DiLeva then said Mr. Morris had called his office today and asked Mr. DiLeva if he could pile his stuff and have the City crew pick it up, which would be sometime next month, around the 17th. vMr. DiLeva explained he had no authority, as once the subpoena is issued it is out of his hands and it is up to th~ 'Code'~oara;. Mr. DiLeva added Mr. Morris accused him of harassing him, and Mr. DiLeva hung up. He said Mr. Morris called back and Mr. DiLeva turned him over to his boss, Mr. Fischer. t Mr. Fischer then said he spoke with Mr. Morris, who wanted to know the dates of spring clean up, which Mr. Fischer secured from Public Works. Public Works explained to Mr. Fischer they will pick up such items as household items, but will not pick up any building materials or supplies, and not before the 16th of May; all will be picked up without charge. Mr. Fischer said it is up to the Board as to whether Mr. Morris can remove this amount of material immediately or grant him an extension to the City's spring clean up day which is in approximately two weeks.

He said the automobile has always been there; it is on a trailer and the trailer has a license, that the title to the vehicle is being researched in Massachusetts at this time. He added when he moved back into the house he told his neighbor it was going to take him sometime to get the house into order; that he had a garage sale; that some of his materials are $2500 worth of carpet machines. He said he did clean out the shed so as to move it, . and Mr. Fischer had given him permission to move the shed. He added he hoped to have everything cleaned up and out of there by the spring cleaning date. Mrs. Cucanich then asked just what the City will take away and Mr. Fischer answered they will pick up any household goods, etc. and Mr. Morris could contact the City to get it out of their now as a special pick up, but that is up to the Board. Mr. Morris said he can't possibly get it out of there:in that time as he works long hours. Mr. Williams asked for the Board's opinion, and Mrs. Kane said it doesn't solve the problem of the car, no matter what, and Mr. DiLeva said the car has to be gone or in a garage. Mrs. Kane said yes, uhe car has to be tagged or put in a garage. Mr. Morris then asked if the Board would please give him until the sixteenth. Mrs. Adle asked ~ if Mr. Morris could take the trash to a county dump and Mr. Fischer~ said yes, to Tomoka. Mrs. Cucanich then stated she thinks the Board has been more than lenient and moved the Board give Mr. Morris until the first of Mayor a $100.00 per day fine, and also get a plate on the car.
