Kowalsky; Greg Hyden Subject: Litigation Status Memo See below. City oJOkeecltobee v. Marvin Brantley, Case Number: 2004 CA 000309: The Court entered an Order Finding Defendant in Contempt of Court on September 21, 2020. Per that Order, if Mr. Brantley did not pay the fines and City's attorney's fees or enter into an agreed payment plan within 45 days, the City could file an Affidavit on same and get a judgment entered against him. We filed the Affidavit of Defendant's Non-Compliance with September 21, 2020 Order Finding Defendant in Contempt of Court on November 5, 2020. Also on November 5, 2020 we sent the Judge a letter enclosing both the Affidavit and a proposed judgment. We received the Final Judgment on November 19, 2020. We had it recorded in both Palm Beach County and Okeechobee County to create a judgment lien and had it recorded with the Florida Secretary of State so that it would become a judgment lien certificate. We had the Clerk issue a Writ of Possession and we are in the process of collecting what is needed to have the County Sheriff levy the property, i.e. sell it at an auction. City of Okeechobee v. Teresa Cappetta et al., Case Number 47 2020 CC 000189 CC AX MX: The City filed its foreclosure action along with discovery requests on November 2, 2020. All of the Defendants have been served. None have filed answers. Thus, we filed a Motion for Clerk's default against Teresa Cappetta (which was granted) and Roy Conerly (which is pending). We will file a Motion for Clerk's Default against Mary Conerly after the expiration of 20 days from her date of service. We will proceed with a Motion for Default Final Judgment once Clerk's Defaults are entered against all of the Defendants. City of Okeechobee u Gloria Rodriguez et al,. Case Number 47 2020 CC 000190 A: The City filed its foreclosure action on November 2, 2020 and its discovery requests on November 6, 2020. Noe Rodriguez has been served. We have been in communication with Colin Cameron, Esq., counsel for the property owners. They have demolished the house and are working with the City to bring the property into compliance. Colin Cameron, Esq. has been advised that the property owners will need to reimburse the City for its attorney's fees and that they can fill out a fine reduction request form, which is available from the City Code Enforcement office. We have entered into a"gentleman's agreement" with Colin Cameron, Esq. which abates the case until January 31, 2021. Colin Cameron, Esq. has made a settlement offer to resolve the case. City of Okeeclzobee u Brenda Kemp et �1., Case Number 2019 CA 253: On November 5, 2020 we filed the City's Motion for Default Final Judgment. That was granted on December 11, 2020. At the December 11, 2020 hearing, Ben Purvis expressed a desire to resolve the outstanding code violations and/or sell the property. As such the Judge scheduled a foreclosure sale date on April 14, 2021 to give him time to attempt to remediate the property or sell it. City of Okeec/:obee u Barbara Mitls, Case Number 2020 000194 CC AXMX: The City filled its foreclosure action on November 6, 2020. Richard Mills, the Personal Representative of the Estate of Barbara Mills, was served on November 10, 2020. As there is an open probate case in Palm Beach County, we filed a Statement of Claim in that matter. During the pendency of the case, he sold the property to Mr. Feltonberg. As a result, we will dismiss this case as the code enforcement lien encumbers the property not Richaxd Mills. Mr. Feltonberg has expressed a desire to seek a lien reduction. We will also need to file a Satisfaction of Claim in the probate case. City of Okeecliobee v. Crystal I, LLC, Case Number: 2017 CA 218: We filed the Motion for Default Final Judgment on October 28, 2020. The Court granted our Motion and entered a Final Judgment on November 17, 2020. The auction will be held on January 6, 2021. If the property is not purchased at auction, we will seek a new sale date. City of Okeec/zobee v.

The Clerk issued the summons on December 21, 2020 and we are attempting to serve the Defendant's agent. We are waiting on the City Council to approve moving forward on the following: 100 N.

