CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION <br />Minutes of June 10, 2019 — Regular Meeting <br />Page 13 of 17 <br />had been upheld in the appeal to the Circuit Court, as well. <br />Ms. Amparo Perez, the property owner at 243 Tallwood Drive, addressed the City Commission stating that <br />she was requesting a waiver of the $3,000 lien imposed by the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate. She <br />stated she felt that all the verifications and documentation she had submitted to the City had not been <br />reviewed thoroughly, and that it had never been made clear to her that the City was opposed to her cutting <br />down the tree which was the subject of the violation. She stated that she was retired and living on a fixed <br />income, had never been in trouble with the law, and it would be difficult for her to pay the $3,000; therefore, <br />she was requesting that the City Commission waive the lien. <br />City Attorney Reischmann advised that at the time of imposition of the lien the Special Magistrate had <br />apprised the homeowner of the ability for her to make monthly payments over time if there was a financial <br />issue for her, and that the lien imposed was a payment into the tree bank as reimbursement for loss of the <br />tree rather than an actual penalty. <br />MOTION: Commissioner Hufford moved to approve the Code Enforcement Special <br />Magistrate's recommendation to deny a reduction of the lien imposed in Case <br />No. 18-001124 from $3,000 to $200.06, and to uphold the original lien amount <br />imposed of $3,000 on property located at 243 Tallwood Drive. Motion was <br />seconded by Commissioner Busch. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote <br />4-0. <br />Mayor Glancy announced that the presenter for Agenda Item 6.A. — Presentation on Consumer Protection <br />had arrived at the meeting and that agenda item would now be heard. <br />6.
