January 10, 2023, Special Magistrate Hearing, Page 4 of 4 CITY OF OKEECHOBEE CODE ENFORCEMENT SPECIAL MAGISTRATE HEARING CODE ENFORCEMENT FOR CASE NO: 220128007 THE CITY OF OKEECHOBEE,FLORIDA. Special Magistrate Roger Azcona Petitioner, vs. PERRY SYLVESTER ARNOLD JR., Respondent(s) / FINAL ORDER ON REQUEST FOR LIEN REDUCTION THIS CAUSE coming to be heard on September 13, 2022, at the City of Okeechobee Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Hearing on the Respondent's request for lien reduction. The Special Magistrate, having given the Respondent's representative, Ms. Pamela Arnold, and witness, Selena Taylor, an opportunity to be heard, and arguments from counsel for the City of Okeechobee, Mr. Greg Hyden, with testimony from Code Enforcement Officers Anthony Smith and Christina Curl, reserved ruling on this matter for further consideration upon thorough review and consideration of the record. At the time of the hearing on September 13, 2022, Code Enforcement Officer Anthony reiterated the record facts causing the existing lien to accumulate to its present amount of$5,700.00 and stated the City of Okeechobee was recommending a lien reduction of 75% pursuant to the City's fine reduction schedule, and therefore reducing the lien to $1,425.00, plus a $50.00 administrative fee. The total amount due after the City's recommendation is $1,475.00. The property came into compliance on August 17, 2022, after being found in violation on January 28, 2022. (See transcript for specific details on the testimony of Mr. Smith). In response, Ms. Pamela Arnold, asked for a complete dismissal of the fines stating Mr. Arnold's special circumstances in his pending guardianship in case 2022-GA-216 in the Circuit Court of Okeechobee where the court declared Mr. Arnold totally incompetent. She stated that "Mr. Arnold 1 comprehends very little of what is actually being said, so when they said the car needed to be removed along with this being done...what stuck was the car being removed so he called his brother, and his brother immediately went and removed the car..." The family was not aware of the violations until Mr. Arnold went to jail. Ms. Salena Taylor testified stating that "it was not until a stranger had brought her a letter from her brother's mailbox that she seen the letter from Code Enforcement, and she immediately went to find out what can be done to stop this." Ms. Christina Curl of the Okeechobee Code Enforcement stated she was at the scene and explained to Mr. Arnold what was going on and that things needed to be corrected. At the time, Ms. Curl felt he acted like he understood what she was saying to him. City Attorney, Mr. Hyden, asked Mr. Smith if the lien reduction in this case is consistent with the City's Lien Reduction schedule, in which case Mr. Smith affirmed that it is. Mr. Hyden argued that the city has a policy of how they recommend fine reductions and certainly sympathize with the guardianship matters but all residents and applicants have to be treated the same way. He further stated, if we start parceling out that a homeowner is involved in some type of litigation that gets more sympathy than a different type of litigation then the city opens itself up to claims of nepotism, so the city has established a policy by which it provides consistent recommendations on requests for fine reductions. This is a property owner, there is an obligation to maintain the property that was not done, and a fine was imposed pursuant to the rules that govern our staff and the city ordinances. I think the city was consistent with the fine reduction that was recommended so we stand by that fine reduction. This Court after reviewing the records pertaining to this case, carefully considered the testimony of all witnesses and arguments of both parties, and upon review the Okeechobee Circuit Court's order dated October 3, 2022, in 2022-OS-90 and 2022-GA-216 in re: Guardianship of Perry Sylvester Arnold's "Adjudication as to Incapacity" (copy attached herein), where the Circuit Court finds by clear and convincing evidence after review of the examining committee reports that Mr. Arnold is "completely without the capacity to care for himself or his property" by "means of an unspecified neurocognitive disorder"; therefore, this court will take judicial notice of the Circuit Court's ruling and 2 finds that a lien reduction by 75%, which comes to the amount of Two Thousand Thirty-Seven Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2,037.50), including the $50 administrative fees, under the facts and unusual circumstances of this case remains excessive as outlined above. The property came into compliance in July 26, 2022, since it was first found in violation on January 28, 2022, when it was clearly under the care of Mr. Arnold. This court also reviewed the records in Okeechobee Circuit Court case of Florida vs. Perry Arnold (2022CF00034--copy "Sentence Imposed" attached herein), which corroborates Ms. Pamela Arnold's statement that the respondent was incarcerated in the county jail. The Court record shows Mr. Arnold was sentenced to serve 60 days in the County Jail on May 31, 2022. The plenary guardians, Mr. Vernon Arnold, and Selena Taylor did not become aware of the violations and accumulation of the fines until a later date and acted diligently to correct the code violations. The fines will therefore be reduced further to 100%. DON ND ORDERED in the City of Okeechobee, Okeechobee County, Florida this /:::;day of , 2023.

