It's saying that it is saying that invalid invalid meeting at his end.

Thank you.

Um, and I know that um the email has already been received um by me.

So and everyone is CC'd, all the parties with regard to this.

And okay.

Um so uh the hearing is being recorded as part of the official record.

This is an administrative hearing and will be heard by hearing officer um Elizabeth Byer regarding a civil penalty issued by code enforcement.

This hearing is in the matter of Jonathan Belfort, RJC case number WCAH 2025-000045.

In code enforcement case number W V I O P L A 24-0100.

Anyone who is testifying, please raise your right hand.

Do you solemnly swear or affirm the evidence or testimony you will give in this matter now pending?

Shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

I do.

Yes, I do.

I do.

Thank you.

Ada.

Um, could you uh please uh work on the respondent's name when you get a chance yes?

And thank you.

Um Mr.

Belfort, noting that you're visually impaired.

If there is anything that you cannot see, please speak up and let the court know.

Uh not that there may be any particular thing, but just let us know if there's any difficulty, okay.

I'm I'm more concerned about uh my witness being able to get on here and take an oath.

Just remember that he can come in um in uh by telephone if he's not able to do it in any other fashion.

It's less preferable.

Okay, he did try.

Okay.

It's the same login for all of us.

Um, so thank you.

With regard to code enforcement's case, um, I don't know whether Mr.

Farmer or uh is it is it Gissinger or Geisinger?

Sorry.

It's Giesinger.

Giesinger, Mr.

Giesinger, and and I should know that.

I my apologies.

Mr.

Giesinger, um, I'm not sure who it is from code enforcement.

Could someone walk us through the timeline with regard to this case, please?

Right.

So um basically where we're at now.

So he was issued um, you know, a warning.

We we started this case.

I guess that would be summer of 2024.

Issued the warning, issue the penalty, the hearing.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, I hate to interrupt, but I just received a message that uh Mr.

Wilson is unable to lie in, won't let him in.

That's that's a message I just received.

And I'm gonna have trouble proceeding.

I'm gonna have trouble proceeding with this hearing if my witness and my um basically my um database of exhibits is is can't be presented.

Uh Mr.

Uh Belfort, just to let you know, your witness is able to come in by telephone if he wishes.

Could you um when we get to that juncture?

Often in court cases, witnesses tend to be excluded prior, only parties are often allowed.

Um, and witnesses are often excluded until their turn comes.

So I was not aware that this was a uh law uh court of law.

I was under the impression it was an administrative hearing.

It is, and it's both again again.

I am visually impaired.

It's he's saying, won't let me in correct password.

Okay, well, um, thank you for sharing that.

Why don't we do this?

What is your proffer of evidence?

In other words, what is your witness coming to do?

Well, he's got he's he's a witness to numerous events and facts.

And then an example, sir.

Give you an example.

Yes, okay.

Uh he was a witness to the uh person that presided over the board of adjustments meeting that I had a conversation with him several days after the hearing, where he's told me, I I said, you know, we're gonna pursue this, and he said to me, I don't care, I do what I'm told.

That's he's a direct witness to that.

He was standing right there when that was said.

So that's just an example.

He's also a witness to the vast amount of evidence of uh financial crimes and frauds upon my title, which further add to the extenuating circumstances already presented in this case.

Um Mr.

And what we're gonna do with this juncture is as mark and move all of the evidence into this case.

So even though some of your exhibits may not be relevant, we're just gonna move all of those into evidence.

With regard to what you've just proffered, what you've just offered with regard to this particular witness, is his name um uh what is his name, sir?

Jeffrey Merritt Wilson.

Jeffrey Merritt Wilson.

Um what you've just indicated to me is that there may be in your um argument that there's potential for fraud collusion crimes, um, with regard to the title, some difficulty with the board of adjustment, those are outside the purview of what I am looking at today as the court with regard to this specific case.

Okay, well, ma'am, I just say this.

Um I strongly object to proceeding with this hearing without my witness and without access to my exhibit and the material contained within within them.

Um I do have access, the court has access.

Um I anticipate um Mr.

Giesinger and Mr.

Farmer, do you also have access to all of the exhibits with regard to this case presented by Mr.

Belfort?

Are you do you have those?

Yeah is that part of your file?

Yes, okay.

All right, I've already so we all have copies of your evidence, sir.

Okay, I've already stated that I'm visually impaired.

I do not have an internet connection up here, and I was relying on Mr.

Wilson's assistance and his familiarity with all the aspects of this to um assist me in my presentation.

And without with that, without that, I'm at a distinct disadvantage, and I wish to put that on the record.

