it is incorrect."

Mr. Thomas E. Godfrey, 703 Sybilwood Circle, Winter Springs, Florida: said, "I received
this Notice signed by Officer Cathy Davidson - in order to observe my Stagnant Pool,
she had to walk to the end of my driveway, unlatch a six foot (6') tall solid wooden gate,
and walk twenty-five (25) yards back to observe my Stagnant Pool. Now - when I got
this Notice, I called the Police Department and - I said who instigated this? And they
said an anonymous neighbor - and I don't know if this Officer, Cathy Davidson did it. I
don't know if she walked back thru there or not, but if she did, my anonymous neighbor
was trespassing to come through there." Brief discussion.
Next, Mr. Godfrey remarked, "1 have been trying to correct this situation because I don't
want a Stagnant Pool either. I have a list of people I have tried to contact."
Captain Tolleson asked, "Did you see anyone on your Property, Sir?" Mr. Godfrey
replied, "No, I didn't." Captain Tolleson continued, "Did you hear testimony by
Inspector Davidson`?" Mr. Godfrey responded by saying, "Yes."
Inspector Davidson stated, "I didn't unlatch anything on his Property. I didn't enter his
Property. When I took a picture of his Stagnant Pool, all I did was take it from the fence
line over. 1 don't know what he's referring to who entered his Property." Further
discussion.
Board Member Dick Crenshaw asked, "Is there any reason you cannot clean it up until
you can find a company to maintain it?" Mr. Godfrey replied, "I can throw in that bottle
of chemicals and I have done that on occasion." Discussion continued.
Alternate Board Member Fair asked, "When is the last time that you yourself put any
kind of chemical in it, if ever`?" Mr. Godfrey replied, "About a week ago." Further
discussion.
Regarding receiving Notices of his Violation, Mr. Godfrey stated, "The only Record I
have of a Notice is this." Inspector Davidson commented, "That's not true." Discussion.
