$20 per day for each item that was not finished by the time she had specified. The Sarasota News Leader calculated the total as $4,090, based on her ruling. The Office of the County Attorney had not released the amount by our deadline this week. Assistant County Attorney Scott Bossard, who handled the case for the county on July 25, told the News Leader on July 28 that stan- dard procedure in Code Enforcement cases calls for the total of a fine to be tallied from the day after compliance was ordered through the day before the work was finished. For example, the first item on the punch list under the purview of the county's Public Utilities Department was the installation of a fence at the sewage lift station at the rear of the busi- ness, which is located at 5515 S. Tamiami Trail in Sarasota. The fence was to be finished by May 20, but it was not installed until June 6. Therefore, the fine would be assessed as $20 per day from May 21 through June 5, for a total of $320, according to Bossard's explanation. Special Magistrate Meg Wittmer has presided over the case since March 21. Photo by Rachel Hackney Sarasota News Leader August 1, 2014 Page 59