So noted.

Thank you.

And I have requested sending Mr.

Wilson login links on numerous occasions leading up to this hearing.

So noted.

All right.

Um back to you, Mr.

Farmer, walking us through the timeline with regard to this case, please.

So we had the uh first administrative penalty hearing in December of 2024.

Um could could could you possibly back up, please, with regard to um if you if you happen to have there was a building permit.

Um yeah, I mean and then there was some decision with regard to you're just trying to keep it simple, but going back further, we've been dealing with him since 2017 in this matter.

And so I worked with him for a long period of time to get the original building permit.

So he had gotten that.

We had closed our case.

Uh seems like uh building elected not to renew his building permit for lack of um progress.

And then that's when we kind of jumped back in.

And since the two-year timeline had passed, we had started a new violation case.

Okay.

So then he got the first administrative warning and then obviously followed it up with the penalty.

Um we didn't have the hearing until um December of 2024.

Uh the hearing officer, we um disagreed with her um order saying that he just had to um reapply by I think February, right?

And that's not really we find that that's not really a um result or how we're gonna result like applying for a building permit isn't really result anything.

You got to obtain one.

Um, so that was appealed to the board of adjustment.

The board of adjustment heard it in the spring of 2025.

Um, they reversed the hearing orders uh the hearing officer's original order and um wanted all items removed from the property within 25 days.

Mr.

Belfort didn't appeal that to the second additional court.

They upheld the Board of Adjustments ruling and um closed out their case.

And then so we uh restarted the case.

Uh we sent out the second penalty because we also wanted to move forward with the um notice of violation report with the recorder's office, and you have to give a notice for that.

So we went with the second penalty, knowing that there is kind of a loophole that all penalties can be appealed, even though we already went through this and it went through the whole process, the whole appeal process.

So nothing's really changed.

And so there we're here we are.

Okay.

All right.

Um, and I did note um that there was uh and Mr.

Belfort, let me make sure you uh uh have a just a moment, Mr.

Gasinger.

You have an entire copy, the 30 pages from code enforcement, correct, sir.

I mean, yes, I did uh I don't know if it was 30 pages, but okay.

Yes.

Okay, as okay, thank you.

Um Mr.

Giesinger.

I just wanted to add to Brian's comments to say you're you're aware that there another issue with this case is that they've already exceeded the amount of time they can live in an RV with the building permit.

So even if they were to obtain a building permit, it it wouldn't allow the continuance of RV living.

So right, right.

Understood.

Yeah, thanks.

And uh Mr.

Belfort, uh, you've been living on the property.

Is it since 2017?

No, no, that is inaccurate, and my dealings with Mr.

Farmer did not begin in 2017.

Um, I moved on to the property in 2018.

Okay.

And so yeah, and uh there was a uh, and this is just leads to the background of this whole thing.

Uh it Mr.

Belfort, if this is not your opportunity yet.

Okay, okay.

I'm just trying to get dates.

Um, I I and and you will have your opportunity in a bit.

Um I wanted to have a timeline with regard to that.

Thank you for sharing.

You've been on the property since at least 2018, and code enforcement is right.

Our first complaint was in um June of 2018.

Okay.

And by the way, we continued to receive complaints, so that was another factor in issuing a second bounding.

Right.

Okay.

All right.

Um Mr.

Farmer, anything else?

Um, no, that's it.

Just say that we have we had that original complaint of 2018.

We worked with him for a year.

He didn't get that building permit until June of 2019.

So it was just extension after extension.

So we tried working with him for a year before any penalty was issued.

Yeah, the first penalty was only issued after that building permit did get expired, and we had to resume enforcement.

Okay.

All right.

Anything else from code enforcement?

No.

No, just essentially at this point, we're just enforcing the board um boa's action order.

I mean, that's where we're at.

We got to enforce their corrective action.

All right.

Okay.

Um and uh the photos taken on November 19th of 2025.

Um, who took those photos?

Uh, I did.

It would have been me.

Okay.

With three, and those I think are maybe page 22 or thereabouts in the the hearing packet that code enforcement provided um indicating the current condition with regard to that they're still there.

Yeah, yeah, there's items still on the property on the parcel.

Okay.

All right.

Anything else from code enforcement?

No.

All right.

Mr.

Belfort.

My understanding is is that you've been on the property since 2018.

And the most recent photos from code enforcement of November 19th, 2025, indicate basically perhaps the same condition.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay.

Do I uh can I proceed with my uh this is this is now your opportunity.

Okay.

Okay.

