1. Staff Updates – Holiday Lighting Program – Chris Bednar Chris Bednar distributed his 2014-15 Holiday Decorations Program handout. He said that he has worked 23 years for the City. He explained where all the lights would be installed and that this year will be the first time all the City’s holiday lights are LEDs. This will save the City money. He told how and when the process of installing holiday lights in the City begins and how and when the lights are taken down. He described some of the problems encountered, e.g., squirrels do not like the lights. He spoke about the reduced workforce hours and how he managed the scheduling. He answered Board questions. It was suggested that a unique bulb (orange, for example) be used in one location and a contest be established whereby the first person to identify the location of the special bulb receives a prize. Greg Stevens said that Chris Bednar really takes ownership of this project and sets an example for all supervisors. Last year there was a bad batch of LED lights and the manufacturer worked with the City on replacement, due to Chris’ excellent documentation.

Mr. Parks said that Dave Johnson’s hard work paid off. Dr. Frisch said that at the Special Meeting was approximately 50/50 for and against the park.

VIOLATION HEARINGS:

SM(C) 14-623 KRISTINE NADEAU 2451 NW 66 LN (Zoned PUD)

INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE SECTION 303.1 -SWIMMING POOLS.

Mary Ann Mullen, Housing Code Compliance Officer, testified that the violation was a stagnant and unsanitary swimming pool. The pump did not work. Two photos dated March 21, 2014 and May 1, 2014 were admitted into evidence as City's Composite Exhibit A. The property is vacant and the owner lives in Lake Worth. The owner, or anyone to represent the owner, was not in attendance today.

Based on the evidence and testimony presented, the Special Magistrate adopted the findings of fact as set forth in the Order. The violator. who the City designated as the title owner of the real property or the property owner of record, was properly served with notice of these proceedings as required by law. Because the owner allowed a stagnant and unsanitary swimming pool in violation of INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE CODE SECTION 303.1 -SWIMMING POOLS, an Order of Enforcement was thereby warranted. The Special Magistrate ordered five days from today (May 19, 2014) to correct the violation or $100/day fine would be imposed.
