10. Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Leesburg, Florida,

City Commission Meeting · 2026-04-13 · agenda_item

A resolution was adopted by the City Commission of the City of Leesburg to waive and release a code enforcement fine and lien against the property at 1215 W. Dixie Avenue. The property owner, Robert G. Hicks, Trustee, has corrected the issue that led to the fine. The resolution was adopted after discussion about the nature of code enforcement fines, which are intended to achieve compliance rather than generate revenue. The commission agreed to waive the fine, which had been accruing at $100 per day for approximately a year and a half, resulting in tens of thousands of dollars. The final action reduced the fine to $1,500 to cover the city's administrative costs. This item is now considered adopted, meaning the process is complete for this specific action. While no new construction is involved, businesses involved in property management, legal services, and administrative support might find opportunities in future property compliance matters.