Um first I'd like to um reassert my objection to proceeding without my witness and access to the database of my exhibits, which puts me at a distinct disadvantage in this matter.

Thank you, Mr.

Belfort.

With regard to your database, it is part of the court record.

All of the people here currently have access to your index of exhibits and your exhibits.

Yes, I I'm just letting it be known that I was relying on this due to my visual impairment at this point.

That um to get into more detail with some of it.

I was relying on Mr.

Wilson, but I I've I voiced my uh I voiced my objections.

I've put it on the record, and I'm I'm going to proceed because I do not want you to arbitrarily rule against me because I refuse to participate in this.

So under duress, I will continue with with this with my presentation.

Um let me first say that the conditions of my building permits uh came with a clause in there that said uh there were if there were extenuating circumstances.

I want to put that in there before I proceed with uh my presentation.

Um it took it does take some time to get building permits, and I don't think it was unreasonable for all the plans and going back and forth and everything to take almost a year.

So in November of 2019, I received approval of my submitted permits.

I was told by email, and I can produce the actual emails telling me uh suggesting to me that the rates were about to go up, and that you know, like in a week, I believe it was, and uh I I should would really be in my benefit to do it now, and now remember this is November 28th.

I'm up at almost six thousand feet above the snow line, and so at the start of winter is when my permits started.

Okay, and then uh let me get this correct, Mr.

Belfort.

This was about five years ago or so.

Yes, yes, okay.

Hold on, Mr.

Belfort.

Thank you for that.

Um, my understanding is we now perhaps have your witness present.

Yeah, Merrick Wilson.

Okay, yeah, very good.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Jeffrey Merritt Wilson.

Um my understanding is you're coming in by telephone, sir, right?

Yes.

Okay.

So my understanding also is that you're a witness for Mr.

Belfort.

If let us swear you in so that we can begin this process, um, if you need to testify after Mr.

Belfort, we'll hear your testimony at that time.

In the meantime, um, unless there's any objections by code enforcement, we will uh have you sit in on the hearing.

No objections, no.

Okay, all right.

Um, Mr.

Wilson, could you please raise your right hand?

Okay, what what's the so what would it look for?

Are you testifying today or not?

Yes, I am.

Yes, I am, but I want to know what jurisdiction I'm testifying under.

Is this the United States of America?

Give me the good minister.

I'm gonna testify.

Mr.

Wilson, I'm going to swear you in.

If you care to be sworn in, raise your right hand.

We're gonna move forward with this.

Mr.

Belfort is in the midst of testifying, and if you interrupt me, we're going to put you on mute.

So solidly swear the testimony you're about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

So help you God.

Yes.

Thank you.

Um, Ada, if you could please uh correct his name.

Okay.

And so it's Jeffrey Jeffrey Wilson, W-I-L-S-O-N.

Is that correct, sir?

Jeffrey Merritt Wilson.

Yeah, I'm not sure that we have enough room.

The um Zoom does not allow us to exceed so many.

All right, Mr.

Belfort, please continue.

Okay.

Um I was at uh November, the winter, the beginning of winter, when I was told it would be in my benefit to start my permits now and pay for them before the rates went up, which seemed reasonable to me, and I did.

So November 28th, so we basically say December.

Hard winter, bad weather, no chance of any work being done during that time, but that's that's living up here.

Brings us to March 12th 2020.

A state of emergency was declared both nationally and statewide by Governor Sislac.

At that time, there was a stay of all statute of limitations.

Okay, and it was for the period plus 30 days, which came out to right about three years.

Very approaching three years.

Also, during that time, there was a moratorium on evictions, further reinforcing the state's concern with people being displaced off their properties or out of their homes.

Um, so I would say that during that period it was stayed.

Basically, I'm saying that the whole time that I obtained my permits uh November twenty-eighth, twenty nineteen until almost three years later, is under that statute of limitations uh stay.

Um during this time, we I began to discover irregularities having to do with the property owners' association out here, and duly reported them, it had to do with embezzlement at that point.

Further on, I realized that and and now to this date with recent discoveries that there has been fraud committed upon my title.

Okay, this has all come out during COVID.

No one wanted to really meet with myself and Mr.

Wilson about these issues.

I I don't have to um uh impress how things were during the pandemic, but that brings us up to the last eighteen month period of a building permit extensions.

Um there was work completed at the um cost of materials in excess of thirty thousand dollars plus hundreds of hours of my time for the engineered septic system that I had had the initial inspections on I was told by David Kelly after the initial excavations and filling of materials were done.

I was told go ahead and build it.

