There was no other business. PUBLIC COMMENT The Special Magistrate asked if there were any public comments. Cynthia Raper, 224 Triplet Ct had two comments. Reference to a lengthy email sent one month and one day ago regarding code violation on the street where the Mayor resides, on Triplet Dr. Ms. Raper had objection to the fact that when she left the meeting last month (July), Carlos Bauer, one of the Lead Compliance Officer's was taunting. her in the hallway. Ms. Raper asked why her name was disclosed, personally to two people where he had to go out and look at violations. Mr. Bauer said to her "what does it matter, what does it matter". Ms. Raper said on the website it states any code violation that are called in or sent in will be kept confidential. She stated it's obvious this man does not know what confidential means. Additionally he (Mr. Bauer) was the compliance officer for 266 NE Triplet Dr and his song to her in the hallway was, it's really a question up in the air as to whether or not a car is actually disables. The last page of the email and the picture that Mark had on the screen for the disabled vehicle, you would either have to be mentally incompetent or blatantly stupid, not to realize that a car with the front bumper hanging off and plants growing out of the engine was not disabled. Ms. Raper stated she was also told that Mr. Bauer personally went out and checked and the homeowner had gotten insurance and brought the registration up to date. Ms. Raper stated that was literally impossible because the vehicle has sat in the driveway for three years, unregistered. There was a picture of the vehicle tag, zoomed in of the yellow registration and she called Tallahassee twice on July 14th, assured her that that was not a vehicle that was in compliance. Mr. Bauer should have clearly seen that instead of flirting with the woman. If he was doing his job he would have clearly seen that the registration did not match tag on the car. Ms. Raper thought Mr. Bauer should be reprimanded and be told to do his job a little bit more thoroughly and not taunt the neighbors and citizens in Casselberry with whether or not he will disclose people's information when he goes out on violations. 91 Page