ADJUDICATION AS TO INCAPACITY The alleged incapacitated person is 67 year old Mr. Perry Sylvester Arnold(hereinafter referred to as Mr.Arnold). Mr. Arnold appeared in person before the court. The Court finds the reports from examining committee testimony from Dr. Stanley Bloom, Connie Ingram Ph.D., LMHC, and Belkin Candelier LMHC extremely persuasive. All three found that Mr. Arnold was completely without the capacity to care for himself or his property. Mr. Arnold after consultation with his attorney Mr. Ray stipulated to his incapacity. All of the findings of facts demonstrate Mr. Arnold is totally without the capacity to care for himself or his property. This Court finds by clear and convincing evidence after review of the examining committee reports and the stipulation entered into by Mr.Arnold that Mr.Arnold is incapacitated completely. Mr.Arnold is incapacitated by means of an unspecified neurocognitive disorder. The evidence shows by clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Arnold is without the capacity to care for himself or his property. The evidence shows that Mr.Arnold lacks the capacity to make informed decisions about care and treatment services or to meet the essential requirements for his physical or mental health or safety.

ADJUDICATION AS TO INCAPACITY The alleged incapacitated person is 67 year old Mr. Perry Sylvester Arnold(hereinafter referred to as Mr. Arnold). Mr.Arnold appeared in person before the court. The Court finds the reports from examining committee testimony from Dr. Stanley Bloom, Connie Ingram Ph.D., LMHC, and Belkin Candelier LMHC extremely persuasive. All three found that Mr. Arnold was completely without the capacity to care for himself or his property. Mr. Arnold after consultation with his attorney Mr. Ray stipulated to his incapacity. All of the findings of facts demonstrate Mr. Arnold is totally without the capacity to care for himself or his property. This Court finds by clear and convincing evidence after review of the examining committee reports and the stipulation entered into by Mr.Arnold that Mr.Arnold is incapacitated completely. Mr.Arnold is incapacitated by means of an unspecified neurocognitive disorder. The evidence shows by clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Arnold is without the capacity to care for himself or his property. The evidence shows that Mr.Arnold lacks the capacity to make informed decisions about care and treatment services or to meet the essential requirements for his physical or mental health or safety.