This is in 20 uh, I believe it was during the during the pandemic, it was it was after March 2020, and I believe we were masked, or Mr.

Kelly at least was masked during during this time.

He said, go ahead and build it.

I then proceeded to do this work, like I said, at a that uh outlay of thirty plus thousand dollars and hundreds of hours of my labor, and I then became then I then contracted COVID 19, a very severe case at a meeting of uh Truckey Meadows Fire Rescue Auxiliary Station 450 in Palomino Valley, confirmed case, Brian Farmer, and it was about three or four days after the meeting, I just started feeling awful.

I could barely move, and then was basically incapacitated for two months, saw uh suffered a huge weight loss and just detrimental to my health in general, and um the things things got worse and worse and worse with during the pandemic, the you know, daily, you know, uh so many people have died today, so many new cases have come up today.

Um this basically all falls under the stay of statutes.

So I'm asking that the work that I did do, and it was a substantial amount.

This is exhibit 13, and I believe it was good work.

I've been told, you know, for someone that's not a big construction guy that the work looked very professional that I did.

Um I'm asking Mr.

Belfort, you're talking about the photos of your septic system.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, I got it.

Keep going, sir.

And and to it also should be noted that what you're looking at there underneath that was another uh probably seven foot trench through very uh solid rock material, and then the all the fillings and the layering and the and then the construction of putting that there, and then all the fixtures and everything, which are no small inconsequential items who are very uh heavy, had to be placed and and leveled and and all that.

I mean, it was a huge amount of work, and it looked it was more than what's visible just in those photos.

Um I'm asking that section of work be applied to my last period of permit extension, so that right there would be four and a half, and it comes out to over four years to further add to the extenuating circumstances I've had to deal with this fraud upon my title, and the the uh looting and embezzlement that has gone on with the association that basically controls access to my property, and coincidentally the gentleman who is who was the complainant on this has a history of placing of injurious materials in the roadway and making documented threats with police reports saying that Mr.

Belfort, yes, Belfort.

Um, are you speaking about Mr.

Shrek?

Yes, I am okay.

Keep going, sir.

Um that has just uh delayed impeded um menaced to further add to these extenuating circumstances, and my contention is that the other seventeen months that have elapsed that you're looking back on now saying, oh, 2019 was a long time ago.

Well, it basically was 2020, because it was February or uh November 28th of 2019, so that we'll just call it 2020, and then the the winner and then the pandemic, there was work completed, and through this, through my appeals, through uh the appeal to the second judicial court, I've been met with nothing but false statements, fraudulent statements, deceptive practices by Washoe County, by James Lee Shrek.

Um and all of my criminal allegations, which have now been refined into undisputable proof that there's been fraud committed on my title, and it was committed by Gail Agnes Kern attorney, who was a uh president of either the Washoe County Bar or the Northern Nevada Bar, and it is my based on information and evidence.

a uh president of either the Washoe County Bar or the Northern Nevada Bar and it is my based on information and evidence my reporting of this has now has been uhwarded and ignored it's never been denied none of it's ever been denied in in over three years and that this has I'm mounted to my allegations now of racketeering involving Washoe County employees and again based on evidence and information it is this has all been now refined never in a million years would I have thought anything like this could go on but we have extremely strong indications of this now and again uh district attorney Christopher Hicks was recently served with our latest findings and again it's independent that at least warrants investigation and accountability for these things um all of these extenuating circumstances should under normal circumstances now now we're we're doing the the stay the stay of statutes the work that I did do on my septic system and stay and then one renewal period one extension period should all fit in to those three extensions that I received um that there was no reason other than Mr Shrek who has purchased twelve uh I but we believe more than twelve properties back in this area since while this was all going on and the other thing now that right after so to complete the timeline here I was given the letter from Mr.

Farmer the notice telling me to get off my property I received it it was dated June sixth approximately two weeks after that Mr.

Belfort just to clarify June June of last of 2025 yes I know uh no no twenty four okay that was the first notice twenty twenty four okay two weeks after I received that and coincidentally a copy of the outline of our criminal complaint that we have filed was done was was sent to Mr.

Farmer or actually it was sent to Kevin Costa the day before or the evening before at nine o'clock the letter from Mr.

