE OF THAT TIMEFRAME AND WHEN I DID WAS AWARE OF IT, I MADE SURE I GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE CODE ENFORCEMENT AND FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON AND TRY TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AND NOT, AND I WORKED AS FAST AS I COULD FROM HERE. WELL, YOU KNOW, THE THING IS, THE ORDER SAYS DO IT BY, YOU KNOW, 30 DAYS FROM THE FEBRUARY THE 12TH. SO. I'M GOING TO FIND THAT YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF THE, THE ORDER OF FEBRUARY THE 12TH, BASED ON THAT, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT IT'S. A FINE OF $1,000 WILL BE IMPOSED AND THAT THE COUNTY IS DIRECTED OR AUTHORIZED TO ENTER UPON THE PREMISES AND CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS THAT THEY FIND TO EXIST AT THE TIME OF THEIR ENTRY. THEY CAN EITHER DO IT OR BY THROUGH THE COUNTY STAFF, OR THROUGH THE HIRING OF A CONTRACTOR TO ABATE THE VIOLATION, THE FINES, AND THE COST OF ABATEMENT, WHICH WILL AT LEAST THE. THE COST OF ABATEMENT WILL BE IMPOSED AT A FINAL HEARING AND UPON THE RECORDING OF THE ORDER IN THE RECORDS OF BAY COUNTY, THAT SHALL BECOME A LIEN UPON THE REAL PROPERTY UPON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS OCCURRED, THE COUNTY COMMISSION IS ENTITLED TO CORRECT OR COLLECT THESE COSTS BY VIRTUE OF THE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT COLLECTION ACT AND. CHAPTER 21 OF THE CODE. OKAY. 
          SO ARE YOU SAYING THAT I'M GOING TO RECEIVE A $1,000 FINE AND AND THE PROPERTY CAN BE RECEIVED NOW, ARE YOU SAYING IF THAT IF IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT DOWN BEFORE THE NEXT HEARING, THEN IT I'M SAYING I'M SAYING THAT YOU HAVE BEEN FINED $1,000 AS OF TODAY. OKAY. AND THE THE COUNTY IS GOING TO GO OVER THERE. AND IF THEY HAVE TO HIRE SOMEBODY TO GO IN THERE AND CLEAN UP THIS MESS, THEN THE COST RELATED TO THAT EFFORT, CLEANING UP THE MESS IS GOING TO BE CHARGED TO YOU ALSO. AND ALL OF THAT WILL BE REFLECTED IN A FINAL HEARING ON THIS MATTER AT SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. I DON'T KNOW HOW QUICKLY THEY CAN GET A CONTRACTOR OVER THERE TO TEAR IT DOWN AND AND HAUL THE DEBRIS AWAY. BUT ONCE THEY GET THAT DONE, THEN WE'LL HAVE A FINAL HEARING TO SEE WHAT THOSE COSTS WILL BE. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. OKAY. 
          THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU SIR. OKIE DOKIE. DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER PHONE CALLS OR IS THAT IT? THAT WAS IT. OKAY. SEE? I'M A. OH, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. 6723 SHORT STREET. THIS WILL ALSO BE PRESENTED BY INSPECTOR SCOTT FOR JUST HOW SHORT IS THE STREET? VERY SHORT. AFTERNOON

ON THAT DATE OF THE HEARING, A DEMOLITION PERMIT WAS OBTAINED BY SMILEY'S AND IT IS GONE AS OF MARCH 11TH. WE ARE POST-HEARING COMPLIANCE. OKAY, AS TO CASE NUMBER C 2024 3197, YOU'LL FIND THAT THE PROPERTY HAS BEEN BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE IN A TIMELY FASHION. IN THIS CASE IS CLOSED. BRING US TO ITEM C ON THE AGENDA. OKAY. CASE NUMBER C20260016. THE ADDRESS IS 1141 FOUR CIRCLE, SOUTH FORT, FLORIDA. THIS CASE WENT BEFORE. SORRY, MY NAME IS TIM JUSTICE FROM BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT. I'LL BE PRESENTING THIS CASE IN LIEU OF INSPECTOR OR INVESTIGATOR TONY BRUNI. THIS CASE WENT BEFORE THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR BAY COUNTY ON THE 12TH OF FEBRUARY 2026 AND WAS FOUND IN VIOLATION OF BAY COUNTY CODE SECTION 17 DASH TWO IN THE FORM OF DERELICT VEHICLES, DERELICT WATERCRAFT, JUNK AND UNSCREENED PERSONAL PROPERTY. THE RESPONDENT WAS NOT PRESENT FOR YOUR HEARING. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT A AND ARE INTRODUCED INTO THE CASE FILE. THESE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM MAGISTRATE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO YOU THAT DAY. THIS IS LOOKING BACK AT THE ADDRESS. 1140 ONE FOURTH CIRCLE. YOU CAN SEE THE JUNK HERE IN THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPH ON THE TRAILER. FRONT YARD, RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE FRONT YARD, THE JUNK BEHIND THE TREE IN BETWEEN THE MOBILE HOME AND THE TREE. ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPH OF THE JUNK ON THE TRAILER AND IT LOOKED BEHIND THE TRAILER. 
