September 19,2008
issued by Code Enforcement
Violation address: 851 Gulfshore Blvd.
The Investigator stated the owner failed to either contest the Citation or request a
Hearing before the deadline expired. Since 30 days had elapsed since June 5, 2008
which was the date of the Citation, the County requested a judgment in the amount
of $500 together with an administrative fee of$5.00 for a total amount of$505.00.
The Respondent stated he did respond. He stated he faxed the information to the
Investigator's office on the evening of the incident; however he was not able to
produce a copy of his correspondence. He informed the Investigator that DOT-
approved vehicles were required only to display the numbers on the outside of the
vehicle. Certification was not required to be carried in each vehicle.
The Special Magistrate stated she was not hearing the merits of the case, but only the
due process issues.
The Investigator acknowledged receiving a copy of the DOT registration form. She
stated she contacted both the County Attorney's office and the Motor Carrier
Compliance Office of the Department of Transportation inquiring if an individual
possessing a DOT registration was exempted from local Vehicle-for-Hire Ordinances.
The answer was, "no." She stated she issued the Citation on June 5, 2008 and had not
heard from the Respondent after that date.
The Special Magistrate verified the incident occurred in May 9,2008, but the Citation
was not issued by Investigator Crowley until after she investigated the representations
made by the Respondent.
The Investigator introduced two emails which were marked as County's Exhibits "A"
and "B" and entered into evidence.
The Respondent introduced a document (copy of Ordinance) which was marked as
Respondent's Exhibit "I" and entered into evidence.
The Respondent claimed Section 142-28(B) of the County's Ordinance did exempt
his vehicles since they were already registered with the Department of State which
has higher standards in order to qualify. He stated he has a license from the DOT
allowing him to operate a vehicle-for-hire service within the State of Florida.
The Special Magistrate asked the Respondent ifhe was attempting to qualify under
the provision which referenced "other activities authorized by the respective license"
in the Ordinance.
The Investigator stated the document produced was not the license but only a
registration report.