Farmer so now this is now we've gone public with these criminal allegations criminal claims by three o'clock the next day Mr Farmer had generated this letter and it was sent to me I believe that is not a coincidence that can be overlooked okay when I immediately I opened my mail I immediately called Mr Farmer and I and and here was the thing I had a previous conversation with building planning my uh tech Sarah Harrell which it's all in the exhibits and I said I I was I was doing my renewals and again this is during the pandemic early a week before ten days before because I did not want any problems I was being very conscientious with it and I have an email from her which again is in the exhibits which states that um basically it was making it harder for her to renew my permit so I should wait until it's due and don't worry about it because there's a year's grace period with permits they will they will start on the date the date that they're up the the extension you know is

I was being very conscientious with it, and I have an email from her, which again is in the exhibits, which states that um basically it was making it harder for her to renew my permit, so I should wait until it's due and don't worry about it because there's a year's grace period with permits.

They will they will start on the date, the date that they're up, the the extension you know is up, but you still have a year's grace period to renew, so don't worry about it.

Um, I also have in writing representations that I had two more building permit extensions on the permit.

Um at some point there was a conversation that oh well we gave you an extra year or something like that.

No, the governor gave me three years with his stay.

That was my understanding of the situation.

Um I'm losing my losing my train of thought here.

Um I've I've acted in good faith with all of this.

Uh when I first began having problems, this is uh 17 months ago, I reached out to my county commissioner, Janine Herman, which I had never met her before, but had always heard good things about her, and told her of my issues that were going on here, and I received an email back from her saying Mr.

Farmer is bad news.

This is in the in the exhibits, the email.

I've been taking a look at sir.

I I understand which uh exhibit you're talking about, and I have taken a look at that.

Okay, thank you.

Um that that he's bad news and is acted uh basically saying he's acting in bad faith with uh the public.

Okay, there's there's uh some right there.

I mean, uh this guy that is basically trying to pass me into the wind, cause me great financial loss, and another county employee, uh, my commissioner for my district is telling me that he's bad news and has acted in bad faith with the his dealings with the public.

Um, you know, that so that right there, what what I want to go back in, like I said, I was losing my train of thought.

I'm going back to the property located directly adjacent to me at Zero Paras Springs when they were moving in the construction equipment.

They then proceeded to do this large amount of unpermitted grading and blocked the waterway, altered the waterway, which in some way I have certain right to, and I know for a fact, if that would have been me doing, I mean, I was told when I got my permits that driving over my property constituted grading, these people came in with huge excavators and did all this work.

Then I find out that the property was subdivided in a clandestine manner with no notice to me, no notice to Wilcox Ranch Property Owners Association, no notice to Wilcox Ranch Ditch Company.

I believe these occurrences lead to the fact that there's a racket going on here, and they want me off my property.

They do not want me.

This is not a matter of that I have violated anything.

This is a matter of they don't want me on my property, they don't want a little cabin on a hundred and five acres when they can subdivide someone can subdivide this and make hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions of dollars in revenue for the county.

It's not up to them.

This is my property.

And now these people are trying to racketeer me off my property, and I'm not standing for it.

Thus, the two federal lawsuits that I have filed, one of which you are named, and the other quiet title suit.

Sir Mr.

Buffert of the Who is named?

You are named in one.

Okay, so you're saying that as a hearing officer who is just now hearing your case, you have named me in another suit.

Oh, yeah, you were noticed.

I I understand.

I just am clarifying.

Yes.

Yes.

Keep moving, sir.

And uh Mr.

Geisinger and Mr.

Farmer are also named in a suit.

And the fact of you being named is refusing to delay the hearing or get a judicial ruling on my land patent claim that was filed on my property about approximately 10 months ago.

Okay.

Let's hold that thought for just a moment.

Um, Mr.

Belford.

Um, Mr.

Farmer, could you speak to the jurisdiction with regard to this uh property?

Um 300 paras springs, my understanding is that's uh where the violation is occurring, sir, that code enforcement is working towards enforcing is that correct?

The unincorporated county, yeah.

Okay, so that's within Washoe County, correct.

Okay, and is that within the jurisdiction of code enforcement?

Correct, yes.

Okay, thank you.

All right, Mr.

Belfort, please um go ahead.

Um trying to think where I was.

Well, I mean, you've already entered all of my exhibits into there, yes, sir.

Um I off on the map of the math here that there was that substantial uh amount of work done.

I mean, that amount of work in today's dollars would be probably eighty, eighty ninety thousand dollars to do uh what's depicted in those pictures there.

I also would say that any time that has elapsed since the June 6th refusal of extending my building permits, that's on Washoe County because I have tried, I have tried in good faith to work this out with them.

