RECOMMENDATION:

July 25, 2017, communication from Jacqueline R. Pinkard requesting that Escambia County provide relief of the Code Enforcement Lien attached to property located at 4311 Erress Boulevard.

Recommendation: That the Board review and consider the Lien relief request made by Jacqueline R. Pinkard against property located at 4311 Erress Boulevard.

On August 21, 2014, the Board amended the "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III. H2. Staff was instructed to review all requests for forgiveness of Environmental (Code) Enforcement Liens to determine if the request met the criteria for forgiveness and allowing the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf if set criteria are met.

After reviewing the request for forgiveness of Liens staff made the determination that the request did not fall within the criteria that would allow the County Administrator to act on the Board's behalf and grant relief, in accordance with the Board's Policy, "Guidelines for Relief from Environmental (Code) Enforcement Special Magistrate Liens" Policy, Section III, H2.

Ms. Pinkard made request to appear before the Board of County Commissioners to appeal the hard costs.

BACKGROUND:

Property located at 4311 Erress Blvd., was noticed for trash, debris, nuisance conditions and mandatory waste service. Owner abated all violations except for mandatory waste service. Hearing was scheduled and owner was served a Notice to Appear. Owner failed to appear. Special Magistrate heard the case and ordered court cost, daily fine in the amount of $50.00 with a compliance date of July 19, 2017.

Mandatory trash service was obtained by the compliance date given by the Special Magistrate so no fines were assessed.

The only amount due in the lien is $1,100.00 court cost.

Ms. Pinkard did not want to appeal the court cost before the Special Magistrate and made request to appear before the Board only.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Court cost: $1,100.00
Daily Fines: $

Total: $1,100.00

This amount does not include the Clerk's recording fees or interest.
