Date of Citation Location of Violation Description of violation / facts
6/14/18 4000 US Highway 1 Superior Event Rentals erected a tent without a permit.

5-53(a) (8)
Commence or perform work for which a building permit is required, pursuant to Chapter 5 of the Fort Pierce Code of Ordinance without such building permit being in effect.

2nd Offense The City requests that if the Board finds the violation exists, the violator pay a penalty of $1,000.00

It was indicated that Mr. Mangan has not attempted to obtain a permit, or pay for the first Citation.  There has been no response to repeated efforts to contact Mr. Mangan by Certified and uncertified mail.  This item is being heard as that of an unlicensed contractor, therefore the fine is $1,000.00.  

Due to the circumstances, Mr. Waters moved to proceed with the fine in accordance with the Ordinance for $1,000.00.  Mr. Langel seconded the motion.  The Board inquired if  the fine for this citation was raised to $1,250.00 for an unlicensed contractor.   Staff indicated that this was correct.
 
 

Motion was made by Kenneth Waters, seconded by John Langel to implement the fine of $1,250.00 for this second offense of Citation for tent erection by an unlicensed contractor without a permit. Roll call was taken and the motion passed unanimously.