So if they wanted to delay it down, and I've I've continued to uh continue with my assertions that this all uh fell under extenuating circumstances, and I also believe that Nancy Leader saw that she also saw the validity, but refused, she said it was out of her jurisdiction, uh, out of her scope to address the criminal allegations here, but my contention is that as an attorney, I believe that were saying that there was crimes committed against me and my property, there was frauds and embezzled all kinds of frauds and embezzlement going on here that you guys have a duty under your oath to report these and address these crimes, and I believe that Mr.

Geisinger, um I'm not sure uh what he thinks his power is here as a as a head of uh building planning, but there's been statements on the record, and uh I have videos of him saying basically declaring that I've gotten enough due process, and and it's it's not up to it's not up to the plaintiff to determine what my due process rights are.

Um I I believe Mr.

Mr.

Uh how do you I'm not sure how you pronounce his name, Gessinger Geisinger?

Geisinger Geesinger, Mr.

Geesinger.

Uh I believe he's dishonest, which is further enforced by his ex parte communications with you.

Mr.

Belfort, my understanding is that you're referring to Mr.

Belfort, just one moment.

I'd like to make the record clear.

You're referring to an email that came in from Mr.

Geesinger with regard to his question about um he had a misunderstanding that this hearing was going to be in person, so it is not.

Um that was one of the the primary issues with regard to that.

And I've taken a look at his email as well as your refutation, which also would be arguably characterized as ex parte.

So I've taken a look at the still on the email chain.

It was still on the email chain.

And let me also add this to the record that ex parte communication with you was concealed from my view until I forwarded it to an associate of mine, and then he said, Did you see this?

And that's when I became aware of it, it had been scrubbed from the email chain that was sent to me by the uh administrative hearing office.

Mr.

Belfort, let me please clarify this.

Um the email did come in on a reply to a hearing notice, and that is why you were sent a copy of it to make sure that all parties have a level playing field, and knowing that you're pro-per, we want to make sure that you have due notice of anything that um is known by the court uh with regard to this case.

So that is that is how you got a copy of it because the court specifically ensured that you had a copy.

Ma'am, I did not receive that was hidden from my view, which would be consistent with someone deleting that email from guy uh Mr.

Giesinger out of the chain before it was sent to me, but it was still embedded in the email, and when I forwarded it, it became visible.

That's the only way that I knew about that, and it that contained many prejudicial statements, and that was never sent to me directly on an open email.

I discovered that by a fluke, which goes along with the deceptive and fraudulent practices that I have been been subjected to by Washoe County.

Uh, I also would like to bring up another instance of that when in following Nancy Leaders uh ruling that I obtained my permits, I immediately contacted Kelly Mullen, head of the permitting division, and received the same email back.

Oh, you don't have any more extensions left, which is contrary to the representations that I have in writing that are in the exhibits that said that I had two more left.

Okay, she then um in another conversation that is also in the email concerning the Board of Adjustments hearing, she said even if they rule for you at the Board of Adjustments, you still are not gonna get your permits back because you didn't appeal them within 10 days, and my reply to that was you refuse to answer my emails for 30 days.

I have that documented, it's in the exhibits.

I mean, it's it's just been one circumstance after another.

Okay.

And if you could wait for just a moment, Mr.

Belfort.

Um, with regard to specifically the email that you had referenced, that uh Mr.

Geesinger had indicated that his office um has been quite busy and that um it may be present a burden to continue on past the hour, which is ordinarily what we um allow for these hearings.

So I'm sorry, ma'am, but it said two.

Mr.

Belfort, I'm speaking, you need to be quiet for just a moment.

Mr.

Geesinger and Mr.

Farmer, my understanding is that it was a burden to um create a situation where you may need to um stay for the second hour of this hearing, um, depending upon how long it lasts.

So I'm going to ask at this moment is there any difficulty um with uh someone from code enforcement staying or and or um please let me know where you're at with this.

I can remain and answer any questions you may have.

Mr.

Giesinger.

Yes, thank you, uh, hearing officer by I really appreciate that.

I actually was able to cancel um well, I'm not going to attend it.

I was supposed to go to a workshop on the AB 211 receivership stuff, so that's why I really wanted to go to that, but I ended up canceling it so that I could stay if I if necessary.

So I appreciate that.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you, Mr.

Giesinger.

Mr.

Belfort, please continue, sir.

Okay.

At this point, um, I'd like to question Mr.

Giesinger.

Um at this time, I would like to ask what is your um line of questioning?

What is my line of questioning?

Well, it's varied, but uh one of the things is gonna come up is this ex parte communication and ex parte communications with Rob Pierce of the Board of Adjustments and what it where exactly I walked into an administration board of adjustments hearing, naively believing that I was gonna get some type of fair adjudication there.

Um you're permitted limited questioning.

Go ahead.