          THERE IS A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE WITH SOME JUNK PILE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RV. IT'S A BETTER PHOTOGRAPH OF THAT JUNK BETWEEN THE PRIVACY FENCE AND THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE THAT IS DERELICT AS WELL. AND A CLOSE UP VIEW OF WHAT IS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. THE MOBILE HOME SITS TO THE LEFT OF THIS AND THERE IS THE JUNK AND TRASH AND THINGS PILED UP ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, THE MAGISTRATE ORDERED. THE RESPONDENT WOULD HAVE TEN DAYS TO BRING THE PROPERTY INTO COMPLIANCE, WHICHEVER COMES FOR AN INITIAL FINE OF $200, AND A DAILY FINE OF $25 MAY COMMENCE FOR EACH AND EVERY DAY. THE VIOLATION DESCRIBED HEREIN CONTINUES PAST THE 10TH DAY FOR A PERIOD OF 20 DAYS, OR UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST REAL PROPERTY ON WHICH VIOLATION EXISTS, AND UPON OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE VIOLATOR. A COPY OF THIS ORDER HAS EXISTED, WAS INTRODUCED AS EXHIBIT B AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. ON FEBRUARY THE 23RD, INVESTIGATOR CONDUCTED A RE INSPECTION. THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN VIOLATION. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE JUNK ON THE TRAILER DISAPPEARED, OR THE JUNK TO THE LEFT OF THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. HERE IN SLIDE TEN REMAINED. THE JUNK AND DERELICT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF THE MOBILE HOME REMAINED HERE IN SLIDE 11. SLIDE 12. YOU SEE SOME JUNK TO THE RIGHT OF THE VESSEL THAT'S IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH. AND SOME JUNK. IT LOOKS LIKE TRASH THAT'S PILED UP AROUND THE PRIVACY FENCE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME JUNK AND MAYBE SOME FURNITURE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, CLOSE TO THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOME JUNK BEHIND THE VESSEL AND IN FRONT OF THE MOBILE HOME. WHAT IS THAT ON TOP OF THE IT'S IT'S A SHED BACK THERE OR, OR A LIKE A POLE BARN. IT, IT LOOKS LIKE A BAG OR SOMETHING. IT IT DOES. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S SOMETHING IN THE CAMERA, BUT IT DOES LOOK LIKE A WADDED UP TARP. IT'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH. A COPY OF THE NOTICE HERE WAS POSTED AT THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER ON THE 5TH OF MARCH. ON MARCH 16TH, AN INSPECTION WAS COMPLETED AND THE PROPERTY REMAINED IN VIOLATION. I CONDUCTED THIS RE-INSPECTION FOR INVESTIGATOR BRUENING. AGAIN, THIS IS LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE PROPERTY. 1140 ONE FOURTH CIRCLE. IT LOOKS LIKE SOME MORE JUNK HAS BEEN ADDED AROUND THE TREE, BETWEEN THE TREE AND THE BOAT, AND BEHIND TO THE RIGHT OF THE BOAT. PIECE OF FURNITURE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE FRONT YARD. THE RECREATIONAL VEHICLE IS NO LONGER IN THE ALLEY AND 
          [00:20:03]
SOME. I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S A PRIVACY FENCE OR NOT. IT JUST LOOKS LIKE SOME TARP SILKSCREEN PLACED ALONG THE FRONT AND THE JUNK BETWEEN THE TREE AND THE MOBILE HOME HAS GROWN. AND THAT CONCLUDES THE SLIDESHOW. THAT IS OUR THAT CONCLUDES MY TESTIMONY AT THIS TIME. OKAY. 