The pending code enforcement matters are: 1. City of Okeechobee v. Brenda Kemp et, aL; 19t" Judicial Circuit Case Number 2019 CA 253: this is a foreclosure action resulting from the City's municipal lien/order. On October 30, 2020, I emailed Fred Sterling an Affidavit of Default Amounts Due. Once I get that back, I will set the Motion for Default Final Judgment for hearing. We intend to expedite this matter. 2. City of Okeechobee v. Gloria Rodriguez et al.; 19th Judicial Circuit Case Number not yet assigned: this action will be a foreclosure of the City's municipal lien/order. We have finalized the Complaint and intend to file it today, October 30, 2020. After the Defendants are served, . ;� . they have twenty days to file an Answer. If they do, we will serve discovery pleadings. If they do not file an Answer, we will press forward with a Default Final Judgment. 3. City of Okeechobee v. Teresa Cappetta et al.; 19t'' Judicial Circuit Case Number not yet assigned: this action will be a foreclosure of the City's municipal lien/order. We have finalized the Complaint and intend to file it today, October 30, 2020. After the Defendants are served, they have twenty days to file an Answer. If they do, we will serve discovery pleadings. If they do not file an Answer, we will press forward with a Default Final Judgment. I believe that Roy Conerly, one of the Defendants, is dead and so I preemptively drafted the Motion to Appoint Curator so that we could set up an estate for purposes of service of process. 4. Cify of Okeechobee v. Marvin W. Brantley; 1 gtn Judicial Circuit Case Number 47 2004 CA 000309: We successful in procuring an Order Finding Defendant in Contempt of Court on September 21, 2020. The Court ordered Mr. Brantley to pay the City $6,297.50 as and for the City's attorney's fees and$9,750.00 as and for the City's fines. Given that it is clear that he will not pay those fees and fines, I emailed Fred Sterling the Affidavit required. Once we get his Affidavit, we will submit same along with a proposed judgment. After the Court issues the judgment, we will record it so it becomes a Judgment Lien. We will also submit it to the State of Florida Secretary of State and get a Judgment Lien Certificate. Once that is done, we will ask the Clerk to issue a Writ of Execution and we will provide that, along with the Judgment Lien, the Judgment Lien Certificate and an Instructions for Levy form to the Okeechobee County Sheriff. The sheriff will then auction Mr. Brantley's property off. 5. City of Okeechobee v. Barbara Mills; 19t" Judicial Circuit Case Number 47 2004 CA 000309: On October 28, 2020, we filed a Suggestion of Death and Motion for Substitution as the Defendant is dead. The probate attorney agreed to enter into an Agreed Order and that was provided to the Judge on October 29, 2020. Once that is entered, the Personal Representative will be substituted in for the Defendant and he must file an Answer or a Default will be entered against him. We likewise, as a creditor of the Estate, filed a Statement of Claim in the Palm Beach County probate case on October 29, 2020. This property is purportedly homestead but that loses the protection on January 1, 2020. Depending on how this matter proceeds, we may need to file an Amended Complaint. 6. City of Okeechobee v. Crystal l, LLC; 19t" Judicial Circuit Case Number 2017 CA 218: We are waiting for the City's approval to proceed with this matter. The City had initiated a foreclosure case against the Defendant on September 15, 2017. On October 28, 2020 we filed a Motion for Default Final Judgment seeking $32,562.50 inclusive of attorney's fees. The Notice of Hearing was filed and the hearing is set for November 17, 2020. The proposed Order has already been emailed to the Judge. 7. City of Okeechobee v. Okeechobee Park Street, LLC (Walgreens); Code Enforcement Case Number 17-040: we have worked with City staff to draft a letter to the property owner advising it that if the current accruing liens are not paid, a foreclosure action will be initiated. Staff has not further advised of the status. 8. City of Okeechobee v. South Florida BBQ; 19th Judicial Circuit Case Number not yet assigned: the 90 day letter was sent to the property owner on February 27, 2020. We are waiting for the City's approval to proceed with foreclosure. 9. City of Okeechobee v. Fortex Holdings, LLC; 19th Judicial Circuit Case Number not yet assigned: the 90 day letter was sent to the property owner on March 2, 2020. We are waiting for the City's approval to proceed with foreclosure. As always, should you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact me or Carlyn Kowalsky.

Kowalsky; Missy Hernandez City of Okeechobee v. Crystal I, LLC I looked at the file provided to us on Crystal I, LLC. There is an existing foreclosure case filed in City of Okeechobee v. Crystal l, LLC; Case No.: 2017 CA 000218 CA. I pulled the information regarding Crystal I, LLC and it remains an active corporation and its registered agent is who was served. I also pulled the pleadings and I see that a Motion for Default was filed on March 20, 2018 and a Default was entered. A Motion for Summary Judgment in Foreclosure was filed on September 17, 2019. I do not believe it was properly done. Rather, a Motion for Default Final Judgment should be filed. I also see in the file that Crystal I, LLC has not paid its taxes on this property since at least 2013. Tax Deed Certificates have likely been issued. So this is another matter that we may need to amend to add other "interested" parties. G reg Greg Hyden Attorney at Law �� 1a�On Yea �� _. _ _ __ .. . - -- _ _ _ ��tt��; r ��s ,� r��n��hc��, ,�.�.

The Council needed additional time to review the information provided. The table below (located on page six, and included in Exhibit 2) provitles informaGon on which Code Cases the Code Board recommended, and City Council authorized, the foreclosure proceedings to begin. As explained at the previous meeting, City Staff, acting as instructed, were not to file the foreclosures immediately. However, several , Council Members voiced their exception to this practice, and want immediate action on foreclosures in the fliture. I Attorney Cook prepared and distributed a memorandum dated March 11, 2019, (included in Exhibit 2) along with a copy of relevant sections of Florida Statutes Chapter 162 conceming Code Enforcement.

Mr. Louis D'onofrio (son of Marguerite D'onofrio who is now deceasedj stated he inheritetl the property and was unaware of the liens.
