Yeah.

All right, we'll call the board of public.

Yep.

We're called the Board of Public Works to order at this time.

We do have a quorum.

We do have our first item on the agenda is a noxious weed appeal.

This is four seventeen twenty-seven Johnston Drive.

And let me just hold on real quick here.

Is this which one?

I'm sorry, which one is this one?

Is this Zoom?

Okay.

Marina, is this you?

Oh, I think you're on I you think you're on mute.

Nope, there.

Okay.

Can you hear me now?

Yes, can hear you now.

Thank you.

If you um so uh we have uh all the information, all your information that you provided.

If you have anything that you'd like to add before we uh deliberate this, okay, sure.

I'd like to add something.

So basically, I um when we bought the land, uh when my ex-husband Nathaniel Jeremiah Jones and I bought the land, uh we were still married, then the marriage iterated unfortunately with all the abuse and nonsense going on.

And so basically uh the land was this plot of land was kind of you know was um uh a challenge for both of us because he didn't want to even divide it by lore, you know, like fifty-fifty, and he was threatening me all the time when he abandoned me because I filed for divorce only five months after he abandoned me.

He was threatening me that if I ever set my foot on that property while he was away, people would tell him and he would be after me.

So basically he was intimidating me.

And while I still lived in Mantwalk with his visits at nights and whatnot, you know, I was kind of, you know, I couldn't think clearly to a certain extent.

I was intimidated.

When I moved to Milwaukee, I was like filed for divorce.

I started uh filing process petitions, you know, I started fi I started fighting for my rights.

But um with the contentions divorce going on and whatnot, again, I knew there were two things why I didn't update my address immediately, two factors, and why I uh didn't take care of the land immediately.

And though obviously I was an owner at the time.

Number one, this contentions divorce, you know.

I didn't know who the land who would get the land.

I I actually thought that the land would be split 50-50, so I was kind of hesitant about that.

And again, I was still since I was going through a very high Catholic divorce.

I kind of, you know, I was still kind of uh slightly concerned that if I stayed, you know, like contacting you guys, you know, and learning more, he could use that against me because I was pressing he had the attorney.

Well, uh thankfully uh we eventually reached the marital uh settlement, you know, and basically he had to give him the land.

But uh the uh gap of time between the divorce itself and between the day when I first appeared in uh in the city hall and learned all about the deaths and all the stuff about the two deaths, and I'll explain that in a moment.

That gap of time basically for a couple of weeks I was just getting back to normal after the divorce, and then I started putting the quit claim together since I'm not an attorney, you know.

I was going through all the counties, you know, all the county uh websites figuring out how to do it, so it took some time and I'm still now fighting for the land.

Technically, although it's mine, it's not mine, so obviously I'm taking care of it because it's mine, but I'm still fighting with him for the enforcement and whatnot.

So basically I started taking care of the land only now.

As soon as I learned about everything, I understood that the thing was serious, so I immediately hired a person and man to walk, my friend actually.

I paid her and I got the you know the evidence of me paying her.

And I say taking care of the land.

So from now on, whatever happens, whatever agreement you guys reach, I'm going to take care of the land because now you know now that I know basically that.

I can uh do this two things at the same time.

I could work on the enforcement and I can work on that thing.

So I'm going to have the land mode uh uh, you know, sometime in September also, you know, it's coming.

Uh also another thing, another thing, uh about the land, uh about the mowing stuff.

I understand the other like I said, I was intimidated, that's why I didn't update it.

So that's how I would explain the first two deaths.

And uh the last two the last two fines.

And so far as the first fine is concerned, I learned about this fine at first only from his attorney.

And when I learned about this fine from his attorney, I already included uh the uh the uh file I downloaded uh you know in winter, and it's actually available on the Wisconsin e courts, you know, in the Milwaukee County Court archive.

I could always um give you the stamped version too, unless I'm already giving you the stamped version.

So I when I learned about this, I started going to the website, I started looking at the fines, I tried to find the fine.

And all I saw, I couldn't I didn't know where to go online.

All I saw wasn't the fine was basically just the regular taxes.