          ALL RIGHT. BASED ON THE PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE I'VE SEEN INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AND THE TESTIMONY PROVIDED IN THIS MATTER, YOU'LL FIND THAT THE RESPONDENT WAS GIVEN ADEQUATE TIME TO CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS AND FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE ORDER. THEREFORE, CODE ENFORCEMENT IS AUTHORIZED BY STAFF OR THROUGH A CONTRACTOR HIRED BY THE COUNTY TO ENTER UPON THE PROPERTY AND ABATE ANY AND ALL VIOLATIONS IDENTIFIED IN THE ORDER. THE. 
          ISSUE OF A FINE AND THE COST OF ABATEMENT WILL BE ADDRESSED AT A FINAL HEARING. UPON THE RECORDING OF THAT ORDER ENTERED AT THE FINAL HEARING, IT WILL BECOME A LIEN UPON THE PROPERTY ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS OCCURRED, AND ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENT. THE COUNTY COMMISSION IS AUTHORIZED TO ASSESS THESE COSTS CONNECTED WITH THE ABATING OF THE VIOLATION BY VIRTUE OF THE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT COLLECTION ACT AND CHAPTER 21 OF THE CODE. THAT BRINGS US TO ITEM ON THE AGENDA. KCE20251956. THE ADDRESS IS 3706 HAYLEY LANE, TIM JUSTICE, BAY COUNTY CODE ENFORCEMENT. I WILL BE PRESENTING THIS CASE IN MY INVESTIGATIVE REPORT AND PHOTOGRAPHS. FOR THE RECORD, A COMPLIANCE. THIS IS A FINAL HEARING FOR 3706 HAYLEY LANE. A COMPLIANCE HEARING WAS HEARD BY THE SPECIAL MAGISTRATE FOR BAY COUNTY ON THE 8TH OF JANUARY 2026. THE MAGISTRATE FOUND THE RESPONDENT FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE ORIGINAL ORDER FROM THE FIRST HEARING THAT WAS SIGNED ON NOVEMBER THE 24TH, 2025. THE RESPONDENT WAS NOT PRESENT FOR THIS HEARING. 
          PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROPERTY ARE INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT A AND ARE CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE. JANUARY THE 5TH. IF YOU REMEMBER IT, YOUR COMPLIANCE HEARING ON JANUARY THE 8TH. THIS IS 3706 HAYLEY LANE. THE EXCUSE ME, THE VIOLATION WAS OVERGROWTH TO THE FRONT OF THE MOBILE HOME. THE MAGISTRATE DIRECTED THE STAFF TO ABATE THE NUISANCE AND ALL INCIDENTAL COSTS OF ENFORCEMENT TO CONSTITUTE A LIEN AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY ON WHICH THE VIOLATIONS EXISTED, AND UPON ANY OTHER REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE VIOLATOR. 
