My proposal consists of the following;
1. As Special Magistrate for Code Enforcement I will conduct hearings
once a month, or as often as the City Council directs that hearings be held.
Hearings will be conducted in accordance with the City Code and due
process of law, and I will promptly enter an appropriate order with respect
to each matter brought before me. I will treat City officials and employees
and the citizens, residents and property owners of the City of Sebastian with
dignity and respect.
2. The City will compensate the Special Magistrate at the hourly rate of
One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for the conduct of the hearings and the
appropriate disposition of each case brought to hearing. The Special
Magistrate will bill the City at the end of each month in which services were
rendered.
3. The City will not be responsible for paying or reimbursing the Special

lodging, postage, telephone, office supplies, computer time, copies, faxes or
any other costs or expenses, whether direct, indirect or incidental.
4. The City will not be obligated to provide any minimum amount of work
for the Special Magistrate.
5. The Special Magistrate shall serve at the will of the City Council. The
City Council may terminate the Special Magistrate's appointment at any
time without cause.
6. The Special Magistrate's appointment is not exclusive. The City Council,
in the exercise of its discretion, may appoint additional Special Magistrates
at any time.
I will be available for an interview at any time convenient to the City.
