The Code Enforcement Board of Dunedin, Florida, met on October 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM at City Hall, 737 Louden Ave. The meeting was chaired by Vice Chair Jamie Ballard and lasted until 3:12 PM. The board addressed one affidavit of compliance, four old business cases, and five new business cases. A key procedural change was announced: future first orders will not specify a fine amount; instead, the board will determine fines at the second hearing based on gravity, actions taken, and prior violations.
I chair of the Code Enforcement Board for the City of Dunedin. It's 2 o'clock and we're going to get started. If you have a phone or any other digital device, please put it on Do Not Disturb or Silent. If this is your first time here and you'll be speaking, our meetings are transcribed, and it's much easier for the people doing that if you speak directly into the microphone. If you sit back here, it doesn't get picked up. So eat the mic. First item of business is the call to order. Our recently promoted Jamie Ballard is going to uh do that for us, please. For those of you who don't know me, I'm vice chair, Jamie Ballard. Before proceeding, I will set forth the purpose of this board. The Code Enforcement Board is charged with conducting hearings to determine whether a violation of the codes and ordinances of the City of Dunedin has occurred. In order to meet that obligation, all parties or their representatives will be allowed the opportunity to be heard on matters relevant to the alleged violation. All witnesses offering testimony or presenting evidence will be required to swear or affirm that the testimony they offer is the truth. The city, through its staff, will present its evidence of the alleged violation. After the city has completed its presentation, the respondent shall be afforded the opportunity to present its evidence. Any members of the board, the person presenting the city's case, or the city attorney may question any witnesses before the board. The respondent or his or her representative shall also be permitted to question any of the witnesses before the board and present brief opening and closing statements if so desired. The board will then openly deliberate considering only the evidence presented, the law, and common knowledge. By motion duly made and second, discuss and approved by at least four members of the board. In order will be issued. The order will contain the findings of fact, conclusions of law, affirmative action to be taken. The order will be forwarded to the respondent by certified mail. Thank you. The next item on our agenda is an opportunity for citizen input. This is an opportunity for people here to speak to items that are not on the agenda. Is there anyone here who wishes to speak? No. Okay, we'll move on. The next item would be our consent agenda. The first item would be approval of the draft minutes to our September meeting. We were talking briefly before our meeting officially started. We did find one typo. Jamie, would you like to speak to it? Uh sure.