With regard to the issues you just uh identified.

Mr.

Geesinger, can you please state your full name for the record?

No, I already swore oath.

Yeah, my name.

Um, Mr.

Geesinger, go ahead, if you wouldn't mind your full name.

Uh Chad McLoyd Giesinger.

Excuse me, I didn't get the middle initial middle name.

Can you please repeat that?

Like what does that L stand for?

Lloyd.

Okay.

All right, thank you very much.

Um at what point did my board of adjustment hearing become Washoe County's appeal of the administrative hearing decision by Nancy Leader?

I mean, I need a date, a time, something.

When did that suddenly transform from my appeal to your and Washoe County's appeal?

Both parties have appeal rights when a hearing order is rendered.

The county exercise its appeal rights within the appeal window.

Was I ever notified?

Uh no, excuse me.

Let me back up a minute.

Can you tell me the date that the county filed its appeal?

I don't remember the exact date, but it was within the appeal window of the I tend to disagree.

I tend to disagree because I was within.

Mr.

Belfort, Mr.

Belfort, do you have a specific date in mind?

Well, that it was outside the date, if so, I didn't find the document.

Um indicated it was within the 25 days.

It was not because I was at the edge of the 25 days.

I did not receive verification of the hearing for another 30 days.

So he was outside of it.

Did you ever, Mr.

Giesinger, did you ever provide me with the exhibits for that hearing?

That your evidence for that hearing, did you ever provide me with those?

Yes, you were provided with everything per the procedures of the Board of Adjustment hearing and your appeal window for making all these arguments is over with.

You already went to district court, it was dismissed.

So this is all irrelevant.

Well, ma'am.

If you had those grievances, you had your chance to appeal them already.

I I object to Mr.

Geisinger making rulings and calling my uh my assertions irrelevant here.

Have you had any ex parte communications with Rob Pierce?

No.

Have you, Mr.

Giesinger?

Have you had any ex parte communications with district attorney Hicks or any of his uh deputies?

No, Mr.

Gasinger, have you had any ex parte communications with administrative hearing officer buyer?

I emailed a clarification for the when I got the hearing notice.

That was it.

Did that communication contain any statements or information that may influence or bias her decision?

Mr.

Belfort, that document speaks for itself.

Um, and Mr.

Giesinger is not perhaps in a position to indicate whether or not it influenced or not.

You also again, sir, presented an email response to Mr.

Giesinger's email.

I yes, ma'am, but circumstances of that email being concealed from deliberately concealed from me by the administrative hearing office.

I feel that this is both proper and relevant to bring up here.

Um with that said, and you've already admitted all the exhibits.

I think I'm gonna stand on my contention that due to the stay of statute of limitations by executive order of governor Sisilac, the amount of work completed during the last uh the last uh building permit extension period that my permits should be reinstated effective May 28th 2026, considering weather and considering all the financial damage that I have sustained here due to this, the due to the Washoe County's actions that it be started when the weather is cleared.

I feel this is more than fair and reasonable to ask for this.

Um I also think that by completely ignoring the existence of a filed land patent upon my property, the um so a jurisdictional challenge, the numerous at least two offers to pay and settle that I have submitted to Washoe County that were completely ignored, that my permits May 28th, 2026, and that everything since I received the the time that has elapsed since I received that first notice, which I believe was a um retaliation by Mr.

Shrek for my reporting of crimes that have been committed against myself and eighty other property owners here in the Wilcox Ranch area of Warm Springs under the Wilcox Ranch Property Owners Association and Ditch Company.

The extenuating further extenuating circumstances of having to unravel these frauds and cover-ups that have that have occurred here by past and present members or past and present employees of Washoe County, that my permits be reinstated, and then I will have to pursue the damages that have been done to me and the inflation that has occurred in the last 18 months that they have prevented me from working on my property.

Um this whole thing should never have gone to this degree.

The whole way now I'm being accused of being a sovereign citizen.

Sovereign citizens don't purchase building permits, sovereign citizens don't carry professional licensing.

For Trucky Meadows fire rescue.

I believe this is a financially motivated fraud and racketeering being perpetrated here.

I believe there are numerous instances of selective enforcement, and I would be willing to walk outside right now and point this camera at a at a cabin built with no permits, no nothing, directly across from me, aided by the complainant, James Lee Shrek, located at 200 Paras Springs.

So we got the unpermitted grading and the blocking of the waterways on the subdivision that Mr.

Geisinger worked on and approved behind me.

We got across from me this two hundred square foot cabin that had to drive when he took pictures of my property.

