the City Manager, and informed him that the site had been cleaned. An inspection of
the site was then made by the City Manager and it was determined that all of the
violations had been resolved.
Staff therefore recommends that the fine be waived at this time, however, if this
violation occurs again, Mr. Pace he fined 5500.00 immediately upon notice of
violation.
Further discussion followed regarding the defendants previous violations.
Mr. Pace arrived at 7:40 p.m. and was sworn in.
Mr. Baird apprised the defendant that the board was in the process of determining
if a fine was appropriate in view of the fact that this is a reoccurring violation.
Mr. Pace stated that he has been in the process of clearing the violations. IIowevcr,
this has taken time due to the fact that he works during the day and therefore, can
only work on cleaning up the site at night and on weekends.
Mr. Pace further stated that other sites currently exist with the same violations as his.
He feels as though he has been singled out.
Mr. Baird asked the defendant if he had moved hls business to Orlando.
Mr. Pace stated he did have a site, however, it would have to be prepared before he
could begin business.
Further discussion followed.