An Alleged Incapacitated Person REPORT OF EXAMINING COMMITTEE MEMBER (Individual) The undersigned, being a member of the committee appointed to examine PERRY SYLVESTER ARNOLD, JR. reports that such examination, as directed by the Order Appointing Examining Committee, has been completed. The report of the comprehensive examination, with evaluations and recommendations, is as follows: I. GENERAL INFORMATION Name of person being examined: PERRY SYLVESTER ARNOLD, JR. Date of birth: 12/26/1954 Residence of person: 620 NE 4th Street, Okeechobee, FL 34972 Date and time of examination: 04/03/2022 12:30 p.m. Names of all persons present during the examination: AIP and Cherie Widdon If a person other than the subject of the examination answers questions posed to the alleged incapacitated person, specify the name of the person and the information provided: Cherie Widdon began answering questions for AIP but when asked to allow him to answer for himself, removed herself from the immediate area to sit about 10 feet away. Ms. Widdon continued to interrupt from time-to-time telling AIP she was going to "call an attorney tomorrow and get this settled" and "...all they want is your money". Ms. Page 1 of 5 Electronically Filed Okeechobee Case# 2002000090MHAXMX 04/19/2022 01:14:01 PM Widdon reported that AIP "cannot cook because he will walk outside and forget he has the stove on". Following my evaluation of AIP, I met at another address with his sister, Selena Taylor. She reported that AIP has allowed 4-5 strangers to live in his home at a time; some being felons. I asked where they slept because the house is extremely small, and Mrs. Taylor reported they "slept on the floor...even in the kitchen". Further, she reported that AIP has one child for whom he signed over custody to foster care in 1974. /en/ Name and address of extended care facility (if any): N/A Alleged incapacity is: Limited cognitive functioning due to a history of two brain aneurysms resulting in memory loss and cognitive impairment. DIAGNOSIS: AIP was admitted to JFK hospital in West Palm Beach and to HCA Florida Trauma Center in Ft. Pierce due to 2 separate incidences of brain bleeds. PROGNOSIS: Poor RECOMMENDED COURSE OF TREATMENT: AIP will benefit from nursing care services coming into his home regularly to help manage his hygiene and nutrition. AIP will further benefit from having someone help manage his disability income and pay his bills. A full physical assessment is also recommended. AIR will best be served by residential care in a memory care facility. II. EVALUATION OF ALLEGED INCAPACITATED PERSON'S ABILITY TO RETAIN HIS OR HER RIGHTS (without limitation) THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE IS CHARGED WITH DETERMINING WHETHER THE ALLEGED INCAPACITATED PERSON HAS THE ABILITY TO EXERCISE THOSE RIGHTS SPECIFIED IN FLORIDA STATUTES SECTION 744.3215(2) & (3)WHICH THE Page 2 of 5 PETITIONER HAS REQUESTED BE REMOVED IN THE PETITION TO DETERMINE INCAPACITY. (NOTE: Legislative intent in adopting the current version of the Florida Guardianship Law is to make available the least restrictive form of guardianship to assist persons who are only partially incapable of caring for their needs, with incapacitated persons to be able to participate as fully as possible in all decisions affecting them.) The alleged incapacitated person has the capacity to: YES NO make informed decisions regarding his/her right to marry. YES NO make informed decisions regarding his/her right to vote. YES NO make informed decisions regarding his/her right to personally apply for government benefits. YES NO make informed decisions regarding his/her right to have a driver's license or operate a motor vehicle. YES NO make informed decisions regarding his/her right to travel.

AIP claims he does not know if he has a primary care physician nor the last time he had a medical check-up. I called the Senior Service Case Manager (Betty Simmons) who claims she has no record of AIP. Mental Health Examination: I administered the St. Louis University Mental Status Examination (SLUMS). AIP score was in the"dementia" range for a person with less than a high school education. (AIP has an 8th grade education) AIP claimed he has 3 children but did not know their names. His hygiene is poor. His nails were crusted with dirt, his hair, body and clothing were soiled. The house is neglected to the point of having no water because the "well caved in". Three dogs live in the home with AIP and Ms. Widdon who said "he (AIP) cannot feed himself, let alone these dogs...people just dropped the big dog off to him". AIP claims he can read so I had him read a short passage. He struggled through but could not finish the entire sentence. Ms. Widdon claims she writes and reads for AIP. Functional Assessment: AIP lacks daily functioning activities. He cannot drive, maintain personal hygiene, or cook for himself. It is evident that AIP and his home have been severely neglected. If any of the three parts of the comprehensive examination were not indicated or could not be accomplished for any reason, the reason for the omission must be explained. Consultation with Family Physician: Yes No X . If no, why? Physician unavailable. Please list specific evidence of the person's incapacity to exercise informed decisions in the categories previously checked: AIP's score on the SLUMS evaluation as well as this evaluator's observations of AIP's limited ability to read and comprehend, answer simple questions, his hygiene and reports from his sister and his roommate.
