I'm watching the clock. I've got 15 seconds. Here we go. Okay. Good day. Today's meeting of the municipal code enforcement board is called to order on September 23rd, 2026. Welcome everyone. Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the United States of America. Please be seated. Agendas of today's meeting are on the wall at the entrance to chambers. Please remember to turn off your cell phones. The municipal code enforcement board consists of seven members who are appointed by the city council. We serve voluntarily. It is this board's intention to promote, protect, and improve the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Clearwater by providing this equitable, effective, and inexpensive method of enforcing certain codes within the city. The board considers new business items in two parts. First, the violation, and then affirmative relief. Formal rules of evidence do not apply. Each side is limited to 15 minutes. The board may grant additional time. All proceedings will be conducted in a calm, civil manner. Individuals who conduct themselves otherwise will be asked to leave. If necessary, they will be escorted from the chambers. Now I ask all who plan to speak to please rise and be sworn in by the clerk. Do you swear firm tell the truth throughout your entire testimony? Thank you. Thank you. Our first order of business is to review and approve the minutes of last month's meeting. May I have a motion to approve the minutes? Motion to approve minutes, Mr. Chairman. I have a second. All in favor? Aye. All opposed? Motion carries. Next on the agenda are the new business items. Our first case on our agenda 3.1 continued from March 25th. April 22nd, May 27th, June 24th, and July 22nd, case 64-26. Fine respondents Kevin and Melissa Hazlitt at 1423 Embassy Drive in violation of code for permits. And issue an order with a compliance deadline and fine if compliance is not met. Is there anyone here to speak on this case? You have the floor. All right. Good afternoon, Code Board. I'm Inspector Kat Reese with the City of Clearwater. This is going to be for 1423 Embassy Drive. Case number 64-26. So this is going to be for one violation. Permits required.
