KINTY & CAROLINE BULLEN, RESPONDENT(S) ORDER ON REQUEST FOR LIEN REDUCTION This cause, coming to be heard on February 8, 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, Mr. Aaron Kinty, an opportunity to be heard, and arguments from counsel for the City of Okeechobee, Mr. Greg Hyden, with testimony from Code Enforcement Officer Anthony Smith, reserved ruling on this matter for further consideration upon thorough review and consideration of the record. At the time of the hearing, Code Enforcement Officer Anthony reiterated the record facts causing the existing lien to accumulate to its present amount of $103,300.00 and stated the City of Okeechobee was 'recommending a lien reduction of 90%, and therefore reducing the lien to $10,325.00, plus a $50.00 administrative fee. The property only came into compliance on December 13, 2021, after being found in violation on March 4, 2020. (See transcript for specific details on the testimony of Mr. Smith). In response, Mr. Kinty, said he owned the property since 2005 and it is currently being sold for $12,000.00. He described the property as residential approximately 100 ft. x 150 ft. in size. Upon questioning from the City Attorney, Mr. Kinty admitted he was aware of the violation after September 8, 2020, having driven to the property a few times and his conversations with his partner Mr. Charles Wadlington who previously maintained the property. However, he requested the fine be reduced to $1,000.00 considering the current value of the property. (See transcript for details on the testimony of Mr. Kinty). 1 City Attorney, Mr. Hyden, reiterated the importance of consistency in fine reductions for Okeechobee residents and in considering exceptions to going beyond the City's customary lien reduction of 90% for first time offenders. This Court after reviewing the records pertaining to this case and having carefully considered the testimony of all witnesses and arguments of both parties, this Court finds that a reducing the lien to Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00), plus administrative fees, under the facts and circumstances of this case is reasonable and fair, and that such reduction is in the best interest of the City of Okeechobee.
