The overall mission is safety. Given the recent cold snaps and videod vagarants, I’m happy to hear the extension cords were for lights not heaters. Thank you for verifying that. It would be awesome if the owner (Shane) could work with Steve (Cowboy) to restore his power. He has been operating this commercial rental, the Thrift Store, with no power since Aug 6th, 2022 and I’m sure it has negatively impacted his business. It’s certainly has not promoted public confidence or conserved the value of the property. Thank you for also for checking the lean to. I’m happy to hear that has been cleared. The garage that has been turned into a Lanai was a primary source for “over night shelter” but I agree the fence should deter that. I’m happy to meet with you, Jeff, or anyone else that could provide me with ways to be safer. Last weekend I walked over to CCVFD and spoke with the agent on duty (sorry didn’t catch is name) and asked him to please come to Ellie’s backyard area and confirm we were in compliance with safety regulations. We were using propane heaters and wanted to be sure we were doing so safely. I witness 1 fire on that property when we were closed in 2020, but it was not until the second fire in 2022, when we were open and I was personally responsible to ensure everyone got out safely, did I feel the gravity of the safety regulations. My goal is to be fully compliant.

Specifically, the complaint involved a lean-to on the property, and the possibility of vagrants residing on the property. You also asked code enforcement to investigate two extension cords running from an outside outlet through the plywood at the back of 120 Jackson Avenue into the thrift store. I stated the City’s Fire Inspector would be involved in the inspection for code compliance. Below are Officer Robinson’s field notes regarding his investigation on said complaints: • 1/24/24 - I conducted a site visit with Fire Inspector Jeff Roberts to look at the extension cord complaint. We observed an exterior outlet with a plastic weatherproof covering along the wall next to the boarded-up garage. There were two extension cords coming out and then through a hole in the boarded-up garage to run a couple of lights for the Thrift Store. The Thrift Store owner, Cowboy, said the fire damaged his electrical box and he has no power. Jeff Roberts explained that extension cords are a temporary usage and can only be used for 90 days. Cowboy then complained about the Tiki Bar running extension cords all throughout the back area to run lights and other things back there. Staff did not enter that area of the Tiki Bar. Staff informed Cowboy that his electrical needs to be fixed or he cannot open his store to the public. I then looked at the second garage in the complaint and found the door has been removed essentially creating a covered lanai in the rear of the Thrift Store. There is a door in the back of the garage that is kept locked when the business is closed. There is no violation with this garage unit. The third issue of individuals living in the lean-to was looked at. There is a six foot gate going across the front and a six foot fence in rear of the roof coming off the side of the separate garage bays. The gate has a lock on it and no one was present inside. Inside was random items stored but nothing to indicate this is being used to live in. • 1/25/24 - I conducted a follow up visit to see if I could see anyone living in the lean-to, but no one was there and the gate was still locked. The interior looked undisturbed from what I observed yesterday. I spoke with Cowboy who informed me he and the property owner discussed the electrical issue and Beach Electric is coming out to see what they can do about getting electrical restored. We will continue to monitor this area for vagrants or homeless residing in the lean-to. We will also notify BCSO and ask if they can periodically check the area for individuals residing in the lean-to. CE will also monitor and reinspect the property to ensure the extension cords are removed and not used once the 90 days has elapsed. I am available at your convenience, to discuss the complaint filed by the Thrift Store owner regarding the use of extension cords on your premises, as noted in Officer Robinson’s notes above. We would also like to provide any recommendations, if necessary. Thank you.
