Terry Bass was sworn in. He said this was Easter weekend and the overflow parking was full. So he parked sideways taking up the four (4) spaces. He said if he had parked in the regular direction he would have blocked the driveway. He said everytime he goes to Jaycee Park he gets a ticket. He said there is not enough boat parking spots.
Code Compliance Manager Arraiz said if the parking area is full, they needed to go to another location. The City is aware of the lack of spaces and has been working on the problem. In the meantime the signs say "park in designated spaces only."
The Special Magistrate found a violation did not exist and waived all fines and fees with a warning that if it happened again, he would not be as understanding.

Diane and John Johnson were sworn in. He said the ADT system was re-established after they bought the house. He said they both work and when the alarm goes off the company calls their home phone rather than their cell phones. When they finally get called on their cell phones, they tell the company not to call the Police Department; but they do and the Police show up after all. They paid $200.00 more on the bill. They called ADT and had them check the system. They checked and found the alarm in the living room is constantly going off. They replaced the monitor but it is continuing to go off. There has been no attempts of a break in. They installed cameras a couple of months ago but still the alarm is going off in the living room. They have called ADT out several other times but they have not found the problem
Ms. Ricker confirmed this information through the report. She has recommended the Johnsons bypass the living room sensor and they are now considering to do that.
The Special Magistrate found John and Dianne Johnson:
- A violation of Chapter 14 Article II – Alarm Systems did exist.
- The alarm system owner did provide sufficient evidence to support their appeal of the false alarm penalties.
- The false alarm penalties assessed against the alarm system owner are hereby waived.
- The alarm system owner’s account shall be updated to comply with this order and shall retain their current false alarm count status of 7 false alarms. If another false alarm occurs, the fine will be $200.00.
- This order shall be forwarded to Cry Wolf for processing.
Respectfully submitted:
Colleen Greer
Code Enforcement Clerk
