The Code Enforcement Board was created to issue orders having the force of law commanding
whatever steps are necessary to bring a Code violation into compliance.
Florida Statutes Section 162.05(2) requires members of the Code Enforcement Board to be

board is to consist of an architect, a businessperson, an engineer, a general contractor, a
subcontractor, and a realtor.
Six appointments are needed at this time for four members who have exceeded the number of
absences allowed per City Code and two vacancies:

Tapia (6 absences in 2005).
• Commissioner Winton has one nomination for regular seat currently vacant because
Michael Gongora resigned.
• Chairman Sanchez has one nomination for regular seat currently held by Manuel
Chamizo (15 absences in 2005).
• Commissioner Spence -Jones has one nomination for regular seat currently held by
James Moss (5 absences in 2005).

regular member.
For your convenience, we have included a copy of the current membership of said board. By copy
of this memorandum, we are requesting the Agenda Office to place this issue on the December 15,
