CITY OF CASSELBERRY CODS, ENFORCEMENT BOARD MEE ~ LNG AUGUST 14, 2008 PAGE 10 Mr. Flint asked if the City had right to go onto their property. CES Brown stated that 162.8 gives the Board the authority to issue any Order with the force of law to remedy a violation. Katie Reischmann, City Attorney stated when it is a nuisance type condition, then the statute does allow you to abate the nuisance. Phillip E. Weekley asked if an abandoned car in a driveway is considered a nuisance to the City. Discussion. Mr. Flint asked when we tow the vehicle off, the fine ceases at that time but how do we recoup the fines for the service. CES Brown stated the City would record a lien for the cost of the service of removing the vehicle along with administrative costs. Mr. Weekley asked if there are storage fees associated now that it is being towed. CES Brown stated the storage fees would run against the homeowner and they would elect to pay the storage fees and get the vehicle returned or it would be abandoned and there is a procedure for the wrecker companies to get title of the vehicle and then sell it. Charlene Glancy asked if the owner would be notified ahead of time that the vehicle will be towed by a certain date. CES Brown stated the City would ask for a speedy date. Ms. Reischmann stated we do need to notify the owner. CES Brown stated if the Board issues the Order and the copy is served on the owner giving them a week to comply or the order will be enforced, the City has no problem~with that. Discussion. Robert C. Flint made a motion in CEB Case # 08-00348 to issue an Administrative Order to allow the Police Department to tow the abandoned vehicle referenced in the above case by 08/28/2008 in accordance with Code, changed to 2 weeks or in accordance with City of Casselberry Code.
