Motion: In the case of CEB# 96017874 of the City of Winter Springs, the Code Enforcement Board
has read the complaint filed and the written information prepared by the Code Inspector, and heard
at this meeting the sworn testimony of the Code Inspector, and all other parties involved in this case.
Based on these proceedings, it is moved that Charles A. Jr. and Paula Baker, Atlantic Mortgage &
Inv. Corp, and Russell Mould and Renee Ronick are in violation of Section 4-1 of the Codes of the City
of Winter Springs (20.23 and 20.24, Seminole County) Loose Dog and Defecating in Yard, and that
an appropriate relief order be issued at this meeting.

Motion: In the case of CEB# 96017874 of the City of Winter Springs, Charles A. Jr.& Paula Baker,
Atlantic Mortgage & Inv. Corp, and Occupants: Russell Mould and Renee Ronick having been found
to be in violation of Section 4-1 of the Codes of this City (20.23 and 20.24, Seminole County). shall
come into compliance immediately. If compliance is not achieved immediately, a fine of $25.00 will
be imposed per violation. Furthermore, any and all future recurrence(s) of this violation after
compliance has been achieved will immediately cause the stated fine to be imposed until
compliance is again achieved, as verified by an officer of the City. Since Russell Mould and Renee
Ronick was present and heard the Order of this Board, it is further moved that due notification has
been given as of this hearing date.
Motion by Lyzen. Second by Haines.
Vote: Gray, aye; Amato, aye; Lyzen, aye; Holzman, aye; Schneider, aye; Haines, aye.
Motion passed.
Captain Pieper explained that the word officer in the relief order applies to any employee of the city
that has the ability to act on behalf of code enforcement per City Ordinances. Ex: A Building, Fire,
or Public Works employee could advise White, and based upon their testimony the violation could
be verifiable.
Chairperson Schneider wanted to know how the City's relief order relates to Seminole County's,
Animal Control violation when the county picks up a dog. Captain Pieper explained that in past
practice, Seminole County Animal Control provides a statement to the Code Inspector. She then
asked if photos taken by neighbors would be sufficient evidence. Captain Pieper said the case
would come before the board for their discretion.
The meeting recessed at 8: 10 p.m., and reconvened at 8: 16 p.m.

as to be susceptible to producing disease or danger to the citizens of the city.)
Haines said that it seems like the role of the board is going to be cut substantially. Captain Pieper
said that it may be a possibility that the board will go back to holding meetings every other month.
The question was asked, how did so many of the cases on the agenda close out before the meeting.
White explained that the reason they are maintaining the cases on the agenda is because if the
violation is corrected, removed from the agenda, and then recurs, the case can't be heard for
another month.
Gray said he feels that if someone has a motion and relief order filed against them, then their names
should be listed on the agenda. Captain Pieper said that the agenda should appropriately and
accurately reflect the elements of the case.
20. Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.rn.
