Debra And Gregory Malenchek
618 Locust Court
Winter Springs, Florida 32708
City Code: 19-302. - Tampering With City Utility System.
Inspector: Code Officer Rich McLaren
Code Officer McLaren, introduced the Case and testified, "On December 12, 2018, 1 was
notified via email from Mike Maximenko, the Utility Billing Manager for the City of
Winter Springs — a situation related to tampering with a city utility meter.
The email stated that the resident at 618 Locust Court had not paid their utility bill, and on
December 5, 2018 the water was shut off due to such. A lock was placed on the meter to
prevent the water service from being turned back on until such payment was received.
Approximately a week later, it was noticed that the residence was still consuming water,
and when they investigated it, it was discovered that the lock was cut off and water service
was turned back on."
While submitting evidence, Code Officer McLaren stated, "This action was not performed
by any authorized city personnel, and to reflect that, I have the statement form that Mr.
Maximenko filled out and the prosecution release, as such. Mr. Maximenko did file a
criminal offence report with the Police Department, providing a statement and a
prosecution release."
Code Officer McLaren continued, "City utility staff did place another lock on the water
meter which was subsequently also cut off. In accordance with City Ordinance 2-60,
subsection (c), the Violation constitutes an uncorrectable Violation and the residence and
City Hall were posted with Notices mailed out for a Code Board Hearing, certified/return
receipt requested — there has been no contact with the resident, at all in reference to this.

Board Member Bill Poe expressed his pleasure having served the City on both the Code
Enforcement Board and in other capacities. Explaining a personal family issue, Board
Member Poe indicated, "I'm going to have to resign my seat on this chair because I don't
believe I will be able to give it adequate time, and I appreciate the City allowing me to do
this, but at this time and point I don't believe I'm going to be able to meet that capacity —
this will have to be my last meeting."
In response, Chairperson Criswell offered sincere gratitude on behalf of the Code
Enforcement Board, the City of Winter Springs, and Seminole County and noted, "I think
a life of civil service has been given from you and you've given back more than you've
taken. We appreciate it."
