Summary
This document is page 19 of the Code Enforcement Board Meeting Minutes from July 17, 2008. It details a dispute regarding a fine reduction for a client represented by Mr. Lynch (likely Jeffrey Epstein based on the House Oversight ID context, though he is not named on this specific page). The board debates whether the daily fine should be $125.00 or $250.00, citing conflicting records between transcripts and board orders, eventually voting to postpone the hearing until August 21, 2008, to clarify the correct amount.

of time if Mr. Wagner had been aware of the situation and filed the proper notice
with Town Council.
with Town Council.
Mr. Lynch said if some sort of arrangement could be reached today, his client
would be in a position to pay within the next two weeks. Mr. Hoffman said he
was concerned because he believed that when the case was originally heard, they
had the option of fining $250.00 a day and they gave them a fine reduction at the
time they initiated the fine of $125.00 a day. Mr. Walton corrected Mr. Hoffman,
advising that there was a motion for a fine of $125.00 a day which failed and the
fine that is in effect is $250.00 a day. Mr. Lynch said he believed the record
reflects something different than that. Mr. Walton said his records reflect $250.00
a day but he would review it. Mr. Walton reviewed the transcript and noted that it
showed $125.00 a day but the Board order specified $250.00 a day and he would
have to do further research.
Mr. Fried advised he could make a motion to postpone the matter to the next
meeting and have Mr. Walton bring back the correct information. There was
additional discussion about the amount of the fine and Mr. Lynch said he was
seeking a reduction of the $17,125.00 which would be the amount of the fine if it
was $125.00 a day. Mr. Hoffman said he would find that hard to accept. Mr.
Hoffman read from the minutes that a motion was made by Mr. Fried that the
defendant was found in non-compliance, ordered to pay an administrative fee in
the amount of $150.00, obtain a final building inspection by October 25, 2008 and
a fine of $125.00 to commence on October 26, 2007. He said that motion passed
4-3. Mr. Walton said he could not dispute that but he would have to do some
research. Mr. Hoffman said he would not be in favor of reducing the $17, 125.00
any further.