          ANY FINES WILL BE ADDRESSED AT THE FINAL HEARING. A COPY OF THE ORDER IS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE AS EXHIBIT B AND CONTAINED IN THE CASE FILE ON THE 22ND OF JANUARY 2026, A NOTICE OF INTENT WAS SENT CERTIFIED AND REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY OWNER STATING THAT WORK WOULD BEGIN ON OR AFTER FEBRUARY THE 9TH. ON THE 28TH OF JANUARY THIS YEAR, 2026, A PRE-BID INSPECTION WAS CONDUCTED. A COPY OF THE NOTICE OF INTENT WAS POSTED ON THE FRONT FENCE OR THE FRONT WALKWAY. AND AGAIN, THIS IS THE FRONT OF THE MOBILE HOME. YOU CAN SEE THE NOTICE OF INTENT WAS POSTED. THIS IS THE NORTH SIDE OF THE MOBILE HOME. YOU CAN SEE THE OVERGROWTH. AND WE FINALLY WALKED THE PROPERTY. THIS IS THE BACKSIDE OF THE MOBILE HOME. AND THIS IS LOOKING BACK TOWARD THE ACTUAL STREET. THIS IS LOOKING BACK WEST. THE VEHICLE IN THE TOP IS IN THE DRIVEWAY ON 3706. ON FEBRUARY, FEBRUARY THE 11TH, I CONDUCTED A PRE ABATEMENT INSPECTION WITH THE CONTRACTOR. WE WALKED THE PROPERTY.

          ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER, I SNAPPED THIS PHOTOGRAPH TO THE FRONT OF THE MOBILE HOME, THE NORTH OF THE MOBILE HOME, THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE MOBILE HOME. THAT OVERGROWTH YOU SEE THERE IS ON THE PROPERTY LINE, NEIGHBOR'S PROPERTY AND THE OVERGROWTH IN THE BACKYARD HAD BEEN CUT ON FEBRUARY THE 18TH, 2026, A NOTICE OF FINAL HEARING WAS SENT CERTIFIED AND REGULAR MAIL TO THE PROPERTY OWNER USING THE ADDRESS PO BOX 9821, NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, NEVADA FROM THE BAY COUNTY PROPERTY APPRAISER'S DATABASE.

          [00:25:01]
2026, A COPY OF THE NOTICE WAS POSTED AT THE BAY COUNTY GOVERNMENT CENTER. THAT CONCLUDES MY TESTIMONY AT THIS TIME. OKAY, BASED ON THE TESTIMONY I'VE HEARD IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS INTRODUCED INTO EVIDENCE, I'M GOING TO FIND THAT THE RESPONDENT WAS GIVEN ADEQUATE TIME TO CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS, FAILED TO DO SO, AND THE COUNTY CAME IN AND CORRECTED THOSE VIOLATIONS AT A COST OF $250. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A AN INITIAL FINE OF $300 AND THE DAILY FINE OF $50 RUNNING FOR A PERIOD OF 25 DAYS FOR A TOTAL OF $1,250. THE PROPERTY HAS NOW BEEN BROUGHT INTO COMPLIANCE BY THE COUNTY, BUT THE RESPONDENT IS HEREBY ORDERED TO PAY THE $250 CLEAN UP FEE, THE INITIAL FINE OF $300 AND THE DAILY FINE OF $1,250. UPON THE RECORDING OF THIS FINAL ORDER AND THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF BAY COUNTY, IT. THE COST LEVIED AGAINST THE RESPONDENT WILL BE A LIEN AGAINST THE REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OWNED BY THE RESPONDENT HERE IN BAY COUNTY. THE COMMISSION IS ENTITLED TO ASSESS THESE COSTS BY VIRTUE OF ABATING THE. OR IN CONNECTION WITH ABATING THE VIOLATION BY VIRTUE OF THE UNIFORM ASSESSMENT COLLECTION ACT AND. CHAPTER 21 OF THE BAY COUNTY CODE. BRINGS US TO ITEM F ON THE AGENDA CASE NUMBER C20251055. THE ADDRESS IS 3110.

YOU DID GIVE HER 60 DAYS TO COME THROUGH, BUT WENT BACK ON THE 16TH. AFTER 30 DAYS. THEY NOW HAVE A PRIVACY FENCE ERECTED AND ALL THE STUFF THAT WAS ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE FENCE HAS BEEN REMOVED. I. AND THERE WAS ONE PANEL MISSING THAT YOU COULD TELL THAT THEY HAD SIGNIFICANTLY GOTTEN RID OF. 
          THEY DIDN'T PUT THE FENCE UP TO HIDE THE STUFF. IT'S IT'S IT'S ALL GONE. SO I DEEMED THE PROPERTY WAS IN COMPLIANCE AND CLEARED IT OUT. OKAY.
