Olin Carilus was sworn in as Creole interpreter. Docius Lima was sworn in. Delson Rene was also sworn in. Mr. Rene took over as interpreter as he knew the situation with Mr. Lima. Due to Mr. Lima's health his sons were acting on his behalf. He apologized for it taking so long to correct the violations. He said he wanted to pay his dues and be beneficial to the community. He requested the lien be reduced to $1,500.
Special Magistrate Ross said the fact that it took 5 years to bring the property into compliance accruing $475,000.00 and that it is a rental she would not reduce it any lower than the $3,000.00 recommended by the City.
Manager Arraiz said she was willing to give them up to a year to pay the $3,000.00.
After much discussion, Mr. Lima accepted this reduction and accepted the year to pay.
The Special Magistrate, after reviewing the 7 criteria required by Rule 17 of the Rules of Procedure, approved a lien for $423,250.00 reduced to $3,000.00 payable in within 12 months beginning March 1, 2020 and being past due if not paid by March 1, 2021. Failure to pay the reduced amount within the time ordered, results in the lien reverting to its original amount