Then we have the property directly behind me, located at Far Springs, that is basically an RV park that they have pinned aggregate septic system.

But this whole thing is just one big selective enforcement raffeteering, they're trying to get me off my property here, and I'm not going to stand for it.

And this then Mr.

Belfart.

See clearly what the underlying tones are here of what's really going on.

And I just want to be left alone, get my permits, and continue building my project in my remaining two building permits.

Mr.

Belford, um, just to address uh one of the allegations that you made with regard to selective enforcement.

Um perhaps this is not public knowledge, but perhaps Mr.

Farmer could indicate how um complaints are brought to the attention of code enforcement, please, sir.

Um, at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners, we are complaint-based, so we do not proactively look for um code enforcement violations.

We only go out there and inspect once a complaint is received.

Mr.

Belfort has any complaints on any neighboring properties.

I urge him to call Washo 311 and make a complaint.

Okay, thank you.

You know, you know, ma'am, ma'am.

I I I gotta just stop you there, okay.

I I've this has gone so far beyond that.

I've told the I've written letters or they're in evidence to the district attorney naming all these things.

I mean, this is it's just blatant.

What's going on here, but to not cloud this issue, which I believe they're just using the technique of muddy in the waters here, doing the simple math that there was work completed in the last period of my extension before that, it was stayed for almost three years during the COVID pandemic.

Um putting all this other stuff aside that alone.

I should be granted my remaining two extensions and effective May 28th, 2026.

And I'm I you know, this is this is caused me.

This whole thing, the the uh malicious intent and the uh deceptive practices that I've been exposed to that have been employed on me by Washoe County.

No one should ever have to deal with anything like that.

And unless unless this gets resolved, it's just gonna go on and on and on because I have it uh very well documented what has occurred here.

So with that, I'm gonna end my presentation.

Thank you, sir.

Is there anything further from code enforcement?

Nope, unless you have any questions.

Uh thank you.

All right.

Um with regard to this case, um, it it appears that Mr.

Belford has been on the property for a substantial period of time living in his RV.

There's been an ongoing violation.

Um, as most recently indicated by the photos of November 19th, 2025.

Um, he is out of time with regard to the renewal of his building permits um, according to an email from Kelly Mullins dated July 11th of 2024.

Um, in that case, um, I note that there has been a violation with regard to Washoe County Code 110306, and then subsections, outdoor storage on vacant lands, as well as Washoe County Code section 110310, subparts, um, RVs, etc.

So you'll be getting a copy of the um information, the order on this case.

Thank all parties for being here today.

And um we're concluded and you're all dismissed.

Uh, just one question.

Are you going to note uh corrective action?

Because we're not going to issue any more penalties in this matter.

Um there is a loophole.

Um, but we didn't want to go the criminal route.

We wanted to give him a chance and do the notice of that.

So we would request that you do put a corrective action, maybe the same one that the Board of Adjustment had already issued, you know, 25-day removal.

Um, and then that way we can move forward with that if he does not come into compliance.

I imagine we'll get it um appealed no matter what, but I just think this would be clear going forward for us to actually resolve this issue.

Uh now I'd like to add something.

Yes, sir.

This is all now.

I'm not even speculating on what your ruling is going to be, unless you've already given it to me.

But oh, you did.

that the board of adjustment had already issued you know 25 day removal um and then that way we can move forward with that if he does not come into compliance i imagine we'll get it um appealed no matter what but i just think this would be clearer going forward for us to actually resolve this issue uh i'd like to add something yes sir this is all now i'm not even speculating on what your ruling is going to be unless you've already given it to me but oh you did yes well i'll just say this all ties in with the fraud that's gone on here the roads were in horrible shape there's no way i can get anyone up here to move this stuff with with the current go over your your exhibits you didn't talk about your exhibits well she told me that it was all entered in it is all of his uh wilson just so you know all of his all of the exhibits um including the case file from code enforcement um you know ma'am you know ma'am again the stay the stay um to ignore that you know a lot of things have been ignored here but i find it hard to ignore the state yeah no we've already discussed that they've they've ignored it they've ignored it so we won't expound on that anymore but take it in the federal yeah i mean you know i i i really again i've federal court on quiet i've acted in i've acted in good things here any additional time has been due to washo county denying my building permits i've i believe what i've presented has been fair and reasonable and one last thing that i'd like to say on the record is that i am requesting and i will do this by email i am requesting a copy of this hearing unedited i am willing to pay the 35 dollar fee for a uh dvd copy of this hearing and i will be requesting that by email a little later today all right thank you sir all right we're concluded today thank you
